@eaglex1007 Месяц назад

Imo, these masterpieces of artwork should be displayed in luxury places that belong to the rich. Those who are interested in collecting them are the only customers that a wood carving artist should target to. Customers have to be worthy enough to buy these masterpieces which is some kind of an artist's pride. Who wouldn't want their beautiful artworks to belong to worthy customers and displayed in a worthy place. Though if the artist him/herself is also a rich person and has a freakin big mansion then it is another story.

The dimples around the jaw are for nerves! I don't remember whether they're anchor points or something else but they've got to do with the nerves in the tyrannosaur's lips (we know they had lips partially _because_ of the even arrangement of the dimples, which I think is really neat). Glad you included them in the sculpture, it came out amazing!

@mykillnow1306 11 месяцев назад

These holes can also be seen in lizard and crocodile skulls.

This guy's good really really good but I've personally seen guys that talented if not more talented in big bear lake Ca. Well they were from all around the world but lived up there at the time I was into chainsaw carving. I'm not even on this guys level. Especially after I broke my neck. I can't hardly hold something that heavy for that long anymore. Lol..

Hey Blake.. I've been watching ur videos for a little over a year now and even though I've already seen this sculpture , I had to watch it again. All of ur work looks very BEAUTIFUL...u keep saying that this was ur favorite to do and I really think it's because this was something u have always wanted to do and u had all of the control in everything in the design of it (meaning not commission and someone else's idea) so this was something you finally got to do after all that time and it turned out absolutely gorgeous

There aren’t words to describe this piece. Simple words like beauty and amazing just pale in light of the piece itself. Fantastic job!!

Appreciate your decision to keep the void over the eye as nothing is perfect in this world . That adds character to the sculpture. Incredible work

As a hobbyist carver I must say that this is incredible!!! Your skill is very apparent! The wood is beautiful and working around the void was the best decision you could have made! Bravo sir bravo!

HUGE congrats, this is a giant, impressive achievement indeed! The reveal of the many chunks saved under the tarp at 11:44 is my favorite part - I'm so happy that so many cut-offs from this project will be saved and used in future works!

@pmedic523 11 месяцев назад

That was incredible. Absolutely astounding. Watching this I was like yea this is super cool, but then you started adding the teeth and I couldn’t help but smile and got a little teary eyed. This belongs in a place where thousands upon thousands of people can see and enjoy this.

This is INCREDIBLE and deserves to be in a museum or to sell for millions. Either way, I hope this is appreciated by as many people as possible for as long as possible! You should be so proud of what you accomplished

I build scale models and that takes a certain amount of patience and determination. I applaud your determination to work through this project and see it to the end. The result is absolutely awesome. I must admit, I don't think I would have the patience for this type of artwork. You are at an entirely different level of creativity. Well done is an understatement! Thank you for sharing this fantastic piece of artwork!

For a tree as old as this, this sculpture was perhaps the most fitting tribute to the tree!

@eviebrody 10 месяцев назад

This is SUCH an incredible sculpture. I'm so glad you kept the void! I really love natural history, and I collect rocks + fossils. I much prefer their rough natural form to anything polished or cut, because it's part of their story. So happy to see the natural flaws being preserved here :)

@susieholmes3037 11 месяцев назад

I knew it would not be obtainable for me but I said to my hubby that I wanted to buy it if I had the means before I even saw the finished result because I KNEW it was going to be epic! I was not dissapointed. I am in awe and look forward to each and every video you produce!
