Excellent personification of depression for sure. It must be a healing process just to sculpt her. Thanks Anthony.

[@carterbailey3228]

Great job! I really love this character! Could you possibly do one of these based around an eating disorder?

[@cbkqmom]

(I know this is twice, but oh well, lol) DUDE you should do a sculpt of Sean cross art.... he draws people as mental illness, absolutely up your alley

[@Emily-sv4bp]

Man I love the stuff you create out of you're own brain

[@sarahwilkinson3106]

Very interesting idea, I think she represents depression pretty good and her name is pretty cool.

[@taylorbeth9481]

Even as a representation of Depression, I can already tell she's a sweetheart. She'd probably be a Guide, but the fact that she's likely too tired to care makes her neither Guide nor Monster. She just lives through the days aimlessly, looking for something but never knowing what it is, so she collects junk to fill the void. But it only holds her down more.

[@wolvesgirl1565]

Brilliant 👏

[@IMGOINGTOCRYSJSJJSHA]

That’s a great take on it! It also represents depression really well!

[@taylorbeth9481]

@@IMGOINGTOCRYSJSJJSHA Thank you. :D

[@pencilpanicking]

Wow that was deep

[@ulfgarbjornsson1970]

She looks like my grandma

[@BlueHeronFire]

In her own way, she's actually kind of beautiful. Hits a little close to home, the tired eyes, the inability to let go... Love watching your videos! Maybe I should get into sculpting myself and do my little depression demon that's been with me for so many years

[@-melysium]

This was phrased beautifully

[@lillianbaldwin-dickey8728]

Yes!!! Do so! Believe in yourself and take any imperfections that may happen along the way as personalized parts of your art. That way, you know it's yours, it's unique and well loved ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰 good luck and I hope we can see it someday!

[@mariaaabb8968]

I love how even if her 'eyebrows' seem to be angry-looking, once you look into her eyes all you can see is sadness... like her eyes have seen so much they're now heavy, yet empty Such a great depiction of what depression feels like

[@AlexZoom5608]

Agreed

[@LunaBeth97]

This looks so much like the ruin monsters from Alice madness returns! It's my favourite game because I always love how people represent their experiences with mental illness in different media so this is one of my favourite sculptures you've made!

[@xvihata]

I literally thought it was a ruin until I pulled it up and read the title... Glad I'm not the only one who saw it.

[@crazyboutcraftz1439]

Great job. She reminds me of the old woman at the landfill in the film Labyrinth with David Bowie. She carried all the rubbish around on her. She looks so good x

[@megolson9888]

That’s what I was thinking too… both characters are so overloaded and weighed down. Do we hold on or let go? Thats the million dollar question right there.

[@dragonscratches9667]

That character has always spoken to my depression, so it's like he read my mind with this one.

[@Lawlichi]

Okay but as somebody who has struggled with depression their whole life… I love her. I want only good things and healing for Depremire

[@megolson9888]

I love how you talked about the fatigue aspect of the disorder. It’s so hard when you want to be productive but you can’t because your neurotransmitters are low. For anyone reading this who are dealing with depression: I SEE YOU. I’m with you friend, you’re not alone. Please take care of yourself.

[@haikzacharian3579]

Thank you. Its not very often that i see supportive comments like this. Appreciate it ❤

[@doodleplayer4014]

I used to just sit around all day after I was done with tools, I'd procrastinate, I'd sleep. Now I'm doing somewhat better and my sleep schedule is better now!

[@rachealgetscreative]

She's so very sad - which is perfect. Particularly the story about her falling down and then rising up and walking for eternity and that rose. Excellent work. I particularly like her face and skin. You nailed that papery, older person skin texture.

[@bumble6945]

PLEASE show what you think ADHD or Anxiety would look like!! This was AWESOME!!! It would be so cool if you made clay sculptures or resin sculpture thingys of phobias!! I LOVE your work!!

[@EC-te9fc]

The character is just tapping his foot and moving around all the time lol

[@winglessfairy564]

[@kay-collins]

I think it would be hard to do this unless the person sculpting it actually has or had depression, ADHD, or anxiety.

[@kay-collins]

@@EC-te9fc Not usually lol the tapping the foot/bouncing you legs yes but the hyperactivity isn’t always there. In fact, for females, we rarely deal with hyperactivity when we have ADHD. Actually for me it’s the exact opposite. I rarely have energy & it’s caused depression. Which I’ve dealt with for literally as long as I can remember. I really wish I had the “hyperactivity” part of ADHD that they say males usually have.

[@sadforever0129]

Phobias would be so cool!!

[@brianahawkins8124]

That looks scary, will there be more monster's that represents stress, anger, grief, sadness, 7 sins, or anxiety? See you next time.

[@lausdeandl]

Exactly what I am thinking! 👍🏻

[@ClaudiaWowPaw]

I was thinking maybe other mental illness representation. ADHD, Bipolar, BPD, etc.

[@skullboyXIII]

yeah agree, more like this one or seven deadly sins or even biblically accurate angels would be awesome

[@skunichi5026]

That would be awesome

[@dracothewarrior4316]

@Tigeroos Grief isn't one of the 7 sins. The 7 sins are Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Pride, Sloth, and Greed.

[@mattendspiel9341]

To me Deprimere is a hauntingly accurate depiction of depression. Her mouth is what chills me the most… its almost as if she can barely speak and if she did, she’d not be heard. I’m genuinely impressed with this character’s back story and how her aspect accurately depicts such a horrible condition.

[@lechatbotte.]

This is the most intriguing of your characters so far. Are you going to do some of the other emotional illnesses as well? I think you nailed this with the way she looks.

[@Tiegs_bones2000]

[@AlexZoom5608]

Mhm

[@JustAnotherPerson636]

She is so beautiful and reminds me how I feel, the stuff on her back representing the weight of everything negative thing you can't let go, the eye bags with no eyes representing the sunken hollow tired feeling that overwhelms you. Especially how you said she walks with a stiffness in the beginning it's really how it feels. I'm glad you made a character that so well represents what I feel and many others feel on a daily basis when struggling with depression

[@mizzuzie3338]

Yes, that's about right. Everyones depression is different and she's the best embodyment I've seen so far.

[@jennylawson1980]

Anthony you really outdid yourself on this one. One of your absolute best. Beautiful job. Very well done. She stands for so many emotions and feelings. She is eerily beautiful. What a wonderful rendition for your collection. Now that you have touched on dark feelings and emotions, there is a whole other realm for you to explore.

[@deeval832]

What a cool idea! As always, great sculpt. I don’t know how you keep coming up with these. They are so interesting and well done

[@jomo9862]

Thank you. She looked so like me in 2020 and 2021. In March 2020, I had brain surgery, almost died, let me say I lost a lung so when Covid 19 came, same time, if I had caught Covid while still in ICU, I surely would have died. I fell in 2020 on my Face, hurt myself really bad. In 2021 I lost my job, no home, no car, no money. I have weathered the storm and am now coming through, no I'm not married. It's just me. Thank you for making Deprimere. Great mirror.

[@bevholdsworth5924]

This little old lady hit a spot with me. Having suffered depression and on medication, I can identify. Thank you for sharing your struggles. Keep up the great sculpting, I wait for each weekend to see the new one.

[@winglessfairy564]

Wishing the best for you. Stay strong 🤍

[@TheTaylorwailer]

This is so cool! I hope an Anxiety wanderer comes next.. multiple mouthes for all the foul whispers that it speaks! Maybe sharp fingers too like claws for how it grips into your heart/mind.

[@kristena5825]

It could even be some kind of parasite, that has tendrils or something to take over the host

[@3DPlasticFantasy]

The amount of detail you put on the sculpture is astonishing. Even the little chains look amazing.

[@Just1Nora]

I appreciate all the things on her back because I know how hard cleaning, grooming, eating...all of it feels overwhelming and and weighs you down when you have depression.

[@MikaGoose]

I've seen a lot of artists personify mental illnesses and I had always felt they never really got depression quite right. Your sculpture nailed it. This is almost exactly how depression made me feel physically. Completely weighed down and burdened, so tired, not wanting to speak, aware of your surroundings but not really seeing anything, and just trying to keep moving forward.

[@engelisenart]

She kind of reminds me of the kind of inky enemies you fight in that old Alice in Wonderland game from the xbox 360, if anyone remembers that. Very cool!

[@kirsteinmcbride3096]

I was thinking the same thing!! I scrolled through the comments just to see if anyone else thought the same. Haha. I think the game is called Alice Madness Returns?

[@urdarkruler2223]

They are called Insidious Ruin. I saw the thumbnail and was immediately reminded of them.

[@heartsDmise]

Yessss!!

[@fictionalreality3238]

You can still play that game on Xbox one ^^ some Xbox 360 games are still available for purchase on the Xbox store and will open like any other Xbox one game

Yeah you're talking about those insidious ruin from American Mcgee's version of Alice in wonderland the 2nd game. Love that game to pieces.

[@masonmalo1471]

She reminds me of the ruined from Alice return to madness lovely job one the sculpture man really does look like what depression would be if it was a creature

[@slushosaur]

All the weight on her back and the items you've chosen seem uncannily like hobbies and things people would normally enjoy but in their depression even the joys in life can become an unbearable burden to those suffering, just another reminder of how they've failed. Beautifully done.

[@paulaharris3875]

This is awesome work, my friend! I don't know if you did this on purpose but, from a distance, her chin area looks like a smiling mouth - giving the impression that she tries to fool you into thinking she's okay, until you get close enough to notice her pain. So terribly perfect.

[@amberlytheharpyqueen]

I was diagnosed with chronic severe depression and social anxiety when I was about 11 years old. I can tell you this is a really really good rendition of how depression can feel, I also love your anxiety sculpt. I wish all those people who say " just be happy" or "just get over it" so flippantly could understand this. Luckily I have a very wonderful family who understands all these things because we ALL have some form of anxiety and mental illness, bi-polar, BPD, anxiety, and agoraphobia.... yay 😖

[@carbar9752]

Funny how this all started as fan characters from little nightmares and turned into its own whole world. You're literally so awesome.

[@narcolipze8586]

I really like how you personified Deprimere. As someone who’s gone through depression before, all of these traits are painfully accurate.

[@vinnieley1205]

this hits really deep, and i honestly think that it’s a very good representation of depression. as someone who has battled with it for a long time, i can definitely say that’s it’s super accurate! she honestly looks adorable and beautiful in a way, and i think she would be a neutral creature in the mutant universe!

[@thechaoticdollhouse]

I love how you used the dollhouse miniatures. It's an interesting way to visualize depression and I love how you are bringing depression itself to light with this representation.

[@rebeccalarson1511]

As an art therapist and someone who deals with depression myself, I am so thankful, impressed and excited that you put this video up, I love it. It brings a visual aid to something that is terribly hard to describe. Thank you so much for working on this sculpture.

[@Fnattihatt]

I've been battling with depression since I was a child and this.... Hits so close to home. I feel both sad and worry for her. I just want her to get better!

[@kristena5825]

I love the eyes, the exhaustion has always been the hardest part for me and it's not always talked about. Just feeling so drained and empty, wanting to sleep but never feeling rested after waking up. This is such a validating piece of art, helps me fight against the fear that the depression isn't real, that I'm just weak and lazy. I would love to see your depiction of other "invisible illnesses." It feels easier to fight something if you can see it.

As someone who knows what depression feels like, this sculpture is hauntingly beautiful, and oddly enough, I love her.

[@eddiepermac]

It’s very interesting seeing different interpretations of what depression looks like to other people cause I struggle with that b*tch myself quite often. I love watching the sculpting process but I really appreciate the backstory you give to all your characters, it really brings the art to life🖤

You did such an amazing job with this! The eyes do 100% look like a yawning mouth. As someone who grew up in a house with many different mental illnesses, and suffers from depression, I think you really did capture it quite well

[@B_Sock]

This is definitely my favorite you've done. Awesome job as always.

[@calixtatepes]

Thank you for making her into something we have sympathy for instead of making it "the source of depression" as I first expected when I clicked on the video. Though I suffer from a minor depression, I still know those feelings you mentioned, not being able to see the good or put our suffering into words. I want to give that ol' Deprimere a big hug now. And bake her nice smelling stuff, and play pretty music since she still has a nose and ears.

[@Devi_The_Devil_Pinterest]

Is it bad I want to just hug her give her some tea and walk with her? She seems nice. And she could be a good listener! It’d be nice to walk and talk with her, help her get new flowers and help her take off things holding her down.

[@clowntown3]

I had an off day with my depression and seeing this mutant honestly made me a little better

[@14nads]

Wow, my eyes are honestly welling up right now, this is so, RIGHT! That's me in a nutshell... I have no money to afford such skillful and honest piece of art, but can more than appreciate it. It truly brought feelings out in me. And memories. It's amazing, thank you!!!!, for sharing this work! I'm so going to screenshot this! 🎯🤘🏼

[@Snowkitty1992]

Really impressive. My depression felt like a gray rain cloud over my head. Everything I did was wrong. I took every blame on myself, even if I had nothing to do with it. Laughing was a social reflex, but it felt wrong to laugh later. But i like your presentation.

[@queensilian7644]

This is very relevant rn. But I also think you would enjoy trying a collab with someone? Like trading statues and painting them? Or maybe dnd minis would be cool. Like finding weird ones to paint

[@NeeraTheLynx]

that phone is gonna be real annoying now, forever ringing. i think Depression is different for everyone, mine is this goopy tall creature. will stick around no matter how happy or better i get, even if it's a small amount it will grow again.

[@tamaraeads3650]

Well done! I’ve lived with Severe Depressive Disorder for over 30 years, and I can relate to the aimless wandering while carrying the burden of a million old things that no longer matter. It’s so exhausting. And the rise up near her brow - perfect hidden hope.

[@junebuggeryy]

I know its only a silly easter egg, but I LOVE the implication that the Ice Cream Man is one of her stressors. What did you do to our depression grandma, Albert!?

[@janesmith1917]

[@vinnygothika7510]

Definitely a relatable character, hits hard, also reminds me a bit of the junk goblins from Labyrinth.

[@dellaaustin718]

Great job, she is a perfect representation of depression. I love the things piled up on her back, like the weight of the world is sitting on her shoulders. In her story she collapses and that reminds me of the time spent in hospital recovering. Love this sculpt.

[@Morgan-yl3ou]

Brilliant ! Reminded me so much of Agnes , the junk lady from THE LABRYNTH film. Looked exactly the same . Well done.

[@callybo1]

This has made me so emotional. The no energy to do anything, the overwhelmbing tiredness, and sadness that doesnt want to leave you. Then you feel guilty for not doing all the tasks you had to do that day then you feel like you cant catch up. Its a nasty cycle

[@LoriFahy]

So basically you made an Insidious Ruin, from the game Alice the madness returns. I have played that game through many times, and they appear in the sections where Alice is indeed depressed and sad, and losing her mind.

[@DoomaMasters]

I love this beauty and the simple symbol of the roses showing she wants to break free and see the beauty even if she has to bear this burden for eternity. She still has that little bit of hope that could be a blessing or a curse. I think she is beautiful and haunting and she is one of my favorite of the Mutant universe. I think she is amazing and best for the first wanderer! Would love to see merch of her to maybe to help not only support you but some mental health charity

[@Solitude11-11]

Fantastic work. There is often a correlation between depression and hoarding, the possessions, and the attachment to them, becoming an intolerable weight that fuels the depression. I don’t know if that was intentional from you here, but it struck me. I can’t say I ‘like’ the piece, it makes me uncomfortable, but then that’s not uncommon with great art.

[@bunnyfrosting1744]

I have an awful chronic illness called PMDD, basically debilitating PMS + many other uncomfortable symptoms. Some therapists in the past have suggested that I ‘draw my illness’, but it’s never really been cathartic to me. Clay is more up my alley, very thankful that YT was cool for once by suggesting such a neat channel! This is so cool

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I have just watched your last two videos out of order, and I have just seen Angor who made me feel so sorry for anyone struggling with Anxiety, but depression is way, way worse! I have a past with both Anxiety and Depression and my heart goes out to anyone who is struggling with those dark emotions. I've said it in the other video Anthony...You are a Master Maker! Your gift is not just the sculpting side of things, but the creation of creatures with amazing backstories. You are a multi faceted individual of the most incredible kind. A true story teller in clay and the histories you create for your creations. You should consider teaching what you do so well. I for one, would love to learn from you. God be with you and your family and all those you love. Have a great day.

[@anniehartley8851]

Oh my! You sculpted me...Yes this is what depression looks like, always tired, in pain because of my arthritis, shuffling along, repeating the day. The death of my mother was the worse, last 2 years with the death of my aunt and my father 18 months ago..not covid related, they were in their 90´s, but still unexpected, could not stop crying, thought it was my fault, but no. Art gets you out of that black hole, so drawing, making tags, anything, writing stories or poetry, what ever floats your boat. She is gorgeous.xxx

Truly one of the best sculptures ive seen u make so far. I think bc i can relate to depremere (ik i spelled that wrong lol) depression is a chain that seems unbreakable and its effected me and kept me from wanting to do things ive always loved and stops me from being able to feel true joy. But eventually all depressed ppl can say “DEPRESSION LOST ITS HOLD ME!!”👍🏾✊🏾

[@surreal_nihilist]

I went into this video think oh my god, did Anthony go through and create a bunch of tiny tiny objects for this sculpture? That must have taken forever, but the dollhouse miniatures work really well.

[@AvalonDreamz]

I lost my mom last year and let me say, this really sums depression up really well. I have never dealt with depression really. Sadness yes, but true gripping depression, I had no idea until the death of my mom. It has changed me in ways I am still trying just to even get a grasp on! I work with stained glass myself and I have thrown myself into my art but sometimes it isn't even enough to pull me up. It is an utter nightmare.

[@marialiyubman]

I love her the most at that moment after you attached all the accessories to her head, when she was just clay and accessories and nothing more. Like around the 7:50 mark. And then the vibe was of a hoarder.. you should make a hoarder mutant.. 😍 Actually, Deprimere could just be a mutant of hoarding, not depression, it would finally be more nuanced and less obvious/in your face than the other characters you’ve made and I love that. Hoarders are characterized by getting so overwhelmed by the possessions they collect or appreciate that they can’t find a place to sit down, wash or even sleep properly, because any space that’s a little empty can be used for another hoard.

[@witchskee]

I love this a lot ❤️ fatigue is definitely the worst symptom I have with my depression. I'm just so tired all the time, no matter how much I sleep or exercise or whatever. My heart goes out to all my fellow depression-haves.

[@NyckelKey]

She reminds me of the old muppet in the junk yard from Labyrinth. Appearenace wise. Love it! All the little trinkets weighing her down is a great way of representing depression. You did a wonderful job.

[@sofiah6997]

I'd love to see your take as a sculpture artist, on some of the mental illnesses that are out there? And maybe to sum it all up you could sculpt Pandora and her Box from mythology?

[@FrostySoul]

I like how you’ve put a bunch of random items on her, because as someone with clinical depression I can definitely say that you can tend to hold onto things that are essentially useless but have an emotional value to them. I still have many things from my childhood that I have zero use for. Most of them being small items now in a shoebox tote, I’ve managed to let go of the larger items that would take up space.

[@dreamitimagineitcreateit]

I watched the Angor video before this one. Anxiety and depression, like most, is something I deal with and I have to tell you you hit this right on the nose just like Angor. Your artistry is amazing. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos.

[@rebeccajenkins9609]

She kinda reminds me of junk lady in the laberynth movie. She looks cool. I fought depression years ago. I am glad there is more help out there.

[@EquanoxDragon]

I have been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have my own idea for a creature or wanderer based on GAD. Anxietus or Panicia depending if you personify it male or female, though I see it as nonbinary. They are a wonderer created by the Anxiety and panic that often haunts the human race. It's body is tall and lanky, looming over others like a tree in a forest, their body is covered in scratches and claw marks from their own spindly hands that grasp and dig into their own flesh from its own worry. This being has multiple eyes, showing hyper awareness for every little detail that worries it. Because of its own constant worrying and fear, it will often try to hide its face behind its hands, however even ignoring or hiding from the world around it does not lessen its own anxieties of things. This wanderer is very shy, hiding away from most and rarely seen, when it does encounter other living beings, it will freeze up, unable to move and just staring at the one who saw it. Those who are caught in its gaze get a feeling of impending doom that washes over them, like your world is falling apart around you, and you become acutely aware of all the noises around you being too loud. The only way to stop this effect is to close one's eyes, and practice breathing exercises to calm oneself, allowing this wanderer to flee while you calm yourself down.

[@otakutante]

Your sculptures are so cool and unique! I think you have captured what defines depression perfectly within her design! Great outcome! The little fork and the telephone are so cute, I can't get over that :D

As someone who has suffered with chronic depression and will for the rest of her life, I can see this as a very accurate representation of the mental illness. Thank you, Anthony.
