I think another major difference between the way alchemy was viewed as opposed to witchcraft was that alchemy was largely pursued by men while witchcraft was largely ascribed to women.
Id disagree cause alchemy as a practice is a few thousand years older than the concept of the soley female witch, one of the most famous alchemists was a woman, and there were probably a good bit more female alchemists, alchemists just liked to attribute their work to like 3 different guys instead of under their own name, not to mention alchemy is predominantly a scientific practice while witchcraft is much more spiritual.
@@ryangaskin4796 Alchemy was most popular and widely renown in the medieval and early modern periods, and anyway the view of it throughout human history factors into the general view of the practice tho, like throughout the medieval period alchemy had been a very prominent part of upper class society in both Muslim and Christian societies, and more importantly then that it was predominantly scientific, sometimes with a touch of theology that was generally in line with the churches doctrine, but did lead to a few being labeled as heretics. Opposed to this, witchcraft and the demonization of it began more as a response to fears of moral degradation in communities than an actual mystical practice. Most “witches” were just women accused by their neighbor of consorting with the devil. It’s demonization was primarily levied at women because of the patriarchal society viewing women as more “susceptible” to demonic influence, but the public views of Alchemy and Witchcraft were so much different because they were very different things, and not because alchemists were primarily male. I will admit though having a faction of witches demonized by society and a more alchemical themed wizard faction could be a fun concept for world building, might be stealing that.
Absolutely love this! Thank you for posting :) Fittingly, I'm just reading "Hollow" by Brian Catling, which is set in the world created by Heironymous Bosch, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, etc. Its an excellent Dark fantasy that I can highly recommend to everyone here!
I jumped on this video straight away because yesterday I was thinking about trying sculpting (again) to make some Goblins for Cauldron. Lots of inspiration 👍
Hey Terran, Just wanted to say that I found your channel recently and your work is incredible. I’m feeling extremely inspired to try my hand at crafting and making with green stuff more, and that’s because I’ve seen what incredible stuff you’re doing. Thanks for sharing this video! Loved the historical insight paired with the sculpting. Cheers
@@CraftandQuest Hey thanks so much for this comment and joining my Patreon. I am incredibly grateful to know that people find joy and inspiration in my work let alone want to support me. I will endeavour to make work that is meaningful and enjoyable.
2/3 of the way through them, and this is just such a cool concept for a collab!!! It would be really interesting if, at some point in the future, the three of ye all traded them around once again, so that the third artist would then contemplate the work of the other two! 🤔 Excellent job on both parts, I’m excited to start this third video!!!
AMAZING! I didn't even do one tenth of the history research you did, so the extra background is much apreciated. Also, I was wondering why you sculpted a boar head for this sculpt, since the painting is clearly a fox. Now I know! 😅
Thank you! The clay is a blend of two epoxy clays. One is called Green Stuff, the other is Milliput. Greenstuff is very tacky, sticky, and plastic like on its own. Milliput is soft, crumbly, and cures like stone. Mixing them in equal parts gives you an amazing clay thats great to work with!

We’re talking specifically about the beliefs of medieval Europe, not the whole of human history.

What about warlocks?
Marginalia is a brilliant idea for finding inspiration for creatures.
Endless possibilities!
Gives Bosch vibes. He’s one of my favorite artists ever. Love it
Bosch is absolutely on my list if I do this again, thanks!
Really awesome sculpture and collaboration!😊
Thank you!
@@ConjuredCraft you are welcome 🤗
This is such a good video. I love the sculpting, but also really enjoyed your research and interpretation of the painting!
Thanks Billiam!
Perfect 👌. I was looking for inspiration and you provided. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Happy to help!

Wow, I was blown away by the transition from the bulked-out head (with eyes) to the addition of the nose/snout! Incredible sculpting!
Thank you! I feel like I sped through the second head but the video was getting a little long 😅
I really liked the art theory. Good job as always Terran!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man, i enjoy your videos so much! Keep going with what you love!
Thank you!!

Oh hell yeah! Medieval goblins would look killer for Cauldron
Really inspired idea. I love medieval art. Heck yah

@@ConjuredCraft of course! You’ve shown a great aptitude at making things and your Patreon is full of cool stuff. It’s an easy decision on my part!
Great video! Looking forward to the next video “Saul and the Ewoks is Endor”
Yub nub!
Your sculpt is beautifully done! Your paint job is also wonderful. Great work by everyone!
Thanks so much J!
So nice I watched it twice! I really like the way you describe your thought-process and the art/history discussion.
Thanks! I tried to keep it light because I'm not a historian and wanted to focus on how the painting made me feel and what my takeaways are 😁
Your sculpting skills are insanely good as always, love it!
Cheers Lex!

Not a bad idea! It would be fun to see my mini in person now that it's painted 🤩

Oh! and the paintjob on Noé's sculpt is superb too!
And the secret has been revealed!
Good shit Terran! Great idea too :)
Thanks Luke!
Nice sculpture!
could you share more about the clay you use? inquiring minds want to know
great work btw

If it helps, my personal algorithms still haven't quite recovered from all the papers I wrote on cults in undergrad
This is beautiful! (to me :3)
I think it's pretty neat too!
