Just thought I'd try some prop making, thank you for all the support! I'd love to do more like this in the future sometime, so if you have any ideas hmu.
I feel like the production quality of your chanel keeps growing and growing man. I absolutely love this angry boys, and your big ass steampunk light bulb! Your workshop is looking more and more like that of a wizards lol
Hey Miscast, I reckon you'd make a great book case diorama alleyway thing, you know the ones I'm talking about - the miniature alleyway inbetween your books. Love to see your spin on that. Bonus points for goblins.
I absolutely love the pikmin video games, my dream is to have a bunch of 3d printed pikmin options and animals to make dioramas
In case that you want to make a few more mandrakes how about some with worms or bites taken out of them. As for other sculpting ideas maybe a homuculus in a flask maybe with some alchemical apparatuses or a rat King would be disgusting but also cool and if you managed to turn it into a mini like the cultist it could make an interesting addition to the Nurgel army. A undead trilobite could be cool Fossilies of ancient marine life reanimated by a necromancer to swarm his foes a bit like the scarab swarms of the necrons.
How about a 40k cherub? Even just in a similar size as these. Seems like a cool thing to make/have to me.
Those mandrakes have so much character. You can almost hear their grumpy little voices:
"Luv footy. Luv me pot. Luv screamin'. Simple as."
This is one of the best places on the Internet. Just such a good vibe, incredible creativity and such a high production quality to tie it all together. I'd watch you create anything as long as you were passionate about it.
I also feel like this is a sculpting project that's something I could reasonably try as a first step into clay sculpting. You break down the steps so well. Keep doing your thing man, this is great.
100% Agreed.
Thub, Bub, and Grub grew up so fast. Excellent build and video m8
"I love mandrakes and so do you" uh okay I didn't know I do but thanks :p
They are sad and chunky, what's not to like?
I didn’t know either but now I realized I do.
chuffed dad energy Miscast is best Miscast
Yeah this rules so hard.
I'll be making some with my daughters while we're in lockdown.
That's really great to hear! Send pictures if you do!
I'm not interested in I'd say one third of the things you make, but your skill AND enthusiasm still makes me watch
We’ve got channels like this highlighting their exceptional talent and hard work getting under 30k views and then we have channels with 5 minute videos speaking ill of people hitting 1 Mil. So sad. I subscribed. Your work is beautiful.
These look awesome! I think for people who might be circumspect of using actual dirt, I recommend coarse grinding some coffee and adding some random bits of stuff in it. From up close it'll smell like coffee, but hey, it works!
"Nothing looks more like dirt as dirt."
They are awesome little grumpy plants
🪴🪴🪴💜
I'm so pleased at how pleased you are with these little rooty boys
I'll be honest, I had seen this video title and thought,"This is a one-time prop for any game, why would you etc. etc." And then I remembered: oh, right- you can just make something because it's fun to make something and because it makes you happy.
Thanks, Trent.
I get so excited for these videos. Always a treat
Inspiring stuff man. Great video!
Love your enthusiasm ! Great work!
this is amazing, more prop videos please!
I'd love to see you roll for a random magic item from your tabletop game and then make a prop of it mate!
Sad tater plants, love em!
Edit: you should totally do some large scale whimsical nurgling bookends
Love when you upload!
Gaahhh I love these so much! They’re really excellent - well done my friend! I can just imagine one casually living between two real house plants 🪴
Thankyou Raquel!!!
Brilliant, thanks for sharing. 😍👏👏
Your videos are such a big vibe, i love it
Thank you!!
Bro you are a super cool person, really like your personality, channel and art, very inspiring, keep at it!
Ohh my... You are literally my inspiration couch. Every time I watch your stuff, Im like "Oki doki, I'm standing up and going to do some cool stuff"
love your work mate
"I'm really channeling some chuff dad energy right now"
Hell yeah you are, and we're here for it
Love them !
I never know what I'll get with a Miscast video but they are all wonderful.
Very inspiring.
The mandrakes turned out so darn cute!! And, the improvised tool thing is genuinely good advice - As someone who has used diamond-patterned magic erasers to add texture to dollhouse dry-wall... I can attest that the most interesting textures come from the cheapest/weirdest techniques!
These are so cool!
I LOVE THE PLANTIE BOIS
Fantastic little fellas Trent! I love the genuine warmth that suffuses all your work. Always a great, relaxing and entertaining watch.
This was genuinely really fun to watch! The content just keeps getting better and better! I was wondering, a venus fly trap sort of lamp would be really cool!
So relaxing. I like. Pls do more of this. or just anything more random. Seeing you be happy about your creation makes me happy. Love
To get your mandrakes to grow, you need to water them and make sure that their roots are deeply embedded in the terf.
Those are cracking sculpts, and the detail on the pots is really cool. I like how you used the sculpey to colour the pieces. Your joy with your creations is so infectious. 🤗
These are amazing! You should totally make more prop videos!
Need to see a mandrake with huge feet!
I'm 10 seconds in and I am already engrossed and want to make my own!
12:54 or just use a satin or mat finish varnish for plastic. The Citadel range is pretty reliable. Your sanding technique works well enough on its own too and sells the realism fair enough.
15:14 a bit more spendy than garden dirt but less hectic than baking out biologicals is to get some course turf from a company like Geek Gaming Scenics or Woodland Scenics they make a light greenish color, and drop some brown paint in it. Give it a swirl, throw in your glue and presto-plasto: faux dirt. For the fine stuff, just use a bit of fine sand with the same paint and glue thinned down with IPA. To vary the texture of the 'dirt' mix in a bit of sand when you add in your PVA.
Sorry I wasn't clearer, I use the the spray adhesive because it has body to it, it makes a very fine dust over the leaves, rather than just dull down the shine, it creates texture. I experimented with varnishes as well, but the spray adhesive made the leaves look more natural imo.
Yeah that sounds like a good dirt alternative! In the previous video I used coarse saw dust paint and sand and I liked the results of that as well.
Thanks for the tips!
YEEEEEEEEESS! another miscast vid. Whoo hoooo!
Thank you for the support! :D
REALLY REALLY GREAT WORK!!! This could be a great gift! :D Planning of STEAL your Idea! Thanks!
I want one of these lil dudes for my desk at work. I'd call them Hammond.
Maybe make lord of the rings props that would be epic
Keep on doing things likes these. Love them❤️
I love these! They came out so awesome. Also loved the way you shot this one, really felt like I was across the table from you
I have been waiting for this video since I saw your Instgram story. Made my day!
Everyone loves mandrakes!
these are gnarly!!! love your work man!!! so good!!!
there are only a few things in life that bring as much joy as creating an angry potato
If you want to do more plants, how about Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors.
beechworth bakery heck yeah
Really one of my favorite videos by one of my favorite channels! So much fun watching you and your work!
You know what would be extra great? If you removed the tinfoil after baking and the 'crown' open at the top. Then you could fill the whole thing with dirt and grow actual plants through the top, sort of like those watercress haired things.
That's a really, really fun idea! If you try it please send me photos
Love these mandrakes, just furthering my want to get into sculpting or any art at all really. Awesome content as always :)
Do it! Trent tricked me into buying some basic sculpting tools and I have found it as an amazing outlet for creative energy I didn't know existed.
I absolutely love these! Don't know where they'd go in my flat, but I love them nonetheless
“O Great and Wise Mandrake, what is your wisdom?”
*”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”*
“…thank you for your time O Great One.”
ah man, now I want to sculpt again... great video, also you said Aluminium correctly.
lol, I was raised in a "tin-foil" household, so you nearly got that instead
@@Miscast lol me too, but we're pros now
nice
Is that a sculpting tool made from an old brush and some green stuff?! Because its ingenious.
Ah! I love them!! Also I wonder how many of our projects have been saved by girlfriend suggestions loool
Potato boys!
Where did you get your cool green sweater with potions and snakes and keys and mushrooms?! It’s fantastic
Zan Von Zed merch :)
Incredible! Love your whole vibe!
So many small touches that really elevated these from 10 to 11. The fake plant weathering, the labels, the actual dirt. It's been amazing seeing your growth as a maker as much as a creator, Trent. Really well done.
Thanks so much Danny!
What is the name of your tools pls answer❤
I have a suggestion - add a label to your isopropal alcohol so nobody accidentally drinks it
Awesome idea! I might design something for the next vlog
Awesome video. I feel like I say it every video, but you are such an inspiration. Your approach to sculpting and using what ever you can find is really great. I actually made a miniture fantasy "spaceship" with that approach.
Loved your mandrakes, but i just LOVE the way you have so much fun creating them!! THX for the vibes!!
Great work! Fuck terfs as is needed to be stated for every piece of harry potter content of course. But these are some great sculptures.
Love them! That potions sweatshirt is great, where did you get it?
It's Zan Von Zed merch :)
I think a shirt with "Chuffed dad" and your mandrake triplets on it is the right call.
Haha these are so cool =)
Sad drake :< they look so cute
The next episode: how use a plastic crocodile tail to craft a Basilisk! 🐍
Nice! Thank you for this tutorial!!! I love the mandrakes, too. And the garden gnomes. My granddaughter and I love to quote Jim Dale's Audible version of the gnomes yelling, "Get off me! Get off me!" lol
They turned out so great!
Where do I get an alchemy jumper like in that last bit 😲
I feel like those plastic lizards and alligators have gone through whole character arcs over the course of your channel. They seem to make cameo appearances in every other video. Keep up the good work, man, I love your content.
This is a really nice video! It's great to see you doing what you love and making a living with it. Beautiful stuff!
These are so amazing. I love them. Such beautiful lil mandrake kiddos
Reminds me of the Behelits. Please make something from Berserk!
This seems doable, thank you :D
make a small rock golem to be a little desk assistant
So wholesome!
They look greaaat. Your videos always cheer me up : )
Amazing job love the attention to detail! whenever the alcohol is low or you need a more subtle, smooth blend Baby Oil works too :) #scultpingtips
Thankyou!! I'll try that
@@Miscast :) no problem as a sculptor when COVID hit it was hard to find I found baby oil is a great replacement and works better!
for the ideas bid, a dragon piece would be awesome. Something like Elder dragon vibes 🤟🏼
Hey fellow Aussie. You're right, I do love mandrakes! I started following you because I wanted to handmake an AoS army on a budget to play with my brother. I'm so glad I found your videos. Such personal and engaging videos. I have to ask... Where did you get that green sweater? I NEED one. Thanks again man.
Hey! You turned out great. Is it legal to reproduce objects from movies? I also wanted to reproduce Willy Wonka's hat for my TH-cam channel (not to sell) but I don't know if it's legal. Thank you!
Good Stuff! I wish the plant I made was half as good as these.
I LOVE MANDRAKES AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU!, this is hell gnarly. really dig this type of content dude!
I'm chuffed for you and chuffed for me. I know that feeling, and when you finish a project and don't feel it. Enjoy the moment Trent.
These are so awesome. I want to make some now too! It’d be really cool to take this and try and make The Egg of the King from Berserk.
If you don't have an airbrush, you can use mica powders or eyeshadow before baking.
I legit just come back to TH-cam for the weekly miscast video. Best channel
On TH-cam for sure
I love them!!!!! You're amazing at this.
Btw, what's your Harry Potter house?
Professor Miscast...first year here. I am brand new to clay. I am trying to find the color pack you have and I can't find it. where did you get yours? loving the Potter props.
I always love watching your videos XD the vibe and passion I get here is really wholesome and I love that! and when you just start laughing thru your work process, it felt really relatable >w< love your videos!!
