♥ Check me out on TikTok @aceofclay
I love the mutant series
I think Mangle looks great!
My idea for the next wanderer is autism if its possible! :>
do ibs cause i be shittin,
Mangles robotic parts remind me of the robots from WALL-E. Maybe you could make autism if its possible!
Pls make a female harpy guide 🙏
PLEEEEEEEEAAASSEEEEE
Someone else wants a new mutant so you can make her like otto
this is awesome. I would love to see your creations animated one day via stop motion
Oh hey, glad to see your comment on another great youtuber. Hope you're holding up well ^^.
Hi Bobby…big fan of your comedy approach with art :)
I 100% agree with you, and love your videos on Bobby Duke arts. Glad to see another one of my favorite youtubers commenting on this
Omg YES!!
That idea is amazing
Oh no! Sad to hear this is the last ‘Wanderer’. I was enjoying this series! Secretly hoping you’d sculpt OCD/ intrusive thoughts (after my having been diagnosed very recently). Super cool work again though! Looks as creepy as ever (in the good way!)
Was hoping for the same
My guess is that he makes the ones that he’s experienced personally so as to not misrepresent others. Although I would still like to see his interpretations
What if there was a fourth wanderer
Sad to hear you were diagnosed. Good luck and take care of yourself!
I was hoping to see mabye autism. That would be cool :D (got diagnosed a few months ago)
I'd love to see PTSD portrayed. I have it and I've always thought it's very fascinating since it shows the complexity of our mind.
I also have ptsd and was hoping to see a ptsd figure as well.
had the same Idea cause i as well have PTSD and i think it would be cool if he were to make one for PTSD
i was also going to make this comment !
It could be triggering but not necessarily in a bad way. It’s always healing to feel seen. ✊🏼🙏🏼❤️🕊⚖️
I think he wants to avoid sculptures based on things he does have personal experience with, as to avoid stigmatization and misrepresentation
This is really awesome. I especially love the "unfinished sculpture" detail with the wire around the legs. I have adhd too and that was so so relatable. I also really like the multiple eyes always getting distracted and seeing something new. This is so cool!
explained it perfectly :)
I only got diagnosed with adhd at just shy of 40 years old. I finally know why I do and don’t do typical things and Mangle is a very accurate interpretation of what I experience. I love him so much. It looks like he is very accepting of himself and I think that is what I like most about him.
Ahhh so good! ADHD is so tricky since it can manifest in so many different ways. It took 27 years to diagnose mine and mostly because I was not a hyper person physically, but my mind was the hyperactive one. The unfinished projects are so frustrating I struggle with it too. It’s very impressive to see you create this huge mutant project and not stop. Gives me hope! Since I also have so many projects and I tend to leave them eventually. One of the hardest things to explain to people too! Thank you! Loved Mangle! He would be my bestie.
I love how he has the brightest attitude about explaining lore while making the darkest things you'll probably ever see in character design, good job, love it!
Accurate. That’s how it is. I never thought I would see my issues in physical form 😅
The fact that he build himself got me like… oh. The many eyes… yes! Exactly. Omg.
I feel like I am always doing so many things but I often left them unfinished and I keep a journal because I forget. Also, I have notes of when I did this or that and when something else needs to be done because… I forget. Usually I’m working and I remember that I wanted to check something and boom, distracted. I have learned to exist like this but it was an interesting journey.
I’m 33 and just recently (28) was diagnosed with ADHD and boy oh boy… yes. Makes so much sense.
I already had diagnosis of depression and anxiety so I never thought much of my weird brain antics, but now that I know I can look back and make sense of everything. If only mental health was taken seriously. My life wasn’t terribly hard, but it would have been better. Maybe my depression and anxiety would have not developed.
Oh wow same here! I'm only 19 but I got a depression and anxiety diagnosis as a teen... and I'm finally going in for an ADHD assessment today actually!
Op, this is important, have you found out about the shoes thing yet and does it work for you?
I was the same way, almost to a T, and then got on Strattera, it helps your neurons fire and connect properly rather than just being speed like the other meds. It, surprisingly, stopped my anxiety too, which I hadn't planned on medicating, so that is nice lol. I feel like I have superpowers because sometimes I walk into a room, think I forgot what I was doing, then the memory pops back into my head and I can actually do what I was attempting to. It's pretty amazing to just have a freaking memory that works lol
So relatable haha I thought I wrote that comment!! I’m 28 and only got diagnosed last year. It was such a relief to get diagnosed and help explain why my brain does the things it does. I started getting help and my meds I think completely changed my life. My anxiety and sense of dread and overwhelm by the most simplest of tasks (that seemingly everyone else has no issue with) has slowly gone away the more I’ve been able to focus and accomplish things
I have anxiety, ADHD, and Autism.
Whenever I feel bad about my mental health, I just remember that I'm a very kind person and very considerate of others becoz of my conditions.
I'm not invalidating your experiences or any others, but it's good to see the positive sides of things, especially coz ADHD and Autism can't be cured (there's nothing to cure).
I have a feeling these sculpts are actually gonna turn into a fully fledged video game and I’m here for it
Beautiful piece Anthony! I love how industrious Mangle is... starting as a ball that just rolled around... and then figuring out how to start building himself into a functioning being. As a person who is also challenged with ADHD, I see it as both problematic and a superpower. There are many great artists and creators who have ADHD. It is a fantastic strength to have endless ideas! Most people can't be as creative as a person with ADHD. But it does present challenges that make it difficult to function in the same way that people without it do. Inside Mangle's torso, I am imaging a beautiful, glowing heart that gives him strength and hope to push through and find ways around the obstacles. I believe as he navigates through life, he will find ways to complete his body... reconnect the broken wires and continue to add parts to until he feels whole. Different from others perhaps, but whole. All of those extra eyes will come in handy in searching for parts!
This hits home so much. Its wonderful to see a real raw representation of adhd instead of all the people out there portraying it as cute and quirky. It can be so emotionally painful and extremely frustrating
I personally blame social media and tv tik tokers self diagnose all the time because its a trend they think its a fun privilege but its not they also pretend to have autism and its not fun either life is very difficult for us and again they think its a fun privilege you can wave around I wish more people talked about it more often its a problem that needs to be fixed.
I can relate to the frustration for sure, just last night I was putting batteries in a remote controller, i set the one cover down, walked across my office and put in the batteries and then immediately couldn't remember where the damn cover was. Took me a bit to realize the cover I was looking for was allready back on the remote and that I additionally didnt know where I put the second cover. Found it on my desk...didnt even know that was the cover I was missing at first...I was pissed lol
@@kimixachi94 self diagnosis is not valid.
@@LightBoltDash Period
@@kimixachi94 i would get an actual diagnosis if i were you.
You did an amazing job creating the personification of a very real struggle. Most of the time, unmanaged ADD is the cause of other issues. The truth of it, adults who have untreated ADHD also suffer from anxiety. It’s hard to quantify boundless energy with the inability to stay on task. Once treated, we still have boundless energy, but we have the ability to see the functional timeline between where we are now and a due date. We still have many irons in the fire, but we are aware of the process of each task and where they fall within a timeline, therefore creating a good pace to get boxes checked without a stressful cram session moments before the bell rings. I’m in my 50s and I take medication for my ADD. I was only diagnosed in my 40s. I’m also a teacher and never considered my time management issues as stemming from ADD until a psychiatric nurse practitioner pointed it out during a med management meeting for my depression. Having less stress over a list of well managed tasks has improved my anxiety. Improved anxiety has lessened my depression. As an educator, I understand parents don’t want to over medicate kids, but… refusing to acknowledge and seek management options for childhood ADHD can lead to difficult situations as an adult. In my day, I was just labeled a behavior problem, overly emotion, and unfocused. In reality, I didn’t have the skills to self-regulate my ADHD. The fallout of my “irresponsibility” for the focus required to complete tasks lead to me getting in trouble and then to meltdowns I had over what I perceived as unfair punishment. Now we understand the brain chemistry behind ADHD, we can teach the skills.
Same. I was diagnosed at 30, because the doctor doing my son’s assessment referred me to someone for my own assessment. It made a big difference for me.
As someone that suffers from Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD from military service, I can personally relate to each of these sculptures you do. You are spot on with describing their personalities, especially this one. Great videos!!! And thanks for bringing awareness to these disorders!
Worth the wait Ace! I have a friend with ADHD they said this does represent ADHD. Mangle looks awesome!
Can second that
His hands aren't doing anything though ,,,,could have used a manic grasping pose to show how we like to move things and touch them.
I was diagnosed with Asperger's (a form of Autism, for those who don't know) and ADHD 2 years ago and I was shocked by how perfectly this describes me (aside from the stuttering)!
I was also very surprised when you didn't brush him with Clay Softener! You must've thought it would add to the weathered, old metal look, and I totally agree!
I was diagnosed with both as well!!!
I don't know why I got so excited.🤣
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
I have one question tho. Do you also feel like some of the symptoms for ADHD or Autism doesn't apply to you? Like the one about "not getting jokes" doesn't happen to me. It makes me doubt my condition even tho I was already professionally diagnosed.
@@charfree6888 that's the thing about autism: it's different for everyone. What applies to you may not apply to someone else with the same diagnosis and vice-versa
And to answer your question: yes, sometimes. Most people with ADHD can't sit still for 2 seconds and can't focus on anything, but it's the exact opposite for me. Sometimes, once I get hyperfocused on something, you'd have to grab me and drag me away from whatever i'm currently doing. Other times, I can't focus on something to save my life. Also, I can sit as still as a statue when i feel like it.
Fellow Asperger’s adhd combo
I love how you've embodied these mental disorders. For someone who has all three they are on point. Great job!
Really enjoying this series and learning about your original characters; the wanderers and the mutants. Very cool and interesting to see your interpretations of these mental illnesses personified.
I really like that he is overall very nice, and doesn't seem like he's doomed like the others.
If you were to do another wanderer, I'd be delighted if you did hyper empathy syndrome, which both me and my girlfriend have. It's a very odd issue where your own emotions get mostly or entirely reliant on those of others. You actively try to make people happy, as that makes you happy, but you absorb any negativity around you like a sponge, and you can't escape it. It's very strange, but it can actively help people as you are able to tell how they feel very easily.
Can't wait for the next mutant universe video, and I've already left my ideas in some past vids, so I'll just hope their on a list
Omg hyper empathy syndrome sounds like what I deal with
@@angelaschultze2404 you might have it then. It's not entirely uncommon, and generally starts from simply being compassionate
I love this series and sad to see it go. A mutant with PTSD with a split head would be right up your alley but I understand all series’s must come to an end at some point.
You rock at what you do and your mutant universe is awesome 😎
It would’ve been interesting to see DID portrayed as well.
Or autism I guess
Oddly enough the design of this Wanderer has some components that could relate to OCD as well, especially the wandering eyes being used more figuratively as a form of intrusive thoughts interrupting the train of thought and never getting a moment’s rest. This is by far my favorite face design you’ve done as well, perfectly sinister in a minimalist way. The expression says it all.
I love that you also represented some of the strengths of ADHD (problem solving, creativity, curiosity, friendliness, etc.). People so often think of ADHD as a mess, or something that hinders you, but it’s truly a superpower in many ways. Thank you for giving a creative spotlight to neurodivergency ❤️
Yeah, as someone with ADHD I am far too used to ppl talking about the negatives of ADHD , and only talking about those things. It's nice to see ppl talking about the positive things.
This is the PERFECT REPRESENTION of what we feel and deal with. He’s amazing. Thank you.
Yes,this one is my favorite since it really describes my ADHD and looks amazing
Mangle looks exactly what i think anxiety would look like lol. Mangle also looks amazing and has a great backstory like all the other characters lol. Even though the video is a little late it's still an amazing sculpture and I can't wait to see the rest of the mutant universe! Keep up the amazing work and remember just to take your time because when you do it's amazing (not that when you don't it isn't but still)
Anxiety usually comes hand in hand with adhd so that kinda shows how accurate this is. :3
The representation of ADHD looks so accurate and awesome in this physical form.
I've not diagnosed yet but some of the symptoms really fit in my situation.
Your depression and anxiety sculpts really resonated with me, I'd love to see " grief" and " self loathing" sculpts
Amazing work btw ❤️ it✌🏻
As someone with ADHD i think you did a good job
I love that you speak on ADHD. My son has it and it is a struggle everyday for him. This is why you have become one of our favorite creators!! Thank you for representing the ADHD community.
I wonder if autism can be sculpted as a wanderer tbh.
Im autistic myself on the not-so-obvious side of the spectrum! :D
(Off topic but it was just something I wondered lol-)
He said this was the third and last wanderer of the universe.
I have a friend with ADHD I’d say this is close to how she functions. Always distracted, she sees something stops to fix it even though she’s late for an appointment. Sometimes lots of distraction. She’s smart but can’t stay focused without gentle guidance. I love my friend she’s a good friend and her needs are causing me to do better at being patient. I too like anger commenter wish you would personify a few more. It’s cathartic for many but helps others understand how it feels.
I just wanna say, I have ADHD aswell. I almost wanted to cry knowing that there are other people struggling just like me. An I hope that one day someone can shed some light on ADHD so that people without it can be more aware as to why we are the way that we are and just know how focusing on one task to the end can be super difficult. This video gave me a lot of time to think in between voice cuts. This video was a huge eye opener I should say (no pun intended). Love your work, please continue to do what you do.
You did an excellent job not only with the sculpting and painting, but with personifying ADHD. I know what its like having ADHD, and the way you wrote this character is really fitting
I love your sculptures, but I personally didn't feel this one captured ADHD as well as it could've. As a person with ADHD myself, I feel like I'm constantly running on a motor. I have to keep moving constantly, and I just feel like this sculpture didn't really capture that kind of energy, the need to constantly do stuff.
Although, I know everyone's experience with ADHD is different, and not all people with ADHD are hyperactive. I just feel like if you were going with a more broader portrayal of ADHD, that sense of movement could've been implemented somehow.
That's just my opinion though, and otherwise I really like this one!! I love how friendly he is
Idk why a relate to ADHD so much. I should check on that. Anyway, you did a fantastic job on this one, especially with the previous ones, they all look accurate to how I feel. Can you please do OCD and Autism next? :)
I love the wanderer series and seeing ADHD last is so appropriate. I'm a fellow ADHD sufferer and actually used your videos as a coping mechanism to help me concentrate on my own art. I had a hard time not scrolling on my phone so playing your videos gave me the stimulation I need as well as teaching me so much throughout all of your content! Your channel is my favorite even years after watching
The way you posted this the day I'm getting my ADHD assesment done as an adult! Thank you for this series, sad to hear it will be the last one :( hope it comes back in the future potentially!
Mangle seems like a person/robot I could get along with! Since I was born with ADHD I could see how i could be his friend easily!
Also great job on your sculpts! They are very creepy but cool at the same time! I would like to see another series of this but it’s like an alternative universe! Keep up the good work!
hey, we have a lot of characters, but no scenery, how about a description of the world?? i would love that, your vids are awesome, keep up the good work
I absolutely love him! Being someone that suffers from ADHD the story of his creation and existence is absolutely perfect.
This is so interesting. I have ADHD and you did a really good job with the portrayal.
Though personally, I see my ADHD less as a spooky monster, and more as just a little child that likes to misbehave. I have to take care of her like I would parent an actual child. When she’s calm I can focus on my work, but when she wants to throw tantrums I can’t do anything and it’s frustrating. This is also why I don’t want to have actual children. It’s exhausting enough dealing with the one who lives in my head.
Sometimes I love her though. She’s smart and creative and kind. She’s taught me so much and given me so much empathy and patience for others. I imagine this is how a lot of parents feel about their kids. Annoyed but you still love them and need to accept that they are yours to take care of.
This is accurate as hell for me. My ADHD is making my focus on things and understanding turn into SHAMBLES. I love your representation of all the Wanderers. Hope to see more of your work in the future!
Bro I have ADHD and I love it! It looks super cool! I love how he’s part robot.
As someone who has struggled with ADHD my whole life I really relate to this character. Excellent job on this sculpture!
I love that he's intelligent and funny and compassionate, but also initially off-putting because lord if that isn't the experience of so many of us with ADHD
Just ordered the "dentist" set and of course the ball and carving tool set. I really appreciate as you share your tips n tricks and the tools you're using. 😊😊
Yup, that's how I feel half the time. You nailed it!
Definitely learned a bit more about myself and my younger sister in this video. She's diagnosed ADHD from a young age and I'm scared to get diagnosed, I have a host of other issues and don't really want to acknowledge another one. But Mangle is awesome and I loved this sculpt so much.
I've never related to such a grim idol before. The multiple sets of eyes to convey the input overload that comes with a spastic stream of consciousness. All the broken wiring you use to illustrate how that information can't physically translate into action for the poor soul. The barrier between his impaired body and his increased perception being a cold metal to flesh border reminds me of how hard it is to appreciate the advantages of your own condition and how easy it is to convince yourself you're simply broken. What a deep and poetic figure.
I'm really loving this series of sculptures.
This meets how I feel. You've done a good job Ace.
As someone with ADHD it is emotional to see this and hear the back story. Thanks for bringing light to mental illness is a way people an understand. Love your work
That looks amazing!
The details are so well sculpted
Could you do Maladaptive Daydreaming next?
I like how when the light reflects in his eyes, they really look like the are looking in different directions
I truly love Mangle's story and meaning behind all of his details. I really resonate with him and he does look like the friend you wish to find in your life ♡
I feel Mangle. I never finish what I start, even binge watching tv shows I love. I leave rooms half clean and laundry half done. Thankfully, I have my husband and son to help. Thanks for putting a “face” to it.
This is so cool! Do you think you'll do a sculpture that represents autism? Just wondering 👍👍
HOLY FRIG THATS WHAT I WAS SAYING-
So excited for this. I am loving this series. I am learning so much from your sculpting videos thank you so much
I honestly love the fact you did my idea and brought it to life. This is so good, Mangle is scary in his own way but you also just wanna be his friend
Thou hadst' *SUMMONED* me!
Just finished watching and-
_I can practically _*_hear_*_ what his voice should sound like..._
He gives off "awkward teen" vibes.
Wow I have that
As he got closer to being done and more of his story was told my only thoughts where he seems like such a lovely lad. As A person who was diagnosed with ADHD early on in life(and knowing how lucky I am) this hit very close to home. I'd love to just spend a day with him, he seems like such a nice being. I love this universe and am enjoying this ride and will be here till the end.
Man, if this ever got turned into a show or video game, I can just imagine a scene introducing this guy
He's rummaging through a pile of trash for new parts when the protagonist accidentally spooks him, causing his head to turn around so fast to see who it is that it pops out of his robotic body. His head roles over to the protagonist's feet, where after taking a second to recover he looks up and goes "Oh! Oh dear um, could you- could you please be a- of service and put me back th-the robot- my body?"
He seems like a really fun character to be around
I have the combined version of ADHD. When u said, he is half robot, U had me captured completly. Many eyes, i feel that. Witty but stern, I feel that. No dirrection, but still have other places to be. Oh lawd..... i have never shed a tear for art, but u nailed it man. I feel like u sculpted "the real me" out of clay and steel (tough and brittle at the same time)
Thanks man u kinda made my day.
Good work !!! - i want one.
I am literally fighting for my life! I do chemotherapy, immunotherapy and human antibody infusions every week. I've been given 6 mo left to live as of a year ago and now he tells me it could be any day. I love this sculpture and the depression and anxiety one. They bring to life what it looks like all combined to be me daily. I wish I could afford them! I love them so much! Thank you for signifying us that struggle with emotional issues! We all need a release. I hope you found your. I'm sure it's the sculpting. All I do is read now amd watch videos. I can't do art anymore. Sadly. My body is very weak and in a great deal of pain! Hugs! You nailed it! Great job!
I REALLY hope the Mutant Universe gets a show, or animated series of some sort at some point in the future. You always give your characters so much personality, and I'd absolutely love to see them in action.
Mangle is perfect!! I’ve never been diagnosed but ADHD is definitely something that I relate to. I love that you chose to leave Mangle “unfinished.” I purposely do that with my own art pieces to try and give them more meaning. This is probably my favorite monster!!!
For some reason I just want to give him a hug, he looks like he wants a hug. Like, creepy cute, he does also look like how ADHD feels! Thank you!
I totally understand how you feel about being the “poster child of ADHD” I got my diagnosis when I was 6, but my parents wanted to have me tested from as young as 3. As I grew up, it became clear that my case had symptoms that overlapped with autism. Developmental delay, trouble in social situations, and susceptibility to sensory overload were all things I went (and still go) through. It’s a daily struggle, but the way you described Mangle reminded me of me. I’m so glad I can see myself as this cool little robot fellow :) New sub!
As a fellow human whose been diagnosed with ADHD, I found this super creative, and when you mentioned the part of some of us never finishing projects I simply laughed, I have a blanket I've been making but lost motivation that could also be a reason he is not covered completely with the pipes
Mangle was worth the wait! You nailed ADHD. It's kind of you to shine a light on mental health.
Aw man🥺 I was hoping to get to see your portrayal of all kinds of mental health characters. 🥺 I’ve been digging the ones you’ve done so much!
I have ADHD and this is a good description how I fill all my daily bases
Oh, I ADORE Mangle. I'm also ADHD, and although I wouldn't have put together that that's what he represented without the full story, now that I know it I really appreciate all the little details and references to the results of having it. And his personality especially sounds delightful.
I know I'm a little late but WOW this is probably definitely one of my favorites that you have made! I love his face and the wires on the body! I have ADD but I can still connect with his meaning and the details put into him! You truly have a gift!!
I love the sculpture! I'd like to see maybe something symbolizing Hyperfixating in Mangle as well? I find that hyperfixating is a huge part of how my ADHD portrays itself, but also small things like stimming or being sensitive to lights, sounds, temperature, and visuals
It's really interesting but super annoying, at least to me when I get sensitive to stimulating things
This series has been one of my favorites! It would be cool to do a Phobia Series ... I'm a photographer and I did photos depicting different phobias but I think sculptures would be even better
An animated series exploring this world would literally be all I watch 😭🙏
This is actually so cool
I don't know what this says about me but from the way you describe him I actually want to meet him and give him a hug. Out of all the mutants and characters that you've created this one is the one that I gravitated towards most.
Probably one of my favorite sculptures you've done.
Really loved this series and your interpretations. Looking forward to the next.
Honestly, this might be my favorite sculpture from you yet! I love his many eyes, and his oddly friendly demeanor (considering his universe) makes him such a pleasant character. The way you described how he'd move, I could picture his silhouette loping in the background of a game as the player passes an area. For a first time player, it'd be a great "Oh my god. What was that!?" moment
Mangle is my favorite character in this series so far! You did a great job on him and his storyline
Some of your best stuff the last three sculpts! Love em!
Maybe you could do *rage* next since you have anxiety. Rage can sometimes be a product of anxiety actually. It’s something that wells up over time bottled in your soul and some people don’t know how to let it out, nor would they want to at the time. It’s like heat bomb, it will increase in heat flowing brighter and brighter until it explodes unless simmered. I know this because I’ve experienced it several times. Would be a fun experiment. Also kind of want to see what you would do with a rage like monster.
I actually have my own mental manifestations of my anxiety, paranoia, and hope. So this was super cool to see this guys versions of emotions, and disorders.
I love them. Please don’t stop! So many more emotions to do!
I think painting his eyes all black was a good choice, because to me it looks as if his pupils are extremely dilated like when you look at something/one you love or are interested in, as if he’s so fascinated by everything around him and everyone he meets he’s like a wide eyed puppy almost:)
I love how it turned out! I’ve been away from Your channel for a while only to return to this amazing series. Out of the sculpts so far this one is the best!
Thank you for making this people tend to not see how bad adhd is and how it’s hard to live with it. People tend to not take it seriously ever. So thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I love him so so much!! He's my favorite so far. Well done 😍😄
this is probably my favorite sculpture of yours so far!! i love all the extra wires sticking out and making it look a little chaotic and distraught
The wires give me major electricity vibes, so I would be surprised if he’s the type to have twitches from being overwhelmed. I’m not ADHD but I’m on the spectrum, so I can relate to him.
God its been so long since ive been to this channel, and i stubbled here on accident. once i heard "i everyone its ace of clay" i lost it all memories came flooding back in. you hold allot of inspiration to my past art works! I wish you the best
This is amazing. I have undiagnosed ADHD. But I do have friends that have ADHD and I will definitely show them this. I'm sad to hear that this is the last 'Wanderer' I was highly enjoying them. Hopefully they will come back in the future! I would love to see OCD and see how you would portray it (being someone who has it) I would love to see it in human form. Sorry this is super long didn't want it to be that long but there is so much I want to say. I'll end it now. Keep doing what you're doing! Great job!
Hey man I know I haven't been following you long and this means next to nothing from a stranger but I'm oddly proud of the work you've been churning out as of late, these OC's feel particularly creative, personal and executed to such a fantastic finish. Mangle and Depression wanderers in particular!
Woah mangle looks good 👍 Good job can't wait to watch more sculpting videos!!!
Hooray! Thank you so much! Looks awesome and speaks to me on a deeeeeeep level ♥
What a lovely tribute to something largely considered a "problem" and viewed with negativity. I honestly wouldn't mind having him hang out on my own shelf at home, if you ever made a print with Mangle on it I'd absolutely buy that. He's such a cool-looking friend, I'm glad he exists now.
to be clear I also have ADHD and while it definitely feels like a burden more often than not I'm trying to see it in a more positive way, since it's a part of myself I can't get rid of or "cure."
