"If I could be reborn again..." I knew the next line. I knew it before you said it, and yet - "I would want to be your child once more" - it hit me like a knife, and I started crying again. The art is so beautiful, both the diorama and the painting at the end. What a wonderful story, even though it is sad. Thank you for your amazing work!

@@sweetmiki9549 Honestly one of the worst side effects to this whole bullshit AI art craze is that people who draw or paint in that typical painterly anime style had all of their art stolen and mashed together in the algorithm just for the mediocrity machine to spit out pic after pic in their style and as a result make it synonymous with AI "art". I feel so bad for those people who livelihoods are just wrecked because of this and who now have to be faced with eternal scrutiny over their art.

You thank us for our precious 16 minutes. Please do not forget that it was you who made them so very precious with this wonderful offering. I am overjoyed to see you back. It was a wonderful, compelling story. And yes, quite beautiful in its own way. Every time I watch a new video of your creation, I have to stop and realize how much I needed this. A pause in all things but this, your journey of creation; a peacefulness despite any lurking dread; a quiet compassion even for things one might fear. Thank you. Thank you so very much.

If I remember correctly, Japanese people say "The moon is beautiful tonight" for I love you. Then the shrine god is like the son telling his mother he loves her to comfort her 😢 Thank you for the new diorama, and a kind of horror ghost story one, just in time for summer! Hope things are going well for you and your family!

As someone who recently lost a pet as of watching this video, I must say: you perfectly captured the feelings of grief and loss. Of never wanting to let go. Of wishing you could've gone back and changed something. Of clinging desperately to memories - even if they only bring sadness. Of staying close because you can't bear to let go. No words can accurately describe what it's like to lose someone. But I think the image you’ve made and the story you’ve told are the closest anything can get. Every second of this video was worth it, and I can only hope my beloved pet loves me as much as this boy loves his mother. Rest in peace, Dusk. I love you with all of my heart, and I always will. ❤
i am so amazed at how delicate of a facial expression you were able to sculpt. the mother's face holds such a specific emotion. it reminds me of when my mom is having a really tough day but forces a smile towards me and my siblings. there is something very haunting about that fake smile. conceptually, it is the heartwarming gesture of a mother's effort to present her best self to her kids. but as the kid it can feel very alienating to see your mother lie to you. i feel like you captured that feeling very well. if i put myself in the son's place, on the receiving end of that smile, it makes me want to say "it's okay. i know you are sad. you don't have to hide your tears and put on a mask for me. it is okay to simply grieve, to be frustrated, angry, sad and regretful. it pains me more to see you hide your pain."

Magnificent work, magnificent message... I haven't had my mother for 12 years now, and regardless of the age a person has when they lose her, I can say that without her the days of life are no longer the same. yourself... it's like entering another "world". Long live all the mothers of the world.
I love the story and the diorama! At first I thought it was a kind unrelated person who built the shrine, but the way I understand it now it was her son! The son being the one to build the shrine, returning far too late for his mother is very tragic, and that mother's spirit cannot recognise him is so sad! The picture at the end gives me hope they will be reunited in the next life, and maybe stumble to this little shrine.

It is always moments, legends and stories about the sacrifices proud mothers do that get me. We can see multiple examples about this in nature. Female octopuss dedicating their entire lives, the end of it, just so their offspring can actually be born, the powerful whales who stay at the side of their youngs for so long. A Mother's love cannot be compared to anything. I really loved the design of the Diorama, and the story was a good one to wake up to. Thanks for the story and the great art.
I subscribed to many other channels for their wits and storytelling . But no one holds a candle to the level of passion and details this channel offers.
The story telling was so good that I was trying my best not to cry. Then that picture at the end broke me. 😭 Ugh I'm ugly crying like I did with the shark sculpture all over again! Such excellent story telling with equally stunning creations to match. Bravo! ❤❤❤

Okay but that fact that you blended the story so well into the diorama is just beautiful. I knew what was coming at the end but I still cried because I could put myself in the mothers place and the sons place and understand how much both of them loved each other.
It's a busy day for me, so I'll have to come back later; this isn't something you can just have going in the background, these are for watching! But I have something to look forward to for this evening!

The West is suffering from spiritual malaise, and all the men are extremely unhappy to the point of taking rash action. It's tragic. One could wish that all these depressed men would gather and identify the source of the misery, and direct their rage and sorrow to the ones inflicting the mental torture instead of to themselves.
