#Dragonfish #Resin #Scary
This week, I made a diorama of a deep sea diver going a little too deep and running into a Giant Dragonfish. I'm a slow learner when it comes to resin, so the first attempt at this diorama failed due to user error. I decided to remake it and I’m gift the second iteration to one of my subscribers!

As someone who dives in areas that regularly have bad visibility, the first one really delivers on the spooky feeling that something might be out there just past your range of vision.

@bigshazza185 7 ай бұрын

I think the bubbles almost make the first one far spookier, like the bulk of the sea dragon being obscured leaving most of it up to imagination an the light reflecting all around looks so cool. I can't wait to see more sea creatures in the future, keep it up. 👍

@TealDobber 7 ай бұрын

It would be super cool if the diver had a flash light or something to. Just showing a bit more of the monster. This one really makes me want to pick it up and look at it. . . maybe not what you'd want done if you spent that many hours making it though.

Honestly the bubbles make the original diorama extra spooky, I love the atmosphere of that one! So impressive that you can turn around and build a second one, that takes a lot of determination. And for what it's worth, I always share your videos, I think your work is fantastic.

@jonathanmyers130 8 ай бұрын

Even though the first model turned out “bubbly” I still think it gives a sense of eeriness that one would find at the bottom of the ocean. Thank you for all the wonderful videos!

Watching you use the sculpting techniques of North of the Border and Craftsman was such a delight! It's so much fun to see you guys rubbing off on one another. It really gives even more inspiration that we can learn from one another and get better and even adapt techniques to our own styles. Both of the fish look pretty awesome, and resin troubles aside, these are great projects!

@SpookySaurian 7 ай бұрын

I think that both look awesome! The first one is definitely more spooky and has a Thalassophobia mood to it, and the second one looks pristine and crisp! Edit: I just shared this with a friend of mine, he loves the way the first one looks!

I'm currently in the midst of my first ever resin pour. It's on its 2nd day of curing and it is nerve-wracking checking it each morning for leaks or to see if it is even setting. It's comforting to know that even someone as experienced as you, Boylei, can have problems with it. It means I don't have to beat myself up as much when it inevitably goes wrong
