Bro, I cannot emphasize what an absolute triumph this is. I quite literally added it to a playlist for motivation when I feel burnt out. The thought that one guy's tireless passion of a world he'd so meticulously created could make such a fucking dope ass final product is so inspiring. This is more engaging than 90% of the storylines I see in AAA pieces of media nowadays. You should be so so proud of yourself, my guy. I wish you the best and I so look forward to everything you do in the future with your buckets of talent
The kindness of your words is truly overwhelming! I am so glad to hear you liked the video so much, it was a lot of work but comments like yours make every hour I put into this worth it :) I can't wait to share more of my world with you, thanks again so much!
Your video about spending 10 years building your world was randomly recommended to me and now I'm going back through all the videos on this channel and eagerly waiting to see more of your world
I went on a world-building rabbit hole last night and found your channel. This is everything I dream of doing with my world-building. You are incredible and this is so inspirational. Thank you for introducing us to your home, Cartographer. Perhaps one day, the gods will allow our paths to cross. From one explorer to another, know that you will always be welcome in my homeland of Taidé. Should your ship ever guide you here, look for the Broken Plume Inn. You will be well kept, my friend.
Thank you so much for the kind words dear friend, if I ever find myself wandering your lands I hope you'll have saved me a seat at the Broken Plume Inn, so that we may toast on adventures to come.
The Cartographer has a great voice for storytelling. But this video is very good, very interesting to see how the world works and the view from the Cartographer's eyes. Can't wait for more.
Thanks again ;) but what would you like to see more of first? I'd like the subject of my next video to be decided by the viewers, so any particular thing that intrigues you most?

Oh my Goodness! Man, I have no words to describe my feelings right now. It's so inspiring. I have been thinking about my own future as a fantasy writer, but I was kinda doubting myself, thinking "maybe I'll be more useful somewhere else than being a storyteller". My friend, you have just shown your world and totally made me to go after my real passion - become a fantasy world builder. Thank you, I can't express what is happening with me right now. THANK YOU! Can't wait to read The Walls of the world !!!
This is so underrated. When I looked at it I was shocked to see it only has 10000 views when it deserves at least a million. The beautifully hand drawn map, the soothing music and voice and the perfect editing and illustration fit so well together it is like a movie. A true masterpiece!
I frickin love this, the production quality to the maps themselves are top-notch! This really scratches a tolkien-esque itch that I always try to achieve in my own worldbuilding and maps, yet you capture it perfectly, Edit: Vindikfill seems super interesting.
Thank you so much, as a huge Tolkien fan myself I truly appreciate your compliment. And I'd love to talk more about Vindikfill, thanks for letting me know :)
This is superb! The storytelling, the map, the cartography, the sound effects, the scene being set, the editing, the world you built this is absolutely amazing! Ouuuu tell us more about Zurack; the people, the tree, the culture, the landscape, the origin story, the clothing, the technology, etc.😊
Perfectly done bro. I’m cartographer and land surveyor. It hits me right where my heart is that you used that as your catalyst to invite people into world building(another love of mine)
This is crazy to me. I’ve been building a world for around 3 years very much just on the side/once every few months for the purposes of turning it into a series of screenplays. Seeing someone like yourself flesh out a passion project to this extent has really motivated me to go even further and really see how far I can develop my own
I first watched your "how world building changed my life". That made me want to check out your channel and wow! This is the first video I've seen apart from the one i just said and I'm blown away with the quality and the in depth story telling, I could literally sit back and drink some tea while the cartographer tells me tales of this magical place! A place where I feel like I belong, a place not to far from my home, a place that is ready to be wondered. I can't wait to check out the other videos!
@@highlandmediaalba699 what a beautiful compliment, your kind words mean the world to me! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed and hope you enjoy the other videos too :)
This world, your story telling, and your production value/editing nearly bring tears to my eyes. It’s so beautiful I truly can’t describe how amazing it is. The wonder I felt upon viewing your world map and hearing its story has been lost to me since I was a young kid and first discovered Tolkiens world of Arda and and the elder scrolls world of Nirn. I’m ecstatic that I’ve found your channel and can watch more of your content !!

@@RicksCreations Thank you so much! I will wait for further releases then. I would like to see some of your crafted creations before I started a fanfiction of mine.
This is so, so beautiful. I know literally nothing about D&D but this is so interesting and comforting in a way. I would love to read a story taking place in Tumuin.
It’s always great to see people sharing the same passion and presenting it so amazingly. I am also working on a world called Terrademia, which is located entirely underground. The deeper you travel to the worlds core the faster time passes and the more you get corrupted by an unknown force, fueled by the very river that grants life to the worlds inhabitants. In my novel, yet to be written, a group of adventurers gets the task of stopping the river from flowing, destroying the source of evil, but also cutting all beings from theirs source of life until said source of evil has been destroyed. There is more to it, but it would be too much to cover in a YT comment. Great video and greetings from Germany!
I just came across this wonderful channel and found myself,both enchanted and inspired to keep going with my own work. Keep going,good sir, and may the winds of fate be gentle with you and the ancestors of your people keep you safe and blessed.
Your content is such an inspiration to those of us who also understand the depth of obsession that is worldbuilding. I am 8 years into my own world, ever changing as it is. I have created it for my DnD players to get lost in, but I can't help personally but get lost in yours. Maybe someday in the future we will get the joy of your content in print, so we may all get lost in Tumiun. I would love nothing more than to run my players through a campaign in this glorious world!
I don't even know where to start... I loved this. Amazing job. The artwork is fantastic, the mapmaking is ridiculously impressive, and the lore is captivating. I applaud your work. Congratulations. And to answer the final question, I would love to hear more about the main central continent, and then about the Silm, the continent with no trees. The history there intrigues me.
Man I love this it gives me the vibes that I’m a wondering traveler that met you and now your telling me story’s bye s fire I love it when people tell the story’s about there fantasy world this why it’s Soo fun
Wonderful video! Hearing about the broad strokes of this world is inspiring - it has my mind running with ideas of of my own! I love drawing maps for my own worldbuilding and would love to hear about how you age/weather your paper! Looking forward to more!
Thank you so much, I'm very glad to hear that I was able to inspire you, that's why I do what I do! I'm planning on doing some 'real life' videos as well, where I discuss how I go about making my art and videos, and I'll be sure to show how I weather paper for props!
Starting to worldbuild too, kinda wanna start with small stories and ideas until i can weave the small elements together to very slowly progress to grander things. You channels inspired me to finally get it going. ❤
This is amazing I love the storytelling and the art I'd love to learn more about your world I'm also very curious about the walls surrounding the continents.
I just so happened to be at the gym and accidentally clicked on TH-cam when switching music and this was the first video on my TH-cam homepage and immediately without even looking at what the account was about the title got me and I instantly subscribed and now I’m hooked! Keep making more videos brother!
Thank you bro. You’ve inspired me beyond belief. I too consider myself a world builder, and you have greatly influenced me to continue working on my own stories, but if I may ask, what’s your method on keeping track of all the lore?
You asked what we wanted to see, and I want to see a map. But one done by the hand of a cartographer from another realm. See what the differences are. If you compare ancient maps from our own history, you get wildly different accounts of size and shape. It's really astonishing to see
I don't normally engage in comments on any platform because I don't understand the urge of voicing your opinion on every matter that crosses your path BUT with that being said, I must stop and congratulate you for everything in this video really. The narration, the story, the artwork, the aesthetic, everything. You've dislodged some calcified part in me that wants to do what you do and I wish to thank you, shaking a cynical lump of flesh back into being inspired is not a simple feat.
This is absolutely incredible and equally inspiring! I can't wait to learn more about this world! If i had to choose which land to explore first I would have to go with Avanima and the history of the dragons
Why did this make me so emotional. This is absolutely stunning. 😭 as a writer, this has given me so much to delve into in my own world that would imporve my writing. I found your channel on accident and it was an instant subscription. Probably my fastest one yet. This is so so well done and i hope your feel pride bloom in your chest every time you sit down to explore more of your lands. Im in awe. Yes the world is beautiful and unique but your voice, the video editing, the way you have chosen to share it with us as the cartographer? Impeccable. This is better than most books i love based on their world building. I cant really put it into words, man. Im so so proud of you. Bless your hands and mind. You have a gift ❤️
One of the most incredible worlds I have ever seen. I can’t wait to see more of this world. The storytelling, the history, the narration was all excellent. Truly wonderful.
As I am secretly a world building myself, though in a very different setting, I get so inspired by your work. Makes me want to mix some of my own ideas with yours.
Holy freaking moly. I begin to grasp the realm you have build. It contains all and every notion your mind has shaped from hunches of awe. You have incorporated and breathed in soul to inspirations you have come across in your live. I pledge you my greatest respect!
Thanks so much for all of your kind comments, on all my other videos too! I'm really glad you like my stories, because you're right, I have poured much of my heart and soul into this world :)
Ohh! you didn't have to respond :D It is about your work, not mine! thank you for taking your time, because I am sure you are extraordinarily thrilled in these times. keep your grip of greatness :) @@RicksCreations
The continent of Sestiun is just ... (Chef's kiss ? Gorgeous ? Out of this world and any other worlds that have ever been imagined ?) I would pay in blood and gold to be able to draw a continent like Sestiun.
I'm so glad I found your channel. As a fellow homebrew world DM (I watched your "how worldbuilding changed my life" video too) I'm finding this insanely beautiful and inspiring, I'm getting chills just listening. Will be consuming all your content this afternoon and then pacing up and down waiting for more! Keep up the gorgeous work
This is fantastic!!! I am awestruck. It is so detailed and intricately thought out. You can tell you have put your heart and soul into this. I love the twist on Norse Mythology you've used with the All Father tree and the dragon buried under the lake who will rise and bring with him the end of the world
You are a most excellent storyteller. The art and accompanying music are no less formidable. I lead a collective worldbuilding project of similar scale and I know how much work a video like this is. I'll actual listen to the videos on your channel to keep myself motivated.
This is everythingggg!! your story telling is so satasfying to experience this gives me so much motivation to actually build the worlds i cant stop thinking of so thankyou! This is such an awesome world ARGHh
What a truly inspiration!! I love the north no one can remember anything about in the dragon Island! What a great idea! As a dm of 10 years and a 10 years Old Home world i Will now Update it and make it… more 🤗
@ricks creations I would really like a video on how you create your maps.This video as well as all your videos are incredible,your voice acting to your camera skills to your story telling.This literally made me start to world build,so thanks I wish you all the best and god speed with the next video.
Amazing video. So perfect! I have seen so many videos of people's world builds but none as enchanting, embracing and as yet simple as this. I just want to explore it all.
Okay... hands down... this is artistically valuable. There's so much heart and time in it and a very inspiring storyteller. You can be sure that I will follow your journey. I'm not working on my own world, but on my own contemporary fantasy series. And after watching your latest video where you talked about the 10 years you've been exploring your world, it just confirms to me how important it is to love the process of creation. No matter how long it takes. And man ... This is kind of a synchronicity. My goal with my novel is to create an immersive experience. But I wasn't sure whether it would really be well received. And then your video showed up in my home feed. Maybe I will now find the courage to explore my own path a step further. Thank you for this experience. 💜
Utterly superb editing and level of detail. Came here from your posts on r/Worldbuilding and was very impressed to see how many disciplines and artforms were used!
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!! just wow. not only are your cartographic skills phenomenal, your video skills are top notch. this is beautiful in every way, i'm in complete awe. also, as someone with audio processing problems, i really really appreciate the hand-written subtitles!
Tu historia, tu perseverancia me ha inspirado. Estoy atravesando un momento muy difícil y ver tus videos me han hecho creer que los sueños se hacen realidad, sólo hay que creerlo. Muchas gracias por compartir tus sueños, tu proceso. Sigue adelante, quiero ver tu película en el cine, o leer tu libro. ¡No abandones!!! Beautiful and inspiring ❤
This just bought back the child in me who first saw the lord of the rings. This video just gave me the same chills as the movie did back in the day. THANK GOD FOR U BROOO🙏
Just watched your most recent video and am now going through from the beginning to watch all of them. This is so impressive and inspiring. I had started a short story in the high fantasy genre and dropped it, but I now want to return to it after watching this. Can't wait to see more! Your artwork is awesome!
This is some unique storytelling right here. Clearly very dedicated and carefully crafted. I have to admit when I saw the video about how World-building had changed your life and got introduced to your content, part of me was thinking there were going to be a few dozen videos. That was just what I thought at the time. I was indeed surprised when I came back to only see a handful but now that I am watching the first of this series, I see why. And I am here for it. I am very much so here for it. This is quite relaxing and I like that this can be digested wither while watching the video or just by listening to the audio. You give a bit of a treat to both with the well build audio and sounds and the visuals representing what you are talking about.
Came here from Reddit. This is incredible. Beautiful, inspiring, the atmosphere absolutely on point. I usually find dwarves in fantasy settings a bit... samey and dull tbh, but Vindikfill has me hooked and makes me want to visit!
Thanks!! I've struggled for years with whether or not Tumiun would contain the classical fantasy staples such as Dwarves and Elves, but I settled on keeping them in and making them my own. This video doesn't go in depth on those peoples, but I think I'll have some videos that go deeper into them in the future which will highlight what sets them apart. Glad you're a fan of Vindikfill! It's my personal favorite continent :)
I'm really enjoying the tour. You have opened a door and invited us to sit and listen to the tale. The name of your protagonist is familiar, unassuming but still mysterious. How long has he lived? How much longer does he expect to live? Will he achieve his personal quest? Why did he begin traveling? Why did he come home? My world is developing and it is very much like Earth, not just in its flora and fauna, not just in its seasons and climate, but even in the major landforms and oceans. The birthplace of man is in the area we call Lybia. There tribes and clans roam in their near stone age existence as hunter-gatherers. Some settled on the north shore and supplemented their diet with the bounty of the sea and gathered other benefits from it also. This nation, such as it is, goes back before recorded history and the oral history is often too fantastic to believe. Dwarves lived in two regions according to what is known. One group lives in the mountains and hills of the Alps north of Italy, although neither names are known in their world. The second group of Dwarves live in the mountains east of modern Turkey, north of Iraq and that general area. Elves live in smaller regions, concentrated but not so numerous. A great Elven community exists on the Iberian peninsula, but smaller communities exist where modern Sicily and Crimea are today. A fantastic race of Dragon Men live in the region we call Greece, with the barren rocky terrain suits their temperament. A race of smaller folk, a race that thrives among trees and Meadows, live in an unspoiled wooded land in the area bordering on the Adriatic Sea to the southwest. They are very reclusive but somehow thrive among the fearsome creatures that hunt in the forests teaming with game. Orcs and Half-Orcs live to either side of the men on the southern shore of the Great Ocean, the name used for the Mediterranean Sea in their culture. The struggles with the Men, the Half-Orcs and the Orcs keep them strong but not expanding, or at least very little. That's a start to my world. The current era is two-score or more generations in the future from the times when the first written history was laid down in The Tomes of Time in the land called The Nation, which was nothing like The Great nations of today.
This is probably the most captivating content creator out there. The calm manner and the beautiful artwork encapsulates this world so perfectly. You should be so proud. Im aspiring to make my own world and you are really helping me understand the dynamics of worldbuilding. Keep up the good work bro
Dear cartographer I cannot describe how inspiring these videos are, you use in transporting your audience to this world you have created gives me and thousands of others such insane ambition and inspiration, although I must ask, how do you keep your maps so precise? the calligraphy skills are fantastic and truth be told I to have a world which feel the need to share, Enderia, a world of kings, and queens, of peace and war, and of love and loss. A world which has a lot of growing to do and a lot of adversities to overcome, but your words from your retrospective have inspired me to no end,(my world of Enderia has been a part of me since i was a child and has evolved so much and I feel discovering your channel marks the next step of Enderia, a new era as it were) and for this I thank you dearly, you do not know me and I know I am another voice talking to the void but thank you, from 20.9 thousand people, thank you for all you do and are doing as well as all you have inspired along your great journeys. Thanks again,
This is beautiful and outstanding. I’m a world builder myself and hope to one day share my creation with the world in its fully realized vision, just as you have. 👏
Your most recent video was recommended to me and I loved that so much that I've come back to watch everything else. I feel as though this is what TH-cam is truly made for. Astounding work, good sir. And all luck to you. I'll be here for the rest!
Just stumbled on to this channel, this world you have built seems amazing. And the way you tell the stories about it makes me want to sit by a could bonfire and listen and get lost in them. Hope to see a long series of characters living in this world! I would totally buy a lorf of the rings or game of thrones style ling form novel series set in this place!
That was one fantastic introduction to what looks like a gorgeous world. I can really see the passion and love you have put into this creation throughout the years. Your introduction to the world had really peeked my interest. There so many interesting places to get to know. As a person how has finally started to worldbuilding with my own characters and world this was really inspiring and makes me want to dive deeper into my own story. I look forward to watching all the other videos you've done. I'm sure they'll all be fascinating!
This video is beautiful! What an amazing introduction to the world of Tumiun. I can’t wait to watch even more videos exploring this world. The worldbuilding is incredible, and the presentation is stunning.
I just watched this video after discovering your channel on your video about world building changing your life. I absolutely loved that video btw, and this one. I used to world build too actually, with a best friend that passed away, and then after a year, I just stopped. You just gave me a nostalgia that I am so happy to experience again. Thank you, and thank you for following your heart and making a life out of something I definitely had a dream of. 💚 P.s that world tree animation was dope as hell!!!
I have never been this early to a channel and I cannot wait to be here for all of it! I love maps and I love fantasy worlds. And you've brought them together wonderfully. I want to see maps of cities and of the dragon continent, please!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words :) I'd love to do some city maps in a future video, great idea! And I'll be sure to share more about Avanima, soon hopefully!
Excellent! Came here from reddit. I'm so impressed by your maps, your cinematography, your illustrations, and your creativity, and I'm very excited to see more about the history of Tumiun. I'd love to hear about some of the races of Tumiun and their history. At some point it would be really cool to see some process vids and tutorials. Keep up the great work!

This is so, so beautiful. I know literally nothing about D&D but this is so interesting and comforting in a way. I would love to read a story taking place in Tumuin.
It’s always great to see people sharing the same passion and presenting it so amazingly.
I am also working on a world called Terrademia, which is located entirely underground. The deeper you travel to the worlds core the faster time passes and the more you get corrupted by an unknown force, fueled by the very river that grants life to the worlds inhabitants. In my novel, yet to be written, a group of adventurers gets the task of stopping the river from flowing, destroying the source of evil, but also cutting all beings from theirs source of life until said source of evil has been destroyed. There is more to it, but it would be too much to cover in a YT comment. Great video and greetings from Germany!
Bro the motivation as swift as the ink flowing from the pen! Perfect motivation material here for books, art, writing literally anything ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
13:05 I got chills! Extremely talented, wow.
I just came across this wonderful channel and found myself,both enchanted and inspired to keep going with my own work. Keep going,good sir, and may the winds of fate be gentle with you and the ancestors of your people keep you safe and blessed.
Your content is such an inspiration to those of us who also understand the depth of obsession that is worldbuilding. I am 8 years into my own world, ever changing as it is. I have created it for my DnD players to get lost in, but I can't help personally but get lost in yours. Maybe someday in the future we will get the joy of your content in print, so we may all get lost in Tumiun. I would love nothing more than to run my players through a campaign in this glorious world!
The way I gasped when the little birdies flew out from the building. 😊
Aww I love hearing that! :D
I don't even know where to start... I loved this. Amazing job. The artwork is fantastic, the mapmaking is ridiculously impressive, and the lore is captivating. I applaud your work. Congratulations.
And to answer the final question, I would love to hear more about the main central continent, and then about the Silm, the continent with no trees. The history there intrigues me.
Man I love this it gives me the vibes that I’m a wondering traveler that met you and now your telling me story’s bye s fire I love it when people tell the story’s about there fantasy world this why it’s Soo fun
Wonderful video! Hearing about the broad strokes of this world is inspiring - it has my mind running with ideas of of my own! I love drawing maps for my own worldbuilding and would love to hear about how you age/weather your paper!
Looking forward to more!
Thank you so much, I'm very glad to hear that I was able to inspire you, that's why I do what I do! I'm planning on doing some 'real life' videos as well, where I discuss how I go about making my art and videos, and I'll be sure to show how I weather paper for props!
Starting to worldbuild too, kinda wanna start with small stories and ideas until i can weave the small elements together to very slowly progress to grander things. You channels inspired me to finally get it going. ❤
Thank soo much man, your really inspired me to restart my old world, thank you for saving me from some dark times, keep up the good work!! ❤
Glad I could be of help, your kind words are much appreciated ♥️
This is amazing I love the storytelling and the art I'd love to learn more about your world I'm also very curious about the walls surrounding the continents.
Thank you so much :)
I could talk about the Walls for hours, so I might just make the next video about them, thanks for the suggestion!
Great story and presentation. I like the way you interweave art and story telling. Congratulations!
I just so happened to be at the gym and accidentally clicked on TH-cam when switching music and this was the first video on my TH-cam homepage and immediately without even looking at what the account was about the title got me and I instantly subscribed and now I’m hooked! Keep making more videos brother!
Thank you bro. You’ve inspired me beyond belief. I too consider myself a world builder, and you have greatly influenced me to continue working on my own stories, but if I may ask, what’s your method on keeping track of all the lore?
Words cannot describe how happy I am when I found this video. This is a great video and I can't wait to check out more when I'm done with this one!
Love the world building, and storytelling along with the visuals of your map!!
You asked what we wanted to see, and I want to see a map. But one done by the hand of a cartographer from another realm. See what the differences are. If you compare ancient maps from our own history, you get wildly different accounts of size and shape. It's really astonishing to see
I don't normally engage in comments on any platform because I don't understand the urge of voicing your opinion on every matter that crosses your path BUT with that being said, I must stop and congratulate you for everything in this video really. The narration, the story, the artwork, the aesthetic, everything. You've dislodged some calcified part in me that wants to do what you do and I wish to thank you, shaking a cynical lump of flesh back into being inspired is not a simple feat.
Weird flex
This is incredible! I love what you’re doing!
This is absolutely incredible and equally inspiring! I can't wait to learn more about this world!
If i had to choose which land to explore first I would have to go with Avanima and the history of the dragons
Thanks! Great suggestion, I'll keep that in mind :)
Why did this make me so emotional. This is absolutely stunning. 😭 as a writer, this has given me so much to delve into in my own world that would imporve my writing.
I found your channel on accident and it was an instant subscription. Probably my fastest one yet. This is so so well done and i hope your feel pride bloom in your chest every time you sit down to explore more of your lands. Im in awe. Yes the world is beautiful and unique but your voice, the video editing, the way you have chosen to share it with us as the cartographer? Impeccable. This is better than most books i love based on their world building. I cant really put it into words, man. Im so so proud of you. Bless your hands and mind. You have a gift ❤️
You are so very kind, thank you so much for the beautiful words! ♥️
One of the most incredible worlds I have ever seen. I can’t wait to see more of this world. The storytelling, the history, the narration was all excellent. Truly wonderful.
This is something out of ordinary, Thanks for introducing us to Timiun. It feels like a place where I could go and live. Eager to explore more.
As I am secretly a world building myself, though in a very different setting, I get so inspired by your work. Makes me want to mix some of my own ideas with yours.
Holy freaking moly. I begin to grasp the realm you have build. It contains all and every notion your mind has shaped from hunches of awe. You have incorporated and breathed in soul to inspirations you have come across in your live. I pledge you my greatest respect!
Thanks so much for all of your kind comments, on all my other videos too! I'm really glad you like my stories, because you're right, I have poured much of my heart and soul into this world :)
Ohh! you didn't have to respond :D It is about your work, not mine! thank you for taking your time, because I am sure you are extraordinarily thrilled in these times. keep your grip of greatness :) @@RicksCreations
The continent of Sestiun is just ... (Chef's kiss ? Gorgeous ? Out of this world and any other worlds that have ever been imagined ?) I would pay in blood and gold to be able to draw a continent like Sestiun.
I'm so glad I found your channel. As a fellow homebrew world DM (I watched your "how worldbuilding changed my life" video too) I'm finding this insanely beautiful and inspiring, I'm getting chills just listening. Will be consuming all your content this afternoon and then pacing up and down waiting for more! Keep up the gorgeous work
This is fantastic!!! I am awestruck. It is so detailed and intricately thought out. You can tell you have put your heart and soul into this. I love the twist on Norse Mythology you've used with the All Father tree and the dragon buried under the lake who will rise and bring with him the end of the world
Absolutely incredible, an inspiration! This is the type of storytelling I wish to deliver one day...
Thank you so much for such kind words!
@@RicksCreations keep up the great work!
You are a most excellent storyteller. The art and accompanying music are no less formidable.
I lead a collective worldbuilding project of similar scale and I know how much work a video like this is.
I'll actual listen to the videos on your channel to keep myself motivated.
This is everythingggg!! your story telling is so satasfying to experience this gives me so much motivation to actually build the worlds i cant stop thinking of so thankyou! This is such an awesome world ARGHh
Excellent video! Your storytelling is incredible, very engaging and so interesting, love the production! Can't wait to see more work from you!!
Much appreciated! :)
This is amazing. Great story, narration, visuals. So engaging and inspiring! I'm so glad that TH-cam brought me to your videos today. ❤
What a truly inspiration!!
I love the north no one can remember anything about in the dragon Island! What a great idea!
As a dm of 10 years and a 10 years Old Home world i Will now Update it and make it… more 🤗
I love it. Look so unique and magical 🧚🏽🔮 Thank you for sharing and creating this amazing project of your art
@ricks creations I would really like a video on how you create your maps.This video as well as all your videos are incredible,your voice acting to your camera skills to your story telling.This literally made me start to world build,so thanks I wish you all the best and god speed with the next video.
You have everything needed in a fantasy world and more
Amazing video. So perfect! I have seen so many videos of people's world builds but none as enchanting, embracing and as yet simple as this. I just want to explore it all.
Okay... hands down... this is artistically valuable. There's so much heart and time in it and a very inspiring storyteller. You can be sure that I will follow your journey. I'm not working on my own world, but on my own contemporary fantasy series. And after watching your latest video where you talked about the 10 years you've been exploring your world, it just confirms to me how important it is to love the process of creation. No matter how long it takes. And man ... This is kind of a synchronicity. My goal with my novel is to create an immersive experience. But I wasn't sure whether it would really be well received. And then your video showed up in my home feed. Maybe I will now find the courage to explore my own path a step further.
Thank you for this experience. 💜
Dang. You must be one awesome dungeon master!! 😎
Just discovering this channel and I can't wait to watch all of your wonderful videos. You've given me valuable inspiration and enjoyment. Thanks!
Utterly superb editing and level of detail. Came here from your posts on r/Worldbuilding and was very impressed to see how many disciplines and artforms were used!
Thank you so much! I put a whole lot of effort into this video, so your kind words mean a lot to me :)
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!! just wow. not only are your cartographic skills phenomenal, your video skills are top notch. this is beautiful in every way, i'm in complete awe. also, as someone with audio processing problems, i really really appreciate the hand-written subtitles!
Tu historia, tu perseverancia me ha inspirado. Estoy atravesando un momento muy difícil y ver tus videos me han hecho creer que los sueños se hacen realidad, sólo hay que creerlo. Muchas gracias por compartir tus sueños, tu proceso. Sigue adelante, quiero ver tu película en el cine, o leer tu libro. ¡No abandones!!! Beautiful and inspiring ❤
This just bought back the child in me who first saw the lord of the rings. This video just gave me the same chills as the movie did back in the day. THANK GOD FOR U BROOO🙏
That might be one of the greatest compliments I've ever received, thank you so much for the kind words!
I remember when I first saw the teaser! This is great! Absolutely love everything about this! :D
And I remember your comment! Thanks for being a fan since the beginning 😊
Just watched your most recent video and am now going through from the beginning to watch all of them. This is so impressive and inspiring. I had started a short story in the high fantasy genre and dropped it, but I now want to return to it after watching this. Can't wait to see more! Your artwork is awesome!
This video is truly incredible :o honestly im shocked by the quality of the entire production and execution.
This is some unique storytelling right here. Clearly very dedicated and carefully crafted. I have to admit when I saw the video about how World-building had changed your life and got introduced to your content, part of me was thinking there were going to be a few dozen videos. That was just what I thought at the time. I was indeed surprised when I came back to only see a handful but now that I am watching the first of this series, I see why. And I am here for it. I am very much so here for it. This is quite relaxing and I like that this can be digested wither while watching the video or just by listening to the audio. You give a bit of a treat to both with the well build audio and sounds and the visuals representing what you are talking about.
Came here from Reddit. This is incredible. Beautiful, inspiring, the atmosphere absolutely on point.
I usually find dwarves in fantasy settings a bit... samey and dull tbh, but Vindikfill has me hooked and makes me want to visit!
Thanks!! I've struggled for years with whether or not Tumiun would contain the classical fantasy staples such as Dwarves and Elves, but I settled on keeping them in and making them my own. This video doesn't go in depth on those peoples, but I think I'll have some videos that go deeper into them in the future which will highlight what sets them apart. Glad you're a fan of Vindikfill! It's my personal favorite continent :)
The quality of your work is really outstanding.
I'm really enjoying the tour. You have opened a door and invited us to sit and listen to the tale. The name of your protagonist is familiar, unassuming but still mysterious. How long has he lived? How much longer does he expect to live? Will he achieve his personal quest? Why did he begin traveling? Why did he come home?
My world is developing and it is very much like Earth, not just in its flora and fauna, not just in its seasons and climate, but even in the major landforms and oceans.
The birthplace of man is in the area we call Lybia. There tribes and clans roam in their near stone age existence as hunter-gatherers. Some settled on the north shore and supplemented their diet with the bounty of the sea and gathered other benefits from it also. This nation, such as it is, goes back before recorded history and the oral history is often too fantastic to believe.
Dwarves lived in two regions according to what is known. One group lives in the mountains and hills of the Alps north of Italy, although neither names are known in their world. The second group of Dwarves live in the mountains east of modern Turkey, north of Iraq and that general area.
Elves live in smaller regions, concentrated but not so numerous. A great Elven community exists on the Iberian peninsula, but smaller communities exist where modern Sicily and Crimea are today.
A fantastic race of Dragon Men live in the region we call Greece, with the barren rocky terrain suits their temperament.
A race of smaller folk, a race that thrives among trees and Meadows, live in an unspoiled wooded land in the area bordering on the Adriatic Sea to the southwest. They are very reclusive but somehow thrive among the fearsome creatures that hunt in the forests teaming with game.
Orcs and Half-Orcs live to either side of the men on the southern shore of the Great Ocean, the name used for the Mediterranean Sea in their culture. The struggles with the Men, the Half-Orcs and the Orcs keep them strong but not expanding, or at least very little.
That's a start to my world. The current era is two-score or more generations in the future from the times when the first written history was laid down in The Tomes of Time in the land called The Nation, which was nothing like The Great nations of today.
Very cool!
This is probably the most captivating content creator out there. The calm manner and the beautiful artwork encapsulates this world so perfectly. You should be so proud. Im aspiring to make my own world and you are really helping me understand the dynamics of worldbuilding. Keep up the good work bro
Dear cartographer I cannot describe how inspiring these videos are, you use in transporting your audience to this world you have created gives me and thousands of others such insane ambition and inspiration, although I must ask, how do you keep your maps so precise? the calligraphy skills are fantastic and truth be told I to have a world which feel the need to share, Enderia, a world of kings, and queens, of peace and war, and of love and loss. A world which has a lot of growing to do and a lot of adversities to overcome, but your words from your retrospective have inspired me to no end,(my world of Enderia has been a part of me since i was a child and has evolved so much and I feel discovering your channel marks the next step of Enderia, a new era as it were) and for this I thank you dearly, you do not know me and I know I am another voice talking to the void but thank you, from 20.9 thousand people, thank you for all you do and are doing as well as all you have inspired along your great journeys.
Thanks again,
Wow man, this is amazing, all this story, the quality of the video, your voice is so relaxing, just wow i hope to see your channel grow
Thank you so much for the kind words! :)
This is beautiful and outstanding. I’m a world builder myself and hope to one day share my creation with the world in its fully realized vision, just as you have. 👏
Your most recent video was recommended to me and I loved that so much that I've come back to watch everything else. I feel as though this is what TH-cam is truly made for. Astounding work, good sir. And all luck to you. I'll be here for the rest!
Just stumbled on to this channel, this world you have built seems amazing. And the way you tell the stories about it makes me want to sit by a could bonfire and listen and get lost in them. Hope to see a long series of characters living in this world! I would totally buy a lorf of the rings or game of thrones style ling form novel series set in this place!
That was one fantastic introduction to what looks like a gorgeous world. I can really see the passion and love you have put into this creation throughout the years. Your introduction to the world had really peeked my interest. There so many interesting places to get to know. As a person how has finally started to worldbuilding with my own characters and world this was really inspiring and makes me want to dive deeper into my own story. I look forward to watching all the other videos you've done. I'm sure they'll all be fascinating!
This video is beautiful! What an amazing introduction to the world of Tumiun. I can’t wait to watch even more videos exploring this world. The worldbuilding is incredible, and the presentation is stunning.
Wow! Artist, videographer, author… bravo sir. Bravo!
Thank you very much!
Came across your post and Reddit and just a minute in, impressed by the video quality!
Subscribed. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks! Will do :)
I just watched this video after discovering your channel on your video about world building changing your life. I absolutely loved that video btw, and this one.
I used to world build too actually, with a best friend that passed away, and then after a year, I just stopped. You just gave me a nostalgia that I am so happy to experience again. Thank you, and thank you for following your heart and making a life out of something I definitely had a dream of. 💚
P.s that world tree animation was dope as hell!!!
HI there, Rick! Thanks for this jewel!
I have never been this early to a channel and I cannot wait to be here for all of it! I love maps and I love fantasy worlds. And you've brought them together wonderfully. I want to see maps of cities and of the dragon continent, please!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words :)
I'd love to do some city maps in a future video, great idea! And I'll be sure to share more about Avanima, soon hopefully!
Excellent! Came here from reddit. I'm so impressed by your maps, your cinematography, your illustrations, and your creativity, and I'm very excited to see more about the history of Tumiun. I'd love to hear about some of the races of Tumiun and their history. At some point it would be really cool to see some process vids and tutorials. Keep up the great work!
