Yes, I think he did a fantastic job of keeping it detailed enough to make it recognizable. It IS a very complex château, but one of my favourites. Love that he chose this one with all of the trees 😊
Yeah! I admire him so much for this personality trait, his work is always so detailed and inspiring. I try to achieve the same with my art and watching him work is very soothing and inspiring.
Man. I just cannot express the respect I have for all the effort in your work! Damn glad to see you are growing so large! You truly deserve it!!! Someday I wish to own one of your works for sure!!!!
As the centuries passed, it's duty never waivered. It's faith that the king would one day return never faltered. But, deep inside it's heart, it knew that time would never come. If it could weep, it would. Though it would always remain steadfast in its charge, it would always harbor a sadness. Though the King's castle might fade to nothing, The creature would always remain.
I LOVE how you added a dark layer of resin on the very bottom. It looked like a layer of dust or ash. I really like how the broken ruins stick out of the bottom layer of dark resin. its really nice affect!

Perhaps the creature is not waiting for the King's return, but the creature is the King himself, waiting for someone to break the curse. Perhaps that is why the castle was abandoned, for the King's subjects believed the King was murdered by the creature and they feared for their own lives.
There once was a king in a far off land. From a castle in the middle of a lake he ruled justly, tempering his rule with kindness and compassion. He was greatly loved by the people and many brought him gifts, but he would always refuse. He cared not for the riches and luxaries of the role, but only for the prosperity and happiness of his people. One day, an envoy from a far off land brought a feeble sea creature before the king. "A delicacy of our lands" the envoy proudly proclaimed, "They were thought to be extinct, but were lucky to find one more. We bring it before you as a gift so that you may taste the finest dish of our lands." The people were stunned when he accepted the gift, but it was not for himself that he took the offering. When he looked upon the creature he saw its eyes were that of a scared child, and sensed an intelligence that was not unlike a human's. After he sent the envoy on its was he took the creature and released it into the waters surrounding his castle. Everyday the king would go out and feed the creature the finest food he could offer and speak to it. The people watched as the creature grew, fueled by the King's love, from a frail, scared creature into a imposing and loyal companion. However despite the love the people and the creature had for their king, there were those who envied him. His brother, a wicked and jealous man, plotted to overthrow him, so he could become the rightful king of the lands. The king hearing of this treachery, could not believe his beloved brother would do such a thing. He sent a letter to his brother to meet him at the far off fields where they used to play together. He hoped that his brother would remember the times of their childhood, put aside this needless jealousy, and reconcile with him. The brother accepted the proposal, and the king prepared for the journy. He went to his companion and stroked the creature's snout. "My friend, I will be gone for a time, but fear not I will return. Watch the castle until I return, as you always have" he told the creature with a smile. Then the king rode off. A month later his brother returned from their meeting, but the king did not. He declared that the old king never arrived and is missing, but in the mean time he will act as king of the lands. As he approached the castle the creature blocked his entrance. The usurper brother, annoyed by this, commanded the creature obey him, but it refused. Enraged, the usurper demanded the guards kill the creature, but they too refused, too scared of the sheer power of the guardian creature. The Usurper relented and stormed off commanding a new castle be built elsewhere. The usurper was a horrid ruler and spent frivolusly on luxaries, and oppulance. He depleted the treasury of the kingdom, and the kingdom collapsed. The subjects who had once come to visit the guardian slowly stopped coming, while one by one the castle caretakers left or passed away, and soon the castle laid empty. Centuries passed and the king and castle were forgotten by time, but the guardian remains watchful ever waiting for the king to return, reclaim his castle, and reunite with his greatest friend.
Beautiful as always! I adore that you make every single thing by hand, rather than printing it. Nothing says, "handcrafted" like making each individual brick!

Just one though so it can't be too bad." Then it cuts to him placing the tower next to several other handmade foam board towers, all with brick patterns.

Child: "Mommy, Mommy! I saw a monster in the lake!" Mother: "Dear, that's just an old tale. There's no monster in the lake." Child: "I saw it. Tell me the story about it again." Mother: "Very well. A long time ago, a great king ruled from the castle, his whole kingdom surrounding him from his hill. The king liked to collect things. He liked money and wealth but his favourite possession was a creature. A mighty beast he had captured and placed deep below his castle. This creature was like an eel with tentacles coming from its head. It has six eyes and a maw with razor-sharp teeth." Child: "Is that the monster?" Mother: "Hush now. All in good time. The king kept the monster in a small lake, where it would never see the light of day, with only the king and his guards to feed it and taunt it. That was until the princess, still only a child, snuck down one day and met the creature. In it's years of torment it had grown bigger, as long as two carriages. When it saw the princess it emerged, letting out a roar of anger as it smelt the king. The princess, however, didn't run. She didn't scream. She looked into one of the eyes of the creature and reached out a hand, placing it on the snout of the creature. The story says the princess would visit and feed the creature, the two becoming friends over the years." Child: "Then what happened?" Mother: "A few years later, a great disaster came to the kingdom. A flood quickly swept the kingdom away, threatening to fill the valley up with water. As the water quickly rose, the king tried to shelter his daughter but the flood would soon reach even the castle. As the king held his daughter, a large shape emerged from the water. The creature, now even bigger stared the king down, the years of enslavement burning in its eyes." Child: "And it ate them. That's what everyone says." Mother: "That is one version. Another says that the creature looked down the king, it's head larger than the castle gate. It then reached out a tentacle towards the princess. Despite the king's protests, the princess climbed onto the creature. The creature carried the princess away, leaving the king to die. The story doesn't end there. The creature carried the princess to a safe hill, where the flood could never harm her." Child: "It saved her?" Mother: "Yes. She was its only friend. The princess would then go on to live a happy life, never forgetting its friend that saved her." Child: *Yawn* "I like this story better." *The child falls asleep.* Mother: "Sleep well, my child." Mother: *Turns her head to the lake, seeing something move in the water by the castle.* "And you too, my guardian." Edit: Thank you, everyone. I just did this on a whim but I'm glad most of you enjoyed it. The real credit goes to Thalasso though for that amazing diorama.
This is a beautiful short story, I would love to try and write something like this. It would be so intriguing and honestly very well thought out, well done. This actually inspires me to try and make that story, to make those pages and to make that all seemingly come to life for others to see. Great short story, Tom.
I think it'd be a better idea if you opened a small museum for all your works so people from all over the world can visit and admire them. No other human-being deserves keeping these masterpieces for themselves :'(
I love looking at the creatures in the water like that just below the surface. It makes you think about the story that is behind it and is it a good creature or a bad one? How did the bridge get broken? All if a sudden all these questions and the diorama creates an entire story. How magical this is!
I don't understand how someone could "dislike" something so wonderful as this. The time you take to create your models, and then turn around and edit. I absolutely love watching you create things, especially the trees.
This brought me to tears. This relieved so much of my stress I can’t thank you enough. And what a beautiful trophy to show for such a perfect video. Keep doing what you love! It’s so awe-inspiring
@@StarkillerAyyan back then the castle has been fine and it was popular, until some soldiers came in and bombed it during the war, now she is destroyed and lonely, the rarely gets any visits. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ah yes the guardian. Long after the castle got destroyed and became abandoned the guardian came to keep her company so that way if any of the soldiers manage to get in he with break the bridge and once they fall in he eats them. -----____________________________________________________________________ There is your lore! Have a great day 😎
Just based on his info i suspect he took this as a reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_la_Mothe-Chandeniers He made it so mind blowingly good i could even find it by just Googleling. Astonishing work!
I don’t have words to tell how beautiful I find your artwork ❤️ And as a French viewer I have to say that it’s a huge honor for us to see that one of our french castle has inspired such a masterpiece !
Probably creating a 6 ft tall sculpture of the Eiffel tower is kinda hard, then creating a dollhouse of the Winchester home is medium, and who knows what the hardest is
I'm wanting to make one that has a kraken-like creature swimming around a sunken 18th century sailing ship wreck, as a modern ship sails above it on the surface.
The guardian is waiting someone from his master bloodlines for years and then finally he came the guardian said "ah at last you came now my job is done take care of the rest my master" and he disappearing in to the darkness
Absolutely incredible work!!! I’ve always loved the “abandoned and reclaimed by nature” aesthetic and watching you make dioramas with them is astonishing. It almost makes me forget about my actual thalassophobia
Woaw ! 😲👏 I am in France and I recognize this castle! it is the Chateau de la Mothe-Chandeniers, it was bought by 6,500 people (they are all co-owners of this castle now) and there have been no less than 25,000 donors to help in the restoration and conservation of this castle ! A beautiful story to save the heritage, and I find that your diorama represents it very well! A magnificent job as always
@Sir. Degenerate well you wouldnt know that would ya? Imagine this just swimming to an abandoned castle and seeing that! Your first thought would not be "maybe its a filter feeder" it would be "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT OH MY GOD I NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE"
@Sir. Degenerate It doesnt look like your typical shark does it now? And as OP mentions *Beneath you* you would have no chance of distancing from it since its body is built like a fin it would easily outspeed you, though you're not wrong that it could be friendly
Forgetting all the wire, clay and, epoxy for a minute. The things you are able to create with styrofoam and some paint are astounding, add everything else back in and you get every single one of your videos (which are all great)
I'm working on a custom setting for a TTRPG, and this build inspired me so much that I added an entire village, multiple characters, two local traditions, a long-ago battle, history about an abandoned castle and the young king who once ruled there, and a cryptid with a rich and varied mythology into the setting. Thank you for bringing beauty and joy to our world with your art, and for inspiring me to add more color and life to another, fictional world in the process. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
Amazing work again my friend. Your attention to detail is amazing. Very nice touch adding the roots of the trees 👍. Still I am a bit surprised how they resin didnt melt or deform the foam. The end result is fantastic. 👏👏
I may be wrong about this, but I think slow cure resins do not produce as much heat as the quick cure ones do. (p.s. Sorry if your question was rhetorical, I'm high and trying to be helpful.)
Yeah, I could what you mean.😓 Although, by comparison to a lot of other European mediaeval style or folly castles, this is a relatively simple boxy design.
*inserts Shia le Beouf "Just DO IT!" meme* Give it a go, man - start with a kit if scratch-building is too much. Loads of buildings/ruins kits out there. Building stuff is huge fun!
Every time you make a new diorama, I think to myself "this cant get any better" and every time, it gets better. I'm in awe of your work. You truly have a gift.
Every single time i watch him make abandoned places like these, it makes me want to look up the lore to find out more about what happened. And it is just so interesting, i live seeing this type of work and modeling, this is phenomenal. Great work dude.
@@atsubw I do, i got recommended so much i binge watch his video. I thought it was an art channel at first, turns out it's a channel about material engineering I got bamboozled and fascinated at the same time. There's also Y Nakajima if you like robotics, he made Thomas the destruction engine. Yeah my RUclips career is weird.
I feel like the guardian was protecting the family residing in the castle, but one day, a terrible accident happened, yet their screams never hit the water... The castle is probably abandoned now, their dead bodies littering the empty halls. But the guardian is still relentlessly protecting his family in belief that they're still alive... Kind of a sad thought. He just didn't get the memo. 😥
For those who disliked this vid I say beauty is in the eye of the beholder And most of us see the beauty of this The attention to detail Great work man 100 out of 10
Underrated. This guy needs more attention! I like his dioramas. The effort and hardwork he has to put in to these dioramas needs to be made into something he deserves!
Here's my story: The castle was ruled by a beautiful emperor" That had a surprisingly big guardian who protects the castle and the citizens" But, as the blood moon raises above the ground, a evil queen who wants to take advantage of the power that was held by guardian, decided to order a million waves of water to drown the emperor and it citizens,to make the guardian feel that his use to protect the emperor and the citizens was hopeless, but her plan back fired as herself drowning along the waves ,and to never seen again,.. "Legend says that the only last hope of the emperor was the guardian itself "And so the guardian held its power to protect the castle, as the last respects of its owner ,that lasted for years,
What if the Emperor got turned into the guardian ? back in the day he held giant feasts and whas loved by his people, know far and beyond. Yet the evil queen was jealous And so she changed her husband in a monstrous guardian that scared everyone from him and the castle away. So now he his al alone.
You should try doing more structural damaged buildings like broken/damaged windows/doors/etc, on your forgotten shrine diorama the shrine didn't look that abandoned or in disrepair. Just a suggestion. Keep up the awesome dioramas!
The thing is that not damage structure will create a conflict feeling inside your brain, and from there make it more uncomfortable and fear of something bad gonna happen become more real, i suggest that you should just keep doing finest structure.
He had a point but I think the reason why there is not that much damage is to showcase that this structure has been preserved overtime, or the nature just took care of it. You get my point?
Lol, I really do enjoy the definition of "easy" to some people. I understand that once you do certain things SO repetitious that you develop muscle memory and it's not that big a deal to you, but there were like 18 steps just to make that one simple little crown molding thing on the front of that tower! This person has impressive skill and enviable vision 👍
There’s so much reverence that it’s spellbinding. Centuries ago my family had a castle in Ireland left to ruin when Queen Victoria drove them out. No one looked back. And now, the last tower fell a decade ago and we all thought “oh well, none of our business”. Watching this though, I feel an odd sense of sadness knowing that I have no idea what it looked like. I hope someone appreciated it the way you do towards beautiful and haunting structures.
You sat on the edge of the great lake, near the abandoned castle everyone had cautioned you against going to. There were rumours, rumours of a great beast that lived in the lake, that guarded the castle with its life, even though the king had been dead for centuries, and nobody had inhabited the castle since. You didn't believe such children's tales. Something so large could not possibly sustain itself in the lake. And yet, as you sat there, you felt as if there was someone.. or something... watching you. It was a mildly uneasy feeling, however, you paid it no mind. As such, it came as a great shock when the water in front of you began to ripple and a sort of worm-like appendage rose out of the water. That was then followed by a large head of a monstrous-looking beast. You stared at it. It had 8 of those large tentacles, and several smaller ones on its chin. You wanted to move, as of course, to you, the creature was massive and frightening, but your legs did not comply. Once some of the shock of the initial appearance began to wear off, you noticed it was not doing anything to harm you. On the contrary, rather, it appeared to be looking at you sadly. Its six beady eyes were almost pleading. This was not a terrifying monster as the others had said, was it? It was not guarding, it lived here, but... it was lonely. Oh... You reached out to touch the creature. It moved a tentacle limb towards your hand, making an odd rumbling sound that seemed to be from joy. Or, comfort maybe? You weren't sure, but it sounded glad. You smiled. Despite its size, it appeared very friendly- like a big dog! You laughed a little to yourself as you began to pet the extended limb. The creature rested its head on the banks of the lake beside you. Its head was almost the size of your house, and yet you knew at this point that the creature did not wish to do you harm. "Mum, Mum! Tell me the story of the castle guardian again!" A small child called, currently tucked into bed. They were eager to hear the tale once more. "Alright, little one. Well, you see, there once was a king, who lived in a castle on a lake. The king was a most benevolent ruler and loved his people, however- there was one thing he loved even more. There was rumoured to be a large beast living in the lake surrounding the castle, protecting it. The king loved this creature, visiting it every day to provide company and extra food. However, one day, a war broke out. Not being the kind to stay at home and watch as his peoples were slaughtered, the king went out with his battalions. He did not come back. The castle was abandoned. The beast was unable to leave the lake- it was too large to swim far enough downstream. So, for centuries, it waited. It waited, and waited, and waited. But its beloved king did not return. It waited in solitude for who knows how long, until one day, a brave traveller- in spite of the rumours their village told of the beast- ventured to the banks of the lake, prepared to go and explore the great castle. They were a curious one. They did not believe the rumours to be true- they did not even think there WAS a beast. So, when the beast showed up on the shores, it frightened them. Quickly though, they realised the beast was not there to hurt them. The beast seemed lonely. This person felt bad for the large beast, who could not leave the lake and did not have anyone to talk to. Every day from then onwards, they visited the creature. They became very close friends. One day, a flood broke out. It provided just enough water for the creature to leave, but.. it did not. It did not want to leave its newfound friend and then be unable to return. The person realised that, with enough effort, they could perhaps deepen the streams, so that the creature could come and go as it pleased. After years, they had succeeded in doing so. It took a lot of effort. The beast could now leave and return as it pleased." "Mama, is the story true?" "It may be, my child. Goodnight now." "Aw... night-night." You smiled watching your child as they drifted off. Turning your head towards the lake, you spoke. "Goodnight to you too, my glorious guardian."
This is by far one of my favorites, besides the abandoned pool one. The atmosphere you've portrayed and replicated in this piece is so peaceful yet mysterious. The way the castle stands all alone, The guardian lurking beneath the surface almost waiting and watching. Its truly a magnificent piece!! 💚💚💚
The creature waited and waited, but the king never returned. Your work gives me the emotions of the creature. I’m new to this community. Thank you for showing me this

This creature was like an eel with tentacles coming from its head. It has six eyes and a maw with razor-sharp teeth."
Child: "Is that the monster?"
Mother: "Hush now. All in good time. The king kept the monster in a small lake, where it would never see the light of day, with only the king and his guards to feed it and taunt it. That was until the princess, still only a child, snuck down one day and met the creature. In it's years of torment it had grown bigger, as long as two carriages. When it saw the princess it emerged, letting out a roar of anger as it smelt the king. The princess, however, didn't run. She didn't scream. She looked into one of the eyes of the creature and reached out a hand, placing it on the snout of the creature. The story says the princess would visit and feed the creature, the two becoming friends over the years."
Child: "Then what happened?"
Mother: "A few years later, a great disaster came to the kingdom. A flood quickly swept the kingdom away, threatening to fill the valley up with water. As the water quickly rose, the king tried to shelter his daughter but the flood would soon reach even the castle. As the king held his daughter, a large shape emerged from the water. The creature, now even bigger stared the king down, the years of enslavement burning in its eyes."
Child: "And it ate them. That's what everyone says."
Mother: "That is one version. Another says that the creature looked down the king, it's head larger than the castle gate. It then reached out a tentacle towards the princess. Despite the king's protests, the princess climbed onto the creature. The creature carried the princess away, leaving the king to die. The story doesn't end there. The creature carried the princess to a safe hill, where the flood could never harm her."
Child: "It saved her?"
Mother: "Yes. She was its only friend. The princess would then go on to live a happy life, never forgetting its friend that saved her."
Child: *Yawn* "I like this story better." *The child falls asleep.*
Mother: "Sleep well, my child."
Mother: *Turns her head to the lake, seeing something move in the water by the castle.* "And you too, my guardian."
Edit: Thank you, everyone. I just did this on a whim but I'm glad most of you enjoyed it. The real credit goes to Thalasso though for that amazing diorama.
That would be a sweet premise for a short story.
My god this story is so beautiful
This is a beautiful short story, I would love to try and write something like this. It would be so intriguing and honestly very well thought out, well done. This actually inspires me to try and make that story, to make those pages and to make that all seemingly come to life for others to see. Great short story, Tom.

I love looking at the creatures in the water like that just below the surface. It makes you think about the story that is behind it and is it a good creature or a bad one?

Q「あなたは、このジオラマを見て、どんな物語を想像しましたか？」
A「湖上の城へ渡ってはならない。あの城の守護者がそれを許さないからだ」
かつての
城邑が水底に沈む以前、かの城には『湖畔の王』と呼ばれる君主が在った。
周辺にある諸国より追われた祀ろわぬ民たち、行き場のない彼らをまとめ上げ窪地に小国を築いた一族の末裔にあたる人物だ。
城下の街一つ小さな国の中心には地域一帯の河川の水源となっている巨大な湖があった。
そして、そこには都市が生まれる遥か昔より一部の者たちから『湖の王』と呼ばれる龍と見紛わんとされるほどの威容を持つ巨大魚が存在していた。
『湖畔の王』は湖を眺めることを愛していたという。
王が幼いころから度々、湖の畔に伴さえ連れず一人立っている姿が見られしばらくして家臣が慌てた様子で連れ戻しに来るのだ。
ただ伴がいなくとも王が危険に晒されることはなかっただろう、王が湖の畔に立つ際は必ず巨大な魚の背鰭が湖上に立ち、時に並ぶ三眼が王をじっと見下ろしていたからだ。
『湖の王』がなぜ『湖畔の王』が訪れるたびに姿を現したのかは解らない。
王を連れ戻しに来た家臣も近くに住まう民たちも『湖畔の王』が『湖の王』に声を掛けたりと、そういった場面を見た事が無かったからだ。
ただ、王達はなにをするでもなく寄り添うようにそこに在っていたという。
湖の水が溢れ出し窪地にあった城邑の全てが水底に沈んだのは『湖畔の王』の時代だった。
逃げだした者も僅かにいたが、殆どが水に飲まれてしまったという。
『湖畔の王』は都市で最も高い土地に築いた城に暮らしていたため無事だったが、城から逃れることはなかった。
船を作らせ家臣や兵士や使用人たちに持てるだけの財を渡し二度と戻らないよう命じて、自らは一人城に残ったという。
最後に見られた『湖畔の王』は崩れた橋の上に立ち、離れてゆく船を見送る姿だった。
そして近くの湖上に浮かぶ巨大な背鰭も見えたという。
幾年月が過ぎて主を失った湖上の城が遺された。
廃城にはかつて城下の町が沈んだ際に持ち出し切れなかった財宝が眠ると言われ、噂を聞きつけた者がこぞって城へ向かったという。
だが、船を駆り湖上の城へと近づけばたちまち『守護者』と呼ばれる龍の如き威容を持つ巨大魚に襲われ皆底に沈む事になった。
『湖畔の王』も『湖の王』もいなくなった。代りに湖には『静寂の城』と『守護者』が在り続けたという。
「湖上の城へ渡ってはならない。あの城の守護者がそれを許さないからだ」
『守護者』は時折その背鰭を橋の側へと浮かべているという。

Ah yes the guardian. Long after the castle got destroyed and became abandoned the guardian came to keep her company so that way if any of the soldiers manage to get in he with break the bridge and once they fall in he eats them.

Woaw ! 😲👏
I am in France and I recognize this castle! it is the Chateau de la Mothe-Chandeniers, it was bought by 6,500 people (they are all co-owners of this castle now) and there have been no less than 25,000 donors to help in the restoration and conservation of this castle ! A beautiful story to save the heritage, and I find that your diorama represents it very well! A magnificent job as always
Your work is incredible! I was amazed by Boylie Hobbytime's videos but yours are just out of this world.👏👏👏
IMAGINE swimming to that castle and suddenly seeing THAT beneath you. It’s every thrill seeker’s worst nightmare.
That, my Dear, is called Thalassophobia! 😎
@Sir. Degenerate well you wouldnt know that would ya? Imagine this just swimming to an abandoned castle and seeing that! Your first thought would not be "maybe its a filter feeder" it would be "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT OH MY GOD I NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE"
@Sir. Degenerate It doesnt look like your typical shark does it now? And as OP mentions *Beneath you* you would have no chance of distancing from it since its body is built like a fin it would easily outspeed you, though you're not wrong that it could be friendly
@Sir. Degenerate Thanks, your point is good aswell

I'm working on a custom setting for a TTRPG, and this build inspired me so much that I added an entire village, multiple characters, two local traditions, a long-ago battle, history about an abandoned castle and the young king who once ruled there, and a cryptid with a rich and varied mythology into the setting. Thank you for bringing beauty and joy to our world with your art, and for inspiring me to add more color and life to another, fictional world in the process. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
Amazing work again my friend. Your attention to detail is amazing. Very nice touch adding the roots of the trees 👍. Still I am a bit surprised how they resin didnt melt or deform the foam. The end result is fantastic. 👏👏
I may be wrong about this, but I think slow cure resins do not produce as much heat as the quick cure ones do.
(p.s. Sorry if your question was rhetorical, I'm high and trying to be helpful.)
“It’s too difficult to do as it is, so I changed it to a simple structure.” That’s simple to you?! 🤯
Yes. That is so true. If I had the money (I'm young) I would buy that for 15,000 dollars. At a minimum.
I know right just how is it simple I mean come on how just how
Yeah, I could what you mean.😓 Although, by comparison to a lot of other European mediaeval style or folly castles, this is a relatively simple boxy design.
@@danielwhyatt3278 simple ??????

The guardian strikes me more as a beast of majesty than terror. It has the aura of a lion or wolf, a being that inspires awe.
I think it has the aura of a lion because of the mane of tentacles it has.

I feel like the guardian was protecting the family residing in the castle, but one day, a terrible accident happened, yet their screams never hit the water...
The castle is probably abandoned now, their dead bodies littering the empty halls. But the guardian is still relentlessly protecting his family in belief that they're still alive...
Kind of a sad thought. He just didn't get the memo. 😥

Underrated. This guy needs more attention! I like his dioramas. The effort and hardwork he has to put in to these dioramas needs to be made into something he deserves!
Here's my story:
The castle was ruled by a beautiful emperor"
That had a surprisingly big guardian who protects the castle and the citizens"
But, as the blood moon raises above the ground, a evil queen who wants to take advantage of the power that was held by guardian, decided to order a million waves of water to drown the emperor and it citizens,to make the guardian feel that his use to protect the emperor and the citizens was hopeless, but her plan back fired as herself drowning along the waves ,and to never seen again,..
"Legend says that the only last hope of the emperor was the guardian itself
"And so the guardian held its power to protect the castle, as the last respects of its owner ,that lasted for years,
I like it
If your story is a movie, I’ll definitely watch it
What if the Emperor got turned into the guardian ?
back in the day he held giant feasts and whas loved by his people, know far and beyond. Yet the evil queen was jealous And so she changed her husband in a monstrous guardian that scared everyone from him and the castle away. So now he his al alone.

You should try doing more structural damaged buildings like broken/damaged windows/doors/etc, on your forgotten shrine diorama the shrine didn't look that abandoned or in disrepair. Just a suggestion. Keep up the awesome dioramas!
@Aww damm right
Nope shut up
The thing is that not damage structure will create a conflict feeling inside your brain, and from there make it more uncomfortable and fear of something bad gonna happen become more real, i suggest that you should just keep doing finest structure.
Awesome but ………… ??
He had a point but I think the reason why there is not that much damage is to showcase that this structure has been preserved overtime, or the nature just took care of it. You get my point?
Lol, I really do enjoy the definition of "easy" to some people. I understand that once you do certain things SO repetitious that you develop muscle memory and it's not that big a deal to you, but there were like 18 steps just to make that one simple little crown molding thing on the front of that tower!

There’s so much reverence that it’s spellbinding. Centuries ago my family had a castle in Ireland left to ruin when Queen Victoria drove them out. No one looked back. And now, the last tower fell a decade ago and we all thought “oh well, none of our business”. Watching this though, I feel an odd sense of sadness knowing that I have no idea what it looked like. I hope someone appreciated it the way you do towards beautiful and haunting structures.
Just when you think he’s done, he pulls out the tiny shrubs. Ngl this thing looks awesome!
Never clicked on a video faster in my life
You sat on the edge of the great lake, near the abandoned castle everyone had cautioned you against going to. There were rumours, rumours of a great beast that lived in the lake, that guarded the castle with its life, even though the king had been dead for centuries, and nobody had inhabited the castle since. You didn't believe such children's tales. Something so large could not possibly sustain itself in the lake.
And yet, as you sat there, you felt as if there was someone.. or something... watching you.
It was a mildly uneasy feeling, however, you paid it no mind.
As such, it came as a great shock when the water in front of you began to ripple and a sort of worm-like appendage rose out of the water. That was then followed by a large head of a monstrous-looking beast. You stared at it. It had 8 of those large tentacles, and several smaller ones on its chin. You wanted to move, as of course, to you, the creature was massive and frightening, but your legs did not comply.
Once some of the shock of the initial appearance began to wear off, you noticed it was not doing anything to harm you. On the contrary, rather, it appeared to be looking at you sadly. Its six beady eyes were almost pleading.
This was not a terrifying monster as the others had said, was it? It was not guarding, it lived here, but... it was lonely. Oh...
You reached out to touch the creature. It moved a tentacle limb towards your hand, making an odd rumbling sound that seemed to be from joy. Or, comfort maybe? You weren't sure, but it sounded glad. You smiled. Despite its size, it appeared very friendly- like a big dog! You laughed a little to yourself as you began to pet the extended limb. The creature rested its head on the banks of the lake beside you. Its head was almost the size of your house, and yet you knew at this point that the creature did not wish to do you harm.
"Mum, Mum! Tell me the story of the castle guardian again!" A small child called, currently tucked into bed. They were eager to hear the tale once more.
"Alright, little one. Well, you see, there once was a king, who lived in a castle on a lake. The king was a most benevolent ruler and loved his people, however- there was one thing he loved even more. There was rumoured to be a large beast living in the lake surrounding the castle, protecting it. The king loved this creature, visiting it every day to provide company and extra food. However, one day, a war broke out. Not being the kind to stay at home and watch as his peoples were slaughtered, the king went out with his battalions. He did not come back. The castle was abandoned. The beast was unable to leave the lake- it was too large to swim far enough downstream. So, for centuries, it waited. It waited, and waited, and waited. But its beloved king did not return. It waited in solitude for who knows how long, until one day, a brave traveller- in spite of the rumours their village told of the beast- ventured to the banks of the lake, prepared to go and explore the great castle. They were a curious one. They did not believe the rumours to be true- they did not even think there WAS a beast. So, when the beast showed up on the shores, it frightened them. Quickly though, they realised the beast was not there to hurt them. The beast seemed lonely. This person felt bad for the large beast, who could not leave the lake and did not have anyone to talk to. Every day from then onwards, they visited the creature. They became very close friends. One day, a flood broke out. It provided just enough water for the creature to leave, but.. it did not. It did not want to leave its newfound friend and then be unable to return. The person realised that, with enough effort, they could perhaps deepen the streams, so that the creature could come and go as it pleased. After years, they had succeeded in doing so. It took a lot of effort. The beast could now leave and return as it pleased."
"Mama, is the story true?"
"It may be, my child. Goodnight now."
"Aw... night-night."
You smiled watching your child as they drifted off.
Turning your head towards the lake, you spoke. "Goodnight to you too, my glorious guardian."
This Is so perfect OMG
Awwww I love it!!!
