I would try to befriend the big jackalope

I would try to eat it.

It would make for a great mount.

" Got an uncle named Herb..." I love the dialogue you add to these scenes, they are hysterical!

[@Feathered_Crow]

I think that was my favourite line in this whole video

[@MrIWannaLaugh]

That whole segment could have been a Monty Python sketch. I kept waiting for an African Swallow to perch on the fortress wall.

I love the little rabbits with antlers 🥺Thanks for hosting the art challenge, Boylei, and for taking the time to jump on a call with me to make a cameo appearance in my video 🐮which should be up on my channel in a couple of days.

I agree with George jung. only makes sense for a holy cow.

[@modelermark172]

I think the folks in the fort could use a Gatling Gun or two, about now. That said, this is incredible, as is everything about your Wild Imaginary West! Please keep 'em coming!

[@annbrookens945]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@myarmsrgone]

It'd help to deal with the massive Jackalope swarm

[@melindajohnson3394]

I'm so glad we never flushed out any of these while I was at a desert military base out west. We prepared for rattlers but these critters always gave us pause.

[@elfbait3774]

Your Weird West never fails to please. You always come up with such fun idea and execute them wonderfully. I'd never have thought of swarming, locust jackalopes, yet here they are and they just make perfect sense in the setting. Have you considered producing an art book featuring your Wild West work with accompanying lore and story?

[@bv657]

Yes I have

[@Caudex.Itz7]

This sounds like a great idea

[@carrie4910]

Looks awesome! That’s the cutest ‘omgrunforit’ monster yet lol😂

The death stare of the gigabun is just down right frightful... Always enjoy your builds.. thanks as always...

Not quite Knights fighting a bunny rabbit but close. Love the paint job on the giant Jackalope.

[@moderatelyamusing94]

[@SPQRKlio]

You (and then Bill Making Stuff) have done so much to get me out of my creative slump and “what is the point doing art” depression (because the back of my brain says loving doing art isn’t enough), and I’m grateful. Including giving me a motivation boost this morning. I can create a world that’s a story, and that satisfies the back of my brain and adds another layer of fun for the rest of the brain cells. Plus I’ve learned so many techniques here, and have gotten over my fear of watered-down white glue and alcohol. And giant little herbivore jackalope with its cute ears and nose looks so adorably menacing 😊

[@danielecampbell7850]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been trying to get one of my favorite art/diorama/sculpture KZbinrs to do Jackalopes, and I love what you have done with a Jackalope swarm!

[@Im_Coral]

the fact that the 3D printer made such fine antlers! that's amazing! these video's are so inspiring :3

[@Penguinishy]

Normal 3D printers cant do that level of detail, I believe he uses a resin 3d printer which can do fine details.

[@Im_Coral]

@@Penguinishy I need to get me one of those :P

[@bredcubed1161]

Yup, he uses a resin printer I believe! It essentially shoots beams of UV light into liquid resin, hardening the resin at specific points to make a print. It does have some drawbacks, like there’s not really any commercially available resin printers with a bed as large as your normal filament printer, and the resin is toxic so you need a mask and gloves, but it’s perfect for models and very smooth and detailed stuff.

[@JM.....]

How he got it off the supports, I dont know 😂

[@mikeluther60]

Absolutely adorable and hilarious!

[@debbralehrman5957]

I remember the first time I saw a post card with a Jackalope after I moved here to Az. This looks very cool and so do the ones done by your Patrons. 👍🏼

[@aarons.]

Love the unique and fun theme! Excellent build!

This one is definitely among the cutest ones you have ever done...which aren't many cause the Wild West is super scary, but still! The thought of a large horde of Jackelopes attacking all Helm's Deep style is hilarious to me.

[@wAwCreator]

This piece is truly an impressive contribution to the May 5 Art Challenge and demonstrates a love of creativity. From choosing unique themes to the use of different materials and techniques, all have created a unique and admirable work of art.

Love the build, such a fun idea to have Jackalopes swarming lol. Fingers crossed we see a Chupacabra build one day. Thanks again for the always entertaining video.

[@justahappystone26]

I would love to see a group of bandits ambush a mech travelling through a forest or something similar. Also awesome diorama as always.

[@gypsypunk333]

One of your funnest builds yet! Always had a soft spot for jackalopes, and this build is hilarious (and well-executed, of course). Nice work :)

Blood thirsty Jackelopes?!!? Heck yes!!

[@horizonsforge]

"Jackelope swarm" naturally. Love it.

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

Dude! I remember suggesting jackalopes a while back on one of your past videos! This is fantastic! The idea of the hive mentality just lends this such a great amount of visual storytelling. Well done! God bless!

[@iridescent4810]

All the little jackalopes are absolutely amazing!!

Definitely one of my favourites, i really like jackalopes! It would be nice to see other creatures from wild west folklore in your dioramas.

I just lost my mother back in March. I've spent most of my adult life caring for her with some help from family. If I wasn't at home taking care of her then I was at work. Since she's been gone I have a lot of free time on my hands and was looking for a hobby. I think I just found it. I've got a great imagination so I should enjoy it. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@alienrobotcommando]

It's the story time that does it for me. Thank you so much for such imaginative videos! 🙏

[@Player_36C]

1 of my wifes uncles used to run a jackalope store... Makes this build all the more awesome to me 👍

[@JoeLahaina]

Admittedly I am very old and yet this was my first time hearing the phrase “blood thirsty Jackalopes!”!! Great work!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

What a wild build. IF the fort survives this attack, I bet the fort commander will be calling for some cannons and or swivel guns to mount on the walls or in gunports on the walls. Jackalopes can be very dangerous when they go into the swarm mode.

[@AK-jj5by]

This is incredible. Hands-down my favorite diorama you've done thus far.

[@RattifyRBLX]

I don’t know if you take into consideration suggestions but i think it would be pretty cool if you made a diorama of a fox hunt in the imaginary Wild West where the men participating in the hunt get attacked by a much larger fox, or something along the lines of that.

A 2-in-1, a beautify diorama and a nature lesson. I was unaware on how much I did not know about the Jackalope! Another fun fact is that they originated from Canada, where they were know as 'Jack-eh-Toques,' so called for them having to wear a hat during the cold Canadian winter. It is said that eventually one Jack-eh-Toque, named 'Tripp-Ad-Visor,' suggested that they move south into warmer regions. The rest is history...

[@jdtheone]

Like everything you come up with especially the alternative old west your imagination is a wonderful thing as are your skills 👍❤️❤️

On the grass hopper/locust thing - if I remember correctly, grass hoppers turn into locust once an area has a big density of grass hoppers in it. They develop wings to travel greater distances to find new feeding areas

[@missykim510]

Your world is nightmarish, but it tickles me to no end!

[@davidstreicher1103]

At the start, I thought the idea you were going for was that regular rabbits turn into jackalopes when they become gregarious. I know it’s not what you’re going for, but the idea of a mythical beast being the gregarious locust form of a regular animal is potentially really interesting world building.

[@meganoverby4321]

Love this! I had an idea for you to add to your imaginary Wild West builds. It would be cool to see someone who instead of fighting or fearing the monsters, he’s befriended and domesticated them. Maybe he could be a hermit?
