'nice little hellscape with nightmare birds' martina's bob ross segment is actual gold lmao 😭😭

[Jazza]

I'm honoured, thanks for the salute! This project was absolutely MIND BLOWING! stunning work as always!! ❤

[BitRetroGhost]

Martina channeling her inner Bob Ross is the best:
"This is your world. You can put in as many demonic creatures as you like... "

[CyberWolf]

This is mind blowing. 11/10

If the LED lights flickered or moved in a wave pattern or both. It could add the extra flare of the fire changing

Forced perspective, forced lighting, LEDs, dioramas, epoxy, "furniture" building. As an artist myself, this is my favorite project yet. No shortage of ambition or commitment. You deserve every single view you get.

It was awesome seeing Hansi being more active in the building and filming! You can tell over the years he’s gotten more comfortable with this, such a cool project guys!!! Great job!!!!

[margethordottir]

I love seeing more of Hanzi in this video! The dynamic between Hanzi and Martina is the best!

[SuperBlondenerd]

This project literally had EVERYTHING I LOVE about Nerdforge!! From silly humor, Martina's painting, having more Hansi in the video, building dioramas, resin pours, lighting magic and just truly a nerdy, awesome project!! One of my favorites hands down! Well done!! <3

"He who works with his hands is a worker. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."
Best wishes from Tuscany (Italy)! I'm a small crafsman (leather and wood), i have been following you since years! You are fantastic artists, you work with heart!

[MoltenImaginings]

Some of my favourite things about this video are: a very energetic Hansi, sweet Nori, using plaster to fortify the moulds (great idea), The giant gem, the lights, the epic montage dressed as an elf, the Hacksmith lightsaber (just randomly getting used!) the music (as always) the Bob Ross segment (all of it) the satisfying spray painting and of course the final result! (Looking exactly like the original but so much cooler with the mirrors in the portal).

[Eindkaas]

I haven't seen this mentioned enough: it looks sooo much like the card in the game! Really brought it to life. And that's coming from someone who's played this card in game probably hundreds of times over the years. Kudos.

I want that Bob Ross segment as a whole episode.... Also, "if you can't beat the adhd, become one with it" is going to be the quote I live by from now on.

[timisme]

I am really glad to see Hans taking a more forward roll in some of these videos. His practical view to Martina's chaotic energy is a perfect match! You really are an adorable pair. And my absolute favorite craft and art channel.

[FayinKay]

Seeing Hanzi being more active on camera and seeing elf Martina... This channel really excels at making me smile 😂😂

[missmanda]

honestly those mirrors at the end truly make it look like a portal. as a hearthstone fan of 9 years, i give this a deserved 10000/10. love it!

"Always start on the cool stuff" needs to be made into a hoodie or a T-shirt now😆

[bonfireandbrimstone]

Hansi having more and more screentime just adds the perfect amount of chaos and guidance. Cant get enough of the synergy of you two!

[ChibiChula]

This whole project is amazing! 🤩 I think the only tiny thing that I might have done differently is add something behind the blue jewel to either make it glow or reflect light. Even just sticking some aluminum foil to the back might have worked, though silver leaf or a larger sheet of mirror sticker would have been best. Adding a bit of light or some dichroic film to the resin (or both) would have made it look a tiny bit more magical. That's a small thing though. 😅

The Bob Ross segment had me cackling like a chibi demon. Very appropriate. 😂

Hanzi was so enthusiastic and cute during this project. It's so nice to see him getting more comfortable with being on camera. 😊

I was actually surprised that you hadn't heard about the mirror stickers before. It's very common for crafters and for people with kids or pets that want to have mirrors without the danger. It comes in small sheets for cards and crafts like the ones you found to large rolls generally used for putting a full length mirror on the back of a door with no extra weight. I think you can even find color tinted versions, gold mirrors are the most common I've seen apart from normal mirror sticker. It's pretty awesome stuff. 😁👍🏼

I'm so impressed with this whole thing. Well done! 👏🏻😲

Hiya, just a tip with liquid latex for molding, you can add flour to it to thicken it however much you need so you can build it up and use it like a clay. To smooth it out, just use more latex!! I've use this method for a lot of my textured artworks and molds, and many also use this method for sfx makeup. 7:11

I love the YouTube art community and how supportive and collaborative they are. Jazza calling out NerdForge with the rugs and then Martina calling out Jazza with the card dioramas. I've followed both of these channels for years this just makes me dance inside 🥰
Oh and as far away as they are from each other, I NEED a collab someday!
