"The dioramas themselves are not made to museum diorama standards..." still your most simple dioramas are waaay better than any diorama I've seen in any museum. Love your work, you inspire me so much!
I love the mystery of a scene that has not been fully fleshed out, it gives room for the mind to wander around in. I really enjoyed this build, the ambiance of the final shot and how it captured the feeling of a quiet moment really resonated with me!
I totally agree! I immediately started imagining the reason as to why she had stopped at this particular time and place and my mind just pictured a beautiful sunset over a dystopian cyberpunk city that she just had to stop for to take it all in, since these fleeting moments of peace and serenity have gotten so rare in her life. This diorama is so simple yet so beautiful, i absolutely love it
As always, what you call "good," I would call excellent! You are as good a modeler as you are a storyteller. As with your Wild Imaginary West, I hope that you will explore the world this young lady with the hover-scooter lives in with future "Concept Art" displays. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I love these types of dioramas. Like a little piece of cake cut out of a reality, and made in to something that creates thoughts and questions... The obvious cyberpunk theme is also right up my alley. :3
Love it. Ralph McQuarrie in 3D. The paint job came out great. BTW: Her friend drinks her coffee black (of course) and there is a Bear Claw and two doughnut holes in the bag. Just thought you should know. Excellent work, C!
I never thought that dioramas could be concept art. I find I quite like this way of thinking and will have to remind myself of it when i sit down to craft next. Lovely little build, great vid.
This reminds me so much of 'Tales from the Loop' by Simon Stålenhag. The mag lift concept, unique change in history, even the 'Wild Imaginary West' could be all wrapped into the same altered timeline. I love seeing your work and hearing more about your thought process when designing/creating a project. This one has really captured my imagination so thank you for the morning daydream. :)
I'd just wish a studio would pick up your imaginary wild west for a show or movie. I would love to see everything come to life. Like what happened to Tales from the Loop using Simon Stålenhag's art.
How can you say your dioramas aren’t works of art?? They’re amazing, incredibly detailed and imaginative. You are an artist dude. Extremely talented. ❤
i love this idea , and the philosophy behind it too ! looking at my own unfinished and taped together doodles as concept art really helped me feel better about rarely having time to "finish" something super polished your work definitely does wonders for the imagination, im a massive wild imaginary west fan and every addition makes me want more !! ❤
My favorite video of yours in some time Boylei, and that's not easy. If you do more like this, I shall look forward to them. You have a remarkable talent for implying a deep word from a relatively small piece
That’s a good point about creativity and the creative process in general. There seems to be this notion that ideas and stories must arrive fully formed in your head. But the human mind doesn’t work like that (at least not always). It’s like an artist staring at a blank page and wondering why they can’t think of any ideas. The mind needs something to start from. A seed that that our creativity can then germinate and grow. The most creative and well crafted worlds all started from a simple, singular idea.
I would love to see more Boylei Brain Builds on the channel! Wild Imaginary West is great and all, but I find myself gravitating more to your stand-out stuff! Do what your heart commands! Live freely!
This was so dope. I like that the girl is a bigger part of the story. I think your humans are usually treated very secondary to the monsters or machinery they're interacting with but in this case she's equal to the scooter and it's cool. She's cool. It's all cool.
Great work! I liked how the scooter was slightly leaning giving the feel that the rider was putting her weight on it. I really enjoy this type of diorama. Thank you!
The hover rail kitbashing was so incredibly satisfying seeing all the disparate parts together, but the final piece really speaks to me. The mood from the light is the perfect icing.
As much as I adore the Wild Imaginary West, this build was *chef's kiss*. It was also a good reminder that not everything has to be polished to the max (even if yours was).
This is the start of alternative 80’s. In a world that went fully nuclear power and has cheap electricity for everyone. Future models will contain neon strands and more seemingly impractical uses of electricity. Loved it❤
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Thank you for sharing. I've been modeling and painting for decades and have always wanted to kitbash a concept piece. This was perfect motivation to do so. A 10 minute video makes it seem so effortless while hiding the much larger amount of time it took, but the result is amazing.
All I can say is wow. Your eye to see the idea in full is amazing. I would like to thank you for inspiring me to start painting again. I love your work
This man is a legend. You are the reason that i started making dioramas and kit bashing. You are someone i look up to as inspiration and i thank you go that.
I LOVE this. And thank you for that part about setting away from what you normally do to "reboot" your creativity, I find myself in a rut right now and this concept has my brain bubbling.
beautiful video and message! This is what I view all of my builds as but you have articulated it so well here! I have no idea how you get so much done for RUclips in a single week but it is inspiring. Thanks for always sharing your craft with us
I love everything about this one. The rail being pieced together from spare bits into something cohesive and believable, the modded hover-scooter, the little signal lamp... love it.
Another great dio, I love it! I like to think she just went on the best ride of her life, got some pastry & latte & decided to chill for a bit while contemplating life's journey!
I often find myself practicing my skills in stead of using them because creativity often escapes me. Younger me would laugh at how stale I have become, fortunately your content inspires me to try new things. Another awesome video, thank you.
Your concept art has created the idea of multiple universes. It's inspired hundreds of people to add their spins and ideas to those said universes. Love what you do. Thank you!
I dunno about polish but videos from you and Studson Studio have certainly changed the way I think about my art. I've started seeing potential in all sorts of materials. I appreciate the things you make.
Honestly, I feel like this would be a cool concept to explore, sort of like an opposite of the wild imaginary west. On one end you have monsters and lots of oranges, red, and browns and an older feel while with this concept you could make a whole futuristic world that focuses on sort of darker colors like blues, purples, greens, and gray/black. I feel like this would be a cool opposite to the wild imaginary west and it seems like an awesome concept to continue. This feels like the concept art to a lot of possible future dioramas.
This is the kind of thing I call a "sketch-bash" - i.e. making a concept / kitbash in small-scale with parts/greeblies that convey the overall look and feel - causing you to fill in any gaps with your imagination. It is a great way to test out sci-fi ideas with actual kit parts, before going bigger and having to fabricate stuff. I've made a few 1/35 compatible mech / droids with tank parts, to use as visual reference when I [one day] make larger stand-alone models of them. Meanwhile, those little "sketches" are great for adding easy detail to sci-fi dioramas.
He needs to expand this hover/future tech diorama and make more stuff related to it and, maybe like the wild imaginary west town, they come together to make one SUPER diorama. I would be really happy if this happened. :)
This is incredible stuff - a neat concept visually, and as you pointed out, enough little details to hint at something more beyond the frame that someone could explore. Definitely want to pop back in a few months to see what story threads folks end up leaving in the comments. Your WIW stuff is always stellar and how I found this channel, but supremely excited to see you exploring more and different styles and themes with your craft as you continue. 👍
Would love to see you do more Sci-Fi stuff! I also love your Wild Imaginary West, I look forward to all your videos, everytime. I love the mild Cyberpunk aesthetic.
Concept art is an integral part of world building and storytelling. It inspires those that want to create and helps them achieve what they wish to accomplish. Your videos inspire those of us who create (either by art or writing or building) to look inwards and use our imagination to our fullest potential in order to create something amazing. Much like you do here on this channel. Thank you for all that you do.
She was made for this concept art by BHT, the scooter was made for her and I must say, it is stunningly well done. About the only thing one could do to make it any better would be to have some type of cycling low intensity LEDs on the hover components, indicating the scooter is on and ready. You can almost hear her thinking "I'm here... where are they?"
In my opinion this is one of the best dioramas you have done in a long time and you have been making a TON of very great dioramas all year so that is a HIGH bar. Really great work here on all levels.
This is just the exact same build I want to build, some random unansweard fantasy dioramas, but I dont have the ideas or imagination to build like this my self! But this was true inspiring!😮
Nice work as always and some nice thoughts you described on why you might create concept art and that leaving things incomplete or unexplained is a perfectly valid choice.
The girls face is spectacularly painted. You can do no wrong sir. Every week I come to your videos for inspiration, techniques, and motivation, it always works. I truly appreciate what you do and the art you create. Thank you for sharing it with the world. Cheers!
Thanks for inspiring me, I’ve been watching for a while now and this one triggered some thoughts of my own. My idea is a dark winter night with snow, with a street light next to a man sitting on a bench. Waiting… for someone or something…
Concept art, kit-bashing, a blue scooter…all mixed together by Boylei. It is inspired, and it does inspire. Bravo Boylei!
"The dioramas themselves are not made to museum diorama standards..." still your most simple dioramas are waaay better than any diorama I've seen in any museum. Love your work, you inspire me so much!

This diorama is so simple yet so beautiful, i absolutely love it
Honestly I like little snippets of a story. Sometimes it's better than a full one.
The way you just casually built up an interesting and compelling world setting in just a few sentences is the most inspiring thing to me.
Love the minimalism here. And though it's a great standalone piece, it also makes me really want to see more dioramas set in this world!
As always, what you call "good," I would call excellent! You are as good a modeler as you are a storyteller. As with your Wild Imaginary West, I hope that you will explore the world this young lady with the hover-scooter lives in with future "Concept Art" displays. Thanks for sharing this with us!
The little tilt of the scooter is so perfect to convey the effect of her weight against the hover force.
A fantastic artist and brilliant storyteller, what a great channel .

I love seeing your work and hearing more about your thought process when designing/creating a project. This one has really captured my imagination so thank you for the morning daydream. :)
You are absolutely right and I hope someone, someday, turns the Wild Imaginary West into something as good as the Tales of the loop series.
I'd just wish a studio would pick up your imaginary wild west for a show or movie. I would love to see everything come to life. Like what happened to Tales from the Loop using Simon Stålenhag's art.
How can you say your dioramas aren’t works of art?? They’re amazing, incredibly detailed and imaginative. You are an artist dude. Extremely talented. ❤
This man never fails to deliver. Awesome as always!!
I really like the idea about concept art - that things don't have to be perfect, just visualise an idea.
i love this idea , and the philosophy behind it too !
looking at my own unfinished and taped together doodles as concept art really helped me feel better about rarely having time to "finish" something super polished
your work definitely does wonders for the imagination, im a massive wild imaginary west fan and every addition makes me want more !! ❤
In my opinion,,,,, one of your best dios. So much space for stories and thoughts. I REALLY love it. Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing
I love the composition of this one. Having her back to the light is perfect.
That light adds so much to this dio. Absolute stroke of brilliance there.
My favorite video of yours in some time Boylei, and that's not easy. If you do more like this, I shall look forward to them. You have a remarkable talent for implying a deep word from a relatively small piece

Great work! I liked how the scooter was slightly leaning giving the feel that the rider was putting her weight on it. I really enjoy this type of diorama. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this. Sometimes it's fun when you don't have the whole story. It makes things interesting.
I wish I had this piece on my work desk as a reminder to slow down in life. I’m always busy doing something, she looks so calm and relaxed.
The hover rail kitbashing was so incredibly satisfying seeing all the disparate parts together, but the final piece really speaks to me. The mood from the light is the perfect icing.
I love the "Concept art" idea. Thanks again for the inspiration!

I love the Campus Friends model set. The packaging to the actual models are a hoot.
Wow... Simply wow. Your creativity is awe inspiring.
Just bloody brilliant. From execution to inspiration to philosophical musings, I loved this. Thank you
All I can say is wow. Your eye to see the idea in full is amazing. I would like to thank you for inspiring me to start painting again. I love your work
Been following your dioramas for years and still get amazed with every upload.
This man is a legend. You are the reason that i started making dioramas and kit bashing. You are someone i look up to as inspiration and i thank you go that.

I never ever ever get tired of watching your videos. Brilliant
You painting has come so far in just a short time. Thanks for the Sunday morning video, I look forward to them.
I love everything about this one. The rail being pieced together from spare bits into something cohesive and believable, the modded hover-scooter, the little signal lamp... love it.
Another great dio, I love it! I like to think she just went on the best ride of her life, got some pastry & latte & decided to chill for a bit while contemplating life's journey!
Dude. This is such a small piece that carries so much weight! Love it
The models you do are just mind blowing. I wish I was half as creative as you! Teach me!!!
I run Pathfinder and D&D games for my friends. I often look at concept art for inspiration for my settings
Tamiya kits are some of the best on the planet. I have built dozens of them and can say I have never had a bad time.
I love this diorama. It has a very Alita, cyberpunk, or bladerunner feel.
I often find myself practicing my skills in stead of using them because creativity often escapes me. Younger me would laugh at how stale I have become, fortunately your content inspires me to try new things. Another awesome video, thank you.
"And possibly even go fast."
🤣
That episode single-handedly killed The Mandalorian.
Your concept art has created the idea of multiple universes. It's inspired hundreds of people to add their spins and ideas to those said universes. Love what you do. Thank you!
That turned out fantastic. The filter housing worked great for a light
Yep. My new favorite Boylei video.
I dunno about polish but videos from you and Studson Studio have certainly changed the way I think about my art. I've started seeing potential in all sorts of materials. I appreciate the things you make.

Out of all the many of your projects I’ve viewed this one really hit me. I’m not sure why, but it did. Cheers.
You did it again, you just never fail to amaze. Great project, great story telling, everything. 👍👍👍

Loved this little break from the norm. Refreshing switch up! Felt re-coded ❤️ And epic

I absolutely love this diorama!
Dang the spooky light of the lantern just hits perfectly
This is such a fun piece! I think I speak for many of your viewers when I say that we’re excited to see everywhere your brain goes.
Would love to see you do more Sci-Fi stuff! I also love your Wild Imaginary West, I look forward to all your videos, everytime.
I love the mild Cyberpunk aesthetic.
I loved this so much. I love sci fi and I love the open-endedness of this piece. Beautiful work!
Look forward to your videos every Sunday, always an amazing finish to the week.
This is one of your coolest builds yet, and that is saying something
So inspiring. I found myself getting lost in the art piece and its imaginary story
I've been in a creative rut recently, thanks for making this video!
Very cool. Has a neat cyberpunk feel to it. Love it.
Concept art is an integral part of world building and storytelling. It inspires those that want to create and helps them achieve what they wish to accomplish. Your videos inspire those of us who create (either by art or writing or building) to look inwards and use our imagination to our fullest potential in order to create something amazing.

This is every thing you sait it out to be. Beautiful and inspiring.
I plan on going into concept art as a future career, so seeing you talking about it was so heartwarming. Thank you Boylei!!
This video is so inspiring!! I absolutely loved your talk about concept art 😆

About the only thing one could do to make it any better would be to have some type of cycling low intensity LEDs on the hover components, indicating the scooter is on and ready. You can almost hear her thinking "I'm here... where are they?"
“Measure once, cut four times” is my new motto. Could I get that on a T-shirt?
Really enjoyed this piece! Evocative, intriguing, and it tells a great-unfinished-story. Thanks!
You have a wonderful imagination! I wouldn't have the patience to do half of the artistry work you do..... congrats on an amazing build Boylei!
In my opinion this is one of the best dioramas you have done in a long time and you have been making a TON of very great dioramas all year so that is a HIGH bar. Really great work here on all levels.
Keep doing what makes you happy, and we will never leave :)
Amazing! One of my favorites so far! Well done
I would love to see this as a live action show!
Great build. But I really appreciated your encouraging words about concept art.
Everything about this piece is awesome to me. Really resonates. One of your absolute best works.
Great diorama, great story and thought-provoking thoughts about concept art. Thank you so much.
I really liked this video, perhaps more than your usual ones. Keep exploring new subject and new way to make things !
you should do more concept or futuristic models
This is just the exact same build I want to build, some random unansweard fantasy dioramas, but I dont have the ideas or imagination to build like this my self! But this was true inspiring!😮
I’m normally a silent viewer but I really liked this diorama! I love the art style and the futuristic vibes 😍😍
Nice work as always and some nice thoughts you described on why you might create concept art and that leaving things incomplete or unexplained is a perfectly valid choice.
The girls face is spectacularly painted. You can do no wrong sir. Every week I come to your videos for inspiration, techniques, and motivation, it always works. I truly appreciate what you do and the art you create. Thank you for sharing it with the world. Cheers!
Loved this. Thank you for my weekly break from reality. You are just always so relaxing and fun to watch.
I love this, it really feels like a small piece of s bigger world
this made me think a stranger things diorama with the group riding their bikes through a forest road would look awesome
This piece is great, love the untold story aspect of it
Thanks for inspiring me, I’ve been watching for a while now and this one triggered some thoughts of my own. My idea is a dark winter night with snow, with a street light next to a man sitting on a bench. Waiting… for someone or something…
