Creative Process | “GREAT Rat”

[@thebloomingpoint5826]

This dude's notebook could be an art exhibit just by itself!!! That stuff is insaaaane!!! So much talenttt!! 😫

[@exzyyd392]

@Jenna Kern Ah yes he made the Animation and then worked his way backwards just to trick us all. What fools be we. Even if he did do that (which he didn't), surely that would be more impressive? Not only would that mean he made an amazing short film, he also made up an entire 3 video backstory for it.

[@redsound9333]

Jenna Kern so much effort for fake crap? Yeah sure

[@shlebzsvods2044]

@Jenna Kern hes just good at art and enjoys making his sketchbooks look good its not crap and its certainly not fake. You should take inspiration from him not put him down.

[@breannacoyle4371]

I like how when you described the spectacles you just speed up and were like *ok that's why here you go back to this now* it was really amusing to me 😂

[@mintyfresh2357]

i was looking through the comments just to see if someone else had already talked about that, its hilarious.

[@princebeetle]

I'd just like to say you're a huge inspiration to me and I really admire your work, me being a young artist, thanks for making such amazing work! ^^

[@aabcdee9074]

I wanna sit down and drink tea with him while he tells funny stories

Same tho

The great rat or dead sound?

So you say that you looked at cats mostly while designing the rat... I see, the cat was ratted

[@benoffmo]

Wow, I have no words, Its wonderful! While I thought your Autodale series would be the only one to spark inspiration in me to make a story of my own, This one here, Marry madness, Is actually starting to make me think of making another story again. Dont take my word for it though. Love your work!

[@Badkoydraws]

This is just spectacular, here's a man that puts A LOT of passion in his art, great job dude, you never disappoint.

[@claudiag.9307]

Can't agree more!

[@purplehaze2358]

I love the humor and personality you bring into these.

[@logicgenius5229]

David, you’re an inspiration. I legitimately cannot remember ever finding a KZbin channel run by a more creative, talented, and just downright fantastic creator. Keep up the great work! ( :

[@elizaheintzelman8764]

11:03 I never got the big gay fish reference until I started looking through your "making of" videos. Glad to see he was used in some way, even if it's just a small scene

[@tortis6342]

one can never go wrong with a big gay fish.

[@tiffany15O5]

Man I just need to say thank you. I'm doing art as a BTEC subject and at first I really hated it because I couldn't get the grades right, but after watching your videos and your processes it's really helped me out. You're work gives me so much inspiration and I love how you lay out your pages. You're my favourite artist out there, so thanks for doing what you do

[@starfish7344]

You can tell that your so passionate about this! The way you talk is just...so... inspiring! After watching this all I want to do is create!!

[@Clone6385]

You know watching this video reminded me of what jack sparrow said. “The world is the same size mate. There’s just less in it.”

[@justsomedudete3320]

I'm early for once..... Just wanted to say that your work is amazing, and I hope you know it inspires and bring happiness to people all over the world Lots of love from Brazil

[@Roboducc]

The way you go through the creation progress of characters, and the progress of your work overall... God damn David you are such a big inspiration for me and hundreds- no thousands of other people. Thank you for everything you do and share!

[@hexagondaddy1015]

The storyteller is a great movie, the dark crystal was uncomfortablely weird. I love everything you make and your amazing!!

[@redleaderdemon841]

I love how when you put the two statues together, they look very different but look like they would come from the same world and I love that!

[@lumynoxx]

God, every time you update my day gets better! I'm always inspired seeing what you create

[@veryfranticdame8707]

I absolutely loved the Making Of videos for Merry Madness! The way you talk so passionately about the process in creating this project is energizing for the artistic senses!

[@georgiamckeown3458]

I write this every time but keep up the amazing work! Such a talented artist and creator who keeps inspiring. I love these process videos so much, it did help me finalise an old character I made long ago and it really makes me want to keep making more

[@indomleon]

I remember you mentioning the storytelling existing in the bones of Trix in the first video, just hoped you had a higher chance of seeing this on this video. I think you could do a stellar job of making a short film about exploring the stories in a dead dinosaur, kind of Ballad of Big Al style, similar message to this film about how whatever dinosaur you make it on lived a rough life, but it LIVED. On a side note, I really, really love your work, especially when you work with monsters, and every time your "Making of" videos come out, I watch them over and over and over because they give me inspiration to make my own monsters and dinosaurs, so thank you so much for making these. Honestly, the artist you are is the artist I hope to grow to be.

[@kazikreatures]

I'd just like to say, holy *crap* I don't know why I haven't checked your channel in a while. Your work has been so phenomenal since the start. I was introduced to your channel via the recommended, and Sharp Teeth appeared. Not even 30 seconds into that short film I clicked subscribe. You work is amazing, awe inspiring, and just... so motivational and creative. You've inspired me to take on creating my own creatures, and your love for dinosaurs and sharing that love just... makes me really happy. I'm a huge fan of dinosaurs, and seeing a fellow dino freak just fills me with joy. I enjoy hearing you gush about dinosaurs and your films and designs and just everything. Thank you for being so inspiring, and never stop making your passion projects. Make what *you* want. Every time I watch one of your videos it's just overflowing with passion and love and its so inspiring. Keep up the amazing work, dude.

[@shadowdragon4516]

I love the story among my favourites of your videos as you got everything you wanted…

[@doodledino5413]

Doodle loves your work, Doodle thinks your work is very inspiring. Doodle hopes you never stop animating and to continue doing what you love

[@aurablades5403]

XD I like the spectacles! thanks for another awesome insight into your mind!

[@rohanfleming3328]

I love your stories so much, everytime I see get notified about one of your videos it makes me so happy. 'don't feed the freaks' and 'merry madness' are my favourite. You're such an inspiration

[@nnif2331]

your stuff is amazing. you deserve WAY more than five and a half thousand

[@penpony6641]

The way the rat speaks and tells his stories reminds me so much of my grandpa. He used to tell stories so enthusiastically and it was so endearing

[@daydreamdragoness9932]

I can not tell you how much I love your work (partially because of my limited English knowledge, but also because your work is amazing :D) Your style is so unique and creative, and the amount of work and thought you put in your short films... There are so many things that I can relate to in your videos, and they are a huge inspiration to me!

[@tortis6342]

I like how the rat exudes this sense of warmth and comfort, while the hound chills, repels, and terrifies.

[@Jean-dd1sl]

Watching your process videos makes me really want to devote more time to my own art. I love this.

Hopefully you have by now. But if not- start with you. See your passion. What makes you smile? What makes you afraid? What do you value? What do you want the world to see or be?

[@DemonicCylo555]

Man, this is such an inspiration! If my art book looked as good as your one, id get more than a grade 9.. you deserve so much love and support for this its just incredible! For my next art exam i’m going to do clay again, but take way more care and time in doing so. Just like you did :)

[@DemonicCylo555]

Ambivert is the word that best describes the rat I think. I like your work, it's very inspiring and metophoric.

[@inkdrinker1204]

Ok so I’m commenting on your latest video because I just bienged all your videos and I would like to say wow. You have broken all perception, your videos are amazing and make people think twice ( or at least me ) about things I perceived as left but ended up being yellow. Please keep it up because even if your channel is lost you will always have me as that one subscriber who will remain.

[@Sunnybias]

I’m glad I clicked on this video!! Your art and aesthetic is captivating and so unique!! Even your sketch book is a work of art 👏🏻

[@minnowthewarlock5988]

I don't know if I mentioned it already (probably have so sorry if so) but you are one of my biggest inspirations!! As a beginning artist (even if I have been drawing for almost 4 years now, I'm still young and have a long way to go) I love your creatures so much. I also enjoy your stories so much!! I hope you will continue to enjoy creating animations and creatures, as they are beautiful!!
