Honestly, the way the man has his hand on his hip makes him look like a Midwestern dad vastly under reacting to something. Like, “Huh. How ‘bout that. Giant Moose Man.” I love it

[craigjoshua]

The ripples ans depth of the water is just mind-blowing detail, especially when illuminated, just wow! 😁

[bobbystudios]

Wow, this looks incredible. Never would I thought a diorama would be so immersive

The vibe I get from this isnt fear. Especially with the music choice the vibe I get is of a person who is revisiting an old friend who happens to be a Wendigo. Whether, the man knows who it is, or suspects it to be someone he once knew. They are looking at each other with a sense of understanding. 7:44 Another amazing build!

In native folklore, the Wendigo is actually a human whose spirit has been corrupted, either as a result of greed or eating human flesh, or being trained by another Wendigo. Their bodies rot and become emaciated, but depending on the region or the specific story there may or may not be antlers. They feast on human flesh (so not herbivores) and turn other humans into Wendigos, so they are essentially a native American vampire. Definitely one of my favorite monsters, loved your rendition of it! Keep up the great work!

I feel that this really captured the moment of shock for the both of them, making that moment where they both freeze and turning that into something far longer, well done :D

The lantern light hitting the ripples just right, and the ripples creating shadows on the lakebed, are some really cool effects.

I love the idea of the monster being a gentle giant that’s only misunderstood and provoked into attacking people because they think it’s a terrifying monster. Hopefully our frontiersman realizes this and befriends or leaves it alone.

This is a top YouTube channel.

All killer, no filler.

Boylei, I’ve made the conclusion you’re without a doubt my favorite human. I watch and rewatch your stuff. I wait for the next video on the the edge of my seat. Thank you man. Idk how many times I’ve watched this specific video of yours but I think it’s up there with my favorites.

Leaves crushed underfoot as the man walked, the sound mingling with the natural noises of the surrounding forest. It was cold, the man's breath fogging the air whenever his exhaled, but he was not bothered by it. He stepped over a decaying log, the lantern clutched in his hand swaying, the old metal creaking at the movement. The flame housed inside flickered, its light more then enough to show the man his surroundings.

He really should be asleep at the moment, he knew, huddled under the covers and cuddling up to his wife as they both slept, not wondering the forest in the dead of night. But here he was, doing just that. On any other night, he would have indeed been asleep, but something stirred within him at supper hours ago, something that wasnt his dinner. He had tried to ignore the feeling in his gut, but in the end he had failed. Call him crazy for it, he didn't care. Whatever this urge was leading him to, he knew it was important.

The trees began to thin, and the sound of slow flowing water reached the man's ears. Mere moments later, he was standing at the rivers bed, barely a metre from yeah the water licked at the river bed. He stood there for a moment, wondering why on earth this gut feeling had lead him to the river. Suddenly this midnight stoll seemed so stuipd. Blast, he must be going mad, listening to his gut without thought.

With a sound somewhere between and groan and sigh, the man turned to leave. But just as he had turned his back to the river, he heard a noise. A strange huff filled the air, and the man froze. That sound, as crazy and stuipd it may seem, he knew it. He'd heard it before, years ago, when he was still in his prime. But it couldn't be, could it? Surely not. The man slowly turned to face the river once more, his lantern raised. And there, illuminated by the orange-yellow glow of his lantern, stood a beast who towered over him by many feet, the face of a moose pointed towards him, small pieces of grass and other thing dangling from its antlers.

It was a terrifying sight, truly. Yet the man felt no fear. Instead, in its place he felt familiarity build up in his chest. So, this is what that urge was leading him towards. The two stared at each other, neither making a move or sound. That is, until the man spoke. "Hello, old friend. It's been a while."

That night, up until the sun peaked out from the horizon, the man and beast spoke for the first time in over a decade, sharing a long waited catch up with each other.



(Wow, didn't expect to watch this video and end up writing this little thing. But, I did. So... here, I guess.(yes, this is inspired by the comments saying how this scene sas giving off the aura of two friends meaning again))

That lantern light just gave it so much mood and interest. Really like this one!

"HOLY SHIT A GIANT MOOSE!!"

Canadians: "First time?"

[wallabaatar]

Finished watching…and immediately watched it again. Digital sculpting is so good, and the end result of this build is mesmerizing. Awesome build!!

[chazzmondo]

I love the clashing of the creepy monsters and man made robots within the wild imaginary west. This was one of the first videos I saw from you and always fondly remembered.

[lethalbutterknife]

Honestly this Monster series is unreal… both the imagination and execution of the idea! Hands down one of ur best 😌🤌

[Andrewlang]

Between your incredible work, your creativity, your calm filming style and dry humour, your channel has it all

[RealTerrainHobbies]

love the sculpt of the Windego and atmosphere of the piece as a whole. Well done man :)

[freddywilliams]

I know it's meant to be spooky but I love the vibe of the frontiersman just silently admiring this gigantic wendigo emerging from the water while it quietly lumbers on.
