This week’s video is a little different. I gave myself some freedom to make a piece of concept art for a world and story I never intend to explore further.
I also did a little deep thinking and contemplation on the idea of concept art and why it’s important to for artists to make.

Concept art, kit-bashing, a blue scooter…all mixed together by Boylei. It is inspired, and it does inspire. Bravo Boylei!
"The dioramas themselves are not made to museum diorama standards..." still your most simple dioramas are waaay better than any diorama I've seen in any museum. Love your work, you inspire me so much!
I love the mystery of a scene that has not been fully fleshed out, it gives room for the mind to wander around in. I really enjoyed this build, the ambiance of the final shot and how it captured the feeling of a quiet moment really resonated with me!
I totally agree! I immediately started imagining the reason as to why she had stopped at this particular time and place and my mind just pictured a beautiful sunset over a dystopian cyberpunk city that she just had to stop for to take it all in, since these fleeting moments of peace and serenity have gotten so rare in her life. This diorama is so simple yet so beautiful, i absolutely love it
Love the minimalism here. And though it's a great standalone piece, it also makes me really want to see more dioramas set in this world!
As always, what you call "good," I would call excellent! You are as good a modeler as you are a storyteller. As with your Wild Imaginary West, I hope that you will explore the world this young lady with the hover-scooter lives in with future "Concept Art" displays. Thanks for sharing this with us!
A fantastic artist and brilliant storyteller, what a great channel .
Honestly I like little snippets of a story. Sometimes it's better than a full one.
The way you just casually built up an interesting and compelling world setting in just a few sentences is the most inspiring thing to me.
Love it. Ralph McQuarrie in 3D. The paint job came out great. BTW: Her friend drinks her coffee black (of course) and there is a Bear Claw and two doughnut holes in the bag. Just thought you should know.
Excellent work, C!
This reminds me so much of 'Tales from the Loop' by Simon Stålenhag. The mag lift concept, unique change in history, even the 'Wild Imaginary West' could be all wrapped into the same altered timeline.
I love seeing your work and hearing more about your thought process when designing/creating a project. This one has really captured my imagination so thank you for the morning daydream. :)
You are absolutely right and I hope someone, someday, turns the Wild Imaginary West into something as good as the Tales of the loop series.
I never thought that dioramas could be concept art. I find I quite like this way of thinking and will have to remind myself of it when i sit down to craft next.
Lovely little build, great vid.
The little tilt of the scooter is so perfect to convey the effect of her weight against the hover force.
i love this idea , and the philosophy behind it too !
looking at my own unfinished and taped together doodles as concept art really helped me feel better about rarely having time to "finish" something super polished
your work definitely does wonders for the imagination, im a massive wild imaginary west fan and every addition makes me want more !! ❤
This man never fails to deliver. Awesome as always!!
In my opinion,,,,, one of your best dios. So much space for stories and thoughts. I REALLY love it. Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing
Your cleverness for conceptualizing never ceases to suprise me. Bravo.
My favorite video of yours in some time Boylei, and that's not easy. If you do more like this, I shall look forward to them. You have a remarkable talent for implying a deep word from a relatively small piece
I love these types of dioramas. Like a little piece of cake cut out of a reality, and made in to something that creates thoughts and questions... The obvious cyberpunk theme is also right up my alley. :3
I really like the idea about concept art - that things don't have to be perfect, just visualise an idea.
That light adds so much to this dio. Absolute stroke of brilliance there.
you should do more concept or futuristic models
I love the "Concept art" idea. Thanks again for the inspiration!
Wow... Simply wow. Your creativity is awe inspiring.
I really enjoyed this. Sometimes it's fun when you don't have the whole story. It makes things interesting.
Does anyone know if Boylei has a P.O. box or address of some sort were we can send him stuff? 🤔
I would love to see more Boylei Brain Builds on the channel! Wild Imaginary West is great and all, but I find myself gravitating more to your stand-out stuff! Do what your heart commands! Live freely!
I love the composition of this one. Having her back to the light is perfect.
I love the Campus Friends model set. The packaging to the actual models are a hoot.
That’s a good point about creativity and the creative process in general. There seems to be this notion that ideas and stories must arrive fully formed in your head. But the human mind doesn’t work like that (at least not always). It’s like an artist staring at a blank page and wondering why they can’t think of any ideas. The mind needs something to start from. A seed that that our creativity can then germinate and grow. The most creative and well crafted worlds all started from a simple, singular idea.
How can you say your dioramas aren’t works of art?? They’re amazing, incredibly detailed and imaginative. You are an artist dude. Extremely talented. ❤
This was so dope. I like that the girl is a bigger part of the story. I think your humans are usually treated very secondary to the monsters or machinery they're interacting with but in this case she's equal to the scooter and it's cool. She's cool. It's all cool.
The hover rail kitbashing was so incredibly satisfying seeing all the disparate parts together, but the final piece really speaks to me. The mood from the light is the perfect icing.
I'd just wish a studio would pick up your imaginary wild west for a show or movie. I would love to see everything come to life. Like what happened to Tales from the Loop using Simon Stålenhag's art.
Been following your dioramas for years and still get amazed with every upload.
I wish I had this piece on my work desk as a reminder to slow down in life. I’m always busy doing something, she looks so calm and relaxed.
I run Pathfinder and D&D games for my friends. I often look at concept art for inspiration for my settings
I dunno about polish but videos from you and Studson Studio have certainly changed the way I think about my art. I've started seeing potential in all sorts of materials. I appreciate the things you make.
Dude. This is such a small piece that carries so much weight! Love it
Great work! I liked how the scooter was slightly leaning giving the feel that the rider was putting her weight on it. I really enjoy this type of diorama. Thank you!
This is the start of alternative 80’s. In a world that went fully nuclear power and has cheap electricity for everyone. Future models will contain neon strands and more seemingly impractical uses of electricity. Loved it❤
I never ever ever get tired of watching your videos. Brilliant
Dang the spooky light of the lantern just hits perfectly
I've been in a creative rut recently, thanks for making this video!
The models you do are just mind blowing. I wish I was half as creative as you! Teach me!!!
So inspiring. I found myself getting lost in the art piece and its imaginary story
All I can say is wow. Your eye to see the idea in full is amazing. I would like to thank you for inspiring me to start painting again. I love your work
As much as I adore the Wild Imaginary West, this build was *chef's kiss*. It was also a good reminder that not everything has to be polished to the max (even if yours was).
You painting has come so far in just a short time. Thanks for the Sunday morning video, I look forward to them.
That turned out fantastic. The filter housing worked great for a light
beautiful video and message! This is what I view all of my builds as but you have articulated it so well here! I have no idea how you get so much done for TH-cam in a single week but it is inspiring. Thanks for always sharing your craft with us
Just bloody brilliant. From execution to inspiration to philosophical musings, I loved this. Thank you
Yep. My new favorite Boylei video.
This man is a legend. You are the reason that i started making dioramas and kit bashing. You are someone i look up to as inspiration and i thank you go that.
I love this diorama. It has a very Alita, cyberpunk, or bladerunner feel.
Very cool. Has a neat cyberpunk feel to it. Love it.
Another great dio, I love it! I like to think she just went on the best ride of her life, got some pastry & latte & decided to chill for a bit while contemplating life's journey!
I LOVE this. And thank you for that part about setting away from what you normally do to "reboot" your creativity, I find myself in a rut right now and this concept has my brain bubbling.
This is one of your coolest builds yet, and that is saying something
I absolutely love this diorama!
I would love to see this as a live action show!
This is the kind of thing I call a "sketch-bash" - i.e. making a concept / kitbash in small-scale with parts/greeblies that convey the overall look and feel - causing you to fill in any gaps with your imagination. It is a great way to test out sci-fi ideas with actual kit parts, before going bigger and having to fabricate stuff. I've made a few 1/35 compatible mech / droids with tank parts, to use as visual reference when I [one day] make larger stand-alone models of them. Meanwhile, those little "sketches" are great for adding easy detail to sci-fi dioramas.
Tamiya kits are some of the best on the planet. I have built dozens of them and can say I have never had a bad time.
I love everything about this one. The rail being pieced together from spare bits into something cohesive and believable, the modded hover-scooter, the little signal lamp... love it.
Amazing! One of my favorites so far! Well done
I would love to see more builds in this sci-fi universe
This video is so inspiring!! I absolutely loved your talk about concept art 😆
Would love to see you do more Sci-Fi stuff! I also love your Wild Imaginary West, I look forward to all your videos, everytime.
I love the mild Cyberpunk aesthetic.
This is incredible stuff - a neat concept visually, and as you pointed out, enough little details to hint at something more beyond the frame that someone could explore. Definitely want to pop back in a few months to see what story threads folks end up leaving in the comments.
Your WIW stuff is always stellar and how I found this channel, but supremely excited to see you exploring more and different styles and themes with your craft as you continue. 👍
Honestly, I feel like this would be a cool concept to explore, sort of like an opposite of the wild imaginary west. On one end you have monsters and lots of oranges, red, and browns and an older feel while with this concept you could make a whole futuristic world that focuses on sort of darker colors like blues, purples, greens, and gray/black. I feel like this would be a cool opposite to the wild imaginary west and it seems like an awesome concept to continue. This feels like the concept art to a lot of possible future dioramas.
I often find myself practicing my skills in stead of using them because creativity often escapes me. Younger me would laugh at how stale I have become, fortunately your content inspires me to try new things. Another awesome video, thank you.
Look forward to your videos every Sunday, always an amazing finish to the week.
A beautiful hint of a future world
In my opinion this is one of the best dioramas you have done in a long time and you have been making a TON of very great dioramas all year so that is a HIGH bar. Really great work here on all levels.
This would be right at home in a Bladerunner-esque universe.
You did it again, you just never fail to amaze. Great project, great story telling, everything. 👍👍👍
Your concept art has created the idea of multiple universes. It's inspired hundreds of people to add their spins and ideas to those said universes. Love what you do. Thank you!
Out of all the many of your projects I’ve viewed this one really hit me. I’m not sure why, but it did. Cheers.
You have a wonderful imagination! I wouldn't have the patience to do half of the artistry work you do..... congrats on an amazing build Boylei!
Loved this little break from the norm. Refreshing switch up! Felt re-coded ❤️ And epic
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Thank you for sharing. I've been modeling and painting for decades and have always wanted to kitbash a concept piece. This was perfect motivation to do so. A 10 minute video makes it seem so effortless while hiding the much larger amount of time it took, but the result is amazing.
Keep doing what makes you happy, and we will never leave :)
This piece is great, love the untold story aspect of it
This is every thing you sait it out to be. Beautiful and inspiring.
He needs to expand this hover/future tech diorama and make more stuff related to it and, maybe like the wild imaginary west town, they come together to make one SUPER diorama. I would be really happy if this happened. :)
It's so little, but has so much atmosphere 💜
this is my happy place.
Really enjoyed this piece! Evocative, intriguing, and it tells a great-unfinished-story. Thanks!
I love this, it really feels like a small piece of s bigger world
I loved this so much. I love sci fi and I love the open-endedness of this piece. Beautiful work!
Love the repurposed Zaku(?) rifle magazine for the front hover unit!
She was made for this concept art by BHT, the scooter was made for her and I must say, it is stunningly well done. About the only thing one could do to make it any better would be to have some type of cycling low intensity LEDs on the hover components, indicating the scooter is on and ready. You can almost hear her thinking "I'm here... where are they?"
This is really awesome. I would love to see more futuristic stuff.
This is definitely one of my favorites of your pieces! Well done, Sir!
Concept art is an integral part of world building and storytelling. It inspires those that want to create and helps them achieve what they wish to accomplish. Your videos inspire those of us who create (either by art or writing or building) to look inwards and use our imagination to our fullest potential in order to create something amazing. Much like you do here on this channel. Thank you for all that you do.
Great storytelling and cool diorama! I'm starting to really like these unrelated solo projects
Fantastic diorama.
That is superb. Wonderfully atmospheric.
The lamp gives it an almost Parisian feel.
What a fantastic piece! Very imaginative.
❤ loving the wild imaginary dystopian future!!
