"I don't do a lot of painting with washes..."
A different time, to be sure.
I came here to say this.
Me too 👍
A neat trick you can try is dripping superglue onto pva - the moisture causes the superglue to instantly start curing, which causes these creepy organic looking rivulets. I'd recommend doing a test on a puddle of pva before putting it on your eggs, but its a technique a lot of wargamers use for tyrannid eggs.
Will definitely try this.
Just made my first set of eggs sacs based off of your fantastic video. The hubby looked at me funny when he saw the pile of used dryer sheets, however, he ended up quite impressed by the final results. I ended up using cheap pearl beads from Hobby Lobby, the holes from the beads that showed through added a nice gruesome level of deteail.
Like many others, just recently found your video series and have been binge watching. Keep up the fantastic work/fun!
Bend a couple of pieces of fine wire and insert them into the beads' stringing holes; the eggs will look as though they're hatching, with little spiderling legs poking through.
Going back 7 years your channel has changed so much!
"Never really need to use a wash just dry brushin" - now gives everything a black wash
It's better to learn and change than be stubborn and refuse to do new things :)
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial very true
I'm loving how you take household items and simple techniques to create such realistic crafts. Especially when looking at your terrain pieces; it's not obvious what you've used. Awesome and effective. Your videos mate, are the standard.
Love the dryer sheet webs! think I'll try making eggs out of some small Q-tips...
This is brilliant. I’m making a spider army soon for Warhammer and it looks like this material would be more suited to gaming pieces than some of the other spider web materials I’ve seen on the market
Just found your channel. I don't paint or play RPG but find your content fascinating! I'm hooked
Dude you're a genius! I've been trying to make decent looking eggs and webs especially for months. Tried everything and this is perfect. They look perfect. Thanks and please more videos!
thanks :)
Wow. You've come SO far...been watching all your recent videos, just got back this far. WOW, it's so different!
Using this for my cocoons in Rangers of the Shadow Deep!
Loving going back through a catching up on all your videos. This one is very cool. It’s already been said, but yeah those balls are bean bag refills. I’ve never heard of the dryer inserts though. Definitely going looking for them.
I like the formica use. I often grab samples from the local hardware store from their free bins. Haven't used them yet....but I like the idea of using them as a base. Also....they give free flooring squares as well....great contour styles with various depth tiles.
I came back to this video as i was making Tyranid bases. Then it hit me, yeah..., this was when i subscribed to your channel...man how time flies 😁. Still a fantastic video mate 👍
Nice! Just tried this out with plant food I found in the garden and some torn bits of cotton wool! Waiting for the paint to dry so I give it a wash and put the 'web' on. Thanks!
I’ve been searching for those foam beads ever since a saw this video, about two years ago or so. I finally found them in a five dollar bag at Michael’s in the stuffing section. Now I can try this technique. Yay.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found a use for dryer sheets. I repurpose my used ones to make blankets and animal furs. The used dryer sheets have a completely different texture than fresh ones. Check it out.
+firehigh38 Awesome. Yea I knew they had to be good for something. So far I've only played around with the used ones since that made the most sense for this project but I'll probably try out some stuff with new ones too.
Cant believe how easy and fun this stuff is! i used glow in dark airsoft bbs, but proved to big for this. I did make another one alot larger using the clear red airsoft. That slimmy idea you had made them 10 times nastier and creepier looking :D Thanks for the vids!!
INCREDIBLY BRILLIANT. HAVE NOT MISSED ONE EPISODE!! KUDOS.
Just found your vids and have been binge watching them for ideas. Was just going to start a gloomspite gitz army focusing mainly on spider riders and arachnaroks so I'm hoping to try this technique out quite a bit!
I'd like to see some ice terrain, or maybe blood in ice, cause I've not really see anyone tackle environments outside of forests and dungeons, it be nice to see something different.
+MrClockworkable I agree, ICE terrain would be cool and not much out there in youtube land. Good suggestion.
Saw a dryer sheet on the ground in the laundry room... picked it up and saved it.. cool project!
nice
Your stuff is as always impressive!
Your barbarian player sounds like a ranger I had who just had to run around poking every grave in each grave yard of every town they visited!
+John Gunter Yea it is a running gag in my group, at least once per session our barbarian Sheena ends up with her face splattered in blood, guts, slime, acid, ect, ect....
Thanks for this one, great timing! I'm just about to take my group into an Ettercap enclave with a F-ton of spiders and all things webby. A combination of DM Scotty's 2.5D playable trees and your drier sheet web ideas are going to make for a very interesting encounter build.
Perfect!
nice vid thanks and the dryer sheet idea is awesome
Without the web, these would work excellent for kobold eggs, too. Great job, very inspiring.
+Bjolfr Good point!
Looks great! 2 comments. 1) Prime in white instead of black, then do the rest of your piece in black. It's much quicker than trying to paint white on black. 2) for washes - get yourself a 2 oz bottle of acrylic extender from Michael's or AC Moore for ~$3. Will last you for years and you can mix it with any color paint you want. I will be making these for a future game, but might need some bigger eggs than that
+Chris Manos Awesome tips. The prime in white thing seems obvious in retrospect.
I'll try to remember the extender next time I'm in michaels.
Thank you! I’ve been trying to think of a use for used dryer sheets. I think I’ve saved a bunch like 4 or 5 times only to throw them away because I can’t think of a anything. My first bough was camouflage webbing but that doesn’t fit with dnd, soooooo rhanks!
Great video! I liked what you did with both the eggs and the web.
Thank you :)
Keeps your spider eggs smelling like a fresh Mountain Breeze!👍🏞
I just made a bunch of spider egg terrain and they look so disgusting and cool! Thank you for this tutorial!
Hankerin's Vids sent me this way. Awesome seeing the Drunken's And Dragons T-Shirt..
Great Vids!
It's the ciiiiiiircle of life.
Great vid dude! Im doing my own dungeon here in Chile thx to u, dmscotty and wylochs :)
Awesome, glad to help!
That was awesome!!! Thank you!!!
Great vid man...more steve!
+Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass Steve is going to need to show some more initiative if he wants to get more screen time. I have a meeting with him and HR after lunch.
RSU's...he's not ready for a PIP
Love the idea to use dryer sheets
A new crafting material, dryer sheets. Great idea. Those spider eggs look creepy.
+Stronghold Crafter Kev Thanks Kev :)
Quick tip. Liquid dish soap will act as a flow aid. For the small amount of wash you made you can just add a tiny amount. Like the tip of a toothpick amount should do for that little puddle you had. Mix it in well and you'll find that should do the trick. Be sure to experiment with this as you'll need to find the right ratio of paint to water and dish soap. Try and use as color free dish soap brand as you can. Jet dry dishwasher rinse can also be used as well.
+ModDevelopers Thanks for the tip!
You've come a long way!
Such a good channel and video. You just earned a subscriber!
+Pootis Thanks, glad to have ya!
here's an idea. If you miss just a small...tiny amount of PVA on the styrene eggs, then they will melt down a little and look like hatched eggs. A brighter green and more nail varnish can be added to the corroded area to make them full of embryonic fluid.
+Terry Saunders
Totally!
Wow, that is very cool!
Thanks!
Amazing tutorial! This is something perfect for both terrain and markers for spell/abilities in game!
I do have a question though, I've found that Hob-e-tac stays tacky and sticky for ever, how do you fix that?
Does the modge-podge coverage help with that?
Excellent tip! I've been using hair spray for cobwebs in miniature-scale; and that looks fantastic...but, it's not exactly tabletop sturdy. This, however will be a great way to put webs on items that will actually survive gameplay. Thanks!
Yea there are a few ways to do more realistic looking mini webs, but they are all a bit to delicate for pieces of terrain...unless everyone at the table is very very careful :)
These older videos are really good
I found that dried up baby wipes behaves exactly like the dryer sheets, for anyone who doesn't have a dryer. Baby wipes are typically not that expensive, and you can dry them up, by just taking them out of their package and leave them in room temperature over night
Dope! Totally doing this!
+Bill Allan Look forward to seeing yours Bill :)
Uh, those small balls would also look great as canon balls :D But great video, they looked really good :D
Even in 2020 this is awesome!!!!
Great job!
Thanks!
Dryer sheet. Who'd of thought. Cool
Very cool!
Thanks!
Excellent idea. Thanks. =)
Maybe dry-brush a little fluorescent yellow or green onto the eggs; bathe your gaming surface in black light.
1 suggestion. I would like to see a few more close ups as you progress, specifically when painting the green. Really enjoy your projects.
I'll try to keep that in mind for future vids
About to try the webbing for my drider bases.
Blast from the past!!!!
diggin the dryer sheet thing, id like to try it on some ruins or something! this is really going to help with my giant trapdoor spider project!
+trenton maloney Thanks, yea I plan on using the dryer sheet on all sorts of things. Ruins, doors, tiles, anything.
thats awesome!
Thanks, I thought it was pretty cool :)
So nice to see a terrain guide for webs that doesn't include hot glue!
Yea, personally I would loose my mind trying to mess around with hot glue wisps for webs.
Innovative, looks great! Nice work kudos. I think those little balls are used to make fake "Baby's Breath" for floral displays.
Thanks!
Lost Aesthetic Could be beads for stuffing dolls and plushies.
Awesome-doing it! :D
+deadlyyellowrose Cool :)
Great idea with the dryer sheets. Guessing airsoft pellets or BBs could work in a pinch for the eggs.
+Cyntax3rr0r I actually think airsoft pellets would be easier to work with.
More Steve!!!!
Me: I'm hungry.
Dad: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
Me: 0:44
Hell yeah!
Thank you .
amazing!
Thanks :)
Very cool! You could use those eggs and make them into a pile of skulls very easily! I'm off to the Dollar Store to get some egg skulls ...lol. Really like the detail you use to explain your techniques, please keep them coming! Did you try just using white PVA glue for the webbing? I'm trying to not buy more glues if I can get away with it. I'm cheap, but at least I know my flaw:)
+General Ketchups D&D Crafting Videos Yea I found ova too not be nearly tacky enough for this application. You don't have to use the woodland scenics brand though, any dries clear tacky glue from the craft store will work, even if it's a cheap brand. Spray adhesive would also work I think.
If you are going to try different glues I'd do some test pieces first.
P.U.R.E. GENIUS!!
+Jerramie Miller Thank you :)
God I love the spider eggs so much! I have been enjoying your channel and hope you will take a look at mine. I will have crafting videos up too in the future. Thanks for all you bring to the craft and to the gaming community.
Thank you :)
In my box of stuff I have some tiny Halloween spiders to make a hatched version along with the original.
That's an awesome idea.
Good Job Man.
+Earnie Mercer (Dungeonstiles) Thank you sir!
Nice Terrain!!! Great Tutorial!!!! Could you do something with plastic Soda bottles!!!
+Nathaniel Garth hmmmmm...
Beanbag refills!
I bought the Dry sheet but I opened them and now that I want to use but them they are super dry and maybe they do not work anymore, I can recover their texture by moisturizing them? or will I have to make new ones?
If you use Mod Podge Mat Sealer in the end, will it not dull the nail varnish you put previously?
Slime beads or neckles beads with the holes hidden/plugged.
less confident in front of the camera, but the build was awesome even back then. going to use this for my Journeys in Middle Earth Shadowed path expansion.
BBs or Airsoft ammo should work great for this. Or even mix them so you have some size variation.
To make spider eggs, I take the balls of glue droppings from hot glue gun, pull some strings of hot glue across and around them and voila, I have webbed spider eggs. If want, can paint grayish images on the glue balls with “legs”. Then when cover in hot glue legs you will see faint images of baby spiders in them. But, I think will use a mixture of the laundry sheet and hot glue strings.
Ahahah freaking Steve!
Ok I have to ask, I've watched most of your videos but i haven't seen that big piece of rock with the glyphs on it behind your head made. Is there a video for that? What is it?
Totally cool. ^_^
an Iron Maiden/Torture Chamber? i have some ideas but its only 2 things (a rack and a maiden) and i think that would look a bit thin on the ground so to speak.....if you could come up with anything and show how to make it'd be amazing! (Great stuff on this vid, im off to harvest drier sheets lol)
+Edin Nuir All of a sudden crater husbands across the land decide to do all the household laundry!
I'll add some torture devices to the list :)
I've been looking for good webs. Brilliant! Thanks, experimenting later today!
Also, airsoft pellets are great for eggs, if you can't find styrofoam. Don't melt, lightweight, strong, and super cheap.
+geeksonthemoon That would be perfect. Also this dryer sheet web method could be used on all sorts of things :)
Watching in 2020, wow he looks so young.
This is kinda late, well two years late, but I think that you're Barbarian player and I myself are very similar.... My GM had the exact same reaction, as you did, while I was trying to figure out whether or not the completely normal bath sunken into the floor was a trap or not
You can also use cheap airsoft bbs from wal-mart or something for the eggs if you can't find the Styrofoam pellets.
+Crafter's Central That would probably be even better than the styrofoam actually.
+Black Magic Craft You wouldn't have to worry about coating them in PVA
I think they'd be easier to handle too. The styro balls are so light and staticy they are a bit annoying.
Question(Which I know is late but damn, you got me wanting to do everything), you said you spray painted it black...I thought it melted the foam to do that?
Ami Dark he coats it before he sprays, I think he mentions it when he's glueing the beads down
I know its been about a year. I'm Binge watching your videos. Love them by the way. I see you have some really cool stuff coming up cant wait to get there and thank you for taking the time to make these. I'm new and you may have started doing this already. A Materials list? Look I'm easy I don't want ounces or pounds and I know you give other suggestions along the way. which is really cool. I know some people are going to be like how many grams of sand do I use. we cant help those people they are who they are.
Glad you found the channel. I try to cover all the materials through out the videos.
I am trying to figure out how to make the appearance of fog. Any suggestions?
I think those beads may replacement filler for beanbags.
Airsoft ammo works well too
definately
Damnit Nat, I wanted first! dat tee shirt doe!
+Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass Confuse all the viewers. "What channel am I watching???!?!?"
who is this "PILLEEE PAOW"??
This made me laugh. I have a student who always loves to be the first one to comment on my videos. Glad to know it has happened to the best of us.
I used hot glue dropping for my eggs, they aren't evenly sized like the styrofoam balls, but they look great.
Not bad, not bad ! +1
pretty, pretty, pretty.....good.
Totally cool music who is it?
