I accidentally made more videos so I'll see you again in a couple of days lol

@BlackMagicCraftOfficial 2 years ago

This is what inspiration actually looks like.

@LunaRoseManor 1 year ago

Up until I discovered your channel I had no idea how miniatures for games were made traditionally. Now you've shown me how to do it.

@junkers4561 2 years ago

Never let it go and never gonna stop. Do it just a little bit, but every day. If you are not inspired, then get distracted by something completely opposite to the topic you are currently working on.

@AlienToppedPancakes 2 years ago

Something I really admire about this channel is the seemingly "go with the flow" workstyle, which leads to these thinking-out-of-the-box moments. "Oh I don't have enough mold liquid to cover the mini... Gotta shove some random junk into the corners!" that's just stupidly clever in hindsight! Another example I remember is using color pencils as highlight during painting, or using leftovers from other project to fill out the volume on terrain when using things like expanding foam. Might be obvious for experienced makers but such cool "cheats" to learn early on. Like working with what you have instead of throwing more products and money on a problem. Embracing the limitations to boost the creativity. Love it! <3

I'm literally trying to cast some gargoyles now. This video was perfectly timed 🤣
Thanks for the endless inspiration.

@thomaskaracwilson 2 years ago

Trent, you really are a pillar of the miniature modeling hobby, and you’ve provided so much for the community.

A new Miscast video on my birthday?! I truly am blessed

@PocketADVNTRS 1 year ago

This video was what first inspired me to have a crack at sculpting my own miniatures, and I came back to it today because i was feeling demotivated. Now that vigor is renewed.

@DarthCool99 2 years ago

One of my favorite sculpting tools is a pen. The round hole in the front of a clicking pen makes incredible warts or eyes, and then the writing nubbin becomes a decent point to draw with.

Ngl i missed these kinds of guide videos, felt nostalgic watching this

@Tectonicbg 2 years ago

a morning with Miscast and a coffee... Truly makes my day to see you

@billdefranza4927 2 years ago

15:15 you sound a little embarrassed, but I find this to be empowering and inspirational.

@Blandco 2 years ago

I was following this video closely enough until you came to the step where you had somebody hug a cat. I don't have a cat so I'm sort of like stuck at this point.

@olddominionoutfitters1272 2 years ago

I’ve gotten into sculpting because of these videos. I’ve been into more traditional art and miniatures separately for a while, but I never really saw the connection that can be made by breaking the barriers of both worlds until I started watching these videos. The local grocery store had a big blowout sale of plastic plants in nice ceramic planter pots for like 0.40 a piece. I was glad there was a self checkout 😂

@DomPasta 2 years ago

And just when I thought my projects were dead, Trent comes and saves the day!

@ToddReynolds45 2 years ago

Thank you for being so relatable and continuing to encourage more creatives in this community

@MiniAxeCrafts 2 years ago

I can feel the seed, which you've just planted in the back of my mind, wriggling 🤯

@TheBandBlogger 7 months ago

I get so inspired watching this guy work.

@MarcusSuvanto 2 years ago

Man you just bleed inspiration. I have been rolling the idea around in my head to try and mold something recently and this is just perfect timing. I love the attitude of just trying and making it work rather than the obsessively optimal thing you see so often.
