    Today I introduced my husband to your channel and he picked this video to watch first. He is so pumped with the possibilities of things he can do in his gaming. I just thought you'd get a kick out of knowing you were a huge inspiration. Thanks for all you do and congratulations on your book.

    That book is beautiful, Jeremy! It's super encouraging to see someone tackle a new thing for the first time and create such a high quality product. Are you planning any expansions for the game? Or maybe slingin' the IP over to an RPG setting, etc.?

    As soon as you revealed the PanPastels, I was immediately reminded of the stack of old makeup compacts I have on my hobby desk that I've been meaning to try as pigments... I'm guessing the pastels will go on a little better, but now I want to get some to compare...

  • @MB-st7be

    I'm working on building my first set of terrain.... a keep. I've definitely learned only having 1 inch foam makes things a little more difficult because you have to cut and put together so many more pieces. And cutting with a knife sucks! I'm hoping I can get the hot wire table on sale for black Friday.
    Awesome videos! I wouldn't have any idea where to start without them.

  • @keegobricks9734
    @keegobricks9734 Рік тому

    possible shortcut to the grout line, make a wire mesh of some kind, out of a metal that's sturdy enough to keep a squared shape, but also thin enough to be a grout line, then just heat the thing on the BBQ for like 2 mins, press it onto the foam sheet, and you should get a slightly melted outline with whatever grid pattern you cut the mesh too.
    Depends a bit on the materials you're using and you'd need to be super careful about how you place it, not to mention not burning yourself, but I think it could work.

    I had to laugh because every fine artist I've watched start working with pan pastels has the exact same "these are awesome" reaction. Truly a versatile product to get that reaction from people who work in so many different media!

  • @TheRedBard

    The 'freestyling' you said is hard to describe is my primary method of crafting, and I would argue most people who push through do to some extent as well. Add and see what you get.
    Maybe next project during the freestyling, take some specific notes on your thoughts during each piece, that might help put more words to the concept at the moment.
    This one looks excellent, couldn't have guessed any of it was freestyled unless you told us. Greta work as always.

  • @Khether0001
    @Khether0001 Рік тому

    Not sure if you have done this already (I think you might...) but an interesting project could be to figure out how to create your own texture rolling pins
    I don't think it would be faster in this case by any means, but perhaps it could be very interesting for a video. I'd love to watch it!
    I wonder if you could use just plain milliput to create a base surface over any cylinder and then add the horizontal grout lines first (before the base hardens) and then figure out the spacing for the vertical ones, as long as they align horizontally you'd get a seamless organic effect, you could even go with a larger diameter to space out the same patterns, or try some sort of clay/silicon rubber if you feel it would be worth it
    I'm also wondering if by creating some very high/deep grout indentations on the cylinder, it would carve them deeper in the foam, in this case even if it really cut or damage the surface a bit, it could be beneficial to the final effect. Sorry, anyway I just wanted to share my thoughts! Loved the video, and grats again on the book!!!
