Designing DEAD gODS - 20k compilation

A big issue I have with the story is its assumption that a thousand year old first doctor will be extremely good at their craft while forgetting that the reason a modern doctor in a field can get so good at their craft in their 30 years is because they are the current in a line of professionals stretching back millenia. How good is a craftsman between the invention of bronze and a thousand years later? that should give an idea what someone working alone, might actually accomplish.(And that is with Ignoring the issue of entrenched bad beliefs like say, imagine how restricted the development of medicine would be the only doctor has invested 500 years of his life into miasma or humours theory). Learning from the watchers will have to do alot of lifting to justify this.

I mean, the hunter could just be Nimrod.

🎉🎉🎉

Wow :O

this is just so amazing and creative. I love your work!

Edit: this was meant to be commented on the “age of glass” video, but for some reason in playlist mode it will carry your comment into the next video. Oh well 🤷‍♂️

Been marothoning this series all morning, great stuff my man

Your mirror armor concept sticks out to me because I had a similar idea I drew out not long ago of some extreme sunlit desert where some fauna (in this case a beetle) developed super reflect five shells that natives harvest and use in shields.

How does the shipwrite only have 3 sons? If he has only 1 wife at a time, its reasonable for him to have 1 kid every 2 years or so.
At his age he should have dozens if not a few hundred kids.

Hi I dont know if you can read this .... But I have been inspired of your works for years now and You are one of the Artists i look up to :) Thank you for being a bastion and inspiration for us

I've never rewatched any video or series as much as the work you're doing here. It's exactly what a deep part of me wanted.

The watchers are the igigi the nephilim are the sons of the igigi and man this is more real than you think

Honestly the flora and fauna is one of the coolest parts of world building in my eyes so that’s a cool section for me honestly tho this whole project I enjoy sense it’s really epic to see the human civilizations and lore and prehistoric creatures and plants

This would be very nice as a setting for a ttrpg

So fun fact ine the theories of why everything was so big in prehistoric times is because the atmosphere had way more oxygen. More oxygen in the atmosphere means things get bigger.

I am obsessed with the idea, to say the least. This is everything I love, wrapped up into one amazing project.

This is fantastic. I just found your videos yesterday and watched one and loved it. I told my self I need to download all of them and watch them in ordered. Now I just have to do this one and will be watching it tomorrow thank you

Thank you so much for this series! I hope this goes to some great places!

do insects <3

this is one of the most complex and interesting video I've ever seen !!

I can't even express how amazing and inspiring this is!

I think you need to reuse the mammoth mask from the gladiator design. It's too cool to toss out

"But it's cool and thats just how people are sometimes"

I would absolutely love to see this as an RPG setting.

someone’s been watching understanding conspiracy haha😂or mind unveiled, rob skiba? gary wayne? etc, nice work bro!

Absolutely incredible artwork and world building! So excited to see what else you have in store

Ima watch it all fr and he reminds me of dead sound

Omg the hunters entourage! Wow. The designs. I’m just stunned on every chapter. In a great way 🔥🔥🔥

Im curious on why you decided to call it “DEAD gOds” and why you used capital letters in the way you did

Would love to see your art of the Angels

I’m absolutely mesmerized by the amount of love and creativity your putting in this I’ve been watching for hours now and I’m spellbound

Matt, I've followed you since the time you make submissions to the ILM challenge! I'm so happy to see you becoming a talked-about, consistent creator. My dream is to see your designs in fluid 2D animated movement one day; maybe with the current indie animation scene flourishing, I will get to see as much.

Love your progress!

So. Freakin. Metal. 🤘🏽❤️👊🏽 I can barely finish an art / lyric book for my band’s album :) If I were a hat wearing guy, I’d tip it to you sir :)

I could never get behind capes/cloaks that touches the ground.

This game or cartoon looks stupid

These videos are really motivating me to push further and work on my own projects. I love seeing the way you're developing this world and I feel like it's helping me figure out a few things about my own process. Thank you so much for sharing these!

happy to have been here to see this project grow. congrats man

@mattrhodesart When watching the video I was thinking how your art style looked strikingly similar to this really cool Dune fan art I saw about a decade ago. So I then went down the rabbit hole of trying to find those images again, which I did, and lo and behold they were from you lol

Been following Tellurion and the algorythm was kind enough to drop the Watchers video for me. This is one of the most fascinating projects and settings and i'm thankful i got to be here and see it come to life. Keep up the work, ur amazing!

So amazing, this insight into your process is really inspiring. Watching your ideas develop is helping me massively with my own worldbuilding projects

fucking amazing dude!

What I also like about the tale of Noah is that his generation is the first generation that lives after Adam has passed away. Meaning, his father lived in the time that the first created human still lived and thus had a close connection to God/creation. Also the implications are very telling; humanity messed up so badly after we have lost that connection, that God had to destroy humanity... Or to put it in other words; save humanity, the earth and all of creation by allowing Noah and his family to start over again and provide a clean slate. Most likely humanity would have destroyed everything themself if God would not have intervened. True insane times.

I absolutely love your works and the creativity and love you put in the work :) Absolutely will track your progress.

Perhaps an idea I have been playing around with is that the earth before the great float was a "true living" silica-based being (instead of us carbon-based beings). Living slowly and sprouting giant rocky trees the likes as world trees as yggdrasil from norse mythology. These living titans would fruit valuable materials such as marble, granite and metals as well as crystals and gemstones and would be harvested and used by the early humans.

This has been such a treat to watch, It’s beyond fascinating to see this whole creative process behind such a project by someone, who I believe, is a master of their craft. Really stoked to have discovered this & I can barely wait for more.

This would be a good Vampire the Masquerade campaign

Had to pick up Tellurion to make sure this project gets completed. Your work is amazing, keep it up. 😎👍

Nice thanks for the content and inspiration

Historical fiction is the best, and your dedication to it is soooo good. In regards to nephalim, look to the connection to the 13 bloodlines of 'rulers' that have persisted to this day. How these families wield the 'powers and principalities' that are bound to the nations these families rule

This is helpful for all the newcomers

Your world and characters could be perfect basis for miniatures game

CONGRATS!

And i KNOW that women arent dragons yet...
Came to check out the rest of the series after watching on watcher designs which were top notch. but while i also got that from all wild humanoid designs that you drew they all were men, with women all just kinda falling into same generic model body type. i first noticed it with the serpent chick, which after the redesign still looked more like a cosplayer in a decent fit rather than someone who devoted maybe decades of their life to hunt, even just a bit more interesting pose could have done a lot with her design, maybe have her be more lanky in proportion and her pose be unnatural viewing with her entire body as if possessed. And the same stuff with all the rest, the average not in human or even super human proportion but just what average body type would be acceptable to advertise on, like come on if we can get as wild as possible with dinosaurs we could with girls too!
Saying all this with love and just a hope that future designs could get even better with wider variety
