I think with the dragon and the book and the plants and all the other representative sculptures and artifacts you've made, it would be super cool to see you combine it all together into some kind of room arrangement as if we were looking what the room of a real alchemist/arcane researcher, that sense of immersion would be mind-blowingly cool
I am greatly intimidated by your ability to output so much amazing art Trent🥺.lol Bravo and I hope this entire project is a huge success with many sales to bombard you with more and more things to make 😄
Edit: that's it!! Bundle is over! We have a lot of plants to make now. You can still buy everything from: miscast.co/products/plants-nowhere-to-be-found-digital-copy if you want though :)
I love Drake's book of dragonology, got my dad to read it to me every night for years. I think it was one of the things that started my passion in art.
Will 200% be investing in this! As someone who also makes irl monster and magical plants that I have been building into a home brew book for a few years now, seeing this succeed makes me so happy! Well done my friends.
1) Tine is so cute 2) I always wanted that Dragonology book as a kid!!! 3) The shot of you pulling a “plant” from the ground was very funny 4) That plant from your dreams is 100% a star fish lol 5) THIS BETTER BECOME A REAL BOOK BECAUSE I WANT IT!!!
I did the plant pulling shot like 4 times in the park while people around me were very confused why I was putting carrots in the ground to then pull them straight out again. 😅
Can’t wait to get my hands on the physical copy, or better yet, can’t wait to hand the physical copy to my players when they find it in a dungeon and when they ask what it is reply with a 🤷🏼♂️
Just bought it felt like it would go great with my druid character, and honestly you deserve it you are one of the main things that got me into Warhammer and miniature painting so thanks. If I may ask could my plant be blue?
You're at 170, ten minutes before midnight CST on 11 May. So...do you regret this? I sure hope not, I hope it's thrilling and inspiring and exciting for you and Tine.
I loved the various "ology" books growing up, they bring magical worlds to life. Have you considered making textured paper from scraps and staining it with water colours to age it?
I work in a lot of different primary school classrooms, and one time I saw dragonology on a classroom’s bookshelf and I really did have to resist the urge to steal it. If your book ever releases physically then I’m absolutely buying it!!
I'm excited for the next update on this where you acknowledge that you've literally raised more than 1000 percent of your goal and now have to make more than five hundred additional specimens. XD I'm so happy for y'all and really excited to see how this project turns out~
Love the video. Exactly the type of project I would live to work on. Beastiaries were my favorite books as a kid. Just encyclopedias of monsters. Like D&D monster manuals, the Spiderwick books, Dragonology, etc. I bought the bundle, and am excited to see a specimen made as a result of that sale.👍
Dragonology was my favorite book as a child period. I got really (comparatively) good at drawing dragons (and nothing else) thanks to it, and I knew Dragonscript by heart. I'm so excited to see you tackle a similar project!
I love that book, the game is pretty good too! Loving the plants as well, I'm off to check out your book now, great to see a kind of behind the scenes of it 😆
Excuse my french, but this is some next level shit! Next level of awesome that is! I allways loved things like "fake" (I don't know what the proper word is in English, a thing that is completely made up, but in the world in which it exists it is plausible or even totally legit) bestiaries or maps and such, and this is exactly it. Brilliant, beautiful. MOAR!
I got a huge smile on my face when you brought out the Dragonology book, that was an absolute favorite of mine when I was a kid. I remember learning how to read and write Dragon Script because i thought it looked so cool and to this day I can still read it (slowly lol)
man all this stuff is pretty wild. those languages are amazing. its awesome seeing you just push your creativity without any real restrictions! i would just like to make one small request if possible as a fan of your earlier stuff that doesn't play d&d or any rpg stuff... make a 40k or fantasy video 😁 I'll keep watching no matter what btw. keep doing you. that's the most important thing and i feel like you are really carving out your niche. i too had dragonology as a child. amazing book and concept. predating harry potter. epic.
Holy shit, I was obsessed with Dragonolgy and all the other books they put out. That's a serious throwback. So much nostalgia and time spent poring over it as a kid. A happy melancholy. Thanks Miscast
i had dragonology as a kid (french edition), it was such a cool book (and it still is); my favorite dragons were the wyvern and the qoetzacoalt (the texture of what was supposed to be its skin / fur was so cool i loved touching it). An other cool book i had was a french book called "Guide du savoir-survivre en compagnie des monstres" wich was all about meeting and having tea with monsters (weird but really cool concept); it had really interesting lore and amazing art and was one of my favorite fake encyclopedia type books along with dragonology.
it's funny imagining you going downstairs, setting up the camera and hitting record, going back upstairs, and then coming back down again like it was the first time
I always remember getting the dragonology book from the school library as a kid, of course everyone else in my friend group liked it too so we had to share lol
At my primary school, there were regular fights over dragonology. It's the coolest book. As soon as I could, I got my own copy and then bought every other ology book
For the time being I'm printing what exist binding it and adding blanks to add my own stuff and sprawl off of that seems like the right thing to do. Be creative inspired by others creativity
Instantly backed, perfect for my DnD campaign! It would be good of you did a video on how you made the camera too! I work in the print industry also so if you need any tips/help let me know :) I wanna see this book in physical form!
Ok so I don’t play dnd (or any rpg) but I DO make fantasy junk journals for friends and so your pdf is going to be perfect to add to them 😃 *EDIT* oh wow I didn’t realise it was instant download lol, I thought we had to wait a month for it! This is awesome guys ♥️
I have the dragonology book without the scale samples and also the mini dragonology book of baby dragons, as I too was thinking of doing crafts related to the plant life in both books. Don't know if you're much of a pc gamer but there is a game called Strange Horticulture that fits this aesthetic very nicely, also it is based on the region I live in, in the uk with the only real name change of windermere to undermere but all other places in the map coincide with actual places.
I'd love to hear more about how you used AI to create the handwriting. What was the process with that? Was software was involved? I imagine that would be really interesting for other artists to hear about, since the handwriting I've seen looks excellent. (I bought a copy of the bundle recently, amazing work!)
Oh my fucking god seing that dragonology book just instantly unlocked some core memories in my brain haha. Works like this and fantastic beasts and where to find them were my lifeblood as a kid! Thats so awesome to see pristine copy like that 😭
Dang, dude - I've been working on something very similar for ages (even the vertical text-on-a-spine!) Small world, man. Gonna go and grab a copy shortly.
Oooh #8 here! The book is really cool but um would there be anyway you guys could put an addendum of what some of the handwritten scripts say? Mostly for dyslexic people because I had a really hard time reading some of the notes. Sorry to complain the book is really exciting and I love it.
That sounds like a great idea, if we can do it in reasonable time I'll try to put together a pdf download of an addendum or similar! If one gets added, itch.io will notify you!
The kickstarter for the physical copy is here! kck.st/3Fixoxt
Really wonderful project, but that root language is NEXT LEVEL!
That sold me! Got goosebumps when it was shown!
Agreed!
I agree, that font is sick. I love how it looks. So so good!
The creative thinking behind font "Rootish" is straight up genius. I love it.

I really, REALLY, want a physical copy of this.
The 48 hour commitment is definitely something I'm gonna steal. That's a fantastic way to timebox a project!
Man you don’t stop showing up everywhere I go, and I am all for it.
You are a true bastion of creativity and innovator in our space, Trent. I'm so excited to dig in and share this with my group in the future.
Holy shit. I have seen Dragonology in *years* I poured over it in the library when I was a kid. I vividly remember the blue-green scales sample.
I think with the dragon and the book and the plants and all the other representative sculptures and artifacts you've made, it would be super cool to see you combine it all together into some kind of room arrangement as if we were looking what the room of a real alchemist/arcane researcher, that sense of immersion would be mind-blowingly cool

This is such a fun project and gives me that good good Dragonology nostalgia. Can't wait to buy the physical copy!
The camera reminds of of the Iconograph from Discworld, lil imp drawing the pictures inside.
Yesss! Great catch, that's what it's inspired by, I loved that bit so much
I love the 'rootish'
Rootish is blowing my mind! Instant subscribe to Tine's channel.
1) Tine is so cute 2) I always wanted that Dragonology book as a kid!!! 3) The shot of you pulling a “plant” from the ground was very funny 4) That plant from your dreams is 100% a star fish lol 5) THIS BETTER BECOME A REAL BOOK BECAUSE I WANT IT!!!
I did the plant pulling shot like 4 times in the park while people around me were very confused why I was putting carrots in the ground to then pull them straight out again. 😅
@@Tine_Fieldling hahaha I love that 🤣
Every time I watch a miscast video I feel like I walked in to a wizard tower and just watch a crazy crafty wizard doing crazy carfty wizard stuff
Character in my game has been carrying around just this sort of book since the start of the campaign. Betting I can probably adapt much / all of this.
Can’t wait to get my hands on the physical copy, or better yet, can’t wait to hand the physical copy to my players when they find it in a dungeon and when they ask what it is reply with a 🤷🏼♂️
Definitely in on this one! Rootish is such a magnificent script!! I love to take a trip into your creative mind every time there is a new video
My jaw dropped when you both showcased the different scripts that were created. This is such an amazing project!
I love that root script! Reminds me of ogham and that's pretty good since it's probably my favorite ancient script. Really fits the mood of the book.
Just bought it felt like it would go great with my druid character, and honestly you deserve it you are one of the main things that got me into Warhammer and miniature painting so thanks. If I may ask could my plant be blue?
Trent, you've just OUTCHAOSED yourself within this project (and video). That's so cool. Great to meet Tine!
I love all of your work, I hope you never stop doing what you love
This guy and lady are creative legends
Lets never stop buying, and keep him in the studio FOREVER!
Book looks awesome, looking forward to the PDF, and even more to the physical version.
You're at 170, ten minutes before midnight CST on 11 May. So...do you regret this? I sure hope not, I hope it's thrilling and inspiring and exciting for you and Tine.
A mystical plant book? Arcane languages? Yes please!
I loved the various "ology" books growing up, they bring magical worlds to life. Have you considered making textured paper from scraps and staining it with water colours to age it?
I love this and I am very happy to help contribute to the inevitable snowball of any good project. (Also Rootish is incredible)
Damn i would kill to be able to play a session of DeD with Trent! Also the root alphabet is the most awesome and genius thing i've seen in a while
The dragon book! I got that as a kid, now it's my son's favorite thing in the world... He saw you take yours out and immediately ran to get his ❤️
Brilliant! I love when books are immersive and full of texture like this. Your plant sculptures are awesome!
I work in a lot of different primary school classrooms, and one time I saw dragonology on a classroom’s bookshelf and I really did have to resist the urge to steal it. If your book ever releases physically then I’m absolutely buying it!!
Wow I can't believe you made that book in three weeks. I'm in awe of how much you pack in! I love it. Thanks.
I'm excited for the next update on this where you acknowledge that you've literally raised more than 1000 percent of your goal and now have to make more than five hundred additional specimens. XD I'm so happy for y'all and really excited to see how this project turns out~
Honestly so funny to see it from your side 😁 had so much fun with this!
Love the video. Exactly the type of project I would live to work on. Beastiaries were my favorite books as a kid. Just encyclopedias of monsters. Like D&D monster manuals, the Spiderwick books, Dragonology, etc. I bought the bundle, and am excited to see a specimen made as a result of that sale.👍
So basically you made a modern version of the
Voynich Manuscript... I am 100% here for this!
If anyone wants inspiration for weird plants, Codex Seraphinianus is a great place to look.
We definitely used it as inspiration, also the Voynich manuscript is a good one to check out!
@@Tine_Fieldling Ya, I saw that as well.
The Codex Seraphinianus came to mind first.
Dragonology was my favorite book as a child period. I got really (comparatively) good at drawing dragons (and nothing else) thanks to it, and I knew Dragonscript by heart. I'm so excited to see you tackle a similar project!

I love the beautiful abandon you have with your work. It's something I've never been able to do but it's inspirational seeing you at it.
Brilliant idea. Bought. Looking forward to a physical one, should that ever manifest. Best of luck
Love the creativity and organized chaos you inject into your vids
man all this stuff is pretty wild. those languages are amazing. its awesome seeing you just push your creativity without any real restrictions!
i would just like to make one small request if possible as a fan of your earlier stuff that doesn't play d&d or any rpg stuff... make a 40k or fantasy video 😁
I'll keep watching no matter what btw. keep doing you. that's the most important thing and i feel like you are really carving out your niche.
i too had dragonology as a child. amazing book and concept. predating harry potter. epic.
Rootish is brilliant
Holy shit, I was obsessed with Dragonolgy and all the other books they put out. That's a serious throwback.
So much nostalgia and time spent poring over it as a kid. A happy melancholy. Thanks Miscast

Just purchased, also would love a physical copy. I love making nature based projects. ❤️💕🌿
I always remember getting the dragonology book from the school library as a kid, of course everyone else in my friend group liked it too so we had to share lol
Just paused and purchased, super excited to integrate that vertical plant font into my new campaign.
All whimsy; all the time! Thanks for another wonderful blast of creativity.
This is so damn cool, I love it! Love the plants, love the rootish script! I also have that Dragonology book, absolutley a childhood favourite.
The sounds very interesting! The plants look very well made!
At my primary school, there were regular fights over dragonology. It's the coolest book. As soon as I could, I got my own copy and then bought every other ology book
Very Voynich Manuscript like.
I was walking around costco and just happened to see Mostrology, and got it. Didn't even realize where it came from.
Purchased. I love the idea. Thanks Miscast.
Hey, idea! if someone buys it, they could get the chance to send you a specimen to add to the book!! or start a second book to puit them together in!
The inspiration this gives me is too much to handle
HOLY SHIT I have been trying to remember the name of the dragonology book for literally years it was one of the coolest parts of my childhood 👀♥
This tickles my fancy in every way possible and I and smiling like a beaming sun watching this video. Plants 💚 books 💚 art 💚
you two have inspired me. Thank you.
Those fonts are awsome! Rootish especially, reminds me of Ogham.
1:04 - Oh man, can you imagine putting a jacket on only to find a Huntsman in the sleeve? 😬
As well as adding specimens, maybe adding rules for games like D&D, potion recipes etc could be great additions.
For the time being I'm printing what exist binding it and adding blanks to add my own stuff and sprawl off of that seems like the right thing to do. Be creative inspired by others creativity
The Venn diagram of my friends that like plants and friends that like RPGs is just one big circle, sharing this link all around town
I have dragonology I love it!!!!!
Quite like the starfish plant seems odd and that's good
Instantly backed, perfect for my DnD campaign! It would be good of you did a video on how you made the camera too! I work in the print industry also so if you need any tips/help let me know :) I wanna see this book in physical form!
Got it! Looking forward to when there’s a herd copy
If you ever make too many plants I'll take some off your hands for the game room (I'm in Melbourne). These look amazing! I'd pay good money for these!
Sounds great! I really should come visit and we can make something together.
@@Miscast sounds fantastic! 🔥
I loved the Dragonology book growing up.
Fun project - looking forward to see more plants 🪴 🤩🤟🏼
Ok so I don’t play dnd (or any rpg) but I DO make fantasy junk journals for friends and so your pdf is going to be perfect to add to them 😃 *EDIT* oh wow I didn’t realise it was instant download lol, I thought we had to wait a month for it! This is awesome guys ♥️
Haha!
You've steped on a landmine, hope you guys look forward to working real hard mate! ;D
I love the book. So now you have to make another plant LOL
Want a prompt?
Moray eel

Love your work. Up to 339 contributors now! That's a lotta plants!!!

this is such a good project idea... I want to make magic plants now...
Your book reminds me of Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book, which I adore.
And the Voynich Manuscript… a lot, actuallly.
This would be sick as a journal size hardback, head is swimming with ideas for my class, thanks mate!
Ahh I love this! And I want the physical copy. Actually I want some of the plants too. Australian plant raffle when?!
I had this in my primary school library and it was nearly ALWAYS occupied
The eragon book was made the same sort of way I love the style of them
Reminds me of the Voynich manuscript and Rootish, Ogham. Really awesome work 🔥
Dang, dude - I've been working on something very similar for ages (even the vertical text-on-a-spine!) Small world, man. Gonna go and grab a copy shortly.
God, this is magical. BRB, making a book.
Also, you're lucky I'm a broke uni student.
Oooh #8 here! The book is really cool but um would there be anyway you guys could put an addendum of what some of the handwritten scripts say? Mostly for dyslexic people because I had a really hard time reading some of the notes. Sorry to complain the book is really exciting and I love it.

Can you please bring this back to store!? It is so beautiful and I would love to use it in a campaign. Plus I love dragonology!
a simply awesome video ✨
