    We're back in The Hidden World!! What do you think of The Mailman? Would you like to see the next Guide next week? Let me know!

      That sounds good bro! I just discovered your channel and I'm binge watching mutant universe. I really like the concept! I think a new guide would be cool, however I have a recommendation:
      If you know the show helluva boss (the whole thing is on TH-cam) could you sculpt one of the characters in your style?

      That is a great idea. He made the sidekick but not a main character? Why lol

    @jaimeefoster2827 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +252

    I imagine that before this guy was turned by the entity he was a chronically depressed mail man constantly worried about how he would die. So when he was turned instead of becoming evil and wanting to kill others he found a way to warn others about their own deaths so they would not spend their life worrying about how they would go out like he did. He's trying to be helpful but has no idea that he's causing the very anxiety and depression that plagued him in life.

      Or warning others that they are going down the wrong road and should stop before they meet their demise such as if someone has an addiction, he warns of them dying alone due to their addiction and dying due to an overdose. Really making sure how crystal clear said thing WILL end them.

    You should make a “survivor” or “kid” for your mutant world and have a back story on how they got there, and what kind of hide they have.

    I’m a big fan of how you include story snippets in with the sculpting process. I think it’d be really cool if you used music that fit the mood of where the character is from, rather than the stock music, for extra immersion. It’d make a great difference imo!

  • @optimisticknight

    If you decide to repaint his bag, instead of black what if you painted the whole thing the light blue you dry-brushed on the dark blue and instead dry-brushed the dark blue over it? You’d get some contrast and break up all the navy while keeping the pallet. I think it would add some visual interest and maybe bring more visual weight to the mail bag and the letters he’s delivering? It’s just a thought. I love this series and I love when you’re doing something you love ❤️

  • @terryflynn6927
    @terryflynn6927 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love your hidden world. I'm noticing a theme. This world is where our fear of death resides always just under the surface. It's no scarier than being alive. Which is pretty scary bc we know it will all end some day. I love your work but also hearing the stories behind the characters. Have you considered developing them in another media? E.g. graphic novels, video games, animated series. They could even make for a nice dark YA novel. I would never plagiarize, but this character alone has prompted a few different horror ideas for me. Keep bringing it. You're awesome!

  • @goilo888
    @goilo888 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    @dcbandit 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I feel like these characters would work so well in a stop motion animation, like a Tim Burton style animation, grim dark and bleak, with minimal colors only used for faded lighting, like how it's used in old black and white movies to represent time. A narrator could read of the story with a deep dreaded voice as the animation illustrates what is going on, but it could just be the animation alone with reactive audio. It would be cool!
