Dude, I'm not even into table top games and I love your channel. I'm an art teacher that was so inspired by your videos that I have started rewriting my curriculum to include more crafting and diorama making. Thanks!
That's so cool, I am a student myself studying art but also homeschool 3 kiddos and we have played fart quest with the 5 and 11 year old. But also would love to do more diorama making.
I’m a railway modeller in the Uk. And looking to do some sand stone, as seen at Waverley station in Edinburgh, Scotland. You’ve given me so top tips! Thanks. Dave
Thanks for the 'new' brick coloring. I was thinking of using the techniques that you used on the gallows for bricks as well for wood, but this seems about the same idea and looks much better than just the modpodge, grey, white scheme .
The the principal is the same really dont paint things the "obvious" but unrealistic colour....don't paint wood dark brown and don't paint stones with a grey that has no colour undertones. Both should be a variety of shades and tones.
Tried to do this same effect on your pillars but all the subtleties were lost in the wash. Seeing how "cartoony" it has to be for it to show up afterwards really helps. Thank you for this video, as simple as it is. My next pillars I'm sure will be majestic.
Amigo, genial todo lo que haces. Te felicito! Pero si tengo que hacerte una crítica, si vez el mapa de Sudamérica es muy grande y la mayoría de nosostros hablamos castellano o Español. Si pudieras subtitular tus vídeos, llevarías tus conocimientos a millones de latinos y españoles. Gracias por leerme. Un abrazo grande Amigo.
nice video! Do you have an idea / tip how I could paint my masonry in a creepy, ghostly and gloomy dark green and purple? have a nice rest of the week! :) cheers, fraenky
hey! been watching you for a wile and decided to finally make a youtube of my own! first video just went live would love some feedback from someone i look up to! keep up the great work!
Why start with a black base if you are just going to then make it a brown base? Mix your mm with some brown, let it dry and go from there. Am I wrong to see the black as an extra step?
I came across you tonight and I too don't do gaming... I'm a 68 yo female but I have a Christmas Village and all the accessories are so expensive so I thought I would make my own and I found you. Thanks so much and your stone work is so realistic.
Great video as always! My 8 year old son watched this with me and said "now i want to watch all his videos". Oh and my son (Nolan) told me to add "Hi. You're the best. I want to be an artist when i grow up."
Hi Nolan 👋 Yup, solid advice is to practice art but learn a trade. They each offer valuable overlap of skill but one is much more reliable as far as work goes. Cheers
Yes....i too went to art school..... lol.(sigh) Thank you both for the kind words. He will be really excited to see you responded. Thanks for taking the time!
I have only recently started crafting (and DM'ing), so I have watched a ton of videos in a very short time. I feel like the crafting DM community has graduated from the basics and now we're getting into some very sophisticated techniques. This brick technique is perhaps the most sophisticated example of brick I've seen so far, and shows how just putting in a bit more work can go dramatically further in enhancing the realism of your work. And the end results are stunning! I am definitely going to put this to use in my brickwork, and see if I can figure out how to adapt it to my stone slabs, too. Really sensational tutorial!
I absolutely cannot stand how much time this video takes away from my other stuff, because I think I've watched it about 6 times. This is by FAR one of the best stone detailing and painting videos, and I have learned lots from it. I need to watch it again next time until my techniques are down. Thank you so much BMC! dang I have to change my YT name to match my twitch and IG!
That was basically the only critique I ever had on your earlier projects where the masonry looked like something from Dark Souls but not perse real life. As a painter I just use whatever acrylic I have on hand (although model paint would be the best choice) and I gotten used to mixing various colors for my stones. And ofcourse looking at a lot of references online helps! This video is great and I hope you have many more to come! I especially love your videos about making monsterfigurines and I can't wait for the next one!
Hello Jeremy. First of all I wanted to apologize because I am translating with Google Translate. Also excuse me because I have not seen the video where you answer all the questions about XPS. I asked you without having seen it before. My apologies. Now after watching this video I want to ask you how do you mix Mod Podge with black ink. Empty half a bottle of Mod Podge and fill the other half with black ink? What percentage do you use
"you can't really mess it up" Me : I did mess it up. When applying the modpodge it just does not cover or stick to the surface and it fills all the details pretty quickly, help
I just taught my cousin this technique yesterday. I had to show him as he's french and didn't quite understand all the subtleties. I just built my first bridge myself and I'll send you a pic offline.
I really like watching your videos. Even though my creative medium is something else that the things you use, it still gives me a lot of ideas! Thanks for sharing your wonderful advice and your creativity! You are a wonderful craftsman. Keep up the good work :-)
Great video! Love seeing the individual steps AND especially what the wall looks like up close after each step. That’s super helpful. I will definitely be trying this. Thanks.
I just watched your You Tube video on painting bricks which was several steps finishing with black, brown, and green washes. I actually want to paint my fireplace’s surrounding flagstone. Do you think this method would translate to that big of a project? Could you detail out the paints used and did you water them down any?
Hey brother, silly question. Do you peel off the paper from the black foam board before gluing on the individual bricks? Thank you for giving back to the community with these great instructional video's.
It may be a cop out, but I print and glue a dollhouse type wallpaper I buy from Etsy and add embossing so the stone and brick aren’t flat. Realistic looking? Yeah as long as you don’t look too closely, I guess. I know my limitations. Your result is gorgeous.
Just had a random thought watching this as Ive just been watching a pottery video before. Could you do this stuff using clay? I just think I'd like the heavier feel, and honestly I'm not a gamer, I just like the pieces for display, so clay or some other material I've not thought of just seems better for display pieces. I'm asking this as someone who has never even attempted doing this kind of thing by the way, I'm talentless lol. I'm always left in awe by the skills of people like yourself.
Maybe I missed it in an earlier video, but you don't seal the whole thing with a final coat of Mod Podge or varnish after all the painting is completed? Also, a link to your brick-making video would be helpful to newbies if this is the first video they stumble upon ( btw it's ua-cam.com/video/TJPKVOMECvo/v-deo.html). I know it was just a week ago, but not everyone views them in any sort of order, and I still often run into people who don't know you can search within the current channel by using the 2nd search icon (next to ABOUT on the channel's main pages). I've been enjoying your channel for just over a year now. A series of eye surgeries ha prevented me from actually starting anything, but I keep trying to learn as much as possible by watching, storing up knowledge against the day when vision and health will allow me to dive into the hobby more fully. So thank you for doing all these videos.
I'm attempting this paint job on the fountain that I made based on your video. I get the variation on the brick work, but what about the "large" stones?
hey man! Loving your content! Just looking for some direction or ideas as to creating a marble surface effect on structures. What materials (as i dunno If I can achieve the smooth surface effect with foam) should be better for building and what painting methods. You know, just in case I want to build a nice lair for a wizard or a Beholder. If you ever feel interested in doing something of the like some time It would be awesome! And again Thanks for the great content!!
Wow! Fairly new to all this. I thought the black gray and white was all there was to it. But you demonstrated the artful perfection of the multitone muted colors effect. Its perfect! Thankyou for your tutorials!!!
dear god, this is just epic, i've been bingewatching these vids lately... i've always been a fan of dark fantasy so these builds really fit my style and dear god that detail 0.o saddly i suck at the detailing and painting stuff, (having aphantasia doesn't help there) but i'm pretty good at crafts, luckily i have a friend that sucks at the crafty parts but is really good at the artsy parts, so i'ma just link him these vids and together we'll make 1 fine arts and crafts team :3
im having trouble applying the wash to my piece as it removes the previous layer in sections, is it the cheap paint im using or is it too firm a brush or is it me, or, for the jackpot, all three.?
So going to bing out of the comfort zone had a thought on you dungeon tiles what if instead of doing a normal stone. How do you think of doing a while base with a royal blue design of some kind ? Maybe like a marble temple floor and ideas on how to pull it off?
Great stuff! I’ll be using these techniques for my sandstone retaining walls on my model railways. Check out my layout. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Dave
Mod Podge Gloss vs Mod Podge Matte: in my contry there's only the gloss type ): , so do you recommend it? or it will make a big difference in the final product?
Monk - You will end up dulling it back down with all of the dry brushing. I wouldn’t worry about the Gloss Mod Podge at all. If anything, your final washes may end up leaving it a bit more glossy than you might want. If that’s the case brush on any matte varnish like Testors Dullcote and your bricks will flatten right back out. :)
Since the mod Podge is the first coat it probably doesn’t matter much, however it’s harder to paint over glossy surfaces so I’d probably add a lot more matte black paint to the mix to dull it.

That is so cool. Ive never done anything like painting tabletop stuff. But i want to get into it. It looks so fun, i hope i can do it.
Many thanks for posting this video, great take-aways for use of Mod Podge, mult-colors for realistic stone works, and use of washes!
Tried to do this same effect on your pillars but all the subtleties were lost in the wash. Seeing how "cartoony" it has to be for it to show up afterwards really helps.

Amazing!!!! Looks so realistic!
Looks great - it might be cool next time if you show an example piece done "the other way" so we can see the difference.

Anyone loved it better without wash?

Great video as always! My 8 year old son watched this with me and said "now i want to watch all his videos".
Oh and my son (Nolan) told me to add "Hi. You're the best. I want to be an artist when i grow up."
Convince him he can be an artist AND a tradesman at the same time. Art school was not a good investment for me haha
Hi Nolan 👋
Yup, solid advice is to practice art but learn a trade. They each offer valuable overlap of skill but one is much more reliable as far as work goes. Cheers
Yes....i too went to art school..... lol.(sigh)

man i love your vids. it’s made terrain building soooooo much easier and cheaper
subtle color.. that's it, that's what I was missing. I knew grey/grey/lighter grey was lacking something but I didn't know what. Thanks!
The end result is awesome, I like it. I'll have to try it when I'm not feeling so lazy!
Do you have a video where you build a wall like that? Is it just bricks glued together or is it backed with chipboard or something?
Increible video, me ha encantado. El material que realiza los ladrillos es poliestireno extruido, ¿o que material es?. Muchas gracias
Super helpful video, as always!
I like letting washes mix and blend while wet.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Thank you so much for the reply!

This piece I'm working on will go well with my Kool-aid man figurine
You've really outdone yourself on this one. I never thought I would say this but, that is one fucking beautiful wall.
Just followed this identically on my action figure diorama using the exact same colors and it looks absolutely fantastic! The wash is the MVP!
Hello Jeremy. First of all I wanted to apologize because I am translating with Google Translate. Also excuse me because I have not seen the video where you answer all the questions about XPS. I asked you without having seen it before. My apologies. Now after watching this video I want to ask you how do you mix Mod Podge with black ink.

Thank-you for this. I just started airbrushing and working on a few projects including some brick walls to go with those projects.
Nice job. The bricks of different colors blended well with the others by the time you finished. I would love to know how you made the brick wall.
Can this method be applied to well I am planning to paint a Airfix Checkpoint 1.32 scale. A stone bridge is included in the package
"you can't really mess it up" Me : I did mess it up. When applying the modpodge it just does not cover or stick to the surface and it fills all the details pretty quickly, help
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for putting so much content out there for us, your channel is the reason i got into crafting. Cheers mate 🍻
Rockin
I just taught my cousin this technique yesterday. I had to show him as he's french and didn't quite understand all the subtleties. I just built my first bridge myself and I'll send you a pic offline.
Damn it now I have to redo all my brick work!
Great Stuff Buddy ! Very Professional Camera work too. Best Wishes From London 👍👍👍
I really like watching your videos. Even though my creative medium is something else that the things you use, it still gives me a lot of ideas! Thanks for sharing your wonderful advice and your creativity! You are a wonderful craftsman. Keep up the good work :-)
Do you think this same technique would work on cork? I'm using Cork as bricks for the foundation for a dollhouse build..
I found this very informative and helpful! Glad you showed me I can make some good quality terrain with my craftsmans paints.
Great video! Love seeing the individual steps AND especially what the wall looks like up close after each step. That’s super helpful. I will definitely be trying this. Thanks.

Do you think this method would translate to that big of a project? Could you detail out the paints used and did you water them down any?
Where can I find the stone walls you use in many of your demonstrations?
That is so awesome, plus it works out so well with the individual glued stones
Loved the video and will be applying technique to my Stalingrad board which is in progress. Any Vallejo or Army Painter paint color equivalents??

Hello my friend. What's the difference between mod podge and plaster of paris? Because I only have a gloss one. Should I use it?
thank you for sharing :)
just a question tho the first layer of modpudge is that regular modpodge mixed with black ink?
Suddenly I see a new use for the thousands of interesting texture photos I've taken!!
Brilliant stuff. Short, sharp, and to the point. Makes me wonder, who are those 70 guys that did NOT like this...
I'm attempting this paint job on the fountain that I made based on your video. I get the variation on the brick work, but what about the "large" stones?

Another awesome video! I really like that technique and will be trying it out in future builds. By the way did you put a clear coat on it after?
Not on this demonstration piece, but normally I do.
Thanks for this!!! My walls look more "REAL."😄😄
dear god, this is just epic, i've been bingewatching these vids lately... i've always been a fan of dark fantasy so these builds really fit my style and dear god that detail 0.o
saddly i suck at the detailing and painting stuff, (having aphantasia doesn't help there) but i'm pretty good at crafts, luckily i have a friend that sucks at the crafty parts but is really good at the artsy parts, so i'ma just link him these vids and together we'll make 1 fine arts and crafts team :3
very nice work and colours,i will try your method on my medi-evil house ,model i printed
I want to build a ancient jungle temple for a bonsai planting. Can this be made water proof for outdoors?
Now let’s see if I can do something similar on four 6x3ft pieces of cardboard
im having trouble applying the wash to my piece as it removes the previous layer in sections, is it the cheap paint im using or is it too firm a brush or is it me, or, for the jackpot, all three.?
hello, for an outside stone wall, what should i do for best coating+painting for sustain the paint for years?
What about using the ink color of chalk paint in place of Mod Podge used for the undercoating?
So going to bing out of the comfort zone had a thought on you dungeon tiles what if instead of doing a normal stone. How do you think of doing a while base with a royal blue design of some kind ? Maybe like a marble temple floor and ideas on how to pull it off?
too many colors for the bricks imo. even when fully finished it stands out too much
Would this same technique work just a was in egg box bricks?
Great stuff! I’ll be using these techniques for my sandstone retaining walls on my model railways. Check out my layout. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Dave
I’m not even interested in your hobby but enjoyed the video, that wall looks real !
Will this process work if im building plaster retaining walls?
So honestly i love that cartoony look the bricks had and the wash is super dark on this i would have diluted it more with watter
Would this technique work in a 3D printed model?
Excellent… thanks for sharing
Hi mate could I do exactly what you have done but on cut out brick egg cartons
Do you seal the paint job with anything once you are done letting the wash dry?
Thank you so much! This is a wonderful tutorial!! I am very excited with how my stone walls turned out!
Mod Podge Gloss vs Mod Podge Matte:

if i wana use styrofoam what i can use other than mod pog? Some home recipe?
They look brilliant dude!
Thanks man
Would be nice to see the side by side comparison with the simpler one
I usually do another dry brushing on top of the wash.
Hi mate would I get the same results if I use cut out egg carton bricks
Can you add more water to mix the paint instead of using wash ?
Thank you for sharing!! Great tutorial.
Love it 👏🏼will definitely apply in my art work
Love this video been using it every time I need to do stone
I wanna see a tutorial on making a polished marble look
That paint work looks absolutely gorgeous. I will have to give this technique a try some time.
« Tan »... got to find what that translate into when looking at French names for colors! It looks like cappuccino... so a mix of grey and brown?
It's just a light beige, or like a khaki
Super clean man great video great result i will be following these steps!
How do you make the foam tile or do you buy it somewhere?
What music are you using for this vid?
Im color blind and i appreciated that comment lol
I dont play table top games but i started building terrain as a sort of therapy after watching your videos. thanks man
Sounds like a start to a model train or diorama making Hobby
How did you make get the great texture on stones?
Thanks. I leant a lot from this vid.
