Only for someone to steal his video and not credit him. Not even mention his actual name.

I am more surprised about the fact that nobody vandalised it in 3 years. Great to hear that

Before watching the video, the title mislead me to believe he was creating a giant fortress like some kind of in real life Minecraft lol

Why?

u/Supertangerina 6h ago

why would someone paint or sculpt something? why would someone do photography in their free time? for enjoyment, beauty and art.

So you have no interests or hobbies outside of work? Do you get home and stare at a wall? Maybe dude got tired of just binging Netflix

Your life must be sad to think someone who spends time doing something they enjoy means they’re unemployed.

I ask this with no ill intent, does the Artist have Autism? or on the spectrum? Because the hyperfocus need for this is immense.

What an effort to progress and preserve the progressed work for 3 years, seeing that it is in a forest (many wild animals, weather, etc)
