That was the right choice with the rocks and griffin. It looks like the sun is creating a golden spotlight on the magnificent ruler of the rock spires. I love this!

You could make a “prequel” to the WIW with conquistadors encountering a feathered serpent kind of creature in Mexican jungle. Like a semi-sentient monster that might have been an inspiration for Quetzalcoatl.

I like how the colour scheme turned out. The griffin looks as though they belong there and the warrior looks as though he's the invader. Very, very nice.

Sometimes a thumbnail can be deceptive, in that there’s nothing in the video better than the thumbnail. But not the case with Boylei. He starts with a stunning thumbnail…and then everything gets better from there!! Love this so much!!

I like the color scheme, it's like it's in it's natural habitat somehow. Hiding in it, ready to strike and spread it's wings to show it's Majestic glow and let the prey know it's done for. The music used at the end was very nice to!!

With all the blue, it feels like we're in a crevasse or cavern, and the fight is happening in a beam of light shining down straight from above.

Falling asleep to these builds each night for good a week now made me dream you made a scene of a medival castle with steampunk notes and a large asian lung dragon around a stone cliff base. It sounds cool, but now I wanna know what videos made me think of it 😂

Can we all just acknowledge the serious dedication that this KZfaqr has for his fan-base? Willingly knowing that he was going on a trip, he filmed the subsequent video AHEAD OF TIME! Add to that, the amazing work of this diorama, and that easily makes @Boylei Hobby Time, my most favourite mini painter EVER! Keep up the great work!

@xCriticalStrikex 2 ай бұрын

There is no way that monster fit so perfectly there by accident, surely! You must have spent quite a lot of time getting that gap and those rocks placed just perfectly because it looks amazing!

At 6:51 that was just a pure comedy relatable moment. It pratically came out of nowhere from the peaceful scenery. "I got a little carried away." 'Smacks lips' "Which often happens."

The art-style of the gryphon and the warrior remind me of the old 1963 Jason and the Argonauts movie. Great piece, Boylei.

This is fascinating, Boylei! So much action packed into such a small space! I hope that in addition to your Wild Imaginary West, that you will treat us to more Gladiator-themed projects in the near future. (By my count, you have 13 Gladiator figures left to work with.) My like is in the 2.4Ks.

Great video as always. As of late I've been admiring your ability to make a relatively simple diorama extremely effective through great composition and posing. I can't see a Griffin without thinking of the WC3 Gryphon Rider.. I've been planning to make SC2 sculpts (Zealot) but maybe I should think of a WC3 one also!

Always enjoy your creations. "The Griffin" is the name of an olde Englishe pub in the deeps of the countryside not far from where I live. My dad took me there when I was a boy on some wonderous summer evening. I always remember as we sat outside the pub sign which had a griffin painted on it looking fierce and mysterious in the warm light. I grew up believing in these strange myths and creatures thinking that they were out there in the deep woods. Like I always believed Arthur and his knights were out there somewhere too. 👍

The diorama model building community on KZfaq is by the far the most welcoming, supportive and kind on the platform. (I know this because ASMR used to be, years ago and now it's very competitive, katty and filled with clickbait)

Make the Romagical Empire the canonical precursor to the wild imaginary west, a transition period between the two, of swordsmen using electric charging would be a cool concept and way to connect these two themes in your dioramas

Videos are incredibly enjoyable and something I really like about your videos is that you have a relaxing vibe but not in the way that I'm bored. So I can watch your videos before I go to sleep or just during the day and both works, haven't found many channels that are versatile like that.

Gryphon/Griffin are some of my favourite mythological creatures, so this was a treat. ...though I admit I'm far too excited for Dragons Dogma 2 to think of anything much except "that Gryphon is about to unleash a blast of lightning and that guy is wearing a metal helmet"
