i'd love to see you guys do a practical build for the modern age. what has changed or evolved? seeing you forego aesthetics and straight to useable and simple. for example, a machete with a sawblade: seems obvious, but it's practical. thinking along those lines, how would you guys go about doing it?
I will definitively be going out and drawing objects from my surroundings, I have been drawing swords for quite a bit but only started making them regularly in the last year or so and I have noticed differences between my sketches and the final piece. Great advice and great to see this channel back, you guys are some of my biggest inspirations.
This channel is so cool, would really love to see more of you guys "before the craft" workflow. Also glad to see Ilya back in this video, I really miss his crafstmanship
An Artist of so many Talents....I and so,so many others have missed you Ilya...we are very excited to see this next build ,hopefully in more than one video🖤
I'd love to see a challenge where you two each draw an idea for a blade, hand the sketch to the other person, and see how close they get to your original idea!
@@ThatWorks I figure if anything it would make you get into the others heads a bit more than usual. And could easily make it into two separate videos. One for each project!
This was a really great explanation of sketching. I'm "self-taught" with drawing, and there are things I internalized while learning that I didn't realize until hearing you explain it here. Particularly in the difference between seeing in 3D and turning it into 2D as opposed to drawing from a picture.
Looking forward to the build video! You guys could probably make an awesome coffee table art book collecting these sorts of sketches and showcasing them side by side with photos of the finished projects I bet!
Thanks so much for the advice!!!! I started drawing recently and this made me so happy. I was also pleased because i allways sketch out a miniature version of the project before I make it. Wish you all the best!!!
Absolutely love this video! As an engineering student who is a hobby knife maker/blacksmith I totally get being able to convert 3d concepts to 2d sketches! I need to get out there and practice some more organic shapes
Never knew how much my interest in drawing/doodling as a kid would later help me to forge commissions from scratch. Ilya is right, and he could not have put it into better words. Metal workers, be a kid again, start doodling.
The drawing and painting was great, looking forwards to seeing the build. For the next project it would be neat to see a Kris or Yatagan as those are pretty different from you usual projects.
@ThatWorks under maryland and Federal law if it uses black powder not smokeless powder it is not considered a firearms, but I not a lawyer you would have to talk with local law and or atf, also with youtube but if it is done as an educational/ historical build it is ok to do, I have seen other channels do historical builds of Wheelock and Flintlocks
A black powder muzzleloader would be awesome as it is not considered a “firearm” legally. As a bonus the chamber/barrel pressures are much lower than you find with modern smokeless powder, which lends itself well to a historical build with older techniques. Maybe worth exploring.
Any idea should be put on paper first. It's a simple process that gives you time to THINK about what you're doing, not just jump into it, fail, and get discouraged.
I also went to drawing & painting school, for 9 years. Some people was oppose it. I like to carve in wood, it's wrong (according to them), until I have to do something for them-with pieces I have put aside. I always wanted to forge swords, but to people close to me, it's stupid and funny. (also the guy at the fleamarket didn't want to sell me forging equipment, so I got me self a piece of rail at junkyard, and recently a little cheap anvil at the store) Also people think I'm nuts, because I'm snaping photos, to extensively for their taste. Sometimes, I just feel like giving up...
I've been following the sword intusiasm community for awhile now and I noticed some structure weakness in the dagger. Like the handle or the carving at the base of the blade. Is it practical? Or maybe you're going for a wall hanger?
The making of this sword will be our next build video coming this week! What else would you like to see us make or hear Ilya talk about?
Make the Shaolin monk Spade
After the game and more reference photos come out, The katana/wakizashi from Ghost of Yotei with the wolves on the tsuba.
More detailed videos with you sculpting and inlaying. Love the part you did for the Heretic sword ❤

@@eddyguizonde401You know the brand name "glock"? I think that's the answer you seek
Ilya we missed you. More content guys you guys are awsome.
I was wondering what happened to Ilya
Dropping the finished prduct on top is a pro gamer move. Looking forward to the full build series.
Ilya is definitely one of the most talented smiths of our time.

Wonderful! Thanks for the support!!!
Thanks for sharing the drawing part of your build Ilya, looking forward to the smithing video.
Coming this week! Stay tuned
Can't wait to see the full build, y'all never cease to amaze me with your work, and passion for the craft.
I could watch more sketching videos with Ilya, he's an amazing artist and never fails to amaze and inspire me with his wisdom!

I mean I love the concept for sure! We would both be really good at that with our years of making video game stuff.

I have missed you Ilya! So awesome to see the progress! Keep it coming!
Very well done. No surprise from a master artisan like Ilya.
Loved this! Would gladly watch more sketching videos!
More to come!
That's SOOOOO cool! More of these please! 😀
Ilyukha вернулся, очень не хватало тебя)
Absolutely love the concept and the result here. Always appreciate great art.
Watching a sword made from Drawing is something i have always wanted to see, thank you for this.
That looks epic 🤩
The Slavic Master is back!! Missed you Ilya!!!
Great teaser for the build while showing the importance of planing to a build. Not surprised in the least that you are a classically trained artist.
I love how much this reminds me of magic sword designs I saw as a child.
Круто. Жду полное видео.
Wow, thats a great painting.
This is a very interesting subject, and I appreciate your insights Ilya. Thank you!
Илюха крутой ))) молодцы, творцы!
that ending
WoW
just WoW
I cant wait to see the building of this sword :)
Beautiful design man, bravo 👏
Wow that is stunning. Looking forward to the build on this.
just WOW!

ilya is a true professional

I only build model as a hobby/art but i know the feeling of sketching to both plan ahead and to see waht will look right.

I like to see a hema sparring sword
This looks like some ancient artifact you'd find at the end of some ruins in a Video Game.
Never knew how much my interest in drawing/doodling as a kid would later help me to forge commissions from scratch. Ilya is right, and he could not have put it into better words. Metal workers, be a kid again, start doodling.
amazing video, I like the final artwork a lot.
Thank you for the video 👍🏻
SO COOL😊
Man, you watch Ilya work the hammer, and you forget that he studied fine arts. Until you see what he makes and you remember it.
Borax Bae Ilya is back 🔥
The drawing and painting was great, looking forwards to seeing the build.
For the next project it would be neat to see a Kris or Yatagan as those are pretty different from you usual projects.
that was awesome thankyou for sharing
Very well said, i notice when photography my work it forces you to think in a similar way but kinda in reverse.
Looks epic
I like your historical builds, do a fully functional damascus twist gun barrel
UA-cam unfortunately has an express rule prohibiting content creators from making a firearm.
It could be a Damascus straw though...

The GOATsmith is back
Oops now i want Wizards of the Coast to commission art for an equipment Magic card. And maybe a sponsor video on building that sword IRL :)
Awesome!
You are the best 😁
Pretty wicked. ^^
Amazing
More!
your drawing so good
that works
Please make Dyrnwyn from the Disney version of The Black Cauldron.
Oh this would be awesome, that movie holds a special place in my childhood memory.
I would like Ilya to make Magneto’s helmet. His old one was destroyed and he needs a new one so physics can’t read his mind, and/or attack it
Reminds me of Yoshitaka Amano drawings.

Always a genuine pleasure to watch your process and artifact, mate. Gorgeous work, as always.
Ilya 😭😭
It's kinda funny, i saw the proportions and immediately thought of peter johnson
LFG!!
Can you make Daemon Targaryen's sword, Dark Sister from HOTD/House of the Dragon?
We do have something special planned for that
@ThatWorks
Yay!!!
I've been following the sword intusiasm community for awhile now and I noticed some structure weakness in the dagger. Like the handle or the carving at the base of the blade. Is it practical? Or maybe you're going for a wall hanger?
The usage of wall hanger in any sentence while communicating about this sword seems sacrilegious.
@ThatWorks breaking the dagger while doing any stress testing isn't?
Just a comment for the algorithm
