Sculpting a FROG in a CODPIECE!

[@Neruomir]

I interpreted it as a satire commentary on the gluttony and greed of some nobles that he was slicing his own belly to be able to eat more.

[@SomethingWkd]

Oh I like this. I think you're probably right. 💯🙏🏻

[@sonnieandjacob]

This may be super late to the game but, this thought combined with the model showing the idea that there is always a bigger fish, and the pure gluttony is a very interesting idea indeed

[@Spineless-Lobster]

I’m glad someone is bringing attention to all of the creepy weirdness that these medieval texts have! You’re super entertaining and I can’t wait to see more from you!

[@thecandlemaker1329]

You're not wrong, but the Drolatic Dreams of Pantagruel are most assuredly not medieval.

[@livanbard]

The book also no text lol.

[@lupa4262]

As both a medieval lit scholar and artist, it brings me a lot of joy to see medieval and renaissance illustrations brought to life in such a unique way. Well done!

[@SomethingWkd]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

[@RocknPaint]

It seems I just found my niche -sculptures of little weird medieval creatures- and I love every second of it. Btw, I kinda dig the unpainted eyes, the super sculpey being off-white/ pink made the whole thing look kinda dead and rotten for a sec.

[@a.harrington1634]

I love that the fish he's eating are removable. He can have other snackies if he likes!

[@andrewnicon]

I was envisioning a codpiece, but good lord that one is just egregious.

[@jackhughes8585]

This is a video I love to come back to. I love seeing these wretched beings

[@SaraDoucette26]

As a history buff and artist I must say that you are the coolest person ever! As soon as I clicked on the video I knew I had to subscribe! Your talent, humor, and knowledge is amazing. Please keep up the sick work!!

[@SomethingWkd]

Wow, thank you! 🫀

[@kittyvanoosten8578]

Oh god, the treasure trove of nightmare fuel from the medieval paintings and manuscripts! Great little sculpture, looking forward to the next Boschian horror!

[@phoebelazaro9410]

More more more more please! I love the weird historical stuff, the alchemical references, strange little mythical characters. Very well made, funny narration. Only just discovered your channel and I binged it all in one go. More please 😊

[@LoreCraft]

Excellent presentation style and a refreshing new direction for sculpting yt channels. Great stuff, sir!

[@SomethingWkd]

That means a lot coming from you! Really big fan of your channel and work 🙏🏻

[@SomethingWkd]

@LoreCraft have you seen my latest build? Would love to get your take on it. Happy Christmas! 🫀

[@LoreCraft]

@@SomethingWkd I'll go looksee!

[@LykeOmg11]

god FINALLY someone is making content like this, weird historical is exactly what the clay youtube community needed

[@paulosborne6517]

The cod-piece 'sparkle' is pure win... Great channel. I've seen DDoP scanned online, but never dreamed anyone would sculpt any of it!

[@hanshof7802]

I was drawing this one yesterday on paper and just discovered your channel. Hope youll make some more sculptures from drolatic dreams, because this one is awesome!

[@SomethingWkd]

Thanks so much! More to come but it's all happening pretty slow because of the old day job.

[@JacquelineL1019]

LOVE this content :) It's like you've taken several of my favourite things and rolled them into a single video. Painting? Sculpting? Creepy medieval art? Alchemy? phwoa! So stoked :) Thank you! keep it up!

[@petradegroot3578]

The middle ages were magic😅 i love your attention to detail, your sculptures are amazing and the colors of the paint job are beautifully done 😄

[@SomethingWkd]

Thank you so much, really appreciate your comment! 🫀

[@splicerparade4648]

I cannot believe how exactly and precisely this aligns with my interests. Amazing channel, always love finding a rad sculptor to be inspired by.

[@SomethingWkd]

Thank you very much!

[@SheldonBeing]

Brilliant work…Do give us more…

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

love this funky frog, i like to interpret him gutting himself as "making room for even MORE food" taken to the extreme

[@rem8413]

This channel is criminally underrated. Great work! I absolutely love your content

[@bubandlisa]

YES i was thinking the same. The amount of detail and time he puts into these deserves waaaay more views. Its criminal how nowdays low effort gets high views and great talents get left out.

[@naturalcambion3747]

This is the type of art I’ve been looking for. Making models of historical grotesques and curiosities is exactly what we need. Bravo sir! Your skill is exquisite. 🔥❤️‍🔥🔥

[@Quick-Silver206]

I absolutely LOVE this content! The history, the weirdness, and of course the painting. Great job dude! I can't wait to see more weird medieval beasts come to life!

[@morganw.4711]

My horrible eyes desire all of the creepy little Medieval things. ❤

[@sabineundmichael4033]

WOW! Just found your amazing work (sculpture AND entertaining video) and can't wait to see more!!! 🤩

[@SomethingWkd]

More in the pipe!

[@Bluecho4]

Fantastic. I'd really love to see more of the little guys from _The Drolatic Dreams of Pantagruel._

[@SomethingWkd]

There will definitely be more! 🫀

[@zach7]

there should be a game, maybe a souls-like rpg or something else that has models like this, based on the weird drawings monks made in the margins of books.

[@sphinxtheeminx]

Some of the best cod-piece painting I've seen in a long while.

[@SomethingWkd]

😅

[@LaughingPsycho]

I love looking at pictures of the weird creatures that were drawn in the middle ages and later periods. Seeing these sculpture videos is even better.

[@Lin1Lin2Lin3Lin4]

I’m so happy to find this creepy little channel with my creepy little eyes. Your art is so beautifully creepy

[@SomethingWkd]

Thanks so much! 🫀

[@captainjamesbrooke]

What an excellent channel!! Thank you very much.

[@christianninsananda9626]

Just discovered your channel... love it... small suggestion, it would be nice to see the original picture next to the finished statue at the end.

[@matthewdbranson]

Loving this channel! Your narration is great, your artistic ability is top notch, and I absolutely love your subject matter! There is so much material at your disposal here, I'm truly excited about what you have in store!

[@lilpixie25]

Keep the creepy creatures coming and I’m all here for it! Great job, so we’ll executed! Thanks for creating the vid

[@SheldonBeing]

Oh.. these creatures were not created with the intent to give anyone “The Willies”….these characters are actually “METAPHORS OF NARRATIVES” that basically tell the story of “A CONDITION “ It’s a progressive story of a very important person captured in a sketch

[@lokiwartooth1138]

This book has the coolest art saw it long ago In my art studies. It was said to have been a dig at the upper crust elites.

[@jamiesykes4745]

Incredible work! I've always loved wacky Medieval/Renaissance illustrations and it's so cool to see them brought to life so skillfully!

[@mrkshply]

Best channel I've come across in a long time. Love the time and skill you take with them and that you don't chase the algorithm. Medieval texts and art are bizarre so it's great to see you bringing them to life. Hope to see more

[@a0kisakura]

This channel was in my recommendations and I've already subscribed in less an hour. I enjoyed watching this video and I'm excited to see what comes next! Love it!!

[@Aliberation]

Awesome work! Keep it up!

[@deannam-host6584]

Just watched your videos in reverse order (unintentionally) and i love all your creepy little things 💕 The sculpts, the paint, and most of all your commentary. Thoroughly delightful. Obviously i’ve subscribed, but also i have to use one of my rare clicks on the notifications icon. I look forward to your future nightmares 😄

[@melliemraw]

So glad this popped up in my feed! You have a way of bringing these creatures to life, especially the details in the painting! Please keep it up

[@Bman1878]

Awesome skills. I love weird stuff like this

[@kamiochambless2590]

I definitely want to see more of these creations!!!

[@e2v2v]

Please, please, please continue to make creepy little things for our horrible little eyes, this is absolutely amazing!

[@randomsandwichian]

Finally, something to go with my bardcore and tavern ale

[@mossgrows6540]

what a horrid weird insane little creature i love him so much im in awe of the detail and skill that went into this

[@coentertainer]

Fantastic channel, and great to see Bristolian art on youtube!

[@SomethingWkd]

Bristol massive ✊🏻🫀

[@SomethingWkd]

Incidentally, how did you work out I'm from Bristol?

[@coentertainer]

@@SomethingWkd when I first watched your videos on laptop it said Bristol as the location under the video (I think it's a feature you can turn off). Now I'm on phone, and not seeing it on your videos. I live in St George and love finding cool local artists. Would be great to maybe see some local artifacts in the channel down the line.

[@SomethingWkd]

🫀

[@wulyfs]

Just found your channel! Have a little obsession with 15th-17th century little freaks like this, so cool to watch you bring them to life in a new way!

[@DaLavenderhillMob]

Dude you're a genius. I love sculpting and youtube has been lacking this Can't wait to see more

[@Jayceetheowl]

Can’t wait for the next video 👏👏👏 wonderfully narrated, crafted and presented 👍

[@txikitofandango]

It's rare to find a crafting youtuber with both a high level of sculpting AND informative and entertaining talk.

[@chloesibilla8199]

I've been trying to make an ancient inaccurate whale incense holder where the smoke comes out it's little Shrek ears and such.

[@GremlinBay]

Wicked good. love the production quality and of course your skills in sculpiting, painting, and of course coloring in the history and mythology behind it all. Your other video was equally fantastics and can't wait to see more. Also the chose topics are genius and properly curious.

[@SomethingWkd]

Thank you so much! 🫀

[@ellesse3862]

Wonderful and weird, maginalia and those strange bookplate illustrations and the bizarre beasts in paintings was part of my childhood obsession that blurred into my lifelong love of mythology. Subbed, I'd hate to miss more of your super sculpts.

[@gymnosophist7471]

Amazing! I would have loved some more context for this guy, in particular the commentary implicit in the whole self-mutilation/gluttony thing.

[@LegateGallus]

there's something magical about this strange, goofy, satirical creature that was sketched up 500 years ago being resurrected as a beautiful sculpture.

[@inchbyinchart152]

all that effort on the frog skin was totally worth it, it came out great! also money shot seems like an overly appropriate term given that codpiece lol

[@SomethingWkd]

😂 thanks!

[@Ink_farm_art]

Just found my new favorite channel!!!❤❤

[@SomethingWkd]

Wow, thank you!

[@metaltension163]

The attention to historical detail is astounding!

[@savysmarty8621]

I regret learning about cod pieces, but I don’t regret watching this video. Medieval stuff is always fascinating

[@crassiewassie8354]

Love the historical monster focus So much stuff like that is kinda lost to time and we only really remember the things greeks came up with Yet we have so many beautiful fascinating monsters everywhere

[@__mads__]

i follow a lot of similar channels, but your textures and painting are in a league of their own. as is your narration and subject matter! i hope you continue to make videos for this channel! ❤

[@SomethingWkd]

Wow, thank you!

[@lynnelewis9605]

He's fantastic. X

[@gilbertbarucdias6621]

I really love this sculptures. And seeing u doing them and talking about it, and the shots and music and pace, them it's a good experience. Thanks dude

[@SomethingWkd]

Thank you so much!

[@hellinterface6721]

[@napurvindur2673]

No need to listen to me man tho you are amazing 😅 Keep doing what you are doing, I know you will get famous ! ❤

[@annanotintunerightnow]

[@montanabaker5959]

I need moooorrre I love seeing your 3D versions of these pictures I’ve always wondered what they might look like standing before me and this is amazing

[@patrickmatamorosbenson4072]

What a discovery! What a marvel! I've never commented on a KZbin video before and I've been watching KZbin for years. Please, keep doing this! I think I've never watched something that inspired me as much

[@SomethingWkd]

Wow, thank you!

[@ursusludens7174]

I love pre Renaissance drawings, they have a certain charm

[@laurelsleeper8162]

!!!! so cool!! i love how faithful you are to the original piece, and even the changes you do make are entirely on theme and support the original intention

[@bartekkucharski3880]

Holy fish shit... thats amazing. Im not a sculptor, I paint miniatures and canvases... and people but that series inspired me to make them crazies.

[@Hydraarill]

This is brilliant.

[@soundofspace8026]

pretty insane watching a master like you work. I guess I am boring because my favorite aspect in all the crazyness of it is the pike. definitely would love to see you work some more classic fantasy designs one day as well!

[@gearmachine_4885]

Words cannot fathom how awesome this is

[@jesusdavidmartinezsilveyra3983]

There's only 2 videos here, but I'm exited to see more 😮

Seems par for the course for a Bristolian 😂 Seriously though, nice job!

[@JoshanAndFriends]

Could You Do The Cat Dude Of The Same Engraving, He Has Like a Mask Whit Ears, Your Videos Are Wonderful

[@saveusmilkboy]

Absolutely amazing! I want to see the famous knight fighting a snail!

You'll get to make so many new videos from all the creatures in this book. You can even make an entire channel based on those engravings. Can't wait to se the rest!

[@jazmynburt906]

Love it! Absolutely amazing
