@@yrt66 A good artist knows the importance of aesthetics and aims to apply this into their work. Being able to paint or sculpt are only a part of the process.

I grew up in rural Australia in an old gold mining town and I remember going on a walk with a friend and his dad and it started raining really heavily. We were walking alongside a river and were completely drenched at this point when I stepped in what I thought was just another puddle and ended up to my neck in water without having felt the bottom, turns out it was an old mineshaft which was pretty common for that area but I'd never seen one completely flooded before.

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

Going ghost hunting in a cemetery I'm ALWAYS respectul NOT to walk on a grave. I do that out of respect but also for safty resons, esp. in really old cemeteries. Sometimes the coffens have fallen in or with very little added pressure they will fall in and the soil falls in. I had a friend that wanted to go (I'm normally alone) so we went. I kept telling him to not walk directly on graves but he did sometimes forgetting any way. Well I hear this bit of a scream, ran over and my friend was more the almost waist deep in someone's grave. He got out just in time before a big heavy headstone also fell into the hole. OK, that rarely happens, but it can and does happen, esp. in forgotten not maintained very old grave yards. He didn't have to reminded after that.

When I was really young - maybe four, five at most - I saw a movie where at one part, a man jumped into a puddle and just went underneath, without so much as a scream. I do not remember anything else about this movie, but this scene has always stuck with me. And while I would not say I have a phobia of puddles, I have certainly always been... careful before jumping in. Your creation is truly beautiful and puts into reality this feeling I've always carried with me!

[@nairbvel]

In the old Laurel & Hardy films, one of them (usually Stan Laurel) would always end up at least neck-deep in what looked like shallow curbside puddles... :-)

[@argella1300]

I mean, you should be extremely careful with puddles, especially while driving. You have no way of knowing how deep they are, and they can absolutely wreck your suspension

[@soulofresolve9514]

The fear I felt while watching this and thinking that there IS actually an interdimensional space beneath simple, happy-looking (and somewhat disgusting) puddles of water with an actual Death Worm (or other cryptids) inside of it. This is unbelievably a very splendid work! Keep it up.

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

Beautiful work, as always! What a wonderful representation. Having stepped into a puddle that WAS a lot deeper than it looked, I now double-check them instead of assuming that they're only shallow. Thankfully, I never found anything like THIS at the bottom though!

With 3d printing so readily available it is a real privilege to see someone scratchbuild and sculpt everything, thank you for this from someone who does not own a 3d printer. Brilliant

[@lindseyl8773]

It’s funny how easy it is to let your imagination run wild when you can’t see through to the bottom of a body of water. This brought back memories of being a little kid afraid to do the backstroke specifically in the deep end of the pool. I was always afraid that I would feel something graze my back and be too far from the wall to get out before it pulled me under! I overcame my fear and became a very strong swimmer, even doing the backstroke. I haven’t thought of it in a long time!

[@Viscid149]

I mean I am genially terrified of open bodies of water

[@BlueFlameVampire]

I had these fears in the ocean as a child, whenever I saw bubbles rise up I imagined something underneath me grabbing my leg and pulling me under. Till my teen years I didn't dare to go into the ocean by myself, always went when I had friends or family with me. Even now as an adult I am wary whenever I can't see the ground.

Frankly speaking, I’m not afraid much of the puddles but I can imagine what if you fell into the puddle, seeing a mysterious underwater world beneath our world and inhabited by unknown creatures, it would be scary seeing a world like this. I was always fascinated and obsessed with underwater mysteries since I was a kid, and thanks to movies and literatures etc like Finding Nemo, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and several H.P.

This one looks amazing. It reminded me a few years ago, when there was a very strong storm in my city, and my parents went to look for me in their car because there was no buses or taxis anywhere. The streets looked like rivers. And when they parked almost at the side of the sidewalk where I was waiting, I tried to got in and I stepped on a "puddle", thinking it was just that, and I suddenly sank into it up to my waist. I never understood exactly what was there, as it must have been just a street and a hole of that size had to be at least marked to avoid an accident.

You inspire me to no end. The dioramas you make look downright impossible. But you do it. You make scenes so beautiful and mysterious and realistic that they feel completely alive. You are an artist, you are a storyteller. You bring the impossible to life. Thank you, for sharing your worlds with us.

Near my house there is an abandoned construction site, and there is a giant hole on the sidewalk that I imagine was going to be used to access the plumbing. I don’t even have to think about it when I walk past, just side-step and keep walking. But when it rains the whole gets covered in murky water full of red dirt and sand, so you can’t really tell the depth of it. Every time, I feel just a little tempted to jump in this perfectly-sized puddle. I never do, of course. But the thought still sends a shiver up my spine every time.
