Just took a look at them... and they are indeed, very nice.
By comparison mine will be a bit simpler, and probably not look quite as good - but that's true for most of my stuff

Don't ever short-change your works, sir. I dream of a day when I can texture the way you do

It wasn't an intentional put-down, I'm usually pretty happy with the stuff I make - it's just that there are a lot of really good artists out there. Anyway... here's some progress...

I think those wagons look damn fine. I really love the little things. The roll on the side, the shields, and of course the lantern. I am a big fan of those lanterns. Easy to make, versatile, get the job done, and look good doing it. I have no doubt that I will make these. Not because I need these wagons, or any wagons for that matter. However... I do not have these wagons... these wagons look really cool... soooo... yeeaahh... ok... I need these wagons.

I had some fun combining the palm trees from the Contraption Explorers set with the two Sword and Sandal sets that were just released.

I was hoping to make some more progress on it today... but instead I'm having to deal with this BS: (note they are claiming I'm using a song that was released THIS year in a video I made back in 2019. This is the result of that dispute)

Well, maybe it is

At least I'm getting noticed right?
(seriously though - the worry is that I use the same creative commons intro music in all of my videos... so they're all at risk)

You are known for it. I hear that and I know who is coming up next.

Well I might be forced to change it going forward (if this nonsense keeps up ).

but instead I'm having to deal with this BS:
I can't say I really understand this. Shouldn't the date, and the bit about creative commons, make this a null point? Anyway, I hope this works out for you. Like VK said, when I here that music, I know I can count on the gentle tapping of fingers on a surprisingly cutting mat followed by a welcoming greeting.

There shouldn't be any issue at all with the music... but a lot of it is triggered by bots (which is understandable I suppose - when you consider how much stuff gets uploaded each day). But when I disputed the claim (which is risk free), it would have been nice if it would have got looked at more seriously - rather than getting the message above where they decided to double down on the claim. So after the initial take down... followed by my dispute... and then their dismissal of my dispute... the only option then was to appeal - which has negative repercussions for the channel if they just say the same thing again - as I assume it's meant to dissuade folks from appealing (as each appeal/dispute just goes back to those making the copyright claim, NOT someone at YouTube... i.e. the 'claimants' get to police themselves it seems). So after doing that I decided to try and 'chat' with someone at YouTube (I'm fairly sure it was a bot to begin with... though it seemed to be transferred to real person later on). And after an hour or so of back and forth (as they still wanted me to just 'wait and see' with regard to the appeal - despite the risk of losing the video and getting a copyright strike) they agreed to pass it on to their internal team for potential abuse of the system. And then wouldn't you know it - the video was released almost instantly, and the company in question relinquished their claim. * * * But, after speaking with a few folks, it's something that's happening all the time (and with increasing regularity) - even with creative commons and public domain stuff. 'They' (i.e. the various companies/individuals) just have to put in the claim without any proof at all, and a video can be taken down... and like I say, the appeals just go straight back to 'them' to review/approve/deny

So, I could make a living by just taking people's music and getting it copyrighted. Hmmm
Glad you are back, but I dislike their system immensely

Initial prototype on the left to finished (dwarvish-style) pillar on the right: Reaper Bones mini for scale.

Holy Smokes!
Were there intermediate versions between the prototype and the finished version?

There were several attempts at getting the initial shape right - but I usually get that 90% sorted out before I start on the artwork (to minimise the amount of re-drawing that I need to do) - though there's usually some reworking here and there.
Speaking of which, the more I look at the 'finished' one, the more I think I need to re-do the recessed area of the middle section - as it looks a bit too dark when printed out.

Looking good as always. I see what you mean now about the recessed area. What walls are those? I don't recognize them. Did you make full sized walls? I'm also very curious about the rubble. I was just talking to Vermin King about some small boulderish thing that I could put in the hands of one of eddnic's yetis, and those look like they would be perfect. I wait with bated breath.

The walls are from my 'ruins' set (I just repurposed them for this dungeon pic - I might have to make some specific 'dwarven' ones in the near future ).
