    It might have been Ace of Clay who inspired me to start sculpting again, but it was North of the Border who inspired me to finish my sculptures. "It doesn't have to be good, just good enough" is something I tell myself in all aspects if life now :)

    I'm not a gamer so I don't understand many of your creations but I do recognize your model making abilities and they are many and impressive.
    I'm curious about one thing and that is the grid mat that you often use. If you drop or forcefully slam a piece of clay onto it, the mat will magically make the clay conform to your wishes. So on the really small stuff like the figures, why not make them big then toss them on the mat to shrink them? Also, where can I get one of those magic mats?

    I'm only getting round to watching some youtube now. I've been busy playing this non-stop since release!
    Incredible design, even more so for wearing a camera for glasses!

    This guy is the best because he makes sure to get EVERY little detail.

    I watched this while waiting for my joycons to charge so I could get back to playing. Thank you for giving me more zelda for my zelda.

    Your wheels are actually fairly accurate to the wheels in the game. Amazing job!

    I am ecstatic that you made this. I have been showing everyone who is remotely close to me the 2 second clip of this blocky boi from the trailer. It never fails to make me laugh and I love it. I keep making jokes about it not being a boulder, its a rock!

    I'd love to see you make MR. WOBBLE vs. King Dark Wobble from the Ganja White Knight series they have going on. I bet you'd make it epic!!

    First off I want to say that, because of you Adam, I got inspired to practice making things out of clay too! I didn't think I could, but I learned otherwise. Its not as detailed and good, but I'm learning and love watching you use different techniques and tricks for all of your projects
    this copyright thing is REALLY starting to go TOO FAR... you can't make fan art now? You can't sing your favorite songs, you can't do anything period now otherwise someone will claim you. its ridiculous, seriously. Its getting to the point where people can't even breathe without someone saying, "hey I own that air you're breathing" UA-cam was meant for ppl to be themselves and express yourself. Upload videos and share the things you want to share, with the world. Now there are so many rules, it's impossible to do anything without walking on eggshells. He should be able to make stuff and share his talent with us WITHOUT worrying about ppl claiming his art that HE MADE with his own bare hands. I duno, it just makes me so mad that he has to water down his creations simply due to copyright worries :(
