Complete the Loom & Chant Project: Insights and Final Presentation
We’ve reached the end of this series documenting the creation of Loom & Chant, an ambitious project that combines design, brand development and visual identity, with digital artwork and fantasy worldbuilding.
In this video, I talk about how it went and what I took away from months of development and production that I hope to inspire or entertain you a little bit, if not give you a more honest look behind the sheer amount of work it takes.
I treat this as a proof of concept for future work that I’ll continue sharing with you in the future.
I really hope you enjoy the final presentation on my website and the videos I shared with you while creating this fun and complicated project.

Custom Wood DM Screen for Epic Game Masters

    My current struggle in visual art is rendering/shading hair and skin especially, so watching you do it in a style and at a level that I hope to reach is certainly inspiring and helpful! I'm more of a writer than a painter, though, so your last proposition intrigued me. Maybe I'll send an email your way.

    I myself also desperately struggle with patience, i think it is mainly because i simply like rendering most so i try to like rush to that part, but that always leads to me missing some fundamental mistakes which is such a pity actually, I'll definitely try to focuss more on patience from here on out!!

    A learning experience from my own builds. I built myself several low budget DM screens over the years. Usually with ¼” plywood. I’ve never been happy with the gap created from hinges. This last screen I made, rather than using hinges. I used 2” wide nylon strapping and hot glued that vertically down the entire edge between panels. It’s held up good for over 3 years, and that’s with being bounced around in a DM travel pack.

    Wondering if a wood wax would improve the finish post-staining? I've used wax on a few projects and the finish is a lovely satin smooth feel.

    • @aelorun
      @aelorun 8 месяцев назад

      I suppose it would matter on the stain and how much it gets into the wood? My immediate worry would be for the panels to be waxy and oily after, if the wax doesn't get absorbed by the wood properly because of the stain. Could be an interesting experiment regardless, thank you for the idea.

    In 1976, I built the first Stand-up for my father's D&D sessions. The next year, we marketed it as the Judges Shield, a full year before TSR followed by producing their version, the DM Screen. The first was made from cutting a Beatles White Album, and taping, gluing the charts in place. It was primary used to hide his materials, and maps, NOT his rolls.

      I avoided using magnets because it would've added to each panel's thickness, unless I found a way to carve slots for them. However, I found two-sided sticky tape meant for carpets that worked well in the end!

    looks fantastic - and I love the idea of using gold leaf. I don't have the skill (or vision/imagination) required to design such a great looking cover for my own screen - but I admire the fact that you not only had the skill, but the vision. well done, and happy gaming.

  • @2dividedby3

    It looks beautiful the only drawback I saw was the plastic straps I know wyrmwood use acrylic sheets on there screens but I would just use some metal fastenings to hold the plastic strips like the ones buts with rubber strap handles.

  • @Meglin1461
    @Meglin1461 Год назад

    You can definitely use a varnish over it once the staining is done. A matte varnish woukd work well, but don't apply it to the gold leaf. You will need to brush the varnish on to avoid it. I would also suggest using magnets for the inside. That way you can use them to hold all your paper and notes on the inside, amd depending on the strength of them, they won't budge. Both of these tips you can use on this board without having to make a v5 😊

I developed a whole website on a server with 4 dedicated instances of Foundry VTT customized to support dnd 4e, dnd 5e, Starfinder, pathfinder 1e, and pathfinder 2e (my main game)….I designed massive complex multilevel battlemaps for entire towns, with stairs, roofs, and even balconies (all interactive like a video game)….the amount of time I spend putting my technical career to use for free is a matter of pride for me. I expect my players to have intense games that I GM. I even have co-GMs to help with story, prep, and map making…..incase your wondering why I have 4 instances of foundry VTT…it’s so I can teach and encourage players to GM their own games (already have a few starting theirs up. It’s like a whole community. Thanks for the video :)
