I just wanted to say thank you to everyone out there that commented and shared your love, support, understanding and even personal struggles with life! The overwhelming amount of love in the comments definitely reinforces that the youtube art community is a caring and strong community! I posted both videos and took the past few days to catch up on rest and spend time with the family, but tonight I went through and personally thanked each and every one of you loving people, and if I somehow missed anyone- Thank You So Very Very Much, from the bottom of our hearts thank you!! 😊 ❤️❤️❤️
To me it's so obvious the hate comments don't actually care about the charity, and they're using it as an excuse to disguise their entitlement because they want a new video, they want an update, they don't care about people's personal lives all they care about is watching a video. I saw people @ing ten hun over the months telling him to interfere, to make you pass the collab to someone else, and I think it speaks volumes that he gave you space to take care of yourself and your family and recover. The beauty of the collab is in the community working together, those comments directly contradict this sentiment while claiming to care. It's entitlement. Glad things are starting to get better, good luck with the surgery and the mold situation.
I want to say thank you- for the kind words, support and understanding... it's definitely the community that I thought was out there and it speaks worlds hearing the love from everyone around!! Thank you so very very much!! 😀🙏
Some people have forgotten how to be human beings and treat other human beings. Ive always thought this was a big challenge even if things go to plan. Was really sad when I saw the update, but I was more sad for the house situation, not having a roof working properly, the stress of keeping your family safe... Hope you get back to a point were you feel like your house is cozy again. Thank you for the update and not giving up, and focus on you and your family. Also best of luck on the katana!
Please don't be sorry that life happened to you. Haters are going to hate, but those people are just miserable at the end of the day. You went above and beyond for an art collaboration when you didn't have to, and for that, we are all amazed at not only the level of work you put into it but the care you put into it. Thank you for your time and efforts.
And thank you so much for taking the time to show some love, support and understanding- I took a few days to catch up on sleep and spend time with the family, but I just wanted to say thank you so much- it really does mean a lot!! 😀🙏
I saw other video before this... somehow I didn't get notification even while I am subscribed... I am sorry for unfortunate events happened to you and your family. I know how it is difficult to follow your passion in off time of work and time when you don't need to give it to family. Seeing what you did to the piece? How you not only added an awesome art to it but fixed, maintained it and took care so in future nothing bad will happen to it... It was worth every second of the wait. Magnificent? Astonishing? Awesome? I can't find enough words in dictionary to describe how great it looks. I hope the worst is behind you. I wish you and your family will struggle less with medical issues and wish you all happiness :)
Awwww man thank you so much for the kind words and understanding!!😀🙏🙏 It definitely has been a learning curve over the years to juggle the day job and family and passion work... but throwing everything else in the mix was just rough to say the least lol. And as behind as I was with everything it was a tough decision to not take the time and fix/upgrade everything as well... and I'm so glad people like the art but also those little details on prolonging the life of the piece as well. Again thank you so much for the support!!
Holy Crap! My first ever super thanks too!!! I'm sorry I took the last few days to catch up on sleep and spend time with the family- and just getting to everyone's comments now- but Super Thank You for this! You really didn't have to do that- even your last comment being supportive was more than enough! Just know that it's very much appreciated and will definitely be rolled into another video!! Thank You Again- you are too kind!! 😀🙏🙏🙏
I love the internet but at the same time I hate the internet and I absolutely hate what it does to some people. I’m really sorry that you have had to go through all that, please don’t let it get to you too much (easier said than done of course) all the complainers/nasty ass accusers will have forgotten this in a week and moved on to torturing someone else. Not so easy for you of course. Just about to go watch the main vid, looking forward to seeing what you have done, I’m sure it’s awesome! It’s clear that you and the family have had a lot to deal with, hope that things are getting better. Big hugs to you all ❤
First of all my heart and prayers go to you and your family. I think what people fail to remember is that there are real people with real life going on behind the videos. Kindness goes so much further than insults. I pray that you and your family get through the storm you’re in with love and strength.
Thank you for this hard update, life is unpredictable and while this project is meant to ultimately help it's also free volunteer work and as a fellow multimedia artist i know how hard it is make time in a busy schedule after a challenging full time job for passion projects. Your addition was amazing and given everything y'all went through all the more remarkable. I wish y'all the best, I'm looking forward to your future content, and mostly I hope your lives settle back into a comfortable normalcy so you can feel excited to create again.
Thank you so much for the kind words and understanding! And yes hopefully we can get back to normalcy and I can get back to making some more content for ya! 😀🙏
Sending you both hugs. Trust me, I understand life happens and the struggle to create art. Take care and try to get some sleep. Stress and lack of sleep takes a toll on your body. I came in on your finished part of the collaboration. It came out awesome, and I loved learning about your techniques. You both seem like cool, interesting people. Take care
Thank you so very very much for the kind words, support and understanding- it means so much to us! And I'm so glad you liked my part of the collab process too!! Thank you again and take care!! 😀🙏
"When it rains, it pours" really applies here. I'm sorry to hear your bad luck didn't turn into good luck after the previous video. This year has been a doozy for my family as well. A lot has happened one after another that has also affected our ability to live normally, so trust me, I get it. and I hope your family does start to see more good luck soon.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support!! 😀🙏 I'm so sorry to hear that it's been hard on your family as well... but we all just keep our heads up and keep pushing through!
I just watched your video where you added your piece to the collab. It looked amazing! You really elevated the piece and took the time and care over it that is so rare to see these days. I don’t normally comment or post but I felt the need to in this case. You seem like wonderful people and there really is no need to be apologising. Art takes time! Things take time! That alone should be enough. So to prove that not everyone in the comments section is an ass I wanna say great work and good luck getting the house sorted!
Hey thank you so much for the kind words and support- and I'm really really glad you liked the end result!! It really does mean a lot to me so thank you again!!! 😀🙏
Hey, man. You don't need to be sorry. I feel sorry that you felt that you had to do this video. Like everyone said, life happens. I never doubted that you would get it done and it would be great! The people that made those comments are not worth your time or thoughts. Hope for the best for your challenges! House issues are stressful, I know all too well. You will get through it! ❤💪
Hey man I get it…. When it rains it POURS! (And I’m not necessarily talking weather!!!)… life is tough. You work hard, & have/ had a lot happening. Don’t take shit from faceless people- take care of the real, immediate people that matter- not least YOU. That matters. All the best to you all ❤️
Haha yes it definitely does pour in more ways than one! But thank you so much for the kind words and support- we really do appreciate it!! Take care! 😀🙏
Well done, Mr. & Mrs. Smitty & Kitty Tut!!! So much love to you guys, your family (all species) and your home. I share Mrs. Tut's concerns about your health, living at that pace, bro. I think Kitty Tut was saying thank you to the faithful, too. Highly recommend a Kitty Tut shorts channel, unedited. Blessed be, Tuts! ^5 💖
Haha a kitty tut channel of shorts- now that's a money maker right there!! But thank you so very much for the kind words, understanding and support- it really does mean a lot to us (even kitty tut haha)!! 😀🙏
I feel for you guys, I do hope everything settles down so that you can be in a good mindset. As an artist...when too much stuff happens, getting into a creative space is hard. Also your wifes tattoos are amazing :) Please take care of yourselves
People suck, life happens and some things are out of our control. Everyone will assume things and not take into consideration that maybe the person they haven’t heard from in a while might be going through some shit. I know how it is to have unimaginable things crash into our lives. I almost lost my wife one week after our second daughter was born (blood clots and a heart attack). I’m SUPER thankful I was able to get her to the hospital in time. After that we focused on her health and our family for a very long time and people were damn quick to jump to conclusions and start rumors and talk shit to come up with reasons we weren’t around much anymore. There’s a handful of other issues we have ran into over the years and people continue to make things harder. We have learned to just ignore the negative Nancy’s and keep the true friends and family close. You just do you man, screw the haters and internet trolls!
Oh man I'm so sorry you guys had to go through that, but I'm happy to hear that your wife pulled through! Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing something so personal, and extremely relatable- everyone can make assumptions but only you can know what you're going through. You, your wife and daughter all take care and thank you again!! 😀🙏
Hope y’all can get the house back together soon, fighting with insurance company’s sucks and is always such a long drawn out process sadly. But I’m glad y’all are getting through it and I’m Excited to see the video tomorrow!
Hey I just wanted to say thank you so much for the kind words and understanding- and for making such an awesome video!! The family and I can't wait to binge watch your content! Take care and thank you again!! 😀🙏
Cant belive how rude people are ... Arts is not something you can rush .... And guess what people... In real life, shit happens, things happens.... I feel for you Smitty... You didnt deserve the pressure and the hate... Im sorry it happens. Take good care of you...
Thank you so much for understanding, and for the kind words- you along with everyone else has been so so very supportive and we thank you so very much!! 😀🙏
I'm not understanding how there's an issue with your taking so much time to get this art collab done. As I said before, I'll say it again, your family comes first...period! I've not see your second video, yet, I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you so much for the kind words- and ongoing support! I took a few days to catch up on sleep and spend time with the family- but wanted to hop on and thank every one of you for showing such love and understanding! Thank you so very much!! 😀🙏
This makes me sad that people were being so shitty. It’s an art video. All those other things in your life are clearly more important. I’m glad it’s finally off your plate. I hope things get better for you and your family.
I appreciate the kind words and support, as crappy as they were they did have some justification with me being radio silent (although some took it quite a bit far). But again I thank you so much for the support and understanding!! 😀🙏
Ugh that sucks. My basement flooded, twice. We used the basement as our living space. We had to bring everything upstairs and fill the upstairs living room and spare rooms full of stuff. For months it was like that until we got the basement repaired and put back together only for it to flood again. We got a new roof and removed the chimney, so hopefully the issue is resolved. We now have to wait until next spring before we fix our floor because we don't want to pay for a floor again only to get another flood. And had my wife break her foot... so yeah, I completely feel you. Life happens.
OMG that's horrible- I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you both! And thank you so much for sharing- and the kind words and understanding, it means a lot to us! 😀🙏
Hey thank you so much for the kind words and support- and subscribing! Hopefully once everything gets situated I can get back to getting some more killer content out! Take care and thanks again!! 😀🙏
It breaks my heart that anyone has to make these kinds of "apology" videos. So many details that you shouldn't have to put out there because of asses on the internet. People really need to start looking at themselves and how they treat others. The bullies are winning :(
Yeah it definitely is hard, but I guess it comes with the territory putting myself out there... but hearing from people like you that are kind and understanding and supportive- its what keeps me going, so thank you very very much!! 😀🙏
You could never have predicted those unfortunate issues. You know I fully support y'all. And I know your work is top notch! You not only fixed the damage done, but added beauty to it on a level not many will comprehend. But I know you are hard working and dedicated. You're an amazing husband and father and artist. Keep smiling!! Y'all things will get better 💛💛💛
Was in the middle of renovating after just moving to Georgia in July. Storm went through and all the work I had got done has been undone. Any work on a house takes forever, and life gets in the way of EVERYTHING. The people making comments like that are just immature, and wanna stir you up because it's what they enjoy. Took a while, but hoping I have the free time tomorrow to watch the video in one sitting doubt it though. Tbh wouldn't be mad at all to see a awesome sword going through the whole thing.
I guess it comes with the territory haha 😅 But you have nothing to apologize for, even the fact that you commented shows how much more supportive and understanding and kind people there are out there- so thank you for taking the time to show us that kindness and support!! 😀🙏
I don't understand how poeple ca be so inpatient. Live happens and there is no timelimit on an artproject like this. Hope you okay now. The hater have just boring simple lives and nothing better to do. Take care, this live style will take it profits.
❣💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖❣ I'm so excited to see that you are back and ready to show the finished work! And you both look good. I was so worried about your emotional state, because my work life feels like yours must be almost every day and I was taking it hard for you. Can't wait till tomorrow! Wishing you the very best and a life of light now that the weight is no longer on your shoulders. ~L
Thank you so very very much for the kind words and understanding! I'm sorry to hear your work life is just as hectic, but stay strong and we'll all pull through together! Thank you again and take care!! 😀🙏
Like I said before, family first! And life likes to throw storms our way. This just happened to be a year of storm for you. I'm eager to see the video, but also I know you've been under enough stress as it is. Maybe take a small vacation? Away from the "hoarder house". Away from the YT comments. Away from the last year of health scares. Take a week with your kids to do something fun and less stressful. I'm glad you're doing okay. Praying for your family still.
Absolutely! I did take a couple days to catch up on sleep and time with the family, but wanted to hop on here and thank everyone! You all have shown so much love and support- it really really means a lot to us! Thank you so much!! 😀🙏
Well done sir . I was one of doubters ( dicks) that wasn’t nice SORRY DUDE. Frustrated miserable old man that I am sometimes I didn’t think of the person behind the Chanel and for that I’m genuinely sorry. Hope you get back on track and get everything you hope for in life 🙌🏽 good luck with the house .
Hey no hard feelings at all- in the video I had said I didn't want to address the haters, because in all honesty everyone is entitled to their opinions, and from what the public saw was just radio silence on my end so I can't discount how people feel or act. Which is why I felt the need to explain why the radio silence happened in the first place, and I think now that there's been a little back and forth we all can see from both sides of the fence. I took a couple days to catch up on rest and spend some time with the family but wanted to hop on and thank everyone for the kind words, support and understanding- and sir that includes you as well. It means a lot to us, especially me and I thank you for watching the video, hearing me out and most of all for apologizing. I appreciate you and your comment more than you can ever know! 🙏
@@SmittyTutDesigns you are truly amazing. You've got a new fan. Looking forward to see more of you. Will start binge watching your channel. And hopefully find some nice projects to try myself .
I think a lot of those people don't understand what it's like to have your home destroyed like that. I had a fire in 2022 and it took MONTHS and MONTHS to move back in, almost a year! And when something like that happens, it always snowballs and its just one thing after the other. Here's hoping it won't take much longer for you guys to get back to where you were before. So sorry you've had so much bad luck. Having said that, I'm real excited to watch the collab now that it's out! I'm sure it'll be great! :)
I know we already talked but John thank you so much for the kind words and support- and for sharing the troubles that you had to endure, sometimes people can't see life from someone else's prospective and make their own judgements. But man your videos playing in the background while I was working were so great to listen to! I hope more people can stop by your channel and show some love! Thanks again man and take care! 😀🙏
I'm just finding out about this through you. That's a boatload of valid reasons you couldn't get it done. My advice to you is take more responsibility and less offense to comments. Those comments are made without knowing your life circumstances so they're irrelevant.
Hope you guys are doing better now!! Can't wait for tomorrow! Today's last day of exams so I shall consider watching that as my reward for surviving it hahaha Also, ignore the haters. Like I said before, I personally would prefer a gorgeous masterpiece delivered by a happy artist who's proud of their work than a sloppy work by a stressed artist purely made to satisfy the deadline. Would I have preferred seeing the final product earlier after Shuzi? Obviously, this is a great collab! It's not just a mix of different artists but different art styles too in a way that still works. But I'm not going to be angry and demanding because you DID make a post explaining the situation and sometimes life just doesn't want to cooperate. Honestly, I am way more interested in how you incorporate your metalwork into this piece. This piece has paint, rug, mosaic, a sculpture, and now metalwork. So excited about that!!
I truly hope that this negative cycle of life is over and that you can enjoy what comes next. Good luck! You really got me with the clip breaking it and in a way I was happy about it because this pice seems to be cursed. However, I hope it raises a lot of money for the kids that died in the making of it. (Apologies in advance for the dark sarcasm, I was possesed by Ricky Gervais).
This is why I really think Ten needs to change how this collab project operates, and has all artists wait on showing their video until ALL artists have finished and Ten has the finished product in his hands. The vitriol thrown at you (which also happened to NerdForge though not the same intensity) is uncalled for and just isn’t fair to any of the artists.
Yeah quite a few people had brought that up, kind of how the Artists in Wonderland worked... everyone had a scheduled date to post their video. I actually do remember NerdForge and Marco took quite a beating as well for the time they took, but I guess I now hold the candle for taking the longest. But I do thank you for the support and understanding- it really means a lot that not everyone out there has the same thinking as some of those comments. Thank you again and take care!! 😀🙏
Wow, I'm sorry people were so rude to you over this. Like, people really think every artist is just sitting around waiting to get the next Ten Hun art collab and do their bit on it. The internet sucks.
Yeah it definitely hurt that's for sure, but the amount of people commenting and being so kind and understanding shows me not everyone shared the same thought process. But I do very much thank you for your support and understanding!! 😀🙏
Please, when your house is done and your wife has recovered from her surjery, please take a vacation. You deserve peace, quite, fun, and my damn, some sleep. Otherwise, you may actually end up working yourself into an early grave with how non stop you are. And, you deserve a break, you deserve a vacation to be with your wife and kids that is away from the daily grind of life.
Oh we so definitely will take a vacation as soon as everything starts getting back together haha! I did take a few days after posting to catch up on rest, and spend time with the family- but I wanted to hop on and thank everyone like you that had such supportive, understanding and kind things to say. But thank you so so very much for the support!! 😀🙏
I said before that people are entitled. 😂I myself was growing impatient. But yea those comments were out of pocket. I hope those people really check themselves. Stuff happens. But glad you’re good man.
People are so selfish these days. Good on you for taking the time that you guys needed, never feel guilty for that. Life tends to throw lemons in bunches. Sure, I want to see your part of the collab just like everyone else but I don't want to see it at the expense of your family or your mental health. If those haters stop following you, then those who are left are the supportive kind of community that enjoy what you do no matter if you do go silent. There have been a couple of other artist TH-camrs that have had their periods of silence to give themselves a break and, although from an algorithim and fan base point of view this can be a problem, I think it is necessary. You are only human and can only do, and take, so much so do what you need to do. Thank you for always being open and honest. Keep up the awesome work but do what you need to do look after yourself and your family!
Thank you so so very much for the kind words and understanding- life can definitely throw lemons in bunches that's for sure haha 😅 But again thank you so much for the support!! 😀🙏
Sorry about the haters and toxic vibes... but I'm still glad i followed this collab i like the cool swords your making thanks for making my fantasy come to life
And thank you so much for the kind words and support! And for digging the swords too! Hope to be making more here soon! Thank you again and take care! 😀🙏
Take your time dude, life happens, people who complain haven't experienced adulthood yet. F**k those people. Work, bills, family- all things that any adult can understand. Hobbies are what we love but time is valuable and sometimes difficult to grasp. Do what you need to do my guy, the true art fans can wait. 🤜🏼🤛🏻
Thank you so very much for your kind words and understanding, life is definitely hard to grasp that's for sure! But we appreciate your support so very very much!! 😀🙏
ooo yay excited to see what you have done, and shit that's a lot to go through one after the other, so much toxicity and hate online these days, I'm sorry you have had to deal with that too.
Thank you so much for being so understanding, I agree there's so much negativity floating around... but comments like yours are what makes everything worth it- and for that we really really do appreciate it!! 😀🙏
@@SmittyTutDesigns your work is amazing by the way, and I love what you did with the collab!! was well worth the wait , and fixing the issues with it , the pattern you did for the leather, omg i would have gone cross eyed
@@beanie237 Thank you again!! Yeah the fixes I was torn with... I was already behind and didn't want to put it back out damaged, but also didn't want to take longer. And the leather was for sure crazy, especially crosseyed when taking all the masking off hahaha!! 😅😅😅
I can't agree more, I took a few days after posting the videos to catch up on sleep and family time- but wanted to hop on and thank everyone like yourself for being so kind and understanding! Thank you so very much! 😀🙏
Mate, life happens and it likes to pile on when you dont need any of it. Yeah, we've been waiting but as you keep saying- it takes time. Art is not something that should be churned out, it should be enjoyed and savoured. Thank you for the updates.
You’ve definitely had a lot of life happen and it’s totally understandable that you’ve been radio silent. I’ve been there before where life won’t just quit giving you hell and there is nothing you can do about it. I hope it turns around soon!
the fact that someone said you were HARMING CHILDREN by not doing this piece....people really need to get a life. patience is a virtue no one knows how to practice. that and keeping their damn mouths shut. also edit: some other people had it for months as well. the reason this piece is taking a long time in general is because someone added the extra space and in the main one that dumbass girl took up half of the piece and it ended with only like 7 artists. CALM DOWN Y'ALL
Yeah some of those comments dug pretty deep- but the overwhelming support I'm seeing now, has let us see who actually does care about not just the art, but the artists as well! Thank you so much for the kind words and understanding!! 😀🙏
Haha thank you so very much! I had a bit of a feeling that the kind hearted, understanding people out there outweighed the others- and I very much do appreciate it!! 😀🙏
Shame for everyone that saw your last video explaining why the delay and still said all that bull#&¨$hit. Man. Family first and that´s it. Be proud of yourself!!
Thanks so much for the kind words and understanding! And yes so very proud of the final result... just not so much the time it took to get there tho haha 😅
Hold up. It took you a long time to create this. Yes, people can be cruel, especially when they hide behind a keyboard. You’ve had some issues that have further delayed the video. So I get that. But taking the first part of your video to express your feelings towards this wasn’t a smart move man. You’ve come across as arrogant, and dismissive of the more genuine people who have been following the collab. If it was a few weeks then fine, make a joke. A few months then brush it off and get started. But this was longer … a lot longer. Some people had genuine comments. And you did give updates in your community, and some videos, but remember that a lot of these people don’t follow you and don’t check the community. That’s not on them, that’s on you as the creator. I like your content and I think you seem like a genuine guy in your videos, but you could have played this better, rather than devote the first part of a video people have waited a very long time to view, like you’re making people feel bad for you and your situation (even if that wasn’t your intention, that’s the way it comes across). I hope you do still gain followers from this, but this video will stay with you now and it’s a shame.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone out there that commented and shared your love, support, understanding and even personal struggles with life! The overwhelming amount of love in the comments definitely reinforces that the youtube art community is a caring and strong community! I posted both videos and took the past few days to catch up on rest and spend time with the family, but tonight I went through and personally thanked each and every one of you loving people, and if I somehow missed anyone- Thank You So Very Very Much, from the bottom of our hearts thank you!! 😊 ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you again so much for the kind words, support and understanding! It really does mean a lot!! 😁🙏🙏
Please don't be sorry that life happened to you. Haters are going to hate, but those people are just miserable at the end of the day. You went above and beyond for an art collaboration when you didn't have to, and for that, we are all amazed at not only the level of work you put into it but the care you put into it.

Holy Crap! My first ever super thanks too!!! I'm sorry I took the last few days to catch up on sleep and spend time with the family- and just getting to everyone's comments now- but Super Thank You for this! You really didn't have to do that- even your last comment being supportive was more than enough! Just know that it's very much appreciated and will definitely be rolled into another video!! Thank You Again- you are too kind!! 😀🙏🙏🙏
I love the internet but at the same time I hate the internet and I absolutely hate what it does to some people. I’m really sorry that you have had to go through all that, please don’t let it get to you too much (easier said than done of course) all the complainers/nasty ass accusers will have forgotten this in a week and moved on to torturing someone else.

It’s clear that you and the family have had a lot to deal with, hope that things are getting better. Big hugs to you all ❤
Thank you so, so much for the kind words and support! It really does mean a lot hearing how understanding the community is!! 😀🙏
First of all my heart and prayers go to you and your family.
I think what people fail to remember is that there are real people with real life going on behind the videos. Kindness goes so much further than insults.
I pray that you and your family get through the storm you’re in with love and strength.
Thank you so very much for the kind words and support- it means so much to us!! 😀🙏

Sending you both hugs. Trust me, I understand life happens and the struggle to create art. Take care and try to get some sleep. Stress and lack of sleep takes a toll on your body. I came in on your finished part of the collaboration. It came out awesome, and I loved learning about your techniques. You both seem like cool, interesting people. Take care
Thank you so very very much for the kind words, support and understanding- it means so much to us! And I'm so glad you liked my part of the collab process too!! Thank you again and take care!! 😀🙏
"When it rains, it pours" really applies here. I'm sorry to hear your bad luck didn't turn into good luck after the previous video.
This year has been a doozy for my family as well. A lot has happened one after another that has also affected our ability to live normally, so trust me, I get it. and I hope your family does start to see more good luck soon.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support!! 😀🙏 I'm so sorry to hear that it's been hard on your family as well... but we all just keep our heads up and keep pushing through!
I just watched your video where you added your piece to the collab. It looked amazing! You really elevated the piece and took the time and care over it that is so rare to see these days. I don’t normally comment or post but I felt the need to in this case. You seem like wonderful people and there really is no need to be apologising. Art takes time! Things take time! That alone should be enough. So to prove that not everyone in the comments section is an ass I wanna say great work and good luck getting the house sorted!
Hey thank you so much for the kind words and support- and I'm really really glad you liked the end result!! It really does mean a lot to me so thank you again!!! 😀🙏
Hey, man. You don't need to be sorry. I feel sorry that you felt that you had to do this video. Like everyone said, life happens. I never doubted that you would get it done and it would be great! The people that made those comments are not worth your time or thoughts. Hope for the best for your challenges! House issues are stressful, I know all too well. You will get through it! ❤💪
Thank you so, so very much for the kind words, understanding and support- it really does mean a lot to us!! 😀🙏
Man, when it rains it pours. I hope it gets better for ya'll soon and you'll be able to put all this stuff behind you ❤
Thank you so very very much!! 😀🙏
Sorry this happened to you. Your piece of the collab is freaking gorgeous. Definitely worth the wait
Awe thank you so much for the kind words and understanding! And I'm glad you dug my part of the collab too!! 😀🙏
Hey man I get it…. When it rains it POURS! (And I’m not necessarily talking weather!!!)… life is tough. You work hard, & have/ had a lot happening. Don’t take shit from faceless people- take care of the real, immediate people that matter- not least YOU. That matters. All the best to you all ❤️
Haha yes it definitely does pour in more ways than one! But thank you so much for the kind words and support- we really do appreciate it!! Take care! 😀🙏
Well done, Mr. & Mrs. Smitty & Kitty Tut!!! So much love to you guys, your family (all species) and your home. I share Mrs. Tut's concerns about your health, living at that pace, bro. I think Kitty Tut was saying thank you to the faithful, too. Highly recommend a Kitty Tut shorts channel, unedited. Blessed be, Tuts! ^5 💖
Haha a kitty tut channel of shorts- now that's a money maker right there!! But thank you so very much for the kind words, understanding and support- it really does mean a lot to us (even kitty tut haha)!! 😀🙏
I feel for you guys, I do hope everything settles down so that you can be in a good mindset. As an artist...when too much stuff happens, getting into a creative space is hard.
Also your wifes tattoos are amazing :) Please take care of yourselves
Thank you so much- we really do appreciate the kind words and support! And my wife says a big Thank You for diggin her tats too!! 😀🙏
People suck, life happens and some things are out of our control. Everyone will assume things and not take into consideration that maybe the person they haven’t heard from in a while might be going through some shit. I know how it is to have unimaginable things crash into our lives. I almost lost my wife one week after our second daughter was born (blood clots and a heart attack). I’m SUPER thankful I was able to get her to the hospital in time. After that we focused on her health and our family for a very long time and people were damn quick to jump to conclusions and start rumors and talk shit to come up with reasons we weren’t around much anymore. There’s a handful of other issues we have ran into over the years and people continue to make things harder. We have learned to just ignore the negative Nancy’s and keep the true friends and family close. You just do you man, screw the haters and internet trolls!
Oh man I'm so sorry you guys had to go through that, but I'm happy to hear that your wife pulled through! Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing something so personal, and extremely relatable- everyone can make assumptions but only you can know what you're going through. You, your wife and daughter all take care and thank you again!! 😀🙏
Hope y’all can get the house back together soon, fighting with insurance company’s sucks and is always such a long drawn out process sadly. But I’m glad y’all are getting through it and I’m Excited to see the video tomorrow!
Hey I just wanted to say thank you so much for the kind words and understanding- and for making such an awesome video!! The family and I can't wait to binge watch your content! Take care and thank you again!! 😀🙏
Fricking awesome, both of you. Love your work. Love your vibe. Love your ink.
Awe thank you so much for the kind words and support!! And my wife says big thanks for diggin her ink too!! Thank you again and take care!! 😀🙏
Cant belive how rude people are ... Arts is not something you can rush .... And guess what people... In real life, shit happens, things happens.... I feel for you Smitty... You didnt deserve the pressure and the hate... Im sorry it happens. Take good care of you...
Thank you so much for understanding, and for the kind words- you along with everyone else has been so so very supportive and we thank you so very much!! 😀🙏
I'm not understanding how there's an issue with your taking so much time to get this art collab done. As I said before, I'll say it again, your family comes first...period! I've not see your second video, yet, I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you so much for the kind words- and ongoing support! I took a few days to catch up on sleep and spend time with the family- but wanted to hop on and thank every one of you for showing such love and understanding! Thank you so very much!! 😀🙏
This makes me sad that people were being so shitty. It’s an art video. All those other things in your life are clearly more important. I’m glad it’s finally off your plate. I hope things get better for you and your family.
I appreciate the kind words and support, as crappy as they were they did have some justification with me being radio silent (although some took it quite a bit far). But again I thank you so much for the support and understanding!! 😀🙏
Ugh that sucks. My basement flooded, twice. We used the basement as our living space. We had to bring everything upstairs and fill the upstairs living room and spare rooms full of stuff. For months it was like that until we got the basement repaired and put back together only for it to flood again. We got a new roof and removed the chimney, so hopefully the issue is resolved. We now have to wait until next spring before we fix our floor because we don't want to pay for a floor again only to get another flood. And had my wife break her foot... so yeah, I completely feel you. Life happens.
OMG that's horrible- I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you both! And thank you so much for sharing- and the kind words and understanding, it means a lot to us! 😀🙏
Hope things keep going up for you homie. Subscribing & looking forward to seeing your blessings manifest
Hey thank you so much for the kind words and support- and subscribing! Hopefully once everything gets situated I can get back to getting some more killer content out! Take care and thanks again!! 😀🙏
It breaks my heart that anyone has to make these kinds of "apology" videos. So many details that you shouldn't have to put out there because of asses on the internet. People really need to start looking at themselves and how they treat others. The bullies are winning :(
Yeah it definitely is hard, but I guess it comes with the territory putting myself out there... but hearing from people like you that are kind and understanding and supportive- its what keeps me going, so thank you very very much!! 😀🙏
You could never have predicted those unfortunate issues. You know I fully support y'all. And I know your work is top notch! You not only fixed the damage done, but added beauty to it on a level not many will comprehend. But I know you are hard working and dedicated. You're an amazing husband and father and artist. Keep smiling!! Y'all things will get better 💛💛💛
congrats being next artist for the collab .. can't wait to see what will you create !!
@@otaikagetsu9340you're so sweet thank you 🥰
Was in the middle of renovating after just moving to Georgia in July. Storm went through and all the work I had got done has been undone. Any work on a house takes forever, and life gets in the way of EVERYTHING. The people making comments like that are just immature, and wanna stir you up because it's what they enjoy. Took a while, but hoping I have the free time tomorrow to watch the video in one sitting doubt it though. Tbh wouldn't be mad at all to see a awesome sword going through the whole thing.
Oh no I'm so sorry that happened to you!! I do very much appreciate the kind words and understanding- thank you so much!! 😀🙏
I’m so sorry that people were so horrible to you.❤
I guess it comes with the territory haha 😅 But you have nothing to apologize for, even the fact that you commented shows how much more supportive and understanding and kind people there are out there- so thank you for taking the time to show us that kindness and support!! 😀🙏
I don't understand how poeple ca be so inpatient. Live happens and there is no timelimit on an artproject like this. Hope you okay now. The hater have just boring simple lives and nothing better to do. Take care, this live style will take it profits.
Thank you so much for the kind words and understanding- it means the world to us!! 😀🙏
❣💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖❣ I'm so excited to see that you are back and ready to show the finished work! And you both look good. I was so worried about your emotional state, because my work life feels like yours must be almost every day and I was taking it hard for you. Can't wait till tomorrow! Wishing you the very best and a life of light now that the weight is no longer on your shoulders. ~L
Thank you so very very much for the kind words and understanding! I'm sorry to hear your work life is just as hectic, but stay strong and we'll all pull through together! Thank you again and take care!! 😀🙏
Like I said before, family first! And life likes to throw storms our way. This just happened to be a year of storm for you. I'm eager to see the video, but also I know you've been under enough stress as it is. Maybe take a small vacation? Away from the "hoarder house". Away from the YT comments. Away from the last year of health scares. Take a week with your kids to do something fun and less stressful. I'm glad you're doing okay. Praying for your family still.
Absolutely! I did take a couple days to catch up on sleep and time with the family, but wanted to hop on here and thank everyone! You all have shown so much love and support- it really really means a lot to us! Thank you so much!! 😀🙏
Well done sir . I was one of doubters ( dicks) that wasn’t nice SORRY DUDE. Frustrated miserable old man that I am sometimes I didn’t think of the person behind the Chanel and for that I’m genuinely sorry. Hope you get back on track and get everything you hope for in life 🙌🏽 good luck with the house .
Thats really big of you to say!! Im sure this comment wont fall on deaf ears my dude!
So cool of you to respond like this.
Humbled 😊
Hey no hard feelings at all- in the video I had said I didn't want to address the haters, because in all honesty everyone is entitled to their opinions, and from what the public saw was just radio silence on my end so I can't discount how people feel or act. Which is why I felt the need to explain why the radio silence happened in the first place, and I think now that there's been a little back and forth we all can see from both sides of the fence. I took a couple days to catch up on rest and spend some time with the family but wanted to hop on and thank everyone for the kind words, support and understanding- and sir that includes you as well. It means a lot to us, especially me and I thank you for watching the video, hearing me out and most of all for apologizing. I appreciate you and your comment more than you can ever know! 🙏
@@SmittyTutDesigns you are truly amazing. You've got a new fan. Looking forward to see more of you. Will start binge watching your channel. And hopefully find some nice projects to try myself .
I think a lot of those people don't understand what it's like to have your home destroyed like that. I had a fire in 2022 and it took MONTHS and MONTHS to move back in, almost a year! And when something like that happens, it always snowballs and its just one thing after the other. Here's hoping it won't take much longer for you guys to get back to where you were before. So sorry you've had so much bad luck.
Having said that, I'm real excited to watch the collab now that it's out! I'm sure it'll be great! :)
I know we already talked but John thank you so much for the kind words and support- and for sharing the troubles that you had to endure, sometimes people can't see life from someone else's prospective and make their own judgements. But man your videos playing in the background while I was working were so great to listen to! I hope more people can stop by your channel and show some love! Thanks again man and take care! 😀🙏
I'm just finding out about this through you. That's a boatload of valid reasons you couldn't get it done. My advice to you is take more responsibility and less offense to comments. Those comments are made without knowing your life circumstances so they're irrelevant.
I absolutely agree- and thank you so much for the kind words and understanding! 😀🙏
Hope you guys are doing better now!! Can't wait for tomorrow! Today's last day of exams so I shall consider watching that as my reward for surviving it hahaha
Also, ignore the haters. Like I said before, I personally would prefer a gorgeous masterpiece delivered by a happy artist who's proud of their work than a sloppy work by a stressed artist purely made to satisfy the deadline.
Would I have preferred seeing the final product earlier after Shuzi? Obviously, this is a great collab! It's not just a mix of different artists but different art styles too in a way that still works. But I'm not going to be angry and demanding because you DID make a post explaining the situation and sometimes life just doesn't want to cooperate.
Honestly, I am way more interested in how you incorporate your metalwork into this piece. This piece has paint, rug, mosaic, a sculpture, and now metalwork. So excited about that!!
Thank you so much for the kind words- and I hope your exams went well!! 😀
I truly hope that this negative cycle of life is over and that you can enjoy what comes next. Good luck!
You really got me with the clip breaking it and in a way I was happy about it because this pice seems to be cursed. However, I hope it raises a lot of money for the kids that died in the making of it. (Apologies in advance for the dark sarcasm, I was possesed by Ricky Gervais).
Haha OMG I absolutely love Ricky's sense of humor!!! And thank you so much for the kind words and understanding- it means so very much to us!! 😀🙏
This is why I really think Ten needs to change how this collab project operates, and has all artists wait on showing their video until ALL artists have finished and Ten has the finished product in his hands. The vitriol thrown at you (which also happened to NerdForge though not the same intensity) is uncalled for and just isn’t fair to any of the artists.
Yeah quite a few people had brought that up, kind of how the Artists in Wonderland worked... everyone had a scheduled date to post their video. I actually do remember NerdForge and Marco took quite a beating as well for the time they took, but I guess I now hold the candle for taking the longest. But I do thank you for the support and understanding- it really means a lot that not everyone out there has the same thinking as some of those comments. Thank you again and take care!! 😀🙏
Wow, I'm sorry people were so rude to you over this. Like, people really think every artist is just sitting around waiting to get the next Ten Hun art collab and do their bit on it. The internet sucks.
Yeah it definitely hurt that's for sure, but the amount of people commenting and being so kind and understanding shows me not everyone shared the same thought process. But I do very much thank you for your support and understanding!! 😀🙏
Loved that !
Thank you so much! And can't wait for the family and I to binge your content!! 😀🙏
fuck the haters, life happens in life and at the end of the day, all that matters is family
Hells yeah- I really appreciate the support!! And so does the family! 😀🙏
Please, when your house is done and your wife has recovered from her surjery, please take a vacation. You deserve peace, quite, fun, and my damn, some sleep. Otherwise, you may actually end up working yourself into an early grave with how non stop you are. And, you deserve a break, you deserve a vacation to be with your wife and kids that is away from the daily grind of life.
Oh we so definitely will take a vacation as soon as everything starts getting back together haha! I did take a few days after posting to catch up on rest, and spend time with the family- but I wanted to hop on and thank everyone like you that had such supportive, understanding and kind things to say. But thank you so so very much for the support!! 😀🙏
🥳🥳🥳🥳
😀🙏
i had faith you would be able to get it done, im so sorry so much had happened that made it so you had to delay but your family is way more important.
Thank you so much for having faith, and such support and kind words- it means so very very much to us! 😀🙏
I admire you both for being truly authentic, it's very inspiring. Big love to your family and Fuck the haters
And thank you so, so very much for the kind words and understanding!! 😀🙏
I said before that people are entitled. 😂I myself was growing impatient. But yea those comments were out of pocket. I hope those people really check themselves. Stuff happens. But glad you’re good man.
Yeah out of pocket
Hey thank you so much for the kind words and understanding- we really really do appreciate it! 😀🙏
People are so selfish these days. Good on you for taking the time that you guys needed, never feel guilty for that. Life tends to throw lemons in bunches. Sure, I want to see your part of the collab just like everyone else but I don't want to see it at the expense of your family or your mental health. If those haters stop following you, then those who are left are the supportive kind of community that enjoy what you do no matter if you do go silent. There have been a couple of other artist TH-camrs that have had their periods of silence to give themselves a break and, although from an algorithim and fan base point of view this can be a problem, I think it is necessary. You are only human and can only do, and take, so much so do what you need to do. Thank you for always being open and honest. Keep up the awesome work but do what you need to do look after yourself and your family!
Thank you so so very much for the kind words and understanding- life can definitely throw lemons in bunches that's for sure haha 😅 But again thank you so much for the support!! 😀🙏
Sorry about the haters and toxic vibes... but I'm still glad i followed this collab i like the cool swords your making thanks for making my fantasy come to life
And thank you so much for the kind words and support! And for digging the swords too! Hope to be making more here soon! Thank you again and take care! 😀🙏
Take your time dude, life happens, people who complain haven't experienced adulthood yet. F**k those people. Work, bills, family- all things that any adult can understand. Hobbies are what we love but time is valuable and sometimes difficult to grasp. Do what you need to do my guy, the true art fans can wait. 🤜🏼🤛🏻
Thank you so very much for your kind words and understanding, life is definitely hard to grasp that's for sure! But we appreciate your support so very very much!! 😀🙏
I've had your back this whole time and I'm stoked things are going well for you again 😊 can't wait to watch these videos
Thank you so much for the kind words, understanding and ongoing support- it really does mean a lot!! 😀🙏
ooo yay excited to see what you have done, and shit that's a lot to go through one after the other, so much toxicity and hate online these days, I'm sorry you have had to deal with that too.
Thank you so much for being so understanding, I agree there's so much negativity floating around... but comments like yours are what makes everything worth it- and for that we really really do appreciate it!! 😀🙏
@@SmittyTutDesigns your work is amazing by the way, and I love what you did with the collab!! was well worth the wait , and fixing the issues with it , the pattern you did for the leather, omg i would have gone cross eyed
@@beanie237 Thank you again!! Yeah the fixes I was torn with... I was already behind and didn't want to put it back out damaged, but also didn't want to take longer. And the leather was for sure crazy, especially crosseyed when taking all the masking off hahaha!! 😅😅😅
Good to see you're out here doing your thing. Good update my dude.
Thank you so very very much for the kind words and support!! 😀🙏
Take time and spend time with your family. Art takes time, find a way to get back to being happy for you and your family.
I can't agree more, I took a few days after posting the videos to catch up on sleep and family time- but wanted to hop on and thank everyone like yourself for being so kind and understanding! Thank you so very much! 😀🙏
Awesome good job
Thank you so very much! 😀🙏
❤
😀🙏
Mate, life happens and it likes to pile on when you dont need any of it. Yeah, we've been waiting but as you keep saying- it takes time. Art is not something that should be churned out, it should be enjoyed and savoured. Thank you for the updates.
Absolutely! And thank you so very much for being so kind and understanding! 😀🙏
Hope your life gets better
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
You’ve definitely had a lot of life happen and it’s totally understandable that you’ve been radio silent. I’ve been there before where life won’t just quit giving you hell and there is nothing you can do about it. I hope it turns around soon!
Thank you so much for the kind words and understanding- it really does mean a lot to us!! 😀🙏
@@SmittyTutDesigns You’re quite welcome.
Dude i've been waiting for so long
Oh trust me I have too haha 😅
the fact that someone said you were HARMING CHILDREN by not doing this piece....people really need to get a life. patience is a virtue no one knows how to practice. that and keeping their damn mouths shut. also edit: some other people had it for months as well. the reason this piece is taking a long time in general is because someone added the extra space and in the main one that dumbass girl took up half of the piece and it ended with only like 7 artists. CALM DOWN Y'ALL
Yeah some of those comments dug pretty deep- but the overwhelming support I'm seeing now, has let us see who actually does care about not just the art, but the artists as well! Thank you so much for the kind words and understanding!! 😀🙏
My ADHD brain trying to watch the whole Video so the algorithm knows I like you and you know I’m not mad at you
Haha thank you so very much! I had a bit of a feeling that the kind hearted, understanding people out there outweighed the others- and I very much do appreciate it!! 😀🙏
Holy shit!!!!
?
Shame for everyone that saw your last video explaining why the delay and still said all that bull#&¨$hit. Man. Family first and that´s it. Be proud of yourself!!
Thanks so much for the kind words and understanding! And yes so very proud of the final result... just not so much the time it took to get there tho haha 😅
Hold up. It took you a long time to create this. Yes, people can be cruel, especially when they hide behind a keyboard. You’ve had some issues that have further delayed the video. So I get that.
But taking the first part of your video to express your feelings towards this wasn’t a smart move man. You’ve come across as arrogant, and dismissive of the more genuine people who have been following the collab. If it was a few weeks then fine, make a joke. A few months then brush it off and get started. But this was longer … a lot longer.
Some people had genuine comments. And you did give updates in your community, and some videos, but remember that a lot of these people don’t follow you and don’t check the community. That’s not on them, that’s on you as the creator.
I like your content and I think you seem like a genuine guy in your videos, but you could have played this better, rather than devote the first part of a video people have waited a very long time to view, like you’re making people feel bad for you and your situation (even if that wasn’t your intention, that’s the way it comes across).
I hope you do still gain followers from this, but this video will stay with you now and it’s a shame.
Omg what a whine fest
No one cares
You're not in the majority with this comment. He's just explaining why it took so long and addressing the assumptions
@@debbie1_b allot of people do care. Kindness is greater than hate, Debbie
