I painted a 20 FEET long mural in our studio!
Some of our projects have stayed in our storage room collecting dust for a while, and so it is time to give them a worthy home! I tried using spray cans for the first time (you know, the type you can make cool graffiti with if you know what you're doing) and acrylic paint, and created a custom Nerdforge-themed mural in our storage room! Now we can finally make a little showroom in the corner for our previous projects!

"It looks so easy on video, how is it so hard in reality?"
Martina just realising how we all feel while watching her videos.
I’m new to the channel. It was pretty impressive to me, but judging from your comment, lol, I definitely need to check out this 10 metre mural!
Literally us who can only draw a stickman feel like !!
@@paulwoodford1984 Martina's ass is ALWAYS mythic-tier. Her painting is pretty good too, though.
@@1x1.studio I can't stay within the lines when I draw stickmen
@@mike02454 XD
How you spend hours doing insane projects like these, I will never know. The dedication is why I subscribed (and also the beautiful results)
i agree with you god damn shes epic at it
Its called being N artist..Ull never understand it until u get to have talent which by this question it clearly shows u have no talent and if u do,u dont put any effort in it
I think the first step is to be good at it, and the second is to like it. With this combo you can do stuff for a long time without getting tired.
@@Darryldesiderium Well, the less talented you are, the more time you can spent on a project. The only thing you really need is dedication and the discipline to pull through. And maybe a hint of perfectionism helps as well.
Granted, it will always turn out better, if you are also "talented" on top. But anyone can gather skill and muster discipline :)
Truue
I love how it's a fantasy version of the three of them: the dog in his armor, a fierce warrior Hansi, and Martina with her vibrant hair and potion bottles, and even her missing finger. ♥️
I've been watching Nerdforge for at least a year at this point and I didn't realize Martina was missing a finger until I read this comment and got very confused- I guess I was always too focused on the art project to notice lakdshg
@@Squish_Squash me too :P
I don't want be rude, but how she lost her finger?
@@Dragon2OOOO I'm also curious about this, I didn't notice her missing finger at all
@@Dragon2OOOO I *think* it was an accident with a circular saw a few years ago. I’m not positive, but I believe it was 2018 or 2019?
Hansi and Martina did a QnA on Instagram at the beginning of the year and she said that her finger was "eaten by a tablesaw while renovating the house". I think they also mentioned a rough date but I don`t remember that one
For me it was quite funny (as an artist who works a lot with spraypaint) to see you testing out all the caps. I feel like most people underestimate how difficult working with this is.
Was a struggle for me too at first and it actually needs a lot of practice as every new art medium needs, but you will get the hang of it. Mostly it's control of the pressure you put on the cap, working quick to not have too much paint in one spot and using your whole bodyflow to make cleaner lines. Learning which caps and which cans work best for what you want to achieve is of coursetime consuming, but also very worth it. And of course as I said lots and lots of practice...
You did pretty well for your first time though.
I love when Martina discovers something new and gets all giddy. And that she’s constantly pushing herself to learn new things.
meanwhile my depression and anxiety has prevented me from trying new things for like 10 years lmao
@@sn98886 I feel that 😩
Spray painting looks incredibly difficult. I am so like this tho "let me take on an epic task in a medium I've never used and spend butt loads of money doing it" then reality hits and I realize just how deep I jumped into the water 😂. It turned out absolutely beautifully
I love that you're always going out of your comfort zone to learn new art. As always a beautiful piece Martina.
Take notes always finding new ways to trying something different its the key to life.😉😉
@@i9x321 so true
I love how you gave the New Thing your best with effort and research. Then you acknowledged that it was a skill that was hard to master WITHOUT degrading yourself. Then you went back to what you know well in a good headspace. And showing that process on camera is way cooler than the final result! Great role model moment
The thing about graffiti is that it's not meant really to do small integrate designs, and they are meant to be looked from afar. The fact that you made such detailed design and _sorta_ stayed in the lines is incredible focus for the task.
*Intricate
@@HAL9000. intricate*
Yeah, English is not my first language, i have to write those types of words by ear and trust the autocorrect, so there might be some mistakes.
this is not really traditional graffiti though with the markers and small brushes for the line work and all the masking with tape. heck one might argue using a projector is kind of cheating.
not that it really matters but this is more of a mixed medium art piece than true graffiti.
Graffiti is not to be meant to be looked afar. Does, Rime, Augor...
Seeing the finished product, there was no way you were going to achieve that level of detail and line work with just spray paint at any skill level.
Having said that, combining both mediums and finishing it off with your strengths, you ultimately achieved something that you wouldn't have been able to do with just a brush.
10/10 for the beautiful hard work you put into the project and not giving up despite being frustrated at your earlier results. 😁
you'd be amazed at the level of detail and realism some graffiti artists manage to achieve with just spray cans.
@@zwenkwiel816 yeah, but they do typically work a little larger than this. Take that into consideration
@@davidbooher5559 typically yes, Like I know very few people that could pull off lines this thin cleanly and consistently with just a spray can but it is possible. (also if you get good at cutting your lines with your fill color you can "cheat'' quite a bit)
of course that is outside of the reach of this video and doing it this way made way more sense in this case.
@@zwenkwiel816 thanks 🙏
You are a phenomenal artist, Martina! Fantastic job Nerdforge!
The painting turned out amazing. It would be really cool too, another painting behind the dioramas shelf, to "set the landscape", something like a sky at the end of the day, with that magical touch of red tones or even, since they are in the northern hemisphere, an aurora boreal. Congratulations on the amazing and inspiring work!
most of the worlds population is in the northern hemisphere, are you australian?
Great job showing how hard a new technique can be sometimes. Not a lot of artists would be that honest.
Love how you're so willing to try new things. Keep out the comfort zone y'all
U do know artist dont try new things..Its just art with different mediums wich by as am artist u get used to it pretty fast..thats why most artist do crazy things with something they've never used before and people think its mind blowing which it is..because the hands of an artist has been trained to use anything and everything
I really admire your dedication, not only to finishing these incredibly large pieces but also to maintaining your colored hair!!
LOL, in my town this exact company has a site where it produces the colors she used. They probably had problems translating some names of the product. Some sound goofy in German as well. Absolutely love how it turned out! Even more impressive as this was something new for you.
You should definitely add lights to the shelves so the dioramas can POP
Daaaamn, your polyvalence with art mediums (and your willingness to try mORE THINGS) will never cease to amaze me. And the finished piece is gorgeous! But also. Your arm definitely earned a good break xD
Looks so good! What IF…you added a sky/forest backdrop behind the castles and lighting under each shelf?? 🤩
I'm so happy you did a collab with Linus as I don't think I ever would've found your channel. As a partner to a tattoist I'm in awe of people with talent such as yourself! The way you bring your content in such a fun and open way keeps me coming back for more! Keep breaking down walls (and building them with bricks) 😂 Thank you for sharing your talent with the world 😊
adding the black lines is the most SATISFYING part 💯👌👌👌👌
A few years ago I also made a mural in my room with spray paint and oh boy do I feel you It was so fucking hard to have those clean lines and an even coverage. And pro tip to everyone you still wants to try it, please cover everything really good because the spray paint creates tiny paint particles which dry so fast that it turns into dust that gets everywhere
13:58 I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but she even painted her pinky missing in the mural. I love your attention to detail.😊❤
Handy measurements for everyone on how much paint you need for a mural:
Spray Paint: 1 can is about 100-150 sqft
Roll on Latex Paint: 1 gallon is about 400 sqft
Disclaimer: Obviously how absorbent and porous the wall is will change these amounts. Also these are not exact but a decent estimate for planning. I like to take my pre-made design and estimate how much sqft each color covers on the the wall then I buy what I need +10% more.
P.S. Spray paint is a big change of pace...but glad you enjoyed it (sorta) and the end result with the mixed media looks great. Excited to see more in the future.
Cheers!
P.S. Sorry it's in Imperial. I am a silly American.
Gonna take advantage of the fact that there’s not a lot of comments atm, y’all are really talented and me and my gf love your videos :)
Great job, as always. As you've discovered, spray paints are better for large areas and gradients. Then finish up with brushes for details and crisp lines.
Airbrushing the smaller details would probably be easier. She’s already mastered that.
Something I really liked about this video. *Be Martina, tries something new, doesn't get to the standard she wants, instead of bashing her head against the mural and making something shit, she stops and resolves the issue with her own established skills*
i've done graffiti for a few years and there is a lot you can achieve with can control and learning what you can do with a spraycan like different caps for different results, distance, speed, pressure on the cap, the way you move and hold the can etc, and there is no shame in using tape or a piece of cardboard to cover up and or get a straight line and just rollers to fill in large sections or a background color. you will get the hang of it and then combined with your talent you are going to enjoy it more and more and create amazing pieces of art. i would love to see another spraycan/graffiti video
I found you through the LTT collab... You and your team are a joy to watch! Amazing talent by all of you.
I love how you try different styles and do such amazing projects! Every new video I'm like "this one's my favorite... no this one... wait this one!😆Standing Ovation!!!!👏👏
I love her recovery from when things dont go as planned. Overcome and move on. Great mural.
For the first time EVER I'm watching a Nerdforge video where I can excitedly say, I get this because I've done it! Had a mural painting business years ago; the largest single mural I did was 1800 square feet (American here, I know. Feet vs meters! 🙄) on the back wall of a gymnasium, don't know how many sq feet total I've painted...
Was so impressed with this! I love it! It truly captures the spirit of who you all are and what you do and create! What a fantastic mural!
(Okay. I looked it up - 167 sq meters!) I miss painting murals. Unfortunately, 2 hip replacements later and arthritis in all the rest of my joints, I'm down to painting canvasses in my studio, no ladders or scaffolding any more. But I'm still painting!
Never give up, artists and makers!
Give my love to Lord Nori!
Beautiful!
You did amazing with the new aerosol medium. You’re a brave gal and it totally paid off.😍
Don't know if you've ever made a video about this, but as someone who struggles to even get started with overwhelming projects, I'd love to hear if you experience that kind of paralysis too sometimes. This is such a cool project!! 💚
That would be an amazing video. I’ve got projects I’ve been meaning to start for over a year but just thinking about them overwhelms me. Smaller stuff I’ll do okay but anything that feels important, yikes. 😅
The mural was looking really good... And then you started putting in the black outline... And BAM! WOW!
There is no shame in doing what works for you. No can master every new thing they try immediately. The fact that you tried is amazing.
You keep one upping yourself with these murals!!! Martina, Hanzi’s armor looks amazing! The gradients and lightning look so dope.
You're so talented, and your honesty about the difficulties of learning new things is refreshing! Beautiful work as always. 💛
The little laugh she makes whenever something works :D
I love how it became a marriage between your usual fantasy style and spraypaint art, with some popart influences as well. It turned out so cool!!!
Your time and dedication to these projects are amazing 👏, also great that you've showing a new method(spray painting) and how hard it is to master as it gives a new respect to those like Ten Hundred. 👍
That looks so cool! The black lines really make it pop. Glad the castle has a nice home now :)
Every time the hall of fame shows up, I always look to see the recurring ones and shout out Bjorn! like a toddler finding it’s favourite toy. I hope Bjorn knows they’re famous now😂
This is simply just a good fucking channel with preem content. Its always a pleasure to see an upload everytime.
Because of Martina's enthusiasm I just subscribed to their Patreon
I absolutely love the mural!!! She'd such an amazing artist, no matter the medium. She always makes it look soooo good!!!
I've watched many of your video, and while I'm not an artist, I LOVE how you paint! It's like an architect building a home: Foundation, Frames, walls, trim, lighting, details, done. And along the way I watch what you're doing and sometimes think "OMG! What have you Done! That's terrible!", but as you go back, layer, refine, define and detail, it all works perfectly and just looks incredible in the end. Evidence that you know what you are doing and I do not! Wonderful work!
Use Pieces of cardboard and hold it along where you want a straight edge, then spray along it. You can also use curved shape to better define your edges. Hold and align with your left, spray with your right. That is how they do "Ghost" flames on cars and motorcycles. Never mind, You figured it out...!
I love it! It kind of looks like your starting your very own Anime or comic book. See you next time.👍
Good on you for trying something new, and also for knowing when to switch to get the results you want. I'd love to see you travel over and get lessons from Smoe Nova in his factory space and advance the spray paint journey. Obviously it takes hundreds (thousands) of hours to get good, but I'm sure you'd progress quickly with the instructions of a master, and I think it would make some fun videos for both your channels. Keep up the great work!
ex graffiti artist here! i'm glad to see i finally have a leg up on Martina on something haha good job though!! it looks really good!
the projector idea was brilliant
WOW the mural looks so amazing! great video.
I mean OMG. I just randomly discovered your channel and watched some of your videos. They are INCREDIBLE!!! I love the way you smile and represent some beautiful lovely art even in this horrible world. I’m so impressed by the effort you put. It’s a big pleasure to know you, greetings from Turkey. ❤️🔥
The black and white outlines at the end made it pop ! That video was so honest and close to home because the project is you guys !! I know I already commented but I had to add
Man, watching the OG videos makes me glad you all switched gears because the stuff y’all do now is next level awesome. (OG stuff was cool too, but you get the point.)
I think the purpose of spray paint art is that it is not supposed to be in the lines. Most artists who use it, just freehand it. It is not supposed to be nice nad tidy from what I understand. Hence brushes were invented - to stay neatly in lines and make it all crisp and clean. And from what I know spraypaint is not used for details, it is mostly for the background and fades/blends.
not really I have seen spray painted murals with lines crisp and clean made with spray paint
@@leviathan19 Well yes, it is possible, but that is not the primary use of spray painting.
I love that you push yourself so much to try things totally out of your comfort zone, everything you produce is amazing ❤
I found nerd forge a few days ago and I can't stop binging they're videos
YES ME TOO !!!!
Seen plenty of pros use stencils and even brushes for the fine detail work. This is amazing!
I have a small you tube channel inspired by you, and i just wanna say that you bring the art to whole another level!
Great artwork. I have subscribed.
Hi Martina! I discovered your channel by accident (thank you, Facebook!). So, I've watched some of your videos and have to say that your creations are fantastic!
I'm looking forward to watching your previous videos and also each of your following videos.
thats why you draw the lines after you put the base paint down - the color goes where it goes. sometimes you just have to go with it.
also: extra thicc outlines
A simple answer would be stenciling with a varied radius stencil so you can line up what you need for the radius you're working on (think sea shell shape).
As usual it looks fantastic
Love that Hansi is the larger forger of two. Although Martina is the face and main artist of channel, Hansi is the backbone of it, which some people tend to forget or don’t know.
Wait there's two different people?
Martina is an amazingly gifted artist!! Hansi is so lucky to have a partner like her!!
they are lucky to have each other. everyone is gifted just in a different way.
It should be illegal to be this talented.
Nerdforge drop on a Saturday night. Awww yeahhh, my night just went from good to great!
Это наверное, одна из самых крутых ее работ. Потрясающе, просто 🔥🔥🔥
Definitely. I really like that she included herself and her team.
OMG GIRL WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR CYBERPUNKY TECHWEAR HOODIES? 😭 I love them so much!!!
Also- the art turned out amazing!!! It's such a big lift to the whole room! Please do more videos of the makeovers and stuff in the studio! It looks so cozy!
They're from Fabric of the Universe ☺️
@@Nerdforge Omg thank you!!!
8:11 Nori looks so happy! OMG!
That's the very best pictorial translation of yours... that's awesome. Whoa!
The effort it takes, jesus.
Ikrrr-
Hola skjera Bagera, soy de Latinoamérica, vivo en Bolivia, veo tus videos desde hace meses y me encanta tu trabajo, las cosas que creas, tus pinturas, tus dioramas, tus cosplay y tus ideas grandes y locas que todas resultan tan bellos y muy atractivos, y cada videos nuevo que suben me provoca mas pasión para crear mis obras personales, para mi eres un gran ejemplo a la que seguir
Me encantaría ver tus videos doblados al español, puede que no tengas muchos ingresos para hacerlo pero te recomiendo contratar la organización UNILINGO que se encarga doblar canales que hablan ingles al español
un abrazo y gran y poderoso like de tu fan desde bolivia
I love how honest and dedicated this channel is with its stuff and content.
I tried spray painting before and felt your pain. I had the same problem and I love how you show that you are actually struggeling with it as well instead of glossing over it.
Когда думаете что эта сумасшедшая леди не сможет снова вас удивить она выдаёт вот такие вот сумасшедшие, прекрасные и колоссальные работы, БРАВО!😍
I would really love to see Martina make armor like the one she made for herself for Hansi and they could be like a knight couple!!!! Just my own opinion but I love Nerdforge been watching for close to 2 years and I still love them hope they take care of themselves and can't wait to see what they make next!!
Thanks for another amazing video!
I think Martina approached the piece more like a painting than a mural, there is so much small details and the outlines were so small. Also graffiti artists usually start from the top and then proceed to the bottom to avoid leaks showing in the work.
I don't know much, but I think the mural turned out great so nothing really went wrong in the end. :)
I LOVED this one! A bit out of the norm for your typical style, which is a cool change of pace. I would like to see you guys soon make something along the lines of a computer monitor table with USB ports, flip up monitor (it is flipped over when not in use), built in speakers, and LEDs all along the edges.
I know this is a old video but i suggest trying the yellow universal cap its alot softer then the cream cap, but still can get a very sold line, also with sorta less chance of dripping, definitely killed it!
This is why I love RUclips. So Super talented people like you can do this stuff for a living. Started on your PS5, Xbox and Pc videos but now im just binging others.
For fine lines you move can closer but move can a LOT faster.
This will help with blur and drip.
Looks amazing by the way :)
I agree with a lot of the other comments. You did a great job combining the two mediums. I hope you keep trying new things that are out of your normal comfort zone, it is one of the best ways to grow.
I remember seeing some artists that had a couple curvy cardboard stencils that had concave and convex edges of varying curvature they would hold at various positions to mask out hard edges when spray-painting; I don't remember much of the actual technique, but those swirly shapes kinda left an impression
Stencils are a spray painter's best friend
I know a good way to stay in the lines with spray paint is to use cut outs of paper/ board to keep the section you don’t want painted blank
Martina's work is like no others- simply amazing
It's like an uncut diamond when art or Creations or blurry 😊🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽I still looks great
I loved when you did the skin, it really fleshed it out
Cap please need songtitle 11:11, love it!
What an amazing piece of art, love the colors you choose.
My God the mural is beautiful. If I may suggest, there are those cheap Ikea side tables that you can get pretty much free or dirt cheap if people are moving out or something. Garage sales are always contain hidden gems. Main reason I suggest this is because I feel like with how big some of your projects are, they deserve their own little space to be able to showoff your showcase better :D but my God this is amazing.
here from LTT Cyberpunk PC collab and binge watched many vids this week. Amazing channel.
I use spray cans for painting models. I found that for crisp lines you should mask the area, and start with light colors and progress to the darker hues. I even have used that technique for a very large matte painting for an amateur film. It works.
Girl, you did an AMAZING job!! There is absolutely no problem going back to your roots, no matter what you do it turns out awesome!! 💚💚💚
watching hte black lines tie everything together was mind blowing
i love how in the final results you can see she drew herself with her missing finger. i just think that's really beautiful and touching and i mean absolutely no mean things towards her.
Loved that you branched out into new materials and techniques you haven't tried before. The mural came out EPIC. I hope you continue experimenting with paint cans. Maybe the next time you do a big project with paint cans you could collaborate with a graffiti/paint can artist so they could demonstrate some of the techniques IRL to teach you while contriibuting to the piece. that would be epic
The corner where the mural meets the white wall, you should hang some cool fabric down it to blend it better into your shelf and projects :)
You should do a collab with a spray paint artist creator and have them teach you how to spray paint (something more attainable). Looks great though and well done for trying to do something outside your comfort zone. Hats off to you!
