  • In this video we are making a cave / arch with dragonstone! I had a lot of this rock lying around and always wanted to make a cool structure with it. We are also adding some shrimp and beautiful ricefish!

    This one is a piece of art, that arch is beautiful. Great tutorial and also loved it that you showed the progress instead of a jumpcut, something nice to see once in a while. Makes me realize that all hobbyists have some hickups along the way.

    @priyankardas2668 Před 11 měsíci +21

    I mean, this is really Epic! I don't think a nano scape can get any better than this! Beautiful work and the production quality is insane. The hardwork and passion definitely shows...
    Keep up the great work

  • @raul31081989
    @raul31081989 Před 11 měsíci +37

    Just one tip...if the two arches were away from one another like one in front and one slightly back, it would've given a sense of depth. Looking from far it would've looked the same but close by one can notice the details

    • @chadmarcum7194
      @chadmarcum7194 Před 11 měsíci +1

      I believe He went from.more of a cave worn away build and a existing entrance in the front adds the depth imo like seeing it in reverse like from int the cave
