“It is really wonderful how much resilience there is in human nature. Let any obstructing cause, no matter what, be removed in any way, even by death, and we fly back to first principles of hope and enjoyment.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula
its a weird question but imma ask it cause there is a small chance it could happen. we live in the same city and my highscool put on a production of dracula that became kinda popular this year and there might be a chance that you seen it. idk im taking a complete shot in the dark here but im wondering if you maybe got the chance to see it? you look like you like the bram stoker story
@@KashMcMann I did not, but I wish I had!
Black Magic Craft thanks for the reply. And It would’ve been cool to recognize a audience member that isn’t family. Now that I know you seen this I just wanna say thanks for getting me into crafting!
nice build. I was thinking bloody footprints would have made it really pop. try gluing doner feet to a cue tip jig and "paint" the footprints
That's one of your best pieces yet! Awesome. 😉🤘
Pure joy- I love it. Great call with the green :-)
That green makes me wish you made an ultimate Castle Grayskull.
That was the inspiration!
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial A Green Castle Grayskull like project seems like a logically next move, or maybe a Vampire tomb?
Castle Greyskull build needed now!

Continue making some regular "self care" builds. Looking forward to the next one! ^^
[ I think it makes a huge difference when youtubers indulge a little in their crafts. ]
the green looks really good, almost like an old Frazetta illustration.
That tiniest bit of q-tip cotton made all the difference.. well done
Devil's in the details, lovely. 😈
That was my thought as well. The spider webbing sells it as a poorly swept location, perhaps in a deep basement or an abandoned castle deep in Wallachia.
Bela Lugosi to Dwight Fry:
"The spider, spinning his veb for the unwary fly...The blood is the life, Mr. Rrrenfield."
That was fantastic! The green looks so cool. You have given me an itch to build a diorama!
Please do a Frankenstein lab diorama! I really want to make one in honor of my dad
The green was a great choice! Good on ya for self care. You and your family Stay healthy.
What I love most about your vids is that you highlight what didn't work and what mistakes you made, and those highlights don't send a message of "Don't make the same mistakes I did", but "Even a flawed piece can still look great."
"It's good enough for me, and that's all that counts"
Best thing I've heard you say! More people need to understand that. Whatever you do as a hobby the important thing is to be happy and have fun. Trying to impress others will cause you to not enjoy yourself as much. Unless you are doing something for someone else then nobody's opinion matters. Yes, it's great to hear someone say good job but what matters most is if you are happy.
No matter how easy anyone can make something look, not everyone can do it.
Most "rivet counters" I've ever encountered don't do much. They seem to enjoy telling others what they done wrong than actually doing something themselves.
That's one of the things I like about your channel here. You have no problems pointing out your screwups and what you do to either correct it or make it work somehow.
Sidenote... Sorry for the long post. With the "quarantine" going on there's not much to do.
The people who criticize the work of others and point out the "flaws" are generally just projecting their own shortcomings and insecurities.
Oh when Scott sees this!
Hee Hee Hee
That will be a lot of
MOISTURE
Just came over from watching Nosferatu. Oh the irony 😸 My night is full of vampires 😍 totally not complaining 😉
Sounds like a great way to spend an evening!
Green stone definitely looked cool in contrast to the blood. Also that spider web was awesome.
this diorama looks so cool! the choice of green for the stone was definitely a risky move, but on that payed off well in the end as that gave the whole thing a really neat atmosphere. going to have to remember to try changing up stone colors in my own builds in the future!
Now I want to find a way to do the same thing, but purple......snake mountain?
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial My experience has been that purple only really works well on scenery if it's mainly lit using UV. Something like a dark cave interior or the like with UV LEDs hidden out of sight behind stalagmites maybe.
I think this is my favorite thing you've made recently. Green was a great choice.
This is awesome! The only thing that sparkles with this vampire is your talent.
Baller, I really like the use of the cotton from the Q-tip to make a spider web effect as well as all the little details you put into this.
Keep up the amazing work Jeremy.
By the way I really like the Nosferatu theme.
Hey Jeremy! I love your videos and how you craft your terrain. Your terrain has an insane amount of detail and I like that! I’m 11 years old, and I’ve started taking up D&D myself! Yourself and a few other crafters have inspired me to make D&D videos on my channel. I loved the video by the way! Have a safe week!
Green ink for the stones was the way to go!!! Excellent choice!!
Man that is absolutely sick. I love that you just did something for you. It's not "useful", per se, but its function is to make you happy, so it's one of the more important projects you've done. Thank you!

"Some people will argue it's not a amazing paintjob, and it's not, but it's good enough for me and that's what counts."
Seriously, this needs to be repeated over and over again.
Kyrkby so so true. I used to beat myself up over my own work. Turns out I hated it more when I tried to work to others standards. Now I’m no where near as good as the vast majority of this community but I’m happy with it and damn if that is all that matters to me.
Doing little projects for yourself is always a good idea. It helps respark joy. I get caught up in painting minis and terrain for games and sometimes forget the whole reason I got into painting was for fun and relaxation. The other day I decided to stop painting for games for a while and I wanted to make a cyber punk mini diorama as I only ever paint pirates or fantasy. I searched UA-cam for cyberpunk inspiration and realised I missed a video of yours and it so happened to be cyberpunk! Love it.
I think you struck the right balance between a fun project that is also effective. I had fun watching you have fun. Subject matter is not that important ... I just enjoy seeing how other artists do their work, start to finish. You can never tell when a project YOU'RE working on can furnish a usable technique for someone else on something entirely different. I think your addition of ye green was a great idea, giving the stonework a creepy, nastily "moist", dank, & mossy/mouldy look ... It's much more striking than pristine stonework would have been. It's details and thinking like that which I admire. Nice job!
So much Nosferatu vibes! I always loved Dracula, this is so cool!
Hey dude! Honestly just seeing your videos every once in a while makes Quarantine, INSANELY much more bearable. Keep up the good work!
Great vid Jeremy and great message. Good on you making something just for you that you wanted to do for yourself. Awesome stuff.🙂
What a great display. Love the bits of dripped blood on the stone leading out of the dark corners.
The narrow and claustrophobic nature of the diorama fits perfectly with the Nosferatu style vampire. That movie was so claustrophobic in some shots. Very cool. Makes me want to do something similar.
OHHH, I like that. That gives me an idea what to do with my miniature of Strahd von Zarovich.
I think this may be my favorite build of all i've watched you do. Love the green stone!
Paint looks pretty darn good to my eye. Always amazing work.
Excellent diorama and figure. Graf Orlok was, and always will be, an achingly cool character. Nice one. I have a space shuttle, and a Titanic to build for my six year old nephew. That's my spare time, and I'm looking forwards to it. Don't often get time to build stuff, but nowadays...
Thanks for your videos. Stay safe, man. Stay safe.
I know you wanted to use the cylinder, but I’ve recently seen a great method for making spiral stairs, by Crooked Staff terrain IIRC. Basically you make a stack of single steps plus round part for the column, and stack them on each other. Super quick and very effective!
That is the coolest damn diorama, ever! Also that's a nicely painted mini, nuts to anyone who says otherwise. The build is obviously the star of thr show here 😁
Well done on that green ink wash over the stone. Abandoned castles in Europe can actually look like that, especially in Ireland where I (and Bram Stoker!) come from. Contrasts deliciously with the red clothing of your vampire!
I really dig the green tint to the walls. Makes me really think about some new projects.
Can't go wrong with green ink. So much more interesting than just regular gray stone.
I would love to see a series of these narrow, almost snap shot dioramas. It would be awesome to see your take on all of the old universal monsters. Wolf-man, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein...it would be a cool series
The production on your videos is amazing. I've been watching the evolution for a while. Great work man, congratulations on creating something amazing and thanks for making cool videos for us to watch.
Hey there Mr. Jeremy. I wanted to say that I've been watching your channel pretty much since the beginning, and this build is perhaps the most atmospheric and cool one I've seen you do yet. I love it! Agree that the green toned stone was a great idea. Thanks, and cheers!
Thanks man
An excellent and atmospheric piece. The green stone really was a great choice.
Dracula is my favorite book I'm glad you're branching out
Awesome contrast with the green stonework! Hope your wife is doing ok with her job! My hub decided to take a couple weeks of leave to try to get some temporary distance. Thanks for continuing to entertain us out in the quarantined world!
ok the vampire is pretty. just hit a vampire kickstarter yesterday.
The historic Nosferatu look is amazing
A taller one of these would look fantastic as a bookshelf insert between some vampire themed books!
You do amazing work and show mistakes something many others dont do. This lets us know that someone who has done this for years and builds full scale miniature houses as a profession can still make regular mistakes and learn from them.
I would love a video just as a tour of all the things you have made behind you. If you have videos of what you made you can link them maybe some of us will watch dozens of your videos and make a village inspired by you while we are trapped.
Just go through my channel videos, the full episode playslist. There is a video for almost every item you see in the background. I don't really build things that aren't for a video.
The more you do diorama, the more I like this channel!
At first I thought the green paint was too much, but it turned out GREAT! Definitely going to try this myself!
Love revisiting your older content. It’s neat to see how you’ve grown in different areas and adapted different methods as you try things over time. Your curiosity and willingness to experiment have always been a great motivation as I tend to freeze up with analysis paralysis trying to determine the ‘right’ way forward on a project. It’s always great to remember there are multiple ways of going about things. :)
Your dioramas are often my favourite projects, and having a smaller scope/size on this one really is a great way to enjoy a shorter project that can wonderfully frame/highlight even a single figure - giving them story and context. I will try to do something like this over the holidays to shift myself from thinking about the hobby to the actual doing of it. 😅
Happy holidays folks! 💜
What an excellent, fun build.👍 Some really clever techniques in there but you make it look very achievable, almost simple. Using the various parts of the same cylinder was a great idea and looks very effective in the end result.👌
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
The end result is great mate the green walls make the whole thing pop.
I love the way it's more about art than just gaming.
This was awesome. Thanks again Jeremy! Your videos help our survival & sanity more than u know.
Wasn't sure about the green, but the overall effect pulls it all together, nice job !
A fabulous idea, well executed, It would be interesting with either an LED backed window or as someone else mentioned a UV plastic in the window and some hidden UV LEDs in the column to 'light' the window up and pop the blood a bit :-) Great work!
I was just watching Puffin Forrest's latest Curse of Strahd video when you upload this
I was literally like "Strahd video during dinner, build video during desert."
That spiral staircase was the perfect occasion to use a mirror placed between the column and the wall, to give the illusion of symmetry to the landing and blood pool.
That would have been pretty neat.
Loved this video - fun, and deceptively simple with the curved walls. Adore the green wash and spider webb. Fab to watch, thank you :-)
This is in my opinion the best work i've seen in a long time, simple, beautiful and terryfing for everyone meet this pale Sir staring at them like: ahh finally dinner as come!
finding the time isn't the problem, it's finding materials. we're all hanging in there. great project!
My kingdom for some free time....I’ll trade you some material.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial I have gratitude for your generous offer. I'll hang in there until I can get some materials. hopefully, by 2021, I'll work on all those dungeons tiles I've been meaning to make! keep rolling those dice!
This was probably one of my favorite builds of late. I havent done much tabletop crafting lately, but now i want to start again. We just cant play dnd due to lock down
I’m going to be doing this exact scene + a little section of Nosferatu’s/ Count Orlok’s basement for a 1/6 scale figure I preordered so it’s really cool to see it done scaled down to miniature size. Also plan to start making diorama bases for all of the 1/6 scale figures I’m collecting and this channel has been so hopeful for so much even though we’re working on different scales. Love everything you do.
Love this video. I have watched it 5 times. You are one of the few people who can do stairs to the proper scale. I was thinking on doing a similer type of diorama with the Reaper vampire and victim.
Great video. For a twist campaign make that vamp the good guy that hires the party to put down rouge vamps.
I have also found that Vallejos Air Colour range is very easily removable when you paint over it unless you really give it time to dry completely (it takes longer than you think!). I don't know how long it was between painting and washing for you, but I've found that letting it dry for at least an hour or so is usually enough (which is why all Vallejo artists are big fans of their hairdryers I suppose!).
Really love the diorama though! I've had it in my mind to make something similar for a very long time! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Nice work. Love the idea. Might use elements of it to display Scott's "Duchess"
That’s the vampire dio I really want to do. But not ready to paint her. Too nervous 😬
Black Magic Craft it’s my first 75mm model, it’s kinda like painting a bunch of 28mm minis with robes or large cloaks, does take more than a single two hour session tho
My favorite build of yours in a while! Awesome!
Holy crap that's awesome. Love the contrasting colours
That greenish stonework reminds me of Castle Greyskull :)
So cool,do a werewolf next . Love all your videos.
Or a Frankenstein flesh golem
I've always been more of a Frankensteins monster guy than a werewolf guy. Hmmm......
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial I am a werevamp fan.
From the other crafting brother... I love the way you problem solve while trying new techniques! This is something I like to do as well, great video, thanks👍
Man, I love seeing you build dioramas
It feels like this is a place where you put all the techniques you teach us in practice
Great job Jeremy. I really love the green tint.
Complimenti, un piccolo diaroma molto bello! Congrats, a really beautifull little diorama.
That nested semi-circle inset is a great idea, the radial curve creating that imaginary corner to the flat wall in the back. Makes me think about putting flicker LEDs in there to cast a backlight, or do something transparent with the window? Like in the recent Cyberpunk build.
I was hoping you might have a little bit of moon light coming in through the window! But honestly, it’s so good. Simple and effective! Bravo! 👌🏻
I wanted to but the size and shape made it too awkward to do easily and I’m not that confident with my lighting effect painting.
These diorama builds are some of your best work - as someone without a gaming group (it's about painting the models for me - so if you need some painted happy to help), dioramas are a great way to app,y all the the techniques you demonstrate so well. (trying to figure out a good way to use the sci-fi door template you put up in a diorama as opposed to it just being "background")
Awesome! I'd love to see more of these mini dioramas.
Man, the green castle turned out great!
Love the quote at the beginning.
I love how the green ink worked over the grey stone and the spider web.
Finally decided to check Shifting Lands after the video and noticed they have a Jig for stairs like this, but as I have a Laser engraver / cutter, I will be sticking closer to your method if I give this a go.
That's a really cool mini and a pretty nice paint job imo.
Thanks 👍
You made me even more excited to try experimenting with my mini dioramas for my new kobolds I'll be getting. I love the spiderweb technique, and may even use that!!
That was great. Would definitely enjoy more gothic horror content like vampires, werewolves etc.
Wait....should I make a whole set of these?
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial well, I definitely wouldn't complain.
And now I got reminded of my party in a Ravenloft session getting ambushed by a pack of werewolves, everybody screwing up their fear checks and passing out, resulting in every single one of our hosts at the farm we were staying at getting killed.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial YES! Make the whole set of our... I mean your horror dreams... or should I say NIGHTMARES!!!
looking awesome , loving the green brickwork
That looks fantastic!
Ooooh! This is nice! I'm gonna try to make a 1/12 scale version of it!
Now a whole castle around that diorama!
Cool project - would make a hell'a good bookend.
This is a fantastic build and it looks brilliant!
Love the green ink! Great color choice!
The green looks awesome, it reminds me of castle grayskull
Dude this piece is amazing!
Haha! Made some custom robot models with bits and pieces and a lot of paper soaked in superglue. At one point, my eye lashes clung together because of the vapours!! Not good.
Great video, thanks for sharing. 😁
Bravo, Maestro!
Love the contrast, dude, that red and green are excellent.
If you ever add to this diorama (wink-wink-Classic wolfman or creature from the Black Lagoon), it would be cool to see lightning flash in that window.
I would love to see more dioramas! 😊
Jeremy, have you looked into creating a diorama "book nook"? It's basically a little diorama that fits on your bookshelf between books. Something to match the height of some of the GM books would be cool.
Yea, I’ve been thinking about it actually.
Absolutely stunning work!
This was thrilling to watch. Thanks Jeremy for making the video of your creation process for us. That spider web is such a great touch. It's such a simple thing, but the idea of doing it, and then implementing it has a great affect on how this looks over all (The blood too). When you are making these, well this piece anyway, do you plan the entire thing out first, or do you get a general idea, and then as you work, see opportunities for something cool, and then add them then? I have seen that sometimes you do use references like photos or sketches, but how often would you say it's inspiration from the fun of doing this, versus planning? What do you think has given you some of your best ideas for materials or new techniques? Thank you.
I think about things a bit ahead of time, conceptualize and brainstorm, but almost never plan. This wasn’t going to be anything like this when I cut that cylinder. My idea was stairs going up to a landing with a door when I first started cutting.
