Goblins Off Bases, Bad Casts, and Homemade Music

New Day, New Shirt

Took a shower. Need to shave my head again. The main room behind me is crazy—those bookshelves are my deepest shame.

The Goblin Base Test

These are dry now. Let’s test them.

Our greatest fears have been confirmed. We’re just too late. Going to have to pop them all off, seal them down, and reglue them.

The Fix

Upon reflection, I’m just going to bust all these goblins off, scrape the base material down to the base, plastic glue them to the actual base, and stop being silly trying to take shortcuts.

If I would have done that yesterday, it would have taken 15-20 minutes. Lesson learned.

More Casting Woes

The demon prince mold—he came off the bottom and floated to the top. Don’t know what we’re going to get, but probably not a good cast.

Technically not wasted. I’ll let it cure, cut it up, and use the chunks in future molds. Need to buy more silicone before making more molds anyway.

Making My Own Music

Since everything else has been a bust, I’m showing you something else I’ve been working on.

My very second video got a copyright strike for using royalty-free music from a bot or spammer. I refuted and won, but now I’m making my own music.

Using an app on my iPad called Koala, which samples pretty much anything. I’ve only used two things:

1. A whistle—I whistled a little diddy
2. Smacking on the belly gut

Plus some E-ring dungeon synth. It’s definitely not complete, still rough, but I’m slowly figuring it out and teaching myself so I can make my own music for videos.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow we will finally get to painting.

Transcript

Hey, it’s the start of a new day. I don’t know if I look at the screen or I look at the dot. Oh, that’s making me dizzy. Uh, it’s a new day. New shirt.

Took a shower. Need to shave my head again. Probably should do something with this a little bit. You can see how crazy u the main room is behind me. Uh, I got to get those bookshelves handled.

That is my deepest shame back there. Um, what was I doing today? Uh, I’m going to show you how this these turned out. These are dry now. Look at that boy.

Oh, it looks I didn’t do a very good job at coverage, but it was mostly because I was just trying to pan it. Here’s how we’re going to test this. Whoops. You ready? I think we’re good.

No, we’re not. Our greatest fears have been confirmed. So, uh we’re just too late. Uh we’re going to have to pop them all off and seal them down and then reglue them. And that this is is what it is, right?

Uh it’s not a huge deal. Um, I think it’ll probably like I probably just take me like 30 minutes. So, these now that these are like solid. These are ones that didn’t have anybody on it. Uh, I should just be able to glue it down to that and be good.

But I’m I’m thinking I might matt seal them. Okay. Uh, upon reflection, I’m just going to bust all these goblins off, scrape the base material down to the base, glue them, plastic glue them, uh, to the actual base itself, and stop being silly trying to take shortcuts. Um, if I would have done that, I could have done it like yesterday in like 15, 20 minutes. Uh, so that’s what we’re going to do.

Scrape it down to the base, plastic glue them to the base, and just get back on track with it. These are all the bases that were still unattached. Uh, I hit some of them with the Elmer’s glue in the middles, which you can see it looks kind of cool, but I just sealed them all with matte coat. I’m gonna go put these in the garage to cure and then I’m going to make molds of all these bases. I was trying to make the demon prince mold and he came off the bottom and floated to the top.

So, I don’t know what we’re going to get, but it’s probably not a good cast. Technically, this isn’t wasted. I’m going to let this finish curing and then I’ll cut it up and that will just be chunks in other molds in the future. I need to buy more silicone before I can make any more molds cuz I don’t think I have enough. I might I have a little bit left.

So, I’m going to take whatever I still have and use that to try and make some molds for bases. Since everything else I was trying to work on has been a bust, I’m going to show you something else I was working on. Uh, and that’s trying to make my own music. Since my very second video got a copyright strike on it for using royalty-free music by a bot or a spammer or something, I refuted it and won. I’ve been wanting to make my own music.

So, I don’t know anything about it. I’ve been playing around with a bunch of different things and now I’m using an app on my iPad called Koala, which samples pretty much anything and you can make music from it. So, let’s go do that. >> So, I’ve only used two things. One is a whistle.

I whistled a little tune, a little diddy, and the other thing I did was smack on the belly gut. And I was able to make kind of like the background of this. And then I used some E-ring dungeon synth synths and which are these. And this is what I got so far. It’s definitely not like complete.

It’s still pretty rough, but I figured this was better than showing you another time lapse of all those goblins, but this is what I’ve been doing uh kind of in the background slowly figuring this thing out and just learning it and teaching it to myself so I can make my own music for the videos. And tomorrow we will finally get to painting. >> You did it. Yeah.
