So after the office refurbish we had quite a lot of space left on the wall! Why not paint a giant fantasy mural on it? My biggest painting up to this date was my Bob Ross painting on the Camper Van. But.. 9 days later, this mural was finished and I'm so happy with the result!

I talked with an artist who makes some of the most realistic fire, she told me how she does it. Her dad was a Firefighter, and when she asked him about fire, he told her that it has more properties in common with a liquid than anything else. Once she took that to heart she started drawing/painting fire and it became so good.

Hey Martina! You outdid yourself on this. I slowed down the video all the way so I could see the layering techniques you used in the fire and clouds and also how you based all of your shading on the direction of the light source. I learned so much from this video. Thank you!
This is absolutely stunning. Its enormous and yet so intricately detailed. The reflected light around the eyes especially pushes it to the next level.

Found your channel late, obviously so I'm commenting way afterward I'm struggling because I don't want to seem petitist about this, but you lass are one purple package of awesome! The courage to go into that mouth with the objective of painting realistic fire, fire building, rather than just exploding outward - wow The clouds - wow - masterclass You know that hero figure standing before the dragon without giving in to fear is you don't you! you should give her a hint of purple to her hair - seriously VERY cool work, sheer artistic courage, being brave is feeling the fear and doubt and doing it anyway, you nailed it
Love watching you do your thing. Especially with the cool music in the background. What an awesome dragon....

GIRL YOU NAILED IT. YOU NAILED IT SO HARD. P.S.--As an artist, I feel the need to recommend a final coat of glaze/finish/protector over the entire painting to help it last longer. I'm personally a fan of Liquitex finishes, but no matter what you use, please protect this work of art. It's seriously amazing ♡

Yes, there are glazing products that will not only protect the paint in a general sense but also from fading from sunlight. As soon as I saw the window letting all that natural light into the office, it was the first thing I thought of. It would be a crying shame if it faded just because of sunlight.
I really love the way you work with light and fire and shadows. It's so realistic and dynamic and I'm just so amazed with the skill and talent in all your work!
The fire came out great, and the clouds over the legs and tail do give a great effect!
Beautiful. and that little tiny knight is _SCREWED_
Nerdforge is probably the best channel I have ever subscribed to.
The final result gave me literal chills… absolutely breathtaking. It’s so awesome to watch you work, Martina, as an artist it makes me want to do bigger and more ambitious projects. Keep it up, it’s so cool to watch your talent at work!
Brilliant, I love seeing ideas and techniques I've never thought of before. Flicking the brush to create burning embers is a great small detail that creates an amazing overall scene.

Those eyes are amazing. I absolutely love the little things you did to for lighting the whole scene. The way the sun shines through the clouds in rays like that, diffusing and reflecting on the scales gives it a whole different level of realism. And those eyes. Did I mention the eyes? What about the eyes, have I mentioned how awesome they are enough? The way the scales around the eyes reflect that orange glow looks breathtaking! Seriously incredible job on it.

I love the job you did here! I've done huge walls and it's hard! The dwarfs were bigger than me! Great job! For blending colors better, making colors fade, I keep a spray bottle of distilled or filtered water, minus the chemicals of faucet water, and spray a fine mist of water, using a clean, damp, soft bristled brush, and tap the painting with the bush tips. I hold the brush straight up and down and usually use at least a 2 or 3 inch wide house painting brush... More jab at it...as well as using the brush as intended . It's great to keep extra brushes handy to always have a clean brush to use... The water helps to give almost an air brushed texture.
You are absolutely amazing!!! I found your channels a few days ago and can't stop watching!!!
Young Lady, do not ever doubt yourself. Your talent is amazing. You're fire effects are outstanding, and the decision to add the second layer of clouds really made the whole picture pop. I really hope someone in an Fantasy area of entertainment/production sees this. You deserve to be employed by the best. Awesome Work, keep it up.

Drawing on your wall as a kid Expectation: Reality: a mess of crayons and paint
Wow! 😮 I am blown away at how amazing this is! And girl I feel u on the flames...I did a much smaller scale of a firetruck with flames in the background, for a commission piece, and it was SO hard to get realistic flames. U absolutely nailed it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This brings back memories. Back in college, some of the guys in my dorm painted a giant X-Men mural. It was exciting to see every new addition appear, and when it was done, it gave me something more interesting to look at than the drab, claustrophobic walls.
This mural came out absolutely stunning. I'm constantly impressed by the straight up talent you possess for painting. Very minor suggestion, I only mention this because of all of the brilliant work you put into your lighting, had you considered adding a bit of translucency to the webbing of the wings? Basically where the thinnest parts of the wing membrane you might see that kind of pink glow through from the intensity of the light breaking through the clouds. It's a very, very minor thing to suggest, you definitely do not need to even consider it but with all of the attention to detail you put into this work it seems like a minor adjustment like that would really amp up the amazing work youve already done
Wow! It’s fantastic. I was amazed when I saw the close up of the eye. The fire, the lighting, the clouds, everything was great. I would love to have this in my house.
How can someone have such skills in painting, woodcarving and cosplay! Each and every video I watch amazes me even more!

The sheer scale of this undertaking is astounding and you completed it with an incredible exhibition of grace and talent. Do not sell yourself short, you do have an amazing amount of skill but also that rare ability to put down what you see in your mind's eye. The breadth of the colors and the beautiful lighting values are truly breathtaking, and the flames seem as though they might leap, sparks and all, from your wall. A magnificent piece of artistry any nerd would be proud to own a print or poster of, and there it is, it's history forever engraved into your home!
I was looking for encouragement and inspiration to paint my bedroom wall and watching this helped a lot, it's so beautiful it makes me wanna do something
Absolutely amazing, this is so good! You are so talented.
Martina, This is so amazing to see the process you take to create such a wonderful showcase. You are so talented. We must not overlook the beautiful editing with the music on the reveal either! i was very entertained and my heart swelled at the reveal at the end. Best to you both.
Hoping we found it “enjoyable”??? This is God damn fabulous!! Looks absolutely awesome. You got a talent girl! Well done. 👌🏽👍🏽

i truely love the painting martina. it is just awesome. you wouldn't be able to do that in my house wouldn't you? 😂😂
You guys are such a power team it's just amazing, I've been watching for about a year and I'm always amazed about how cool and unique the projects are that you come up with, how you execute on them, how you are able to solve problems on the fly, and then create an entertaining video no matter what. When I saw the title for the van painting I thought 'well they're good, but not sure you can make that entertaining...' and you did. So I didn't hesitate to watch this one, and WOW. Also I love that you used the projector to mark it out...I think that's a killer tip others can use for doing wall murals for kids walls and such. Well done, love the editing, and appreciate the insane amount of work you put into each video. Thankyou!
Very talented! I don't have the drawing/painting skills like you but i"m always amazed when I see people do things like this! Incredible!
This is amazing - what’s even more amazing is you question your talent! You’re awesome!
This is so awesome, and completely unlike any other wall mural I’ve seen done on KZread! I especially loved the billowing flames on the tower spires, and the epic clouds and light shining down from the sky - but all of it is amazing - SO. FREAKING. COOL!!!! 😁👍 Well done!
idk why but this painting made me so emotional. Im just like, look at that lil' dude go! You got this, standing there with your unwavering confidence , not even bothering to hide behind a shield while this giant, fire breathing dragon is coming straight at you! You dont even have your sword at the ready...youre just gonna wing it. Im super proud of that lil' dude right now.

Oh my gosh, the paintings evolution, the anticipation of if its going to work out, the music, its literallt got me crying over here 🤣😭 tears of joy because its amazing watching how youre literally making the dragon, the burning castle, the hero, come to LIFE!!!!! like YOU have made them exist!!! And its so beautiful!!!
If I was ask to describe this painting in one word it would be "wow" it's an awesome painting.
Thank you, Martina, for inspiring me to finally work on a story I've been wanting to do for a long time. Your image gave me the motivation I've needed and your work in general I find to be very charming and inspiring. You actually got me into bookbinding, so thanks for that.
Didn’t realize this was for the office till after the video, and was thinking this be an awesome background for an office woow
Sure do love watching one of your ideas come together. Another amazing job. His face and mouth fire is excellent!! 🖌🎨
When you put the embers in the flames, I was just amazed at how good the fire looked.
Simply amazing! My eyes were glued to the screen, from start to finish.
That is absolutely stunning. Great job. All the layers of clouds are so cool.
I´m envious of people who can draw like that. The result is really impressive. I wish I could paint like that

Keep it this way and you will become the next Bob Ross! We need kind and nice couples like you on KZread! Xoxo from Germany:)
I know a lot of professional painters that do their colors "cell" style then blend the edges with an airbrush. I've never personally seen the technique demonstrated, but I have heard it described as a blending technique quite a few times over the years. With acrylic, I'd imagine you'd just need the right reducer. I've only airbrushed with paints made for airbrush, but, again, I've seen Golden brand airbrush reducer for acrylic paints. Never used it though. Might be too much effort for the underpainting stage, though. I'm babbling. Just a thought, though. I've been a fine artist for over 25 years, but I'm not ashamed to admit your skills far exceed my own. All of your projects just absolutely blow me away. That dragon mural is amazing. And I think you nailed the fire.
I am always in awe at your talent and creativity. Just a magnificent result!
I was just thinking about this in the shower and had to come back to comment. PLEASE go over the wall mural with the neon blacklight and glow in the dark paint! I'm picturing it in my head and it looks AMAZING!
