This video’s purpose is mostly just me trying to build up my Nest Egg world building a bit more. It’s not as polished as I’d like, but I really just wanted to start bouncing some ideas about what kind of items would be stored in the vaults- and to practise my character design a little more!✨
I'm honestly very curious as to what had been omitted during the interview by the Chessmaster & I kind of get the feeling that the last rule had something to do with how the demon had reacted, because it would be technically cheating if the board was locked up.😅
Absolutely love the image this conjures of our poor little thief slaving away writing these logs. The world you've built here is really amazing I love it
Oh this is so cool! The sort of “case file” format of the video, giving us details about client interviews, who knows about the deposit, and the vault design really make it feel like a mystery is right at our finger tips. When I first heard the premise of the story, I assumed it’d be more like a workplace shenanigans type set up, but this opens so many more possibilities! I definetly think the chessmaster is hiding something, maybe he’s being blackmailed? Either way I’m definetly intrigued and excited to find out
The idea of an entire kingdom based around a cursed chess board is so goddamn cool, I love this concept and it could very easily be turned into an animated fantasy series of sorts. *5:55* That imagery of the demon rising up from the chess board is so raw! Amazing artworks too, you're really talented in both the storytelling, wordbuilding and the drawing departments.
It sounds like the current chess master might have cheated to win his game, perhaps that’s the cause the demons agitation? UA-cam randomly sent one of your videos into my recommended but I’m so glad they did, your creativity is insane!
Sweet little addition to the nest egg, love the detail and descriptions about the current chess master and the hint about them stating it shouldn't invoke the wrath of the demon, them being quite calm in a familiar environment and then the opposite occurring not too long after is really neat
Bird and chess symbology = amazing _!!_ I love your the building of your world, it look cozy at first but have an darkness lurking that goes terrifying the more you look.
aaaaaaa this is SO COOL!! The security footage?! The outfit design?! I LOVED this one. The Nest Egg is so well thought out and cool and I think this video is my new favorite in the series
At first I thought the Chess Master didn’t want to be usurped by another upcoming successor, which is still probably it. But now I’m thinking he cheated to win, and he has to get rid of the board so he doesn’t get killed by the demon
Technically just locking up the board could be considered cheating, with no one being able to be able to challenge The Chessmaster if the board was in a hidden location & far away from the Island that it originally came from it might've provoked the demon.😅
Listening to your world-building has been a delight as scrumptious as your concept art! I do wonder if the entity in the board needs to feed or is just trying to get back to its nation so that the games can continue. Either way, that little penguin's got it coming! I'll be eagerly waiting for what's next!!
This is fascinating worldbuilding! I'm curious about which birds represent the different chess pieces. I know the King is a Kingfisher and the Rook is a Rook (lol)
I imagine this as SCP mixed with night at the museum . Your building eats so good and i hope we get more inisght on maybe like cleaners and upkeepers, gardeners or just small roles in the egg! plz dont die yet your world building is to good
This is cool- this is SO COOL. Small details like the sound of pages flipping at each transition- it's like listening to the logs/reports as someone sketches these fascinating explorations. Were learning together with (what I assume is) the thief!
This was such a cool video, I love the presentation and all the illustrations in it! The whole SCP but ghibli vibes this entry gave me are amazing. Please keep posting more 🙏
I absolutely LOVE LOVE your in progress universe! Your art style is amazing and your talent is so goood!!!! It’s so creative🥹😭😭 I’m kinda invested in this story rn, the current chessmaster must’ve done something that angered the chess demon and maybe the locking the chess board away so no one can challenge him is an excuse but a plus! This is my theory rn! Maybe I’m wrong tho, the lore dumping fried my brain a little bit so my understanding of your world is a bit fuzzy lmao
I might misinterpreted, but the Guidebook seems like a part of the chess set and shares the curse and demon with it. So "no cheating" might be a warning to the current Chess Master from the collective coinscience of old masters represented by a crow demon. By their actions (bringing the set to the Nest Egg) the Chess Master is trying to cheat the third rule. ///// Thank you for sharing your creative process! I really loved this piece of worldbuilding, this story! It's charming and poses an interesting mystery. And the design details are just - muah! (chef's kiss)
It’s awesome to see what the vault actually stores! Cursed items galore. Love the almost, magical SCP vibes (not to equate your work to another’s, part of the reason I like your work so much is it’s originality). Even better that it is its own open-ended story and builds up the world outside the Nest-Egg!
you should have a creature or item or something that takes inspiration from medusa, cuz i think medusa has a really interesting design and has cool abilities.
The Nest Egg both feels rich enough to want to explore through it while equally primed for both interwoven and free standing stories. Edit- I hesitate to mention scp because it often kind of gets used as a backhanded comparison but I really love the range of storytelling built around a central theme and I see that potential in this. The sturgeon series from Dusklight radio also comes to mind, which the (main) author is actually running a tabletop game in universe. Both are horror but this also gives me studio ghibli vibes where it could easily be horrifying moments in the whimsical. Did not mean to write a paragraph but art, fantasy and audio stories are all big loves of mine.
This is so cool!!! I think this world would be good for a comic or show series cause of the world building and character designs. Though, that's just me wanting to know everything about this world lol.
Wow I absolutely love the world building for this project it so cool and interesting. I love how ur drawing like have this cool vibe to it that matches the story. I really hope this can be made into a game or some type of visual book!
1:31 Okay so I just took my appointment piece and played it off the board on my side. Suddenly it appeared back in the place it started which happened to be the place another piece was. Now they have become one. This bored looks nice but it's hard to play with.
I love all your videos! I've been inspired by your storytelling as you create your characters and environment. Although I have little talent in storytelling and 3D blender, hearing you tell your story gives me the strength to try
Couldn't you have someone make the first move and then move to a far away country out of reach of the board, preventing the game from ever being finished?

The change in quality goes unnoticed! Just as intriguing and beautiful as ever! I love the design of the Chess Master.

Got to get those work hours in!🙌✨
That was a whole dangerous SCP turn at the end, well done!
It was an SCP from the very start

Haha thanks! The project’s in really early stages at the moment, but I love sharing little bits of progress and exploration like this!🙌✨

You’re worldbuliding and character design skills are nothing but _egg-cellent._
Your world-building is incredible. This gave me goosebumps. 😱 You’ve nailed the CreepyPasta vibe.
Thank you!✨✨
YESS I was hoping we'd see some of the world beyond the egg!!!! this is delicous
We’re exploring the whole frying pan🙌✨
@@lilysillustration that is such a superb thing to call or XD

I continue to be enamored with this world and the way you present these worldbuilding snippets with such lovely art
This is fascinating worldbuilding!

Man.......
You can really tell that our little thief is so small in this big world that lily created
Keep up the work!
The daemon knows that the chess master is preventing the next game.
Your creativity is inspiring. This worldbuilding is so fun and unique. It makes me want to try and create more characters, worlds and stories
This is cool- this is SO COOL. Small details like the sound of pages flipping at each transition- it's like listening to the logs/reports as someone sketches these fascinating explorations. Were learning together with (what I assume is) the thief!
Aside from your greatness in storytelling, I love your accent rambling about the rules while doodling over it. Really Amazing!
This is so amazing!! I love the lore of The Nest Egg, it’s exactly the vibe I want and it makes me happy every time I see any from it
This was such a cool video, I love the presentation and all the illustrations in it!
The whole SCP but ghibli vibes this entry gave me are amazing.
Please keep posting more 🙏
i discovered your channel yesterday, and now today i have watched all your videos. I LOVE YOUR CONTENT. KEEP IT UP LILY
I am so happy to see a new nest egg video! I love your art style and your worldbuilding.
Thank you!✨
Absolutely intriguing story! I love how you present your original world ❤
I absolutely LOVE LOVE your in progress universe! Your art style is amazing and your talent is so goood!!!!
It’s so creative🥹😭😭

This is so cool and creative. Can't wait to see more!
What stunning awesome work you do! Instant subscribed!
This is so freaking cool I'm absolutely enthralled by this story!! Really want to know what happeneds next
It’s awesome to see what the vault actually stores! Cursed items galore.

So cool! I didn’t want it to end I’m so curious about it all
This is my favorite art channel, there’s just so much creativity in your stories and worldbuilding plus the art is outstanding!
you should have a creature or item or something that takes inspiration from medusa, cuz i think medusa has a really interesting design and has cool abilities.

Thanks so much! Scp was actually one of the inspirations for this project, I love the endless storytelling potential of those types of worlds!🙌✨
@@lilysillustration I'm also really looking forward to going through the art & design videos. I always love finding more of those.
I love seeing the effort that people put into their worldbuilding! Thanks for sharing more tales (tails?) from The Nest Egg!
Absolutely love the world building in this project and the drawings with it!
This is so cool!!! I think this world would be good for a comic or show series cause of the world building and character designs. Though, that's just me wanting to know everything about this world lol.
Thanks! It’s just exploration at the moment, but I’d love to make a comic on it sometime in future!✨
I absolutely love all the lore with The Nest Egg! I've watched every new update
It's very kind to give the Chess demon his very own...raum.
Wow I absolutely love the world building for this project it so cool and interesting. I love how ur drawing like have this cool vibe to it that matches the story. I really hope this can be made into a game or some type of visual book!
Thanks! I think I’d really like to make an art book in future!🙌✨
I know the chessmater is acting highly suspisious, but just look at his little face, he's just the cutest
This is just so so cool!! incredibly interesting process!! and your art!! so beautiful!!!!
YES YES YES thank you !! She deserved this !

❤❤ amazing video.

Thank you! Blender is a great tool- 3d is something I’m still learning as I go along!✨
You're content is so good!!
love your concepts !!!
Thank you!✨
Wonderful worldbuilding!
Thank you!✨
very cool, i am fascinated by systems of government based on competitive skill.
❤❤
so SCP !!! I love it
Why do I feel so concerned for this poor chess master lol
I definitely didnt read the Cheese Master
With a cheese board 🧀✨
2:07 my man sacrificed is spelled wrong
My spelling skills have abandoned me😂
Magical scp foundation
Wha- And then what???? This is so interesting I wanna know!!!
Couldn't you have someone make the first move and then move to a far away country out of reach of the board, preventing the game from ever being finished?
why is the client pablo from backyardigans?
He’s pursuing different career options👍✨
I thought it said cheese master
Why would anyone want to be a chess master if chances are they just gonna end up getting eaten by the board?
It does have a lot of perks, but I couldn’t deal with the stress personally!😂✨
Ah, 2manji
s
'No cheating'
Does not allowing any potential opponents to play count as cheating? Cuz bro looks MAD AF XDDD
I literally follow u on ig how th did u get on my YT fyp lol
