Just thought I'd try some prop making, thank you for all the support! I'd love to do more like this in the future sometime, so if you have any ideas hmu.
I feel like the production quality of your chanel keeps growing and growing man. I absolutely love this angry boys, and your big ass steampunk light bulb! Your workshop is looking more and more like that of a wizards lol
Hey Miscast, I reckon you'd make a great book case diorama alleyway thing, you know the ones I'm talking about - the miniature alleyway inbetween your books. Love to see your spin on that. Bonus points for goblins.
I absolutely love the pikmin video games, my dream is to have a bunch of 3d printed pikmin options and animals to make dioramas
In case that you want to make a few more mandrakes how about some with worms or bites taken out of them. As for other sculpting ideas maybe a homuculus in a flask maybe with some alchemical apparatuses or a rat King would be disgusting but also cool and if you managed to turn it into a mini like the cultist it could make an interesting addition to the Nurgel army. A undead trilobite could be cool Fossilies of ancient marine life reanimated by a necromancer to swarm his foes a bit like the scarab swarms of the necrons.
How about a 40k cherub? Even just in a similar size as these. Seems like a cool thing to make/have to me.
Those mandrakes have so much character. You can almost hear their grumpy little voices:
"Luv footy. Luv me pot. Luv screamin'. Simple as."
I'm so pleased at how pleased you are with these little rooty boys
This is one of the best places on the Internet. Just such a good vibe, incredible creativity and such a high production quality to tie it all together. I'd watch you create anything as long as you were passionate about it.
I also feel like this is a sculpting project that's something I could reasonably try as a first step into clay sculpting. You break down the steps so well. Keep doing your thing man, this is great.
100% Agreed.
Thub, Bub, and Grub grew up so fast. Excellent build and video m8
"I'm really channeling some chuff dad energy right now"
Hell yeah you are, and we're here for it
I'll be honest, I had seen this video title and thought,"This is a one-time prop for any game, why would you etc. etc." And then I remembered: oh, right- you can just make something because it's fun to make something and because it makes you happy.
Thanks, Trent.
"I love mandrakes and so do you" uh okay I didn't know I do but thanks :p
They are sad and chunky, what's not to like?
I didn’t know either but now I realized I do.
Yeah this rules so hard.
I'll be making some with my daughters while we're in lockdown.
That's really great to hear! Send pictures if you do!
I think a shirt with "Chuffed dad" and your mandrake triplets on it is the right call.
Ohh my... You are literally my inspiration couch. Every time I watch your stuff, Im like "Oki doki, I'm standing up and going to do some cool stuff"
We’ve got channels like this highlighting their exceptional talent and hard work getting under 30k views and then we have channels with 5 minute videos speaking ill of people hitting 1 Mil. So sad. I subscribed. Your work is beautiful.
I never know what I'll get with a Miscast video but they are all wonderful.
Nice! Thank you for this tutorial!!! I love the mandrakes, too. And the garden gnomes. My granddaughter and I love to quote Jim Dale's Audible version of the gnomes yelling, "Get off me! Get off me!" lol
"Nothing looks more like dirt as dirt."
chuffed dad energy Miscast is best Miscast
I legit just come back to UA-cam for the weekly miscast video. Best channel
On UA-cam for sure
I feel like those plastic lizards and alligators have gone through whole character arcs over the course of your channel. They seem to make cameo appearances in every other video. Keep up the good work, man, I love your content.
To get your mandrakes to grow, you need to water them and make sure that their roots are deeply embedded in the terf.
Those are cracking sculpts, and the detail on the pots is really cool. I like how you used the sculpey to colour the pieces. Your joy with your creations is so infectious. 🤗
Everyone loves mandrakes!
These look awesome! I think for people who might be circumspect of using actual dirt, I recommend coarse grinding some coffee and adding some random bits of stuff in it. From up close it'll smell like coffee, but hey, it works!
The bit about the labels was very helpful
Oh my gosh, the scullery iii in the box takes me back. I used to spend hours upon hours stacked upon even more hours working with that stuff making all kinds of tiny figurines long before I ever found out that miniatures even existed. Good days.
I'm 10 seconds in and I am already engrossed and want to make my own!
I'm not interested in I'd say one third of the things you make, but your skill AND enthusiasm still makes me watch
So many small touches that really elevated these from 10 to 11. The fake plant weathering, the labels, the actual dirt. It's been amazing seeing your growth as a maker as much as a creator, Trent. Really well done.
Thanks so much Danny!
Wasn't expecting the turn into full scale props, but loved this video as always!
Not gonna comment on the mandrakes themselves, but man, the energy, the creativity, the emotion you bring in to your work… that is just inspiring! So yeah. Thank you is all that comes to mind. Oh and also, I want a mandrake for my greenhouse!!!
These are better then ALL the mandrakes I’ve seen for sale!
They are awesome little grumpy plants
🪴🪴🪴💜
I don't think I need any of these in my life, but I can see that you do (and they look great).
this is such a good wholesome creative space
So relaxing. I like. Pls do more of this. or just anything more random. Seeing you be happy about your creation makes me happy. Love
Why was this so inspiring???? I love these little guys! I'd love to see more little props like this!
I appreciate it, I'll see what I can do :)
These are so amazing. I love them. Such beautiful lil mandrake kiddos
They turned out so great!
I LOVE MANDRAKES AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU!, this is hell gnarly. really dig this type of content dude!
This has so inspired me to sculpt a nurgle demons army that's entirely full of mandrakes (as poxwalkers!) and other planty beasty things!
That's a really cool idea
there are only a few things in life that bring as much joy as creating an angry potato
Wow! Those look like I need a dozen of them and thank you insight on how take that shine out of the cheap plastic leaves. I will 100% be using that in the future.
Loved this prop making episode! I think it'd be cool to see you make your own weird interpretation of some kind of monstrous little fairy (or other strange creature!) in an apothecary jar.
I want to make my own!! Great video, pushing creativity in different directions. Plus this awesome morning shot with the sun rays and your hot coffee smoking was so beautiful.
I get so excited for these videos. Always a treat
I love how much detail and thought you put in!!
So wholesome!
Was not expecting a tutorial style video from you but am way into it. Nice!
Gaahhh I love these so much! They’re really excellent - well done my friend! I can just imagine one casually living between two real house plants 🪴
Thankyou Raquel!!!
Incredible! Love your whole vibe!
I absolutely love these! Don't know where they'd go in my flat, but I love them nonetheless
These make me very happy to see. Wonderful work here!
This is a really nice video! It's great to see you doing what you love and making a living with it. Beautiful stuff!
The mandrakes turned out so darn cute!! And, the improvised tool thing is genuinely good advice - As someone who has used diamond-patterned magic erasers to add texture to dollhouse dry-wall... I can attest that the most interesting textures come from the cheapest/weirdest techniques!
Inspiring stuff man. Great video!
Great job they are so cute!
Those are awesome Trent!
Really one of my favorite videos by one of my favorite channels! So much fun watching you and your work!
Damn you hit this one out of the park.
When people say super sculpey is easy to use though... stuff makes my hands cramp just from trying to soften it.
I guess I'm just a rare one.
It can depend on how new it is, if its been on the shelf a while before you bought it in can take a LOT of conditioning to make it soft. The last batch I bought was REALLY easy to work with, but the one before was not. I hear the cool kids use pasta rollers for this reason, I haven't found an old one while thrifting yet though.
Damn, I may have bought an older packet then because this stuff was really hard to condition. May also have to look out for a pasta roller while thrifting too. Cheers for the reply.
I'd love to see you roll for a random magic item from your tabletop game and then make a prop of it mate!
These are so cool, I'm definitely going to have to make some of my own
Love these mandrakes, just furthering my want to get into sculpting or any art at all really. Awesome content as always :)
Do it! Trent tricked me into buying some basic sculpting tools and I have found it as an amazing outlet for creative energy I didn't know existed.
Sad tater plants, love em!
Edit: you should totally do some large scale whimsical nurgling bookends
Fantastic little fellas Trent! I love the genuine warmth that suffuses all your work. Always a great, relaxing and entertaining watch.
This was genuinely really fun to watch! The content just keeps getting better and better! I was wondering, a venus fly trap sort of lamp would be really cool!
Your videos just always make me smile, i love the whole vibe of your channel, its great :)
Studson studios sent me and I am amazed by your talent, and your quirky humor is a great bonus, subscribed ::)
Let's goooo studson studios .
Nice .
I love this channel! It is so fascinating to watch your process, and the positive vibes you send out in each video leave nothing but smiles! Keep up the awesome work!
- Foster
Thank you Foster!
That was super cool mate
Love your enthusiasm ! Great work!
this is amazing, more prop videos please!
I'm chuffed for you and chuffed for me. I know that feeling, and when you finish a project and don't feel it. Enjoy the moment Trent.
Very cool. These look great.
These are looking great man!
Brilliant, thanks for sharing. 😍👏👏
Such a great idea and result! They look awesome indeed! :) Thank you!
Loved your mandrakes, but i just LOVE the way you have so much fun creating them!! THX for the vibes!!
SO AWSOME!
Loved this video! Truly enjoyed it from start to finish and learned how to cook up some dirt 😅
Wow they are really cool!!
These are so lovely!!
Your videos are such a big vibe, i love it
Thank you!!
This is so friggin good
Bro you are a super cool person, really like your personality, channel and art, very inspiring, keep at it!
As someone who just experienced this - be cautious when mixing Sculpey III or basic with Super / Sculpey Firm. III and basic Sculpey are a lower quality product. They're softer, cheaper and easier for people to knead if they have problems in their hands but it cracks VERY easily in the oven and pieces break more easily. Mixing them will make the clay far more prone to crack / fall apart in the oven. Which can be gotten around if you're watching for it, but something to be aware of. These came out great! I love the faces and the "weathering" on everything. So nice.
I just went by the sculpey instructions for mixing the clay, which says as long as the mix is thoroughly cooked and the exact temp it'll be ok but I don't have much experience. To colour the clays like I did in this case, I only used about a 1:12 ratio because the colour went a really long way! If if cracks over time I'll update here.
@@Miscast If it came out of the oven without cracking you're probably in the clear. :) It's just something to be aware of - nothing drastic. Like most things in hobby if it works, it works! If it doesn't, we find another way or do something else. If you need tiny claws, teeth, etc. I've found Apoxie (or you may have Milliput more handy) works better than Sculpey as well. You could stake a vampire with Apoxie and it wouldn't crack.
Those look amazing. I absolutely love them. Please make more. I love how beautifully grimy so many of the things you make come out.
ah man, now I want to sculpt again... great video, also you said Aluminium correctly.
lol, I was raised in a "tin-foil" household, so you nearly got that instead
@@Miscast lol me too, but we're pros now
I love them!!! they look so good
The tea from a teabag also makes good model dirt
Thanks .
I was going to ask about weed but you know .. no ..
These are awesome! Well done
I LOVE THE PLANTIE BOIS
love them!
These are so cool!
these are gnarly!!! love your work man!!! so good!!!
I always love watching your videos XD the vibe and passion I get here is really wholesome and I love that! and when you just start laughing thru your work process, it felt really relatable >w< love your videos!!
Maybe make lord of the rings props that would be epic
Super duper wonderful 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love them !
These are really great.
They look greaaat. Your videos always cheer me up : )
If you're going to do more props, I'd love to see your take on the Fiji Mermaid.
I've been meaning to make little mandrakes for so long and this just makes me even more motivated to actually do them. Absolutely loved this video and these funky little guys!
