    I think another major difference between the way alchemy was viewed as opposed to witchcraft was that alchemy was largely pursued by men while witchcraft was largely ascribed to women.
  • @tedmaust6741
    Wow, I was blown away by the transition from the bulked-out head (with eyes) to the addition of the nose/snout! Incredible sculpting!
  • @Berserkerworks
    This is such a good video. I love the sculpting, but also really enjoyed your research and interpretation of the painting!
  • @janofe2232
    Absolutely love this! Thank you for posting :) Fittingly, I'm just reading "Hollow" by Brian Catling, which is set in the world created by Heironymous Bosch, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, etc. Its an excellent Dark fantasy that I can highly recommend to everyone here!
  • @_nubmark
    So nice I watched it twice! I really like the way you describe your thought-process and the art/history discussion.
  • @stuff_by_ames
    I really liked the art theory. Good job as always Terran!
  • @Owitsch
    Man, i enjoy your videos so much! Keep going with what you love!
  • @lofiworkshop
    Your sculpt is beautifully done! Your paint job is also wonderful. Great work by everyone!
  • @PICKINS72
    Perfect 👌. I was looking for inspiration and you provided. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
  • @AndyGoodacre
    I jumped on this video straight away because yesterday I was thinking about trying sculpting (again) to make some Goblins for Cauldron. Lots of inspiration 👍
  • @NicheCrafts
    Really inspired idea. I love medieval art. Heck yah
  • @bernard832
    Marginalia is a brilliant idea for finding inspiration for creatures.
  • @lexlevels
    Your sculpting skills are insanely good as always, love it!
  • @sirguy6678
    Great video! Looking forward to the next video “Saul and the Ewoks is Endor”
  • @capnskustomworks
    2/3 of the way through them, and this is just such a cool concept for a collab!!! It would be really interesting if, at some point in the future, the three of ye all traded them around once again, so that the third artist would then contemplate the work of the other two! 🤔 Excellent job on both parts, I’m excited to start this third video!!!
  • @atelier_AG
    AMAZING! I didn't even do one tenth of the history research you did, so the extra background is much apreciated. Also, I was wondering why you sculpted a boar head for this sculpt, since the painting is clearly a fox. Now I know! 😅
