FAQs:
Q:Do you use a tablet for digital art?
A: yes, I have a Huion kamvas 16(2021). I wouldn't recommend using a mouse for sculpting/ painting, it's really slow and kinda bad for your hands. A cheap pad tablet is pretty good to start with though, you don't need a fancy screen tablet.

Q: will you make a tutorial?
A: maybe, at some point. I'm still learning myself, and there are loads of people way more qualified to teach stuff.

Q: How do you join 2 objects together in blender and smooth the transition?
A: Joint the objects with ctrl+j, then remesh in sculpt mode using shift+r to set your mesh resolution and ctrl+r to apply

I can safely say that everyone enjoys your work and personally it really inspires me to explore and just have fun. Please keep doing videos like this, you're very talented!

your patience is most amazing and this look beautiful

[KantellaKEP]

I love watching all your dragon sculpts, super awesome

[mysterioustree]

I should watch these more often! Despite this not being my style, as I focus on a more realistic and intimidating approach to my sculpts, I still learn a lot from your narration and work. Sculpting is sculpting and you are damn good at it!

[CamSpaghett]

I really appreciate the voice over in this. It really helps with learning

[BigWickVic]

I like the way you explain your thoughts unlike most speed sculpts with no dialogue. Youre amazing!

[Tntgamer]

That is just awesome. the crystals look so insane

[h.d.harris_irl]

This was AMAZING!!! Also, while I love blender to DEATH, i have yet to see a single program that sculpts as well as zbrush or handles super high polygons as efficiently, its unfortunate, but just in my experience nothing has that same feel unfortunately

[immagical]

I’m a year late but I just wanted to say that you did an amazing job with the crystals!! Your previous attempt at the crystals was quite impressive with the knowledge and skills you had at the time but the improvement is so much wow
