I think the reason for your resin warping and cracking is that your UV light its way to strong curing the resin too fast. You can see it smoking which should not be happening. Maybe worth a try to get a weaker light and go slower
@@marshalltucker9690 does a stronger UV resin light affect the time taken? I'm not sure, if so that would definitely make sense as to why he didn't change to a weaker UV light
I don't know her name but that is what Nerdforge did. Her resin wasn't cooperating so she made it an underwater sea. It worked and didn't. She couldn't make the bubbles look intentional if I recall correctly.
I’m pretty sure The absolute master of 3D resin painting (Lillian Lee) goes WAY slower than this, with much thinner layers and slower curing times. A whole load more patience would probably fix all those problems with cracking, warping and bubbles.
Yeah! The key to resin painting is in the fine layers. That is what makes the piece really pop. Otherwise it is just a few flat layers suspended in a clear medium. It still looks great, but it doesn't fool your mind into thinking it is truly 3D.
Jessy as someone with 4+ years experience with resin, both UV and epoxy I can say this: DON'T use alcohol inks when working with resin. They can and WILL discolor over time. This is often seen with the purples turning a very ugly muddy brown or blues turning to a dull dead grass yellow. You even see it in your work as all your blues are fading away each time you cure. That's the effect of UV light + heat. Instead, use resin dyes, actual pigments designed for resin (be careful as some people have started marketing alc ink as dyes. Dyes droped in resin will stay as a glob, alc inks will sit on the surface and spread out). Alc inks are not designed for resin though some have branded them as such. Much like how you see people marketing freaking milk frothers as resin mixers... and all you get is something that has a motor not able to handle the thickness of the resin. Or people marketing uv nail lamps as resin curing machines... or those UV flashlights I also saw you using that are designed for blacklight fun and don't have the proper waive length needed to cure UV resin properly, yet they are often marketed as for such. You'll also note people who do the dioramas you have shown use epoxy resin (a.k.a your A:B resin, its the same thing), not UV resin. UV resin has a very diff markup and is designed for much smaller projects, not big stuff like this. The rapid curing generates a LOT of heat, far more then epoxy, thus why it was starting to crack. You never want to use UV resin for this kind of huge project, it just will not hold up. It'll get far too hot during curing and also may not even fully cure if its too tick or has the light blocked or isn't transparent enough. While epoxy resin takes longer, it wont get nearly as hot and is designed for bigger projects, especially if you look into the deep pour resins. They are designed to set slower to reduce the heat build up thus work better for deeper and bigger pours. We who use epoxy resin will also use a pressure pot so bubbles are a non issue. This isn't a vacume chamber, this is a pot that uses posative pressure around 40psi to compress any micro bubbles to nothing and force bigger ones to join up and raise to the surface. Thats how we get crystal clear finished peices.
I wondered about that. He did a colaberation for layered paintings. He outright said he didn't have much time and got pretty impatient. A whole other channel that does a ton with resin mostly uses epoxy (liquid and spray) and lets each layer set and cure at least 2days.
What a fun project! A couple of tips though: UV resin isn't meant to be poured that deeply, neither is traditional 2 part resin. With resin when you pour too deeply, your project will begin flash curing, and can even get up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit- at that point, it can release dangerous chemicals, so it shouldn't exceed the temp listed on the SDS for your resin of choice. Casting resin would be great for a project like this because it's meant for deep pours. That's the kind of stuff that flowers are preserved in. Generally you can pour another layer of casting after 3-4 hours. - Resin Artist

@@CampaignTerrain Thank you Cross! Yeah, I had a close call with mine. I also had to do some rescuing with UV resin. Hopefully will get better with each project :)
UV resin doesn’t respond well to deeper casts like this, nor the excessive heat that occurs when the layers cure on top of one another with the lamp. Try a casting resin to avoid the bubbles, cracks, and warping.
Not gonna lie, looked much cooler in the thumbnail. Also I was expecting Jazza to actually pull off something crazy like ACTUALY freezing fire with resin. But in retrospect, that was dumb of me to assume. I was at least expecting it glow like fire.
Same, I think it was also the thumbnail, as well as the title. The wording of the title makes you assume it’s real fire in resin, and the thumbnail has him holding up a lighter making you assume it even more…
He can make it glow. All he has to do is place a light either behind or under, and since it’s clear, it’ll shine right through. It only looks cooler in the thumbnail because that’s what he did.
I think he should put his creation into a box to cover the sides and back, and this box would have an array of colourful LEDs that flicker on / off in various patterns to give the illusion of an animated fire. It would also hide the layering visible from the side. Clearly (resin joke) … an awesome work!
Agreed. The thumbnail was clearly photoshopped to look more like flames, which is kinda super lame. This result is fine, but next to the thumbnail it’s lacklustre. I don’t know why Jazza would do that to himself.
With some of silly and/or experimental videos you make I sometimes forget how insanely talented you are. Whether it's painting, sculpting, or the videos you make you're just naturally frickin awesome at it.
To see how far uve come...into making a gaming company is insane, this guy who was sweating and working like hell in a tiny room dreaming of someday making it ... is actually closer to reaching it now... I mean really close... the real OG viewers who stick around since forever knows this.
When I have issues with resin I turn to the amazing resin videos of Evan and Katelyn. Usually I can figure out what went wrong through their various adventures of resin crafts.
THANK YOU for showing people safety is #1 when it comes to epoxy and resin! So many artists will do these videos in an office with no airflow or vents or any masks AT ALL! AND THEY END UP WITH CHEMICAL BURNED LUNGS!!! so THANK YOU for ALWAYS expressing SAFETY FIRST!!! EXCELLENT PROJECT! EXCELLENT CHARACTERS! EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! been watching a few years now and I am so happy I found you guys!
The good thing about resin is that you can inject the bubbles with more resin to fix them! *I would def recommend investing in a pressure pot though, which eliminates the possibility of the bubble plague altogether:D*
Always nice to see TTT things sneak their way onto the main channel -- if you're not subscribed to Tabletop Time and liked this video, you definitely should go do so (and watch the Tabletop Time Roleplay games).
Seeing the different layers from the side is actually kind of cool. It's almost like he's going through different comic book panels in 3D. How cool it looks from the front makes it totally worth it no matter how you may think of the side view. Personally, I really like it all. I think it's awesome.
I look at all this resin art and I’m just like “Hey that looks amazing! I wanna try something like that!” But then my motivation just dies two seconds after lmao
Jazza, multi-pour projects like this benefit from being done over MULTIPLE weeks. Perhaps a collaboration concept where each layer is a different artist on your team? Might really help you wait between layers if there is a REASON to wait days (and tiny details on individual layers is incredibly cool)
Its really cool to see your approach with these resin pieces using paint on the different levels and therefor creating those perspective effects. Most resin artists just colour the resin and try to use as few pours as possible to not get any visible lines
U should totally make a video showing off the best things youve made so far, so newer veiwers can see what videos they want to watch. It could also draw attention to specific videos aswell.
Please wear the respirator the whole time when using UV resin. It's also best to only use UV resin for small projects and epoxy for deeper pours to avoid cracking. Also please wear long sleeves, gloves and UV protection on your skin and eyes to stop skin damage. My partner has a PhD specialising in UV curing polymers and it's so important to only use when wearing a respirator if you can't use a fume hood 💕
It looks like it is supposed to be someone underwater near a volcanic thermal vent. Not standing in the burning remains of a city. If you make another one of these 3D epoxy pictures try using melamine boards instead of plexiglass so it doesn't warp on you.
My son had a bad habit of drawing everywhere. First he started vandalising his toys, then the newspapers and eventually the furniture. But when he drew on the walls I had to stop him. Because that's where I draw the line
Also btw, this piece is sooooooo cool. I love how the rock/boulder he on is like engulfed in the flames. It's like he's riding a rock out of an explosion, crazy cool
Love the design. If you ever try this again, I'd like to see if it would work in tube form, instead of box. Then gradually put each cured resin tube stage into a bigger tube that surrounds the previous layer, working from the model outwards. Then maybe you'll be able to get an awesome, flawless 360 degree scene.
Loved the vid as always Jazza, and it turned out great. I would love to see you try a resin poor where a gun goes off underwater. Maybe even incorporate bubbles for this effect. I don't know if it would even be possible, but it sure would look cool!😁
One of my favorite things with this channel is how Jessy tries out things with an artist but beginner approach to a specific technique, and then artists who are specialists in said technique give tons of tips and educate people further. You get a fun naive approach explained by Jessy, and then more detailed stuff in the comments if interested
One way you might try to mitigate all that cracking: Do all your work on a "hot table" where everything is preheated to 120 degrees F. While this seems counter intuitive, the higher temperatures will soften & anneal the plastic & relieve the stress between the layers. You will have to use thinner layers when pouring catalyzed resin. After you finish the piece, it should be baked (for a few days for something that thick, maybe longer, & slowly cooled). You can determine the level of stress by making a polariscope. Get a cheap pair of polarized sunglasses, remove the lenses & mount in a frame spaced apart so the object to be inspected can fit between them. Cross the lenses so with no object between, it is dark to transmitted light. Hole the object between the lenses while you shine diffused white light from behind the lower lens. You will see dazzling colors for the stress (test with clear molded plastic boxes to get the idea what the stress looks like. You will see the molding stress in the box because of the nonuniform cooling in the mold!) If project shows bad stress, stop & run an annealing cycle. Do experiments on scrap to see how hot you can get to just soften the material but not otherwise damage it. (My guess is on the order of 180F to 250F). The heat takes a LONG time to penetrate the work when it is thick. While it is hot you can test for stress. When it is gone you can start the cooling cycle (several days for 2" thick piece. For each doubling of thickness, you need to quadruple the time.)
This is so cool, I love the fire effect in the resin The character design is also awesome, it reminds me a lot of the main character from hob with the way the sword looks and the mechanical arm
I think the bubble is pretty cool.😂Makes it feel like he is trying to brake out of the resin . Like he is alive inside and shifted a little. Since he is an aggressive and wild character it kinda fits a story of him being impatient and tired of just standing there...... but that might be just me 😅
Jazza: "i am gonna be so happy with this, as a massive paper weight on my desk" Me: "ah Jazza, you're so obnoctious... but hay, at least you consistant"
I wouldn't use alcohol inks for tinting the resin... In my experience, Epoxy that has been colored with copic ink fades to grey and looses it's color after a few weeks/months. Some of the pigments they use sadly are just really not lightfast. And the quicker the resin cures, the more heat it releases, wich makes it more susceptible for warping and cracking. So to be sure, only use slow curing resin for thick pours. And maybe invest in a small vakuum chamber to degas the resin before pouring. That substantially reduces the amount of bubbles.
Lots of resin info to share with you BUT FIRST... Love love love your channels. Love the creativity, enthusiasm, and energy they bring. Keep them coming. Now onto the resin stuff. I'm sure you chose the uv resin for a time saving decision. I have on my channel as well. Just don't do deep layers with it. If it needs to be a deeper layer, go with a casting resin. Most have a degassing agent to help release the bubbles, but even then most will say to pour a little, torch and pour more. Bubbles trapped or on top of your resin. If it is clear resin where the bubbles are at, you can drill into the resin if it is further down. Clean out debris and repour a thin coat. If the bubbles are on top, simply open them up (large enough for the liquid to get in) remove debris and repour a thin layer. The resin should fill in almost invisible like. Even if you sanded the surface. Smoking. That is a red flag! If you see smoke, something is wrong. I saw it a few times when you were activating the Uv resin with the light. Either the light was too strong or the layer was too thick. My thinking is the layer was way too thick and created a heat reaction. Alcohol inks... I love them and I know you do to. Paint with them on top of resin but not to use to dye the resin. A lot (not all) alcohol inks will fade very quickly within resin and have experienced some fading within a few days. The acrylics was a great go to with the layers of paints. Even creating a glaze would help there too. I know a great company that sells quality resin colors in both tints and solids. Contact me and I'll send you their info. Didn't want to be an ad on your page here.
I love everything you do you inspired to be a artist again I’ve been thought a lot medically and mentally a lot of sadness but your art and joy of art has made me so happy 😁 your my favorite UA-camr , hope one day I can be a great artist like you one day
i’m amazed at how artists like jazza manage to put in so much dedication into one project, he has the determination to think through the project and FINISH IT while i can’t even survive thinking about the second step
On a molecular level, when UV resin cures and binds it happens incredibly fast, this creates heat, but it is not the heat that creates the warping. When they bind they also contracts. This is also why you'll hear from women who have gel nails made, which is a UV resin type, that it can burn on the nail bed. It doesn't have anything to do with the amount or the lamp, this is "just" how UV resin works. if you would like to avoid that, you need to not use UV resin for anything else than as a glue to attach other objects to be essentially invisible in a regular air cure resin.
Scrap reminds me of my sibling- she's small and cute, but she can absolutely wreck someone and create an impressive amount of chaos Reinforce your acrylic boxes with wood (for small ones) or metal (for large ones like this) rods glued to the outside to prevent bowing.
The tumbnail looks a LOT better than the real piece... Also this is one of the artworks that looks better from a few feet away (not to diminish the final product, it's fine, but I think you could do better) Have you tried placing it on a lightsource (preferably orange)?
Man I wish there was a resin pour 3d printer. I know how to animate, model, and vfx stuff. I just don't wanna spend days painting super small and mixing resin, BUT I feel like a harry potter style wizard with a custom colored cloak casting a spell at you would look doooope. You could resin pour the spell so it's floating in air
I had just commented about the fact you can 3D print resin, but then figured out you meant these painted layers 🤣 don’t mind me. But that WOULD be really neat.
Aside from the actual process being incredible challenging, the paint seems too watery and shapeless. If only there were more definition on the layers I think it would stand up more. When you put the figure in, the other layers kinda just disappear. Sure they give an atmosphere but they don't really bring anything interesting. Hope to see more of this resin content tho👏🏻
If you've ever watched jedrek29t, he does a thing where he uses pigment to draw smoke in resin as it sets. Also, he does a thing where he uses latex casts of his fingers and other things to make hollow areas in the resin. If you make a flame out of latex and remove it from the resin, then paint the hollow area before filling it with more resin, you might get a flame that looks good all the way through instead of having to build it in layers.
You also might be able to make a flame shape out of hot glue and then make a mold based on it, if you want to create a resin flame separately before adding it to your resin diorama. You'd probably want to fill the flame mold with a transparent orangey yellow and then add swirls of other fiery colors into it with a bit of semi opaque whitish yellow at the center of the base to conceal an LED light, preferably a flicker one.
@@aquabluerose7734 woah, you are jumping way past resin into wiring. I know it's not hard but Jazza will probably want to have a whole video of his first time using LEDs in his art.
Any air trapped in any of your models will bubble. Need a vacuum chamber to get all the resin in everything and to pull all bubbles to the top. Then flame it to pop the top bubbles. All resin creates heat, so time between layers is needed to cool the resin and cool the box.
its too dark and there are too many of the same colors, like yellow and orange and red. there should be more of a contrast in it, it would look way better. like if you make the surrounding on fire, you need characters color stand out more, so that they would not blend into each other.
I personally felt that the Boxes bowing effect actually ADDED to the overall look of the piece ... Sort of like a 'Happy little Accident' 😁that seemed to lend well, to what I imagined Scraps themselves were like, as a character. A bit rough around the edges, but with an inner strength and core, that nobody could deny ... But, it's not my artistic story to tell, and it DID look GREAT at the end ❤❤❤
Looking back at the games I played most and still do to this day are the type that encourages exploration and getting lost. Original tombraider, glider pro, and lately I have two favorites Zelda call of the wild, but my all time favorite game is The Long Dark. A truly open world in survival mode without the tedium of a plot or story to deal with.
Ideas on how to avoid mistakes! I'm not a professional but I've been messing around with uv resin for a bit now and I might have some ideas on how to avoid issues... 1. Sprits alcohol instead of flames!!! Alcohol will break the surface tension and help relieve bubbles. It would really help with the figure so you don't burn him or warp him. 2. You don't have to harden the layer to completion. As you cure uv resin, the resin doesn't stop curing after its hard. It will still keep curing as uv light hits it. The surface cures first and the inside will cure alittle slower. What I would do is cure layers for only alittle bit of time and then place another layer on top. Once you finish, do the full curing over the whole piece and I think it will cure in one unanimous piece
I think blasting it really closely with UV is warping the Resin to a big degree. Also resin tends to warp regardless. Think of it as ice then heat then ice then heat. Also you weren't vacuuming out the bubbles. Regardless, you did AMAZING.
Hearing all the things jazza does by plugging himself is awesome I love hearing him succeed. Been watching for literal years so I'm super excited to watch him dabble, dive, and grow as an artist and entrepreneur
You said something of the effect of it only looks cool from one angle. To fix that, what if you were to continuously dip something in resin and cure it after each dip? I think this would be time consuming but I think it would be worth it
Maybe what you can try do is create 3d fire models with the resin and place them in. That way you get an effect on all sides. And create beads with the resin to create the smoke and ash flying around.

UV resin doesn’t respond well to deeper casts like this, nor the excessive heat that occurs when the layers cure on top of one another with the lamp. Try a casting resin to avoid the bubbles, cracks, and warping.
Always love seeing my favorite creators getting shout outs
You definitely need to use the slow resin for the whole project though
Ahhh it turned out so awesome!!!
Not gonna lie, looked much cooler in the thumbnail. Also I was expecting Jazza to actually pull off something crazy like ACTUALY freezing fire with resin. But in retrospect, that was dumb of me to assume. I was at least expecting it glow like fire.
Same, I think it was also the thumbnail, as well as the title. The wording of the title makes you assume it’s real fire in resin, and the thumbnail has him holding up a lighter making you assume it even more…
He can make it glow. All he has to do is place a light either behind or under, and since it’s clear, it’ll shine right through. It only looks cooler in the thumbnail because that’s what he did.
Yeah he really got a tad clickbaity
I think he should put his creation into a box to cover the sides and back, and this box would have an array of colourful LEDs that flicker on / off in various patterns to give the illusion of an animated fire. It would also hide the layering visible from the side. Clearly (resin joke) … an awesome work!
Agreed. The thumbnail was clearly photoshopped to look more like flames, which is kinda super lame. This result is fine, but next to the thumbnail it’s lacklustre. I don’t know why Jazza would do that to himself.
With some of silly and/or experimental videos you make I sometimes forget how insanely talented you are. Whether it's painting, sculpting, or the videos you make you're just naturally frickin awesome at it.
To see how far uve come...into making a gaming company is insane, this guy who was sweating and working like hell in a tiny room dreaming of someday making it ... is actually closer to reaching it now... I mean really close... the real OG viewers who stick around since forever knows this.
I love that you leave in the problems and figuring them out. Really helps give me an idea of what I can do when it invariably happens to me.
When I have issues with resin I turn to the amazing resin videos of Evan and Katelyn. Usually I can figure out what went wrong through their various adventures of resin crafts.
Yeaaah, and I can't but notice they pace videos, at least somewhat.
THANK YOU for showing people safety is #1 when it comes to epoxy and resin!
So many artists will do these videos in an office with no airflow or vents or any masks AT ALL!
AND THEY END UP WITH CHEMICAL BURNED LUNGS!!!
so THANK YOU for ALWAYS expressing SAFETY FIRST!!!
EXCELLENT PROJECT! EXCELLENT CHARACTERS! EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!
been watching a few years now and I am so happy I found you guys!
The good thing about resin is that you can inject the bubbles with more resin to fix them!
*I would def recommend investing in a pressure pot though, which eliminates the possibility of the bubble plague altogether:D*
Always nice to see TTT things sneak their way onto the main channel -- if you're not subscribed to Tabletop Time and liked this video, you definitely should go do so (and watch the Tabletop Time Roleplay games).
Jazza: **blurs result in intro**
Also Jazza: **shows result in thumbnail**
a classic youtuber
and a clickbait title.
Seeing the different layers from the side is actually kind of cool. It's almost like he's going through different comic book panels in 3D. How cool it looks from the front makes it totally worth it no matter how you may think of the side view. Personally, I really like it all. I think it's awesome.
I look at all this resin art and I’m just like
“Hey that looks amazing! I wanna try something like that!”
But then my motivation just dies two seconds after lmao
you could do a small one
Jazza, multi-pour projects like this benefit from being done over MULTIPLE weeks. Perhaps a collaboration concept where each layer is a different artist on your team? Might really help you wait between layers if there is a REASON to wait days (and tiny details on individual layers is incredibly cool)
Not gonna lie mate, that kid looks like your son ;) also mega reveal! Lovely job!
Thanks Emil! You da man
Its really cool to see your approach with these resin pieces using paint on the different levels and therefor creating those perspective effects. Most resin artists just colour the resin and try to use as few pours as possible to not get any visible lines
U should totally make a video showing off the best things youve made so far, so newer veiwers can see what videos they want to watch. It could also draw attention to specific videos aswell.
Please wear the respirator the whole time when using UV resin. It's also best to only use UV resin for small projects and epoxy for deeper pours to avoid cracking. Also please wear long sleeves, gloves and UV protection on your skin and eyes to stop skin damage. My partner has a PhD specialising in UV curing polymers and it's so important to only use when wearing a respirator if you can't use a fume hood 💕
It looks like it is supposed to be someone underwater near a volcanic thermal vent. Not standing in the burning remains of a city. If you make another one of these 3D epoxy pictures try using melamine boards instead of plexiglass so it doesn't warp on you.
My son had a bad habit of drawing everywhere. First he started vandalising his toys, then the newspapers and eventually the furniture. But when he drew on the walls I had to stop him.
Because that's where I draw the line
Never heard of this trend, it's such a good idea. The piece came out so cool!!
I love these 3d resin things, they are so cool!
I think it wood be awesome to see jazza to turn his hand to wood turning, lathe and all.
You should set it on top of a light so the “flames” are lighting it from underneath
Jazza is extremely talented and creative. I’m always amazed by his unique ideas
I love Jazza's videos. Always interesting and amusing.
Also btw, this piece is sooooooo cool. I love how the rock/boulder he on is like engulfed in the flames. It's like he's riding a rock out of an explosion, crazy cool
I love resin videos it's such a unique art form!
Love the design. If you ever try this again, I'd like to see if it would work in tube form, instead of box. Then gradually put each cured resin tube stage into a bigger tube that surrounds the previous layer, working from the model outwards. Then maybe you'll be able to get an awesome, flawless 360 degree scene.
Loved the vid as always Jazza, and it turned out great. I would love to see you try a resin poor where a gun goes off underwater. Maybe even incorporate bubbles for this effect. I don't know if it would even be possible, but it sure would look cool!😁
Dude, i wish i could just see Jazza doing this videos in person. Must be really interesting and relaxing....
Hereally is one of the best people on this planet giving back and just making people happy
Dripping in isopropyl alcohol helps the resin release from the sides. This was a fun watch!
Hii love your art your my favourite artist I'm 12 and drawing and you help me learn more about art every day ❤️
Good job kid keep at it ur early into the game
@@philswiftreligioussect9619 I'll try to keep into the game ❤️🥰
Same but I’m 11, I actually have some art Timelapse’s on my channel. I use procreate
@@SCOP_ that's awesome
That's so sweet! Jazzas who got me into art too
One of my favorite things with this channel is how Jessy tries out things with an artist but beginner approach to a specific technique, and then artists who are specialists in said technique give tons of tips and educate people further. You get a fun naive approach explained by Jessy, and then more detailed stuff in the comments if interested
Would be cool to find a way to light it with a flickering light! Make the scene come to life even more!
One way you might try to mitigate all that cracking: Do all your work on a "hot table" where everything is preheated to 120 degrees F. While this seems counter intuitive, the higher temperatures will soften & anneal the plastic & relieve the stress between the layers. You will have to use thinner layers when pouring catalyzed resin. After you finish the piece, it should be baked (for a few days for something that thick, maybe longer, & slowly cooled).
You can determine the level of stress by making a polariscope. Get a cheap pair of polarized sunglasses, remove the lenses & mount in a frame spaced apart so the object to be inspected can fit between them. Cross the lenses so with no object between, it is dark to transmitted light. Hole the object between the lenses while you shine diffused white light from behind the lower lens. You will see dazzling colors for the stress (test with clear molded plastic boxes to get the idea what the stress looks like. You will see the molding stress in the box because of the nonuniform cooling in the mold!) If project shows bad stress, stop & run an annealing cycle. Do experiments on scrap to see how hot you can get to just soften the material but not otherwise damage it. (My guess is on the order of 180F to 250F). The heat takes a LONG time to penetrate the work when it is thick. While it is hot you can test for stress. When it is gone you can start the cooling cycle (several days for 2" thick piece. For each doubling of thickness, you need to quadruple the time.)
Nerdforge and jazza should colaborate at least once
I feel like nerdforge might strangle him for his lack of patience and rush it mentality.
This is so cool, I love the fire effect in the resin
The character design is also awesome, it reminds me a lot of the main character from hob with the way the sword looks and the mechanical arm
I think the bubble is pretty cool.😂Makes it feel like he is trying to brake out of the resin . Like he is alive inside and shifted a little. Since he is an aggressive and wild character it kinda fits a story of him being impatient and tired of just standing there...... but that might be just me 😅
Jazza: "i am gonna be so happy with this, as a massive paper weight on my desk"
Me: "ah Jazza, you're so obnoctious... but hay, at least you consistant"
I wouldn't use alcohol inks for tinting the resin...
In my experience, Epoxy that has been colored with copic ink fades to grey and looses it's color after a few weeks/months.
Some of the pigments they use sadly are just really not lightfast.
And the quicker the resin cures, the more heat it releases, wich makes it more susceptible for warping and cracking.
So to be sure, only use slow curing resin for thick pours.
And maybe invest in a small vakuum chamber to degas the resin before pouring. That substantially reduces the amount
of bubbles.
Lots of resin info to share with you BUT FIRST... Love love love your channels. Love the creativity, enthusiasm, and energy they bring. Keep them coming.
Now onto the resin stuff. I'm sure you chose the uv resin for a time saving decision. I have on my channel as well. Just don't do deep layers with it. If it needs to be a deeper layer, go with a casting resin. Most have a degassing agent to help release the bubbles, but even then most will say to pour a little, torch and pour more. Bubbles trapped or on top of your resin. If it is clear resin where the bubbles are at, you can drill into the resin if it is further down. Clean out debris and repour a thin coat. If the bubbles are on top, simply open them up (large enough for the liquid to get in) remove debris and repour a thin layer. The resin should fill in almost invisible like. Even if you sanded the surface. Smoking. That is a red flag! If you see smoke, something is wrong. I saw it a few times when you were activating the Uv resin with the light. Either the light was too strong or the layer was too thick. My thinking is the layer was way too thick and created a heat reaction. Alcohol inks... I love them and I know you do to. Paint with them on top of resin but not to use to dye the resin. A lot (not all) alcohol inks will fade very quickly within resin and have experienced some fading within a few days. The acrylics was a great go to with the layers of paints. Even creating a glaze would help there too. I know a great company that sells quality resin colors in both tints and solids. Contact me and I'll send you their info. Didn't want to be an ad on your page here.
I love everything you do you inspired to be a artist again I’ve been thought a lot medically and mentally a lot of sadness but your art and joy of art has made me so happy 😁 your my favorite UA-camr , hope one day I can be a great artist like you one day
OMG MAN!! THAT'S INSANE!!
Your videos is so calm and aesthetic that's what every one wants ♥️🥰💖🍓😍
Stop the 🧢
Para todo lo que eres
Congrats on 1st
i’m amazed at how artists like jazza manage to put in so much dedication into one project, he has the determination to think through the project and FINISH IT while i can’t even survive thinking about the second step
I love this type of art, it's so fucking crazy. Really great. Congratulations, youre channel is amazing!
On a molecular level, when UV resin cures and binds it happens incredibly fast, this creates heat, but it is not the heat that creates the warping. When they bind they also contracts. This is also why you'll hear from women who have gel nails made, which is a UV resin type, that it can burn on the nail bed. It doesn't have anything to do with the amount or the lamp, this is "just" how UV resin works. if you would like to avoid that, you need to not use UV resin for anything else than as a glue to attach other objects to be essentially invisible in a regular air cure resin.
Oh goddess... I really loved how the Majora's Mask Resin pour came out. I also loved if you could do some Zelda stuff in the future☺
Scrap reminds me of my sibling- she's small and cute, but she can absolutely wreck someone and create an impressive amount of chaos
Reinforce your acrylic boxes with wood (for small ones) or metal (for large ones like this) rods glued to the outside to prevent bowing.
Jazzas mind at all times"how can I use my giant industrial laser cutter"?
I love that you shared North of the Border Adam's work. He's so talented and snarkey
I adore him.
The tumbnail looks a LOT better than the real piece... Also this is one of the artworks that looks better from a few feet away (not to diminish the final product, it's fine, but I think you could do better)
Have you tried placing it on a lightsource (preferably orange)?
I'd have preferred to see this mad lad shaped into a sphere and polished to a gloss. Very cool art piece none the less
Man I wish there was a resin pour 3d printer. I know how to animate, model, and vfx stuff. I just don't wanna spend days painting super small and mixing resin, BUT I feel like a harry potter style wizard with a custom colored cloak casting a spell at you would look doooope. You could resin pour the spell so it's floating in air
I had just commented about the fact you can 3D print resin, but then figured out you meant these painted layers 🤣 don’t mind me. But that WOULD be really neat.
should do something with lights in it like that. like a cyberpunk resin painting... add the smallest LCD screens you can even.
Aside from the actual process being incredible challenging, the paint seems too watery and shapeless. If only there were more definition on the layers I think it would stand up more. When you put the figure in, the other layers kinda just disappear. Sure they give an atmosphere but they don't really bring anything interesting. Hope to see more of this resin content tho👏🏻
I think the cracks and bubbles give it more character. Looks cool as always Jazza
If you've ever watched jedrek29t, he does a thing where he uses pigment to draw smoke in resin as it sets. Also, he does a thing where he uses latex casts of his fingers and other things to make hollow areas in the resin. If you make a flame out of latex and remove it from the resin, then paint the hollow area before filling it with more resin, you might get a flame that looks good all the way through instead of having to build it in layers.
You also might be able to make a flame shape out of hot glue and then make a mold based on it, if you want to create a resin flame separately before adding it to your resin diorama. You'd probably want to fill the flame mold with a transparent orangey yellow and then add swirls of other fiery colors into it with a bit of semi opaque whitish yellow at the center of the base to conceal an LED light, preferably a flicker one.
@@aquabluerose7734 woah, you are jumping way past resin into wiring. I know it's not hard but Jazza will probably want to have a whole video of his first time using LEDs in his art.
Any air trapped in any of your models will bubble. Need a vacuum chamber to get all the resin in everything and to pull all bubbles to the top. Then flame it to pop the top bubbles. All resin creates heat, so time between layers is needed to cool the resin and cool the box.
its too dark and there are too many of the same colors, like yellow and orange and red. there should be more of a contrast in it, it would look way better. like if you make the surrounding on fire, you need characters color stand out more, so that they would not blend into each other.
If i get to half where you are in life,i will count myself lucky, you've inspired me,so thankyou
Congratulations, you found and read this comment among hundreds of others. Here is the cookie for you: 🍪
Yay
Yay(takes cookie) 🫱🍪 (eats cookie) 🫦🍪 (enjoys cookie) 😻😻😻
Ben’s Worx does a lot of experiments with resin, potentially worth checking out!
He uses two different types of pots to get a super clear set
I personally felt that the Boxes bowing effect actually ADDED to the overall look of the piece ... Sort of like a 'Happy little Accident' 😁that seemed to lend well, to what I imagined Scraps themselves were like, as a character. A bit rough around the edges, but with an inner strength and core, that nobody could deny ... But, it's not my artistic story to tell, and it DID look GREAT at the end ❤❤❤
Imagine putting it on a lightsource or installing tiny LEDs inside of it to make the fire really light up! Love your artwork!
I’m so amazed how it turned out
You should drill an LED up in there to light up the fire!
put a flat light at the bottom, preferably with an orange tint
Awesome result!
Some resin tips: try a PP mold and using a vacuum chamber with AB slow curing resin.
Looking back at the games I played most and still do to this day are the type that encourages exploration and getting lost. Original tombraider, glider pro, and lately I have two favorites Zelda call of the wild, but my all time favorite game is The Long Dark. A truly open world in survival mode without the tedium of a plot or story to deal with.
Ideas on how to avoid mistakes! I'm not a professional but I've been messing around with uv resin for a bit now and I might have some ideas on how to avoid issues...
1. Sprits alcohol instead of flames!!! Alcohol will break the surface tension and help relieve bubbles. It would really help with the figure so you don't burn him or warp him.
2. You don't have to harden the layer to completion. As you cure uv resin, the resin doesn't stop curing after its hard. It will still keep curing as uv light hits it. The surface cures first and the inside will cure alittle slower. What I would do is cure layers for only alittle bit of time and then place another layer on top. Once you finish, do the full curing over the whole piece and I think it will cure in one unanimous piece
Jazza is such an inspiration🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sure looks cool, and I love the design of Scrap, he really looks like a video game character
I think blasting it really closely with UV is warping the Resin to a big degree. Also resin tends to warp regardless. Think of it as ice then heat then ice then heat. Also you weren't vacuuming out the bubbles. Regardless, you did AMAZING.
Thank God, I was just looking for some new content by you. Awesome timing as always bro!
Already watched the whole thing, loved it
Hearing all the things jazza does by plugging himself is awesome I love hearing him succeed. Been watching for literal years so I'm super excited to watch him dabble, dive, and grow as an artist and entrepreneur
I wish to see Bobby Duke and jazz together. How chaotic and fun will be.
It's so great to see you start all these projects! Tabletop, minis, and now games?! No limits!
You said something of the effect of it only looks cool from one angle. To fix that, what if you were to continuously dip something in resin and cure it after each dip? I think this would be time consuming but I think it would be worth it
Love the fact you are still showing of your designs! Awesome video!
It would've been so cool if he added some gold flakes as embers to catch the light as the model moves. Awesome piece!
Maybe what you can try do is create 3d fire models with the resin and place them in. That way you get an effect on all sides. And create beads with the resin to create the smoke and ash flying around.
Looks great though.
