What if MINECRAFT MOBS Were FANTASY MONSTERS?! P3 (Lore & Speedpaint)

I honestly don’t know why i haven’t already done a third episode of minecraft mobs as fantasy monsters i mean last year when i did the first two episodes lots of people seemed to really enjoy them i had a lot of fun making them it seems like a no-brainer that i

Would’ve just done a third episode by now but for whatever reason i hadn’t you know until today so i’ve gone back through the comment sections of those previous two videos and found a bunch more mobs to take and turn into monsters so let’s get into this shall we let’s go

Hit like if you want subscribe if you feel like but either way enjoy the show it had been quite some time since i last returned to the mining colony isles last time i was there steven the bolt had just completed his trials to become captain of the island guard and he

Extended an invitation for me to return at any time finally i took him up on that offer when i arrived at stevens village they were just in the middle of completing a ritual there was a carved iron statue in the midst of a circle of villagers while

One woman stepped just inside the circle was chanting and carrying a large pumpkin she smashed the pumpkin at the feet of the statue and just as she did cracks erupted along its body splitting creases at its joints the statue began to move it stretched out its limbs then

Simply looked calmly down at the crowd before it the people all cheered then eventually parted ways leaving the now animated statue to slowly meander about the village i heard of these creatures on my last voyage here but hadn’t had the pleasure of seeing one in person i found steven

And asked him to remind me of what these creatures could do he said they were called the iron guard sentinels they were a breed of golem specific to the island crafted from a special kind of iron that can only be found on the mining colony isles they were very

Durable and capable fighters built to aid the guards in protecting the villages from invaders or unwanted creatures but most of the time these sentinels simply wander about the villages they were forged in giving people a sense of ease and even sometimes picking flowers and presenting them to the children of the village it’s

Not often that they’ll have to spring into action to protect people and yet i just so happened to be present when one of these cases arose now fun fact that i’m quite sure i didn’t say in the last episode the second minecraft monsters episode i actually drew an iron golem for that

Episode but i cut it out because i didn’t think it was good enough i’d done five drawings so i was just like i can just cut this one and maybe redo it at a different time and i’m glad i did that because now i get an opportunity to do a

Better job of it now but looking back at the drawing i’d done then which i’ll show you here i don’t think it’s any worse than the other drawings from that episode i think it’s fine looking back at those first two minecraft monsters episodes i think the

First one is great and holds up well and the second one i think the lore for it’s fun but the art is yeah this is okay but it’s always fun doing a distant sequel doing a sequel to an episode a long time after i did the previous one like when i

Did my third episode of avengers as dragons i then get to look back at how much my art has evolved from those previous episodes i’m actually using a bunch of the design ideas that i’d used for the last time i drew the iron golem as a monster but i’m making this one a

Lot more textured and rough looking a little bit more beaten up i’m taking inspiration from some of my fantasy armor episodes but also trying to make sure this looks a little bit more like a natural creature i’m almost taking a bit more inspiration from stone golems for it

While also trying to give it a little bit more of a forged sort of look i think i strike that balance decently well hope you all agree let’s take a look at how it turned out not long after the new iron guard sentinel had been forged the village was

Attacked a hostile clan that has never let me close enough to ask them anything about their lifestyle on my previous ventures here attempted a raid on steven’s village the sentinel along with the village’s guard and with my assistance as well were all more than enough to ward off the attackers but

After the initial waves of soldiers retreated there was a loud horn that blew in the distance then down the trail headed straight towards the town came a rampaging beast it was much like a bull but twice the size it was adorned in spike armor plating and had a larger

Mouth than most bovine creatures this was a ravaging dire bull a common mount of the hostile clans of the isles this one had no rider but came towards us all the same i was ready to move in and headed off before it reached us but steven put a calm hand on my shoulder

And told me to let the iron guard do its job the golem stomped forth and attacked the beast itself early on the battle seemed fairly even with a dire bull even driving its horn through the golem’s torso plating but as the brawl went on it got more one-sided with the sentinel

Having a clear upper hand the golem even managed to lift the bull above its head then slam it down into the dirt it did this multiple times until finally the direbolt stopped getting back up villagers moved in to harvest the creature’s hide and the woman who’d

Forged the iron golem in the first place began to patch up the damage caused by the battle it was a fascinating event to witness but far from the strangest thing i’d observe on this third bout around the aisles now with this drawing i really really like how it turned out

But i also think i probably could have made it a little bit more monstrous i really like the rendering and the pose but you know it kind of does just look like a really big bull which is fine that’s kind of what the ravager is but

You know i could have made it a little bit more menacing looking i think also usually with my specific minecraft episodes i try to only use minecraft mobs that i haven’t used before but since i’m onto my third minecraft fantasy monsters episode and i’ve done two minecraft superheroes episode i’ve

Used most of the cool mobs in my opinion anyway so now i’m just like i can go back and reuse some that i haven’t used in this specific series before so i have done the ravager as a superhero in the minecraft superhero series but hadn’t

Used it for this and thought it would be a fun one to draw in this episode and i’d say it was right kind of detoured in what i was talking about there because i don’t have much else to say about this drawing but yeah overall i still like

How it turned out let’s take a look Since my last venture to the isles the colony had actually made a strange discovery while expanding their minds farther down into the depths of the earth they broke through to a massive underground ancient city it baffled them as they had nothing in their scrolls or tales about which clan’s ancestors may

Have lived there but unfortunately they also couldn’t spend much time down there studying their remains this was because of a species of creature they found down there that they’d never seen before it’s a type of beast with no eyes that traverses the caves led by its hearing

And sense of smell making noises any louder than quiet footsteps can lure the creature towards you so it’s very unsafe to stay down in the deep dark caverns these creatures can even dig up through solid stone and can be struck so many times without showing any sign of injury

That even in large numbers fighting them is not worth the risk these are the rumbling cavern wards named as such for the rumbling gurgled calls and cries they make which seem dual purpose both to intimidate but also to send echoing waves of sound through the caverns to help their traversal

While we likely could have lured one out by simply being down in the deep dark caverns long enough steven had a quicker way he and i located a strange green mold that was growing over some of the rocks and from it had spawned a four-pronged plant steven struck this

Plant three times and it sent an echoing sound through the caves we then moved aside and stayed as still as possible somehow the cave seemed to get suddenly far darker so we could barely see a few inches in front of our face soon the only thing illuminated was the

16 foot tall ogre-like beast lumbering towards the plant the creature was fascinating to look at it was mostly green but had glowing antennae and an exposed glowing stomach surrounded by jutting teeth i was grateful steven had been willing to lure the thing out to show me but we didn’t

Stay long as fighting the creature with the little known about it wasn’t viable even with both our combat skills combined we moved as slowly and silently as possible until we were a ways away from the creature then sprinted back up through the tunnels to safety

This was the piece that i knew i was going to have the most fun with first of all it was the creature that was most requested to use but also i knew the lighting was going to be a blast for this one because i wanted to have it set

In a cave have it really dark and have the only source of lighting being the warden’s stomach and and i guess it’s antennae i do cheat the lighting a little bit because the hand that’s reached out towards us probably wouldn’t be as well lit as i

Have it here i kind of make it as though the light is in front of the hand and below it a bit whereas the stomach is obviously behind the hand but if i’d done it properly more realistic lighting then that hand would be a lot darker and

It just wouldn’t look as good so this is one of those cases where cheating it a little bit i think is for the better for the piece part way through the piece i also noticed that it was looking a little bit too uniform color wise i wanted something to stand out a little

Bit more and maybe help us draw our eyes towards its face so when i did the saliva in its mouth that i do with a lot of my weird creepy kinds of creatures i changed it to red and made it a bit more like blood even though i didn’t really

Write anything into the lore about you know this creature eating people but i’m still happy with that like the lighting with the hand i think it just kind of helps the piece be a little bit better also doing this drawing prompted me to do the weird creepy bonus episode

That i have coming out on wednesday but the stuff in that is a lot creepier than how this guy looks i think very happy with how this one turned out i hope you all like it as well let’s take a look Interruption here to say that all of the art as usual will be up as posters on my teespring store from this episode linked in the description or the little bar beneath the video but also interrupting to say as i mentioned a second ago there are going to be three episodes this week

Monday wednesday and friday the wednesday one will come out at 5pm eastern standard time and as usual i’ll be in the comments section for the first hour it’s out so be there or be somewhere else i guess i’ll see some of you there but back into art for the

Final entry to my bestiary from this journey we had to return to the realm i visited with the villagers the first time i’d come to the isles we stepped through their purple portal and found ourselves in the volcanic cavernous nether realm there are many hostile creatures in this area some of which

I’ve explored before but the one i studied on this journey was actually a rather calm and peaceful species the striding lava stretch appears somewhat like a blend of a blue whale and an ostrich but with dark orange skin it’s butt a large head with legs and some

Very thick strands of hair it resides in the actual lava of this strange place they stride through the lava on their long legs and spend so much time immersed in it that their lower legs are crusted over in hardened molten rock some of the braver villagers actually

Use these creatures as mounts to move across the pools of lava to reach farther parts of the nether i thought this was an outrageous risk to take as all that would need happen was the creature trip and the rider could fall to a very painful death but many in the

Group didn’t even think twice about it the villagers have found it very easy to direct these creatures while riding them by simply holding mushrooms and fungus out in front of them on fishing lines that the creatures will then walk towards they’re clearly not a particularly intelligent species of creature but that

Doesn’t make them any less fascinating in our time down there we did find a deceased one and i took the opportunity to gather some of its hide a creature with skin tough enough to withstand striding through lava seemed like a fantastic material to eventually have crafted into armor

In fact on my last day of this third journey to the isles i gathered up a few segments of hides of the various creatures from the isles before once more saying my goodbyes and taking my leave from this fascinating region of my world i feel like in a lot of my dragon

And fantasy monster episodes lately i’m making taran come across a bit like an armor addict because i just i now that i have the fantasy armor series set in the same world and he knows vasilia kuznet the character that crafts all the fantasy armors anytime i’m doing a

Monster episode i’m like oh you know what this monster would be really cool turned into a fantasy armor so i just always have him gathering more and more hides and pieces of creatures to you know hint that oh maybe this will turn into a fantasy armor episode as well i

Do think a minecraft fantasy armory episode could be fun though i do kind of want to do a third episode of minecraft superheroes first because i really like that series and i haven’t used a lot of the big names yet because as i said when i started doing the minecraft

Superheroes episodes i didn’t want to double up on any minecraft mobs that i’d used in the fantasy series so i haven’t used the creeper and a whole bunch of other cool mobs that could make great superheroes or villains but none of that is designed notes for this creature so

Let’s get back to that uh yeah i kind of just made it look a bit like a blue whale i don’t know why that came to mind but it really did and then you know textured this thing a lot had a lot of fun with making the lava below it look

Really glowy and having it look really goopy and thick as the legs are moving through it and then of course lit this creature from below because a lot of the lighting is coming from the lava for a drawing that took less than two hours i’m very happy with this one

And i think it’s a good one to end the episode with let’s take a look And there we have our third episode of minecraft mobs as fantasy monsters if you’re new to the channel i recommend going back to the first two episodes because i think those ones are pretty good too first one more so i’ll link it in the cards or maybe you want to check

Out my minecraft mobs as superheroes because those are a lot of fun as well and i think that might get a third episode sometime soon too will depend how well this does and of course if you’ve got any other ideas for what i could do with minecraft mobs leave them

In the comments i’ve actually got something i’m thinking about for an upcoming episode that will be the famous video game characters episode not the one coming up on wednesday but a different one but i probably shouldn’t be saying any of this because i haven’t decided for sure if it’s gonna happen

But something minecraft related might be coming in the future slash probably will what am i doing i should wrap this up anyway that’s all for today except of course we’re ending this video on some kind of positive or uplifting note and the thought i want to leave people with

Today is something i’m paraphrasing from xavier dogba which is that sometimes the root of your suffering is attachment to your old identity sometimes you just have to know when to reinvent yourself i hope that’s helpful to someone out there thanks so much for watching everybody i

Love you all and i’ll see you all in the next episode on wednesday bonus episode coming wednesday see you there maybe goodbye
