    Moons and suns with faces are just mesmerizing, I can't resist adding a swirly thin mustache to the moons though 🌚

    I love your moon and moon face! Speaking of moons, when are we getting your moons with faces tier list? I'm curious to know where Mac Tonight and Georges Méliès' moon rank. Aside from the Majora's Mask moon, those are the only two other moons that take up constant real estate in my mind.

    • @MechanicalFiend
      @MechanicalFiend  3 роки тому +23

      This is very dangerous, they're all too great! Georges Méliès' moon is absolutely at the top and nothing will convince me otherwise. Top tier moon material for sure. The MM and Mac Tonight moons are so opposite in every way that it is difficult to pit them against each other. Let's leave it at they are each wonderful, depending on the situation. In addition, I would probably tack on the Moon Pie moon, which also has a special place in my heart despite not eating Moon Pies. Why did you ask me this? I've now written a full paragraph on moons, nobody wanted this!

      I think you should check out the works of Karel Zeman, they have the same Mélies "esthetic" of the handmade visual effects, I have discovered him by chance after watching a documentary about his works and it was stunning! I think it was called Karel Zeman _ wizard of the big screen.

    Your channel is amazing for binge watching/listening while I am crafting something myself. Especially in the BTS videos (I dont even like them), seeing you dance is so nice! I am so, SO shy that I cannot even think of myself dancing, like I immediately cringe out inside. Seeing you dance and listening to you sing, helps me gather some self confidence in a way. You deserve so many more followers! You are so talented, quirky (but in a sweet way) and funny. Hope I did not weird you out. After seeing view counts being low-ish, I just wanted to let you know that a random person on this planet really appreciates your work!

It's actually really crazy to hear that because I cannot tell you just how painfully shy and anxious I am lol. If another human was in the same room, I would absolutely not be doing any of that! There's seriously so much I could say, but don't think I'd ever be able to express how much it means to hear that, so hopefully it's ok if I just say thank you so so much~

    The gradient choice gives the piece a really cool weathered vibe. Not sure if you intended it (probably did!) but the lighter areas match up with bits that would be more worn - like the centre of the top, the area around the drawer handles etc. Very cool!

    Love the moon sculpting on this - the craters work so well. Also the subtle constellations on the drawer sides are such a nice touch.

      Thank you (once again!), this is one of the few I feel the sculpting wasn't a total mess haha! The splatter painting wasn't really too difficult with this, I think it definitely depends on your brush size and what you're working on. Since I was using a pretty small paintbrush, it allows you to control the splatter a lot easier!
