it would be cooler if the diorama had more dispair, like mangled bodies or the actual aftermath of a war. What if the models are actually standing on fallen comrades. I feel like the dog doesn't add much and it would be cooler if there was a medic attending to a fallen soldier etc. Also stop beating yourself up about not winning, I think you're great
Maybe resculpt the cloak on the rightmost soldier? It is just hanging right now while the hero's is flying in the wind along with the banner.
I second this it'll make the whole thing look that much more heroic. Makes everyone there look like heroes instead of a hero and his entourage
Was about to comment for this but it seems I just have to upvote yours! Can't agree more, the rest looks great.
Was thinking the same thing. Same with the one on the left, although that's less jarring.
Yeah, that heavy wind from the main mini should be reflected somehow on to the rest of the diorama...
I agree that this would add more drama and cohesion to the piece, it can also be a huge negative against the piece as a whole if it isn't properly executed.
If Jon's intention is to have this be a competition piece, he runs the risk of sculpting something that might not be 100% up to the judge's standards. If he has not sculpted anything at all, he would not run the risk for any unnecessary judgement.
But hey, maybe he can really pull it off, and it would make it all the better. This is just a concern for competition pieces.
I love the subtle life lessons in here. "I learned from my mistakes, grew, and won't make those mistakes again. Instead, I'll make all new ones!" Perfect summation of life.
Man this thing is going to be sick! Can’t wait to see it painted.
i literally started the 'hobby' this weekend and am amused at being at the fartest reaches of the skill spectrum from this but your videos have been instrumental in recent weeks in helping me get set up and prepared to paint! Thank so much and I cant wait to see how this turns out.
The vampire scene was amazing. This one looks to be even better.
Didnt like it so much. This one started way better
Went looking through Epic Basing's offerings but couldn't find the ruined walls you used, maybe I'm just blind! (I did find the ancient temple flooring you used so that's cool!)
omg I love this! You've really inspired me to paint my own CoS box :)
Would you consider adding the gargolyians onto the base? They're these cool little critters that hang around cities of sigmar armies.
The fact that the blurred silhouette in the thumbnail looks visually interesting is a good sign for the finished product.
It’s a good day when we get a new Ninjon upload!
13:42 100% will. These are my favorite video John!
13:33 Slay the Gray young man. Slay the Gray.
YYYYEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
I know nothing about composition, but this year's diorama is already much more exciting!
@Ninjon Very cool! My only suggestion is to make the cloak of the pike/spear dude flow in the same direction as the horse dude's cloth related items.
Honestly the vampire scene was sick! I DO get the composition issues with it, but it also has good... What I can only describe as flow? Movement? The zombies coming up the rear look great
2:15 I tend to have a lot of tabs open in my browser, but this is next level John!
Always enjoy these videos - thanks!
Lovely progress so far, Jon!
Love this. Looking forward to seeing more videos in the future showing further progress on this project.
Love your vids!
Looking forward to the next one mate!
Love the video, amazing to see you embark on that adventure again. Love the diorama!
Fantastic job Jon, composition really pops, and love the parallel lines of power directing the eye
It looks really good! I also wonder how it would look if the guys on foot were looking up at the mounted leader, and he was looking down, somber after a costly defense of the castle/city. The hope of the soldiers as they look up to their leader contrasting with the melancholy of the leader that knows they have lost too much and may not recover in time for the next attack.
Super excited to see how this goes!
I use DAS for my Emperor's Children bases. But I mix it with PVA glue to make it less brittle when it dries. Then use textured rollers over them.
This is incredible - you nailed the composition in my opinion. The slow rise of characters up to the Marshall has this heroic posing that lends to the story of what had just occurred in this scene. Love it
Looks great, looking forward to the painting stage
these are super cool videos to watch, keep it up
looking great!
DAS clay is an essential part of my terrain/basing. Probably not the best for bricks though, but SUPER good for smoothing out the transition between vertical layers, creating hills/lumps/etc. Really recommend.
Awesome video John! Probably one of my favorite WIP ones you've done. I can't wait to see the rest of the progression! Best of luck this year and this piece is shaping up to be something extremely special!!!
Damn! It`s already lookin great! Cant wait for the progress!
Looks great already! I love this project of yours.
Dayum that really looks sick! Love it already.
Looks super clean
This is looking great, looking forward to seeing it painted! 🤘🤘
Such a fun and dynamic piece, I can't wait to see it painted!!
Looking forward to seeing more of this piece. It looks awesome so far. I have a feeling you will do good this time
can't wait for part 2!!! awesome scene! (and by the way, I loved your vampire scene!)
Looks so good!
Wow! That is going to be a great model. Look forward to seeing it finished.
@Ninjon - this looks awesome! A big improvement and much more epic. Really looking forward to seeing this painted.
I'm looking forward to seeing several more videos on this project!
Before you go to painting, I think you should convert some wind generated motion into all of the minis. The cloak on the right guy certainly but also the others. Just some strings/ bandages could sell the effect for the cloakless minis.
What could also be cool is adding that effect into the eventual trees/bushes you'll add.
Just saw the Golden Demon update. Congrats on taking home an award. Looked like the competition was steep.
Looking forward to this series! Excellent video inspired me to work on a diorama.
Looks AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your thought process and techniques. Looking forward to the next step.
This is such an interesting video! I can't wait for more on this diorama, it's looking pretty great already! Also, thanks for sharing all of this journey; I've been painting minis for 4 years and only this year did I get into making dioramas, it's such a unique experience and I absolutely love it. Watching your videos on your previous diorama inspired me a lot on how to think my own projects, and I already have some really cool notes from this video to implement on my own dioramas, so thank you!
Thanks Ninjon. Great video. Nice to see your transparent process worts and all. You are a great instructor.
Dude, I love your videos. Can't wait to see this painted up.
Looks pretty cool, can't wait to see how you go painting it.
Looks awesome Jon
Love the composition on this one. Looking forward to seeing it painted!
Where I'm from every kid used to play with DAS clay in elementary school, once you get to know the material you can do some very small and precise details.
I really like where you're headed with this project - the way you've set up the minis creates some great negative spaces that are already starting to pop even even without a coat of primer.
looks great! amazing how a simple change in composition can make such a big difference 👍
Looking forward to the painting video!
Amazing stuff Jon, like you said composition already feels exciting and dramatic, and focused. Keep it up and truly hope you get placed in the top 3!
I love this concept! Reminds me of those WWII photos of squads after a battle or something just standing there heroically or with this solemn look after a harrowing battle.
I'm really excited to see the final result!
I came back to this video after watching the podcast and its great to see you made changes.
Awesome video, awesome project….just all-around awesome. The composition and setting looks great (also awesome)!
Looks great Jon!
Really nice scene right there 👏👏
This looks great! Cant wait to see progress videos on this! \m/
Just found your videos and i love them!
looking forward to seeing this painted
I can't wait to follow your progress with this!
I wish I had the time and patience to do those kinds of dioramas. They're always really cool to see. Great job and I can't wait to see the results of the future painting sessions to get it finished.
Awesome! I hope you'll be able to work in dramatic lighting like you did in the undead scene. Maybe dusk or dawn to fit the battle aftermath atmosphere. Can't wait for the next video!
Thanks, really inspiring.
I'd like to encourage any and all painters to make scenic bases. The process I found extremely rewarding and liberating. A very nice way to take a step back from a precise and ardous paintjob, and just let loose with a bunch of random stuff. Great video Jon!
I absolutely love this! This has inspired me to create small sized dioramas for models and i absolutely love the process, keep up the great work
I really like this piece! I Can't wait for it to be painted!
Excellent composition 😊
That’s looking really cool, you set the scene nicely 😎👌
It was so funny to see you looking for inspiration with that photo 😂
In fact, it is the castle of "Sant Miquel" in Alta-Riba, in Catalonia, not far from where I live!
Thank you for the video, it was very interesting and useful (like all of the others that you make) 🎉🎉
amazing piece! Cannot wait to se the paint job on this :)
looks great
That mini diorama looks pretty bad ass, I look forward to seeing it in the case this coming year at Adepticon! Thanks for sharing the process.. your videos are always enjoyable and informative!!
Comp looks great!
This setup looks amazing. They feel like they are preparing to stand against a greater foe that is charging in. Looks epic and cant wait to see it painted up. Good luck!!
What an awesome scene! This video just helped with the composition of a diorarma I am working now.
Look forward to following this journey and seeing it myself at the Golden Demon. Good luck.
Looking at finished Golden Demon dioramas always feels so intimidating, like completely unapproachable for the average hobbyist, but seeing you go through the whole process in detail, breaking it down even to the pre-thought and sketching stages makes it seem so much more interesting. This video actually inspires me to try out a diorama, maybe to use as a terrain piece or something functional as I’m not a competition level painter.
(Side note: finally clicked the button and placed an order from Into the AM! That hoodie finally sold me on checking them out.)
Beautiful
I can hardly wait to see what it looks like with paint on it!
This looks great! Reall inspiring for a CoS diorama im planning right now! Working up a plan currently to do a very similar rag tag last stand type scene.
That is already looking very interesting. I particularly noted how you have the figures all looking at only 2 different reference points outside of the diorama. Great work incorporating all of your learnings!
I'd add a few different grades of grit sparingly over the brown textured areas to sell the recently collapse look, as the fine texture would suggest less rubble and its just sunk into the ground over time, rather than a pule of rubble of the remains of a keep.
That looks like it’s going to be a fun project. I managed to get some time in painting a model this week and did some pretty solid work painting my first ork
Sculpting all you want, we all know there is a cork tower under it all.
Jokes aside the scene is really interesting. I can imagine little embers floating in the air as the dust is setting from this battle. I’m imagining the scene in Kingdom of Heaven when the wall is breached and the fighting just turns into a mosh pit at the gap.
Love your work and has inspired me to devil into more scenic bases and dioramas then gameplay.
The scene composition looks gorgeous. If you wanted an epic look, you definitely achieved it!
Can't wait to see how you paint one of my fav kits recently released, the Freeguild Cavalier-Marshal 🤩
Cant wait to see you slap some paint on this bad boy mate! Great great video as always!
Great job as always. Just as an idea for you, maybe you should add some battle damage to miniatures, like damaged weapons and armore, bandaged body parts and severed limbs, to really sell the look that they have just come out from hard battle. And maybe a couple of corpses here and there, provided you have free space left.)
Looking great, to me this video was way more interesting and entertaining than a normal “paint the mini” video. I’ll be on the look out for the next one in this series.
If you can eventually pull off a GD, that would have to be the best improvement in artistry I’ve seen in the hobby. The fact you’re even competing just shows the effort you’ve put in, not just in painting, but in your video quality and scripts. I have a feeling you’re a very competitive person, and I really do appreciate the work you put in on your videos.
New series? Let’s go!!
That looks great, my dude! I can't wait to see it painted. You'll win for sure.
It's not often I bookmark a video, but I think this one is going to be a valuable reference for me in the not too distant future.
Yeah this base is looking on point, cant wait to see it get some colour.
