Glad this channel got recommended to me, this is great
Same, it’s really cool
Very happy, I’m not the only one!
I'm like: So Interesting! Finally, some good fcking content
Same tbh. Fun shit to sit down to and eat.
agreed
“The first things you think of usually aren’t the best concept”… then proceeds to doodle the chillest looking little dudes.
"I changed my mind, it's a good name" Love it!
i love it, keep up the good work ma dude
thank you! i will try to keep up
A
Good news! This showed up in my recommended!
that is very good news
@@monlenz same with the Dwarf video that introduced me to this channel.
Same!
My first thought was literally just a club sandwich with wings.... Or even better would be a winged creature that is wielding a "club" sandwich (its a club sandwich but they are holding/using it as a club) I would love to see that drawing lmao
I liked the video very much and looking forward to seeing more of this
there will be more soon, im glad you liked it
DAMN all of these are straight up inspired designs
I like these kinds of "fuse random concepts" videos. Another channel called JessJackdaw used to do a lot of these. It's very fun to watch someone brainstorm.
I'd say don't focus on making projects perfect before you show them to people. Literally anything you're gonna put on UA-cam is going to be interesting to someone. I think usually with these kind of web art projects people don't have any expectations towards the artists, we're just happy to be along for the ride and to occasionally be surprised by some cool piece of art. Take as much time as you need with this stuff. If you keep developing the channel I'm sure you'll find a style and a format for the project that fits well for you. And if it stops being fun for you at some point that's okay too, I'll just be thankful that I got to see all of this.
I hope you have lots of fun with your work, wish you well.
I really love the design you were going for at 15:30, but the final one looks hype too. Another concept would be the automaton having a single "head", but it rotates between the 3 faces, Starscream style. What if it the overall shape was less humanoid and more like a monument with arms and legs, like your "Crawling King", and the "head" was in the middle, with a crown engraved above the place where the faces rotate, so when the faces swapped it's like they're fighting over the crown, with the designs on the rest of the body reinforcing that idea with depictions of the three royals' vices and infighting.
Also, you could have simply gone with eagle wings - the eagle is a historical symbol of royal, particularly imperial, authority and prestige, from the romans, to the byzantines, HRE, austrio-hungarian, the one that starts with an N and rhymes with paparazzi, etc... But the vulture is an absolutely inspired distortion of that classic picture of regal nobility, love it.
As for word suggestions, if you're still taking them... "deep". hope that's not been suggested already
My boyfriend just showed me your channel and I’m so happy he did! I love doing idea dump- sort of things with my own art. I find them very helpful. I love your point of view that you’re able to share through your art
now this is some gourmet monster design! I'm a sucker for a well designed creature.
Ooh yeah some words for the generator: Mana, Sludge, Amalgam, parasitic
Really cool to see someone posting their worldbuilding for content, I think there are a lot of creatives out there that appreciate this kind of thing. Keep it up!
I can *see* how this thing moves in my head, it's unsettling. well done
I like the idea dump format!
I think this video is well put together. it's easy to follow as you develop the concept, and very entertaining
thankyou
I've done this where folks give me three words and I create a design based on them, I forgot how fun it was. Watching you makes me want to give it a go again. Loved seeing you go from initial idea to final design, very cool interpretation of the three prompts given!
I took it very literally, like, a club, like a group, that meets up at a fancy tavern called the winged sandwich. Like a posh book club. I guess it’s not a character design, but it is worldbuilding.
What incredible talent and creativity. This is a rarity, not even by today's standards, but historically it seems that few people have been able to tap into this kind of creativity and ability for conjuring novelty. What a treat to be given the opportunity to follow along your path and see how your ideas and skill progress from concepts to reality. I truly admire your openness in sharing such a valuable gift with the world, as most artist would be too self-conscious and weary to share an unfinished project. Very inspiring.
Honestly dude don’t stress too much about the quality or jankyness, just focus on the content, thats clearly why people are here. You got a unique style between super chill casual, and deep dives into creative concepts
I love this so much! as an artist who struggles with ironing out my worlds this is a fantastic journey to watch and be a part of!
Love getting to come along on the process with you here! It's really interesting to watch the way the designs suggest story which then offers ideas to refine the designs (and, for what it's worth, feels more "behind the scenes" than "janky")
'winged club sandwich' makes me think of like an angel on a lunch break eating his sandwiches on top of a nightclub or smth... wish I had the skills to pull that art piece off... anyway I just found your channel, binged all the videos and already in love!
the way u think is incredible! ur imagination is amazing. coming up with that totem creature from sandwich is unbelievable. and from the golemish guys with the clubs to the deck of cards-inspired fancy club idea with the interlocking crowns! then the way it all developed throughout the video with the porcelain and personalities of the king, queen and jack. it’s SO innovative
That's amazing lol, love your stuff man! I kept thinking of the special sentient sandwich from adventure time, but with wings, and using telekinesis to wield a club
Dude
I love this idea dump.
Don't be hard on you
Channel is defiantly a diamond in the rough. Live long and prosper
Wish their was more of these, your drawing process is so inspiring.
A fun thing a co-worker and I used to do during boring days was some world-building where one person asks questions and the other replies.
We started broad and narrowed it more and more by fleshing out the details.
Was a ton of fun and sometimes the answers surprise you, like the one time we created a swamp-like mangrove peninsula inhabited by frog-people, I had build an entire primitive tribe idea already built in my head... but then my co-worker mentioned they lived in the Victorian age.
I got quiet and he asked if it was a stupid idea, but hell no, I loved it! It changed the entire concept in my head for the good.
Was amazing
I saw the dwarf video first and I really like your ideas and takes on things, they're so fresh!
holy shit i love how this guy thinks. I've watched all your videos now and i have to say I LOVE your ideas! and the world or worlds you are building REALY intrigue me! I REALLY HOPE this gets to be a book, tv series, video game or SOMETHING! I NEED TO EXPERIENCE THIS IN SOME CONTEXT
Dude I LOVE your art, don't diss yourself for the jank, this is a solid 10/10 video as far as I'm concerned. I enjoy seeing your uniquely creative process and ideas, and how you (unlike most youtube art channels) actually try to make something really cool out of your weird prompts, and you succeed every time!! Great work, well done, I can't wait to see more of your stuff as time goes by
dude... your channel is growing EXTREMELY FAST!!! Yesterday when I checked you had 87,5k and now you have over a 100k... this is amazing, keep up the good work. You are doing grate and and we enjoy your art
btw when is your silver play-button gonna arrive or did you receive it already?
Do not apologise for "jank", as a format this is actually incredibly interesting and entertaining.
Lovely to see you work through the process!
watching this video makes me more and more excited for you to grow and reach an even wider audience
This fits in with the pillars/towers. A creature inspired by the tower/pillars. Even there weapons designed by the pillars. Forming towers for battle and intimidation against others. But flying untill stacking.
the final design is so cool and well done
So happy this channel got recommended. I love your art style and I’m eating all of this up!!!
my first idea was a club sandwich with wings.
I have finally remembered what your style reminds me of Wizard but a bit darker. Or the fire and ice anime from the 80s I think. Awesome work.
dude love this channel, voice sound effects and just random bloopers and cuts just talking to us perfect
Oooh this is brilliant. personally I like the wander through the conceptualisation, really sparks ideas to build into it!
I’m really enjoying this channel. I haven’t been inspired to draw this badly in ages. I might actually bust out my iPad and Pencil and join you in drawing some of these concepts
Very interesting and good stuff my guy! For some words I give thee Ancient, Rotted and Dry. I look forward to seeing more things from you fellow story weaver *tips am old ragged top hat and disappears into shadow with a puff of smoke the only trace they were ever there*
Okay, I love these videos so far. I started with your dwarf redesign and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do for the other fantasy races. Dragons, maybe? Goblins, too.
I thought of a flying mimic that looks like a club sandwich, keeping to softer materials in order to initiate flight at a faster rate. I also want to eat a club sandwich now...
Also, we've had a dnd improv game for a while, and it involved a status effect called Gildining, a form of petrification that was made by a cult group called The Status Woe(improv game, some of the names weren't the best), and they made it by melting down or crushing the cursed hand of Midus into liquid or dust, that they would sprinkle or spray from special pouches and containers, onto various social elites. Three character players had pretty much become evil loan sharks when they were able to ambush and take some for themselves.
Im just discovering your channel and im so amazed, your thougt process is so interesting. Realy great work !
Pretty cool stuff dude!
I personally really liked the totem pole style boss arrangement.
It sucks that I missed this stream, because I would vehemently argue that the Kings abilities should be hearing based; given that the Jack speaks with poison, and the Queen has a chilling stare. Maybe the King would have some noise based counter? Making the amalgam difficult to sneak up on, or allowing it to "lock on" to a target that makes itself known. With the later theme of revolved symmetry expressed in the artwork, the King would be able to keenly observe any oncoming attackers, all while his hearing keeps the other two-thirds of the creature in mind.
I really loved watching this video, mate. Excellent job! I really enjoy your style and I am eagerly anticipating more content!
This is super fun, I’d love to see idea dump #2 happen!
Nvm, found it!
Winged, Club, Sandwich?
What I'm thinking, is a club, not as the weapon, but like the thing for people to join and enjoy, (could be bent to be a tavern, more or less), but here they serve sandwiches, which fly to the tables where they are ordered, with their own wings? xD
Word suggestion: Christ-Like
Also, the last drawing reminded me of the Flexile Sentry
I want you to know that i really love your ideas and perpective in dark fantasy world building. Please make more vids cause I've been watching them nonstop ever since one of your vids got recommended to my account
The J guy is Jack and the word you were looking for when you talked about "club clubs" is a suit of clubs. As in, Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades are the four suits of cards.
Surprised a mimic monster in the shape of a club sandwich, that has wings when attacking, didn't come up. Unless I missed that part.
this channel had 30k subs yesterday, its up to 50 noww!!!! lesssgggooo!!! keep up the good work
love the end result cant believe your mind didn't go to a club sandwich though lol
Small moments like 10:33 are just really cool, knowing that you’re so brilliantly skilled at what you do and enjoy messing around along the way :)
W for big kissers, am I right?
My first thought given the words was a sort of peacock that sandwiches itself between its wings, but the little “eyes” that they have on their feathers were the playing card club symbol.
The king launches gold coins into the air like mortars, the queen spins in a circle once and you have to dodge under her gaze, and Jack (sometimes) sprays acid around them so you have to hit them with a ranged attack
That’s awesome! I’m definitely telling my friends about you, I have a feeling your work will become a household name one day!
This would be such a cool boss fight!! Love it
Love the content you should look into Journey the solo role playing game. Gives a great method for having your travel explore different areas kinda randomly based on your interests in the world but might give you some ideas.
Winged Club Sandwich? My idea was like, a club and a sandwichshop in one. It has a bouncer with wings
Just recently found this channel and the content is really good. It seems your really creative
A club sandwich with wings is a good concept!
This is pretty good. What a great video, just add some stream highlight and some finishing touch then you get a probably easier video making process.
My names Jack seduced the queen and the king, nobody can match my grind 😂
(Subbed btw your art is god like keep it up man)
Just found your channel and I washed like three videos in a row, this rocks im totally subbing
Don't feel bad and keep going. You need a bit of Miscast's philosophy in your life 😁.
Everithing looks interesting and we're holding our colective breath, sooo...great job
What if there were different variants that did different things based on the types of cards? Like the Jack of Hearts would spew poison but the Jack of Spades would shoot icicles?
They should function as a vending machine. King drops a coin of his thung and the queen catches it with hers then jak gives you the present in a form of a poison ball or dart
I thought about like a pub or club on a floating island for witches or mages who are able to fly
I got an idea for you guys.
A chess game between a man and death that drags on as every move is calculated on the part of the man. Sitting across from death he finally wins. But then realized this was not the first game. The one that counted. He is given the ability to see every game he has played over the millennia. He remembers his bet at the beginning. The loss. Then. He forgets and is sitting before a chessboard
I imagine the King, Queen & Jack each have a different Hypnotic affect on weak or untrained minds.
Using them to slow & distract, while they make their 3 armed attack.
1 arm each, on the reverse side. Each head having to rotate to 180° or more to swing their weapon.
Taking turns spinning to weaken, attack & defend.
Moving inexplicably on the 4th, movement, totem; like a Chess Piece on a Roomba.
King's Command: Causes prey / enemies to bow, paralyzed.
Queen's Beauty: Causes prey / enemies to want to serve her hand & foot.
Prince's Charm: Causes prey / enemies to drop their weapons and embrace him.
Resist the King: Do not marvel at his Majestic Voice. Focus on his Malicious Tone.
Resist Queen: Do not marvel at her Outer Beauty. Focus on her Putrid Stench.
Resist Prince: Do not marvel at his Glamorous Offers. Focus on his Effeminate Wussiness.
Weaken the King by Denying his divine right, lineage, nobility
Weaken the Queen by Discrediting her beauty, complimenting her Wig, her Mask, her Corset, her tailor.
Weaken the Prince by rejecting his character, mocking his soft hands & lack of skill, wounding his ego,
Attack the Prince Totem's Smile (Knock Out Teeth)
Attack the Queen Totem's Mask Straps
Attack the King Totem's Crown of his head
So cool! I have a few words for you if you'd like
Despair
Flail
Liquid
Armet
Paint
Love Your Art!!
There's an enemy similar to that totem version in Kid Icarus Uprising!
Great Video. Loved It. I prefer raw intimate process, over polished, distant, cold.
The story teller traveling with the witch hunters sounds like Croaker from the black company
Your stuff is good, worry not brother
2:15 there actually is an enemy with a similar concept to this in Enter the Gungeon called a "Shambling Round", it visually resembles a totem pole and loses its current lowest segment at certain health thresholds, it's attack pattern changing with each section it loses
edit: coincidentally, as it was mentioned that the enemy concept in the video would be a bullet hell, the enemy I talked about is from a bullet hell game
Having both sandwich and club immediate immediately made me think if some kind of high end subway like restaurant. Throw in winged and you could have it set on a flying island or maybe it's a travelling restaurant using a blimp. Just goes to show how differently these prompts can be taken haha
well a club sandwich is a thing (3 layer sandwich)
Personally I thought of a clubhouse sandwich with wings lol
I'm not entirely sure how 'winged club sandwich" turned into bisexual Rasputin, but I was not disappointed
A club sandwich with a side of wings
This video got a good chuckle out of me
a flying merchant who sells club sandwiches
I did this with friends suggesting an adjectice and a noun and ended up drawing am incandescent ferret. Yea. Like the kight bulb
Here's an idea for a routine to stick to, if you're looking for a solution for consistency.
You've already established your world and the two nations that live in it. That's great.
Everytime you want to make something but don't know what you want, use a word randomizer to select one of these words.
Creature, spell, weapon/item, character, or location/environment.
Then flip a coin to determine which nation it will be in. Or you could incorperate a third option for both.
Boom. Now you have what you want to draw, with what nation's aesthetic you want to use.
Then use the word randomizer that you used in this video to create said thing, and watch your world expand!
Please note that this is just a sugestion from an outsider observing a frustrated artist. I am not trying to boss you around or anything like that.
That being said please at least try this system once, to determine if you like it or not. Something is better than nothing.
I wish you great luck.
love the 'ta da'
Just saying... when I first listen those words, I think about a sentient sandwich monster atacking with a winged mace, maybe a templar/cleric/paladin stereotype sandwich monster...
lol youre fun and funny. where do u stream
um, may I ask where you stream? or do you stream? cuz you definitely sound like you were talking to an audience
You can't see Jack's luscious lips in the final version!
You can’t see Jack at all aha
My brain immediately dissected sandwich separating it into sand and witch so a desert witch or a witch that manipulates sand
Thought this was gonna be about a club that club enthusiasts could join lol
My first thought was of a club sandwich with wings
6:18 well that's relatable, 10:17 are we being sus today 😳
