I Repainted My Art — 18 Years Later (Extended)

Hello and happy new year everyone!

This is the first project of the year, and it's a painting one! I decided to dig out some of my old paintings from the last 18 years and try to repaint them now with my current skill. This was a super fun challenge, and I recommend everyone who has dabbed into the arts to do this! It would probably work ...

Fantasy Castle Templates - Patreon Exclusive

Hello everyone!
As promised, here is a pack of the templates we created while working on the castle. This can be used in particular to create jigs for pillar creation, cutting out windows, and/or bricks. They are both in SVG and PDF format, so you can use them with your regular handsaw/exacto knife or laser if you have access to that.

I Built the Castle of my Dreams (Extended!)

Hello everyone!

This is what we have been working on for the last 5 weeks! We have been trying out some new techniques, and this all culminated in this grand project. Definitely our favorite diorama build so far! ... And this time it comes with a rather large Patreon Exclusive template pack that can be used by a laser, by hand, or the best...

Behind the Forge December Livestream!

I made a 12.000 page bookbinding abomination!

Hello everyone! 🌸

New video this weekend, whoo! This has to be the dumbest (and also one of the most fun) project we've ever created, turning an entire book series of 14 books into 1 megabook! 📕 It was SO much fun doing the carving and trying out real gold leaf for the first time, and it was definitely a bonus to see Daniel Greene's...

I Turned my Kitchen into a Post Apocalyptic Bar (Extended)

Hello everyone! Again back with a large project, both early access and likely quite extended (just about to start chopping it down to the final video). We hadn't planned to do two large projects back to back, but since Martina is a long term Fallout fan, and they approached us with creative freedom to make whatever we want, we just had to pull o...

I Got Revenge on my Brother With a Custom Anime Car (Early Access)

Hello everyone!

In this video you're going to meet Martina's third, and oldest, brother (you saw the other two when we painted murals in their rooms a few years back), Sebastian!

We were contacted by Genshin Impact a long time ago for a custom build, but we couldn't figure out exactly what to make. If you remember way back we did a...

I became a dark lord to be less socially awkward - Early Access

Hello!

Back with another video, taking it outside this time!

Hope you enjoy this concept, it was... challenging, to say the least!

Hope you're doing great this weekend!

All the best,

I Built a Dark Gothic Fantasy City in 20 Days (Extended)

Hey everyone! 🌸

Finally a new project video! 🥳
This one was a lot more work than we thought in the beginning, but oh man I'm glad we pushed through and completed it! Also, during this project I've realized that the secret to making big projects is just to expect it to be way less work than it actually ends up being, and by the ti...

I Built a Wizard Study... in my entire room

Hello!

First of all, apologize for the missing early access. We have been at this project for such a long time now, and now being nearly a week late, we just wanted to get it out there!

With that out of the way, what an amazing project this was for us. A tad too much work for the timeframe we had, but we learned so much and succeed...

BtF #26: Makers Central, Mage Tower, Big Book, Resin Painting

I made a 100 layer resin painting! (Early Access!)

Hey guys! 🌸

Here's our newest project - making a resin painting with 100 layers! This was a fun (and ridiculous) experiment, and this time I really think the 3D effect is much more visible (although it's more visible in real life than on camera 🤔). What do you think about the project? And what other motifs could look cool with this m...

I made a spellbook... but it's stupidly huge (Early Access and Extended)

Hello everyone!!

After a short break, we are now back on our regular scheduling! Thank you so much for the patience between now and the last video, we know it's been a month since last time you saw any content from us, so we are super appreciative of all of you who are around supporting us even through this silent period. But now we are b...

We took a break (finally!)

Just a little appreciation post, update and travel log! We have been making content for about 7 years now, and in that time we have been students, full time workers and now full time content creators. As students and workers we had the safety net of a scholarship or a payslip when we needed a few days off, but as full time content creators we ar...

BtF #24: Old Projects Review, Zelda Nintendo & Perspective Painting!

I hate perspective painting, so I did it for 100 hours

Hey everyone! 😁

Finally, there's a new video! 

Since we took a little time off during Christmas it's been a long time since the previous video, and so we had to push to release this video as soon as we could. So with the tight deadline we didn't have time to make an AD-free early access version, hope you'll understand 🙏 ...
