This was SO fun to film!!! Thank you so much for such a fun prompt word and I absolutely love the spin you put on yours with the word I gave you - it turned out amazingly!!

An underwater scene would be stunning with this medium. You would be able to make different types of sea creatures at different depths and really illustrate sun coming through the water.

That turned out so good!! You can really see the 3D effect with the motif you chose too! Amazing, hope you do another one 👏 And that intro had us dead 😂

Hi Jazza! I think 2 part epoxy is definitely the right way to go! Some of the UV resins I've used in the past are designed to pull up from the edges as they cure to create a dome effect and I think that's why you were getting the warping. These 3d resin paintings look so cool and I really want to have a go! If you do a bigger piece I bet it would look super cool as a huge mural and if anyone can pull it off I know it's you! Something from RPGs/tabletop games would be an awesome subject too!

his determination is unreal 😅 i would have cried and gave up after the first fail 😭 + resin costs so much

Jazza you should try making a bob ross painting using the depth of the resin! it would be so cool!

Another way to achieve this effect is to buy picture frames from the dollar store and remove the panes of glass You can paint on the back of the glass and stack the layers It’s a much cheaper and more approachable way to achieve a very similar affect

I would love to see you do Vincent van Gogh’s Stary Stary Night in a large scale! I think it would look awesome in this medium.

SIIIIIIIIIIICK .Good job, I like the respect paid to the source material even if you aren't directly inspired by it, you made it beautiful. Well done. Thank you.

OK but imagine how cool a battle scene would be on the layered resin? Especially with fantastical elements, y'know dungeons and dragons type scene. That would be so epic in this form. Plus, it's been a hot minute since Jazza has given us a dramatic battle scene or a dragon lol.

2 tips if you re-do: 1 - Put the resin in a warm water bath to make it a bit more liquidy. It will self-level better. 2 - Don't put your light right on top of the mold, It's too close. With how big it is, it can be 1-2ft away. How you have it on the movable arm at the end is the best I think.

I think old time Middle Eastern scene with layers of sand/lime-stone buildings, falcons, sand, sand mist, fruits, etc, would be a great fit for large scale project with 3D effect!

gawd I just admire jazza's determination and courage, if I messed up the beginning, when I restart the piece I would feel rushed and pressured, most possibly won't even try it once again

I’d love to see a resin dragon painting. A dragon breathing fire would look amazing.

I always love seeing these 3D paintings! As a resin artist myself, I'd like to offer up if I may some tips that might help next time. First 3D printing UV resin tends to be softer than other UV resins and boils/burns if your UV lamp is too intense which is where some of your warping may be coming from. Second, oil and resin do not mix so if your oil paints are not fully cured your resin will not want to cure over top of them I would highly recommend opting for acrylics or painting with pigments while the surface is still tacky. Keep in mind when dropping alcohol inks on resin's surface that you need to give the alcohol time to dissipate before torching to avoid flames and work in thinner layers. Resins cure by a thermogenic reaction and can produce very high levels of heat. Lastly a good vacuum chamber can pull bubbles out of your UV resins while a pressure pot tends to be better for bubbles in 2 part resins (because of time). P.S Thank you for the always wonderful content and for being an amazing human being!

Thank you for collaborating with Chloe. She deserves more followers and so do you. This channel deserves to be at 10 mil by now.

YES! Majoras Mask needs that representation! 2.1 million views too! You are doing Hylia's work my man! One of the best games ever made and sadly often overshadowed by Ocarina of time (Which obviously is a masterpiece as well). Glad I found this despite being a year late.

Here's an idea. You know how some dentists' and doctors' offices have a fish tank built into the wall that allows you to see through the fish scenery to the next room? What if you built a solid resin window (or even layered glass 👀) using this same layered painting technique to create a scene that you can enjoy from both sides... THAT I would love to see!

A Hogwarts scene with the first years arriving on the boats (á la Philosopher’s Stone) would be wicked with this layering technique. It would be good for practising light, depth, landscapes and the intricacies of the castle.

Some of the coolest resin pour and paint art that I've seen are the 3D fish and dragons in a bowl, it really makes it look...real. It's hard to explain but I'm sure there are plenty of videos you can look up to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

Incredible talent! This looks stunning

I feel like there are other resins that would be easier to work with than UV resin. I use resin at work and there are lots of clear resins with different cure times meant for different thicknesses. Also, usually if resin is smoking it means you’re casting too thick. Smooth on makes a product called Crystal clear 202 for example, that is for 1/6th”-1/2” castings and has a 9 minute pot life with a 90 minute demold time. It would probably heat up and warp less, and you probably wouldn’t have to wait the full 90 minutes between layers (especially once you get a few layers on and the whole thing is warm). Also, I think you’re getting that layer separation because of the oil paint. Like you said, it’s not having time to fully dry so it would be difficult for the resin to adhere to it. Also, oil paint is not a heat cure, it dries by reacting with oxygen in the air, so I think once you trap it it likely won’t dry. You might have more luck with acrylic paint since it dries quickly and once it dries the resin should stick to it as well as it sticks to itself (since resin sticks to almost everything). The piece looks great though! I love watching Nerdforge do these and my husband loves Zelda. Can’t wait to see the next one! :)

Very easily one of my favorite of your creations, this turned out amazing.

Gotta love the majors mask art!!!!! Awesome to see some amazong creativity being displayed for such creatively made and inspiring games!

I can totally see you doing a miniature scene with battle effects suspended in the resin! Also I love Zelda so I was immediately excited to see what you did with 'moon'! Loved it!

The UV resin is alright for small stuff, but when there is so much of it in each layer it gets way to hot. 2 part epoxy is way better for a project like this. But the finished project looked great :)

I LOVE this piece! It’s beautiful!

I wish I too was bursting with amazing talents like these nice people. Back to the drawing board to practice with me.

This would be amazing if you did a window sized piece for your studio! You could put some lights behind it to show through to the other room. Bonus points if you can make one 2 sided so it looks good in both rooms! 😉

Rather than big in terms of "page size" id love to see a version that really pushes the depth. How many layers can you do? Can you make it so something on one layer is hidden behind another in the forefront but still visible? What other tricks can you try? That's what I'd love to see.

That looks AAAWWWEEESSSOOOMMMEEE!!! Keep up great videos!!!

That's such a great artwork! I love Nerdforge, and watching Martina make hers.

That Nerdforge intro tho 🤣 gotta love how Jazza loves everyone in his community

if it is bigger, the warping will be worse so I would be careful not to go too big. Also maybe do thinner layers of resin. The oil paint doesn't seem to stick well to the surface so I was thinking maybe the surface should be sanded a tiny bit to make it more rough, like the parts you're going to paint. It will go back to clear when more resin is on top

i fell in love with it!!! please do more!!!

love seeing jazza collab with other artists. it's so wholesome to see jazza appreciating other artists' work and vice versa

Imagine a glass table top or the glass panels in a door with a design like that. That would be so cool. This vid has totally opened my eyes to how creatively resin can be used. :)

if youre gonna do this again: id definitely suggest using two-part resin for the whole thing, as for what, underwater scapes seem to lend themselves very well to this kinda stuff I like how you managed to pull it together in the end! looks great

I would love to see you do more of these they’re so cool and satisfying to watch!😍

This turned out incredible! Great work, especially for your first time doing this style. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

So excited to see this scaled up to a Jazza scale! Just a tip, if you do go “Jazza Big,” you may want to consider slow - curing resin. It will take ages with all the layers but the bigger the batch of resin, the faster it kicks, and the faster it kicks, the hotter it gets, which can lead to shrinkage, warping, and yellowing. Majora looks amazing! Can’t wait to see what’s next ☺️

For anyone who's into this kind of artwork, I highly suggest checking out the works of Dustin Yellin. He makes large scale sculptural pieces of ink and paint in layered resin. Things like a life sized model of a human skeleton and blood vessel system, standing upright so you can walk around it, or abstract color nebula or weird amoeba pyramids. He's stopped working on resin, apparently because he was using so much of it that fumes were having a noticeable effect on his health, but his earlier stuff is just unlike anything else out there, especially if you ever get the chance to see it in person.

Go big! Definitely use acrylic. When Jazza said "oil black" and then pushed it all the way to the edge, I was convinced the layers would fall apart. Looks like they did not! But very confused why he paired fast-setting UV resin with the slowest-drying medium in history.

Yesssss!!!! Bigger, badder, and scarier 👹. I would be so excited to see THAT!! 😊🇨🇦

Pro tip from Nerd E Crafter : use VERY THIN LAYERS of resin and make sure each one is fully cured before pouring the next one

I love how even though Jazza is an experienced artist who has been doing professional art for a living many years, his channel is all about taking risks, experimenting with new things and trying different art mediums that he has zero experience in. He’s not afraid to show us all the chaos, mistakes and hiccups in the process. It also puts into perspective and assures amateur artists that even the most talented people are beginners at something!

This is definitely one of the coolest things I have ever seen!!! SO Sick!!

I’m always inspired after watching your videos

Your patience to restart twice 😭😭😭 I’d love to see you push the next one with how many layers you can do but this one came out awesome 🔥🔥

Most of your issues were from how much resin you were using per layer. For UV resin max pour depth is usually about 1mm. Over pouring will cause the smoking,overheating,discoloration and warping. Rough eyeball estimate of the final piece I would say it should've been about 30+ layers for that final thickness. But all the same gorgeous piece.

it was so fun seeing you make and what I find really cool is you improve with every project you you do!!!!!

Oh I was thinking of underwater also. But like the abyss. Creatures and a city . Like a whole world under our world. I love to watch you create. You are so gifted.

A couple of things about resin: thicker pours=more heat, keep layers thin to avoid heat warping a plastic frame. If you look at the nerd forge video, she leaves an empty border around her painting with masking tape. That keeps the layers from separating If you use a pressure pot, you can guarantee there will be no bubbles. Pressure shrinks the bubbles so they are invisible.

Hi! I have a few tips! 1: dont use acrylic/digital acrylic to make the mold, i recommend a material called dibond as its a metal substrate that wont warp. Usually acrylic/digital acrylic are used in thermal forming and that in itself is fun. 2. If u can adjust ur lamp, turn the % of power down or if u cant, move the lamp more so itll take a tiny bit longer to cure but it will b more even and u can catch warping if it happens 3. Ive heard people had better luck with acrylic paint, so that might help towards the bottom o ur piece This was awsome to see u do! I hope i can see u do an even bigger one

cannot wait for you to do another! looks fantastic!

Wow! So so good!!

I would love to see him do this again but with evan and Katelyn

I think it would be SUPER awsome if you did a DnD/ Fantasy war esc scene. You could really make use of perspective and different "layers" or areas of the battle. Also, with the 3D aspect, you could do amazing layering effects to really make spells pop! Of course you would have to do it absolutely massive in true Jazza style!

One thing I have not seen on youtube is multi-layered 3D epoxy Tabletop... Painted and above flat tabletops that would work with wall or entertainment with awesome detail like you do. I thank you Jazz you have helped me evolve my daughters art abilities.

This whole art form reminds me of the Doctor who 50th special with the 3D paintings. Absolutely stunning art with an absolutely stunning effect.

Evan and Katelyn watching this be like " BUT THERES BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!"

Majora's Mask was an excellent choice for this, it turned out great! This medium would be perfect for a Hollow Knight artpiece, since that game has such a layered feeeling to it already.

Legitimately one of the coolest things ever!

My guess is the fogginess is from the moisture in the oils. I think it would make more sense to use acrylic in this project

The Nerd Forge reference at the beginning gives me creative life lol, I am so excited for this! :D

For the warping, use wood covered in a tape (look at Evan and Kay lens channel). It won’t warp like plastic

Hes so talented this looked so good

Great barrier reef. You know you get those educational posters with all the different types of fish. That would be epic

I think if you're going really big, a type of fantasy or underwater city could be really cool. Something busy that let's you take full advantage of the layers (although it most likely would drive you insane because it's something where it's the most fun with alot of small details and Easter eggs. So maybe a collabing with other artists, where everyone helps with one layer, would be the best way of achieving that detail without going insane) Also A3 or A2 would already be enough, I'd imagine that anything bigger wouldn't work well with the resin and that something really wouldn't be worth it

You both did SUCH a good job of this challenge! It’s was very cool to see the whole process and see how you both approached it. And the final results… WOAH 😳

I love the way he does highlights

This is genuinely so fun to watch!!! I love a painter like you. An experimenter! Just like a scientist that tries different things out not knowing how the end will look. My favorite kinds of paintings!!!

I've never done this myself, so someone correct me if my assumptions are wrong, but one of the biggest things that frustrate me when it comes to these art pieces, is how THICK the layers of resin are that people put down between paint layers. The reason being: if you work *like a [3D] printer* and you lay down thinner layers, you should, in theory, get a much better 3-Dimensional result. For instance, you mentioned that the clouds at the top were intended to be further away than the clouds at the bottom, so you painted them with a highlight to push them back. You were thinking two-dimensionally, forgetting that you had a 3-dimensional space to paint in. If you had painted the clouds at the top on the lower layers, and the clouds at the bottom on the upper layers, you would have a literal 3-dimensional cloud wrapping around the moon. The thinner the layers, the more layers you have to paint, sure, but also the better the result will be in a 3-dimensional space, and less warping you'll get in the resin (theoretically) since resin heats up by volume. That's why if you mix epoxy resin and split it off into two batches--one a few dozen millilitres and the other a few hundred--the resin with the larger volume will cure first, and releases a lot of heat in doing so. Even though they were both poured from the same cup. The more area, the more heat. In short, I would LOVE to see you do this again, but this time (and especially if you go larger) use less resin in each layer.

Please do a collab with Evan and Katelyn! They LOVE resin and they do a lot of really cool projects with it, I would love to see you guys do this, only in a giant mold😱🙏🏻❤️

YES, please pleaseee do it again. Underwater/sea theme will definitely go well with the technique

I would love that in my game room, looks awesome

I would love to see a Mass Effect 3D resin painting. I think the Sci-Fi aesthetic would really lend itself well to this!

Being a Zelda nerd I did scream “Tatl!” When Jazza said Navi. I also screamed “Termina!” When he said Hyrule. Atleast he corrected Tatl. Lol

I want this it's so cool! It's really amazing what you can do!

I watch you and nerdforge & you're both awesome artists ✨💗😁

Definitely an ocean theme for the next one! You can really play with the depth and make an amazing art piece out of it. Not to mention if bubbles happen in the resin you can get away with it easier. Lol.

I love how he is always pushing the bounds and trying new things! The creativity on this channel is so inspiring!

This collab was AWESOME!

Wyckedly awesome, this turned out great

Me: * See The Moon in the thumbnail * "Oh cool didn't know Jazza was a Zelda fan" Jazza: * Calls Termima Hyrule, calls Tatl Navi * Me: "Ah, well it'll look cool either way!!"

I've always wanted to try this. The first time I saw this done was an artist who painted goldfish in small boxes and bowls. It absolutely blew my mind.

I’m in my 20s and I’ve been watching since before high school and I have to say, this is one of the prettiest things you’ve mad!! I can’t wait to see what else you make!

Gorgeous!

As a long time legend of zelda fan, I have to say that you absolutely killed this piece! Absolutely beautiful!

“I just need it to not shed glass” “So touch it first before u do the thing” *lights up a blow torch “woah” Jazza is a walking safety hazard

Resin fumes are toxic - make sure you do this in a WELL VENTED AREA. Awesome vid!~

Wow I didn’t this was a thing. That’s really cool looking. Definitely a unique idea

Oh my goodness, this came out amazing! Also, Evan&Katelyn are quite experienced with epoxy (and UV) resin; perhaps you could ask them for advice or even a collab =)

THE FACT IT LOOKS GOOD EVEN FROM THE BACK!

Wow love it. Could stare at it for hours. 💖💖

Id love to see a larger scale ghibli inspired resin painting, something like Mononoke or Nausica Valley of the Wind!

I think something Studio Ghibli related would look awesome in this style. Already looking forward to your next video like this :)

omg the art was so good

You know your a pro when the back of your art is good

Your moon looks amazing! Terrifying but amazing! This is my favorite Zelda game, so it is always nice to see it get some love.
