    I loved every single moment of this: music! Witty remarks! Inspirational sharing of deep emotional conflict! Cutting noises, both live AND sped up!
    Oh, and of course, an amazing scratch build, worthy of the greatest gaming table and most epic battles!

      My thoughts EXACTLY! So entertaining and what a build!

    This is one of the best builds I've ever seen. It's not overly polished, but that's what makes it so good. To me, tabletop crafting is about the fun and the love you put into it. I would rather see a build like this on the table than a more "realistic" 3d print any day.

    You are so cavalier with colors, and it is so awesome.

      Thanks! If it weren't for the good color choices, this would certainly be a peasant paint-job :D

    The purple and blue accents are amazing. The claws look electrified and that eye I on point! There is a steampunky vibe to the result which makes me immensely happy. Can't wait to see the pictures on Instagram ❤️👍

    Another great build. A tip on painting gold; you can use silver paint for highlighting the same way that you normally use white. When using silver you wont lose the metallic shine.

    These techniques are really incredible. You make it look so easy. It's also really modular. Want a snake? Leave off the limbs. Want a big ass lizard? No wings. Great work.

  • @caoshedgehog

    I tried to make this dragon, it turned out okay but I stumble into some problems. As a begginer at model crafting here are some tips that I got from this experience:
    -Not every cardstock is the same, depending on the country you may have different characteristcs on its quality, so mine card stock is very rigid and the body of the dragon turned out like a flat worm. In order to make the body more 'shapable' and rounded I wrapped it up on ducktape (or any other tape) and than proceed to hotglue the scales.
    -Everything turns out better after the painting, trust me... But it does not need to be as 'crafty' as the bard showed. I suck at painting but I had a can of metallic spray paint, and just that was enough for my sattisfaction
    -A sharp blade is really useful for those complex shapes. Go get some

    • @BardsCraft
      @BardsCraft  5 лет назад +1

      I just painted the background purple, then a blue eye shaped blob followed by a thin white line with some thin streaks coming out.
      Also something in the camera makes it look more glowing. Anything that is too dark is almost black according to the camera, so they eye stands out.
