Have you ever thought of doing layered resin painting? I think you’d make something cool

bobby without a beard looks like the really cool uncle that bought his nephews stuff the parents wouldnt buy lmao

Beautiful rock :) Would put in my pocket. 10/10. Would often take rock out of pocket to show friends rock. Thank you :) But also happy to hear the anxiety/panic disorder has gotten a bit better. Struggled with that for a long time and it can just completely remove you from your own life if you don't deal with it. It's always nice to not feel so alone on something that makes you feel absolutely isolated.

That's some good lookin' sand!

I love how Bob always says "I don't know how I'm going to do what I want to " and ends up doing the most incredible things

I love the goofy side of these videos, but your openness and vulnerability is what truly connects to me. You being not only an advocate but someone who goes through the same things we do has gotten me through some of my (and I imagine others’) toughest times. I always support your content and am happy you’re back!

Bleeping out 'polish it' is the kind of chaotic details i love. From the very first mispronounced word to the incredible end reveal I got all the dopamines. Subscribed and off to binge your videos. All of them.

I’ve been watching your videos for about 5 years now. My fiancé and I get really excited whenever we see that you’ve put a new video out. Just wanted to say that you put out wonderfully balanced content that is the right amount of silliness, artistry, and wholesomeness. I watched my father die in 2017 and haven’t been dealing with it very well. But as odd as it may seem.. you inspired me to do something about it. I reached out to Better Help and have been getting therapy that has made a tremendous difference in my life. Thank you Bobby for all that you do.

Thank you for sharing your struggles with us. I suffer with depression and anxiety too and it's so refreshing when people talk openly about it. No one should feel embarrassed or ashamed for having struggles. You're the best! Love your art and creativity.

You can use the trick of using cured resin sticks as the supports for things you want to appear suspended in the resin. Just make use the same resin as the one you plan to use for the fill so that they have the same refractive index, and blend in with the fill.

Awesome work Bobby 😍

Let me thank you once again not only for bringing beauty to this world, but for bringing up subjects that most people seem to be unaware of or just pretend they don't exist. A huge and immense THANK YOU. ❤

My eyeballs have been blessed once again by the Duke of Arts! Eighteen entire minutes, plus a BONUS thirteen seconds of humor, deep thoughts, and (f)art! Thank you for sharing your journey with us Bobby, and for being such a zany, creative inspiration to so many people.

Thank you for being an incredible advocate. I hope your journey continues to go well, sir.

Bobby, Better Help sells clients mental health information. Please reconsider partnering with them.

12:36 u know what, I was so not ready for that yaaaaaa 💀😂

Man. The whole thing looks so amazing that the "visible" clear rods don't even matter. So, so cool and it is so apparent that you put an incredible amount of work into these projects. I enjoy these videos so much, thanks for doing what you do.

I dont know why, but I adore the moments like 3:30 where you see his goofy walking from a regular perspective. Im sorry youve been having a hard time, we're glad your back, at whatever capacity you feel is best

The editing is getting so amazing along with all of the art. The piece is absolutely incredible but the turtle ending was so perfect. There aren't enough like buttons.

Howdy Bobby! I have followed and loved your humor and art for years now and can FULLY relate to anxiety and panic disorder. Every time you post a video after a much deserved and needed hiatus I breath a sigh of relief that you are ok and watch immediately. Your quality over quantity speaks for itself by the way. Those feelings are something we struggle with in this season of life but it’s not here to stay. Mental health is finally getting the attention it needs and we are here in it together brother.

I had a salt water tank and I rescued a clown and a blue tang from someone who was taking their tank down and let me tell you their attitudes were just like characters from the movie. I could watch them all day. So glad you finally reached out to someone. My dad had mental health issues and it was very challenging I have to say. Love you, love your art! you're such a talent and I can't wait for your next piece!

Hearing Bobby talking honestly about his mental health is amazing. For someone to be vulnerable in front of an audience is brave and I am so glad that he is taking charge of his mental health. Much love Bobby❤

Bobby, I’ve always appreciated your realism when it comes to personal stuff, the philosophy of how anything can be art and of course the art itself.

I've been subscribed to you for five years, I'm so happy to see the progress you've made in helping yourself with your mental issues. I love your art and everything about you. You're an amazing person and I'm so happy to have been here to see your channel grow and watch you get more confident in what you were making. Keep up the good work Bobby.

This is the Bobby that all of us Day ones fell in love with. Just messing with rocks and semi regular uploads. I'm so happy to see it.

Three and a half minutes.... that's it...I tried so hard not to laugh, but it's....impossible. Love you Bobby Duke!!!

I'm glad you're uploading videos this often, I'm always waiting for your every upload, keeps me laughing and learning at the same time.

I was literally having an anxiety attack, came to youtube hoping to distract myself and calm down, and saw you posted a video. Watching it legit helped me calm down and actually laugh. Thank you Bobby, your art and videos absolutely make a difference in the world

It is SO fantastic to hear that you are getting needed help with a therapist. As someone that has been dealing with the same issues plus clinical depression and suicidal ideation since my teens that led to multiple failed attempts(failed thru sheer luck) and as someone that has been subscribed to you for years, I always got worried when there was a long pause in uploads by you. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better and getting help. Seeking and accepting help when we need it can be the hardest thing anyone does, that takes such courage and strength. Kudos to you.

Ive also struggled with depression/panic/anxiety for decades and im right there with ya. Took me until 2 years ago to finally seek help and figure it out. Definitely a process and im still working on it but im miles better than i was. Stay strong Bobby! Were all in this journey together!

Deep thoughts with Dukky are some of the best parts of this channel. You don't usually get relatable and personal insight into artist/sculpters minds. Or maybe i'm wrong and i just don't watch enough art stuff.

15:38 I've been a video editor for 20 years and this sincerely is the best transition I have ever seen! So smooth! I almost couldn't tell there was a transition there! 😆 (The cough and the dog look are just the cherry on top :D ). And seriously, I've discovered your channel a few months ago and have been watching all the videos you have posted since the beginning of your channel, I have rarely seen such a weird and hilarious sense of humor like yours! :D Keep creating awesome stuffs and filming yourself doing stupid things, It's such a fresh bowl of air in those times. Thank you sincerely for all your content and creativity (may it be your art or your humor) ; )

i’m always so happy to watch this man’s creative process watch him make his art and express himself

Very nice! I’m glad you feel better! The world is better with Bobby

Looking good, Dukey! Loved this video and I'm so glad you made this! It makes me so happy to see you having so much fun with whatever you're doing and it inspires me to have fun even when I may not be exactly where I wanted to be.

Missing your videos, I hope you and your family are doing well ❤

Golly gee gosh I sure do absolutely love when Bobby makes anything. Always a beautiful end product

Love you, love your art, love your honesty, love your ability to help others. Bobby, don’t feel anxious about anything, you are an inspiration to far more people than you will ever know. I speak from experience.

We're so lucky to have Bobby and his great channel which is full of creativity and I'm so happy for him after all hardship he went through... he became this person. Keep it up Bobby 💯🤙

Both the video and the project, yet again, were true artistry! 😍😍😍 I saw Evan & Katelyn get around the acrylic rod issue by making a bunch of their own rods with the same acrylic they then poured with. 👍

Hearing that you feel much better now was a massive relief. Thank you for taking care of yourself, and encouraging others that they can feel better too if they just reach out for some help. Now, onto the beautiful little rock boat with a watery world inside!

Bobby, I have to take a minute to tell you how incredibly amazing you are. My daughters and I have watched you for years and absolutely love you. You are such an awesome person. I can't tell you how many times you've inspired me, and my family. We have laughed with you, cried with you, and absolutely adored you. I struggle with anxiety and depression , and so do my kids. Thank you for sharing your talents, and your experiences. You are amazing! Again..thank you for all you do.

It looks amazing! I'd never be able to sculpt that tiny.

So glad to see you back doing art. Try making UV resin posts for the fish and they shouldn't show 😊

So glad you're making videos again! I love your silly humor ❤

This is GORGEOUS & such a genius idea!

Thank you for being you, Dukey. You bring joy to this world.

If you want to avoid the visibility of the rods, what you can do is look up the index of refraction for the material and then try and find either an appoxee that matches the index of refraction or material that matches the epoxies index of refraction. Or you can just make the rods out of the epoxy. Anyway, it looks super cool and like a fun project.

I adore what you do Bobby and I 1000% support getting the help needed to leave such horrible heads spaces, but please consider the risk you're putting your followers in by promoting the scam business that is Better Help. They have a horrifying track record with countless patients and terrifying experiences that could have been easily avoided, but the company doesn't seem to be doing anything to fix things. Please please please don't promote their name :(

I love watching these bobby! Already waiting for the next project

Thank you so very much!!! For just being you! My 21 yo and I were watching this and we were cracking up over the walking, especially, and at the mention of mental health, you will have two more fans watching. ❤😁

I haven’t watched this channel in a while and I come back and he has long hair- I’m really glad this channel is still relatively the same from when it started. Everything’s been so fast and changing but this little safe haven of rocks and wewd and memes make me happy ✨✨

Don’t know if you are aware but better help has gotten HUGE criticism from multiple people (psychologists on KZfaq and old sponsorship people). You are absolutely free to endorse anyone/anything, I just wanted to mention it.

Love your openness about mental health. Seeing others be so open about their struggles, getting help and achieving things absolutely has helped me keep fighting my little demons. Also, can't believe I haven't watched your videos for 4/5 years. I missed your quirks!

One of your earlier videos inspired me to do therapy and it helped me a lot. Thanks for being genuine.

That lensing effect is WILD! The reason you can see the acrylic rods is twofold: first, the refractive index of the acrylic is just slightly off from that of the resin, and second, that resin pour was AMAZING! It was so clear that I would believe it was glass. Ditto with your top notch polishing, just gorgeous.

You can just pour some sand into the rock and add a little resin to that. You can move the sand around to where you want, then all you need to do is let it cure. That will allow you to forego the "gluing", "smooshing", and "baking". It's an effective technique I learned from watching diorama artists =)

Hey Bobby I had / have the same problem plus PTSD from severe trauma and you are right about the therapy, good job getting the word out 👍🙂

I am so extremely proud of you for getting the help that you desperately needed!!! i always worried so much about you when you would have episodes and be gone for months at a time. i'm really really proud of you Bobby cuz it is not easy to admit things are unhealthy or wrong and talk about things and try to fix our manage things to get better and healthier. Way to go dear!!!!! Also great video feel like I'm being spoiled with multiple vids in weeks from you!!!

HAPPY to see you again Bobby I'm glad that your still making such incredibly beautiful art.❤❤

I doubt he’d be advertising Better Help if he actually knew what the company was like. A LOT of horror stores from there and plenty of videos talking about how terrible the company is

thank you for talking so candidly about mental health and how it effects you. i was thinking "man this guy is living the neurodivergent/adhd dream, completely and unapologetically himself" and then you talked about your struggles with anxiety, and im currently in that struggle. im trying to get help, but wanting help and actually getting help has turned out to be quite the struggle for me. its one thing for people to say "it gets better" or "ive been there and it gets better" and another to see someone who feels so. human? personal? like me? actually talk about their struggles, how it affected them, and then how it really does get better. to see that better, but not perfect. to understand what comes next, what is possible, what you can do. thank you for that

Bobby being at his Primetime!👍

I love the tiny details. They really make it so lifelike. Also are y'all ready for whatever halloween shenanigans Bobby has planned??

Beautiful results.

Amazing...& top-notch goofiness. Perfection.

Bobby I love you man. Been watching you a long time and one of the things I’ve always loved about you is your openness about your mental struggles. As someone who’s been through their own it’s extremely relatable. Glad you’re doing better. With all that being said this turned out MAGNIFICENT

Dude you're such an inspiration to me, I love your content and art, I also struggle with mental health and knowing I'm not alone is nice. Love your videos hope you're doing well. 👍

That is incredibly beautiful!

so effing cool man! Start to finish, amazing. That coral and fish sculpt at such a smol scale is insane. I wownt theyat

The way you described what you've gone thru reminded me so much of my own struggles with mental health. I'm 32 now, but around 20/21, I had been having a feeling of a weight on my chest for a few months and it blew up into what they called a PAT attack. For a while I'd have them out of the blue, no rhyme or reason, felt like my heart was about to explode. They then diagnosed me with severe panic disorder, general anxiety, along with my already diagnosed depression, and a few more good things. Weirdly enough, it didn't last too long, and I went years without having it happen. Then around 30, it hit but much harder. At that point, I couldn't help but ALWAYS think heart attack, I could audibly tell myself it was an attack while being in the fetal position on the floor, but saying something out loud still can't make your brain understand that. For a few months, I was at the ER weekly, 110 percent sure it was the end for me each time. It happened so much that it changed my thinking and how my brain handles it. Every time now, grounding myself or anything like that does nothing for me, it's always I'm having a heart attack, this is the end, it's over for me, everyone telling me it's just another attack is wrong and it's actually a heart attack this time etc. It's debilitating, and extremely frustrating when you try and try to get it thru to your own mind to realize what's going on but nothing helps. I've been going to therapy for a few years and things aren't at the worst end anymore but still not a stable place. It's caused my life to change drastically, for the worst. I stopped being social, stopped going out with friends, lost my job, and for 2 years after some trauma I went thru, I didn't leave the house, for literally 2 years, no over exaggerating, so I gained weight, which caused health issues, which in turn caused more mental issues as well. (I have bad Gerd, and any weird or hurting feelings in my chest cause me to panic, and vice versa any panic causes more gerd/heartburn feelings, it's a cycle). All that said, I can completely relate in some ways and understand what being in that mind set can do to you, not just mentally but physically as well. I'm so glad you've come out the other side and are improving each day. You definitely seem a lot brighter in your recent uploads, and I'm sure all your followers are nothing but happy to see you doing better. Keep fighting that fight, and playing with your wewd. 😊

Thank you for speaking openly about your experiences ❤ I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life and it was only this year, at age 41, that I finally got diagnosed with autism and started getting the right help and support. It’s such a game changer, I just wish I’d don’t something about it sooner!

I get so excited when I see a new Bobby Duke video. I never know when there’s gonna be another one and it’s so exciting because they’re always so wonderful to watch. Amazing talent!

The deep thoughts with Dukie was actually really inspiring and I thank you I used to be in a rough place too and I wish I had known what to do way before than when I did get sorted

That looks absolutely amazing! ❤

Damn 19s? Cool, love it as always Bobby! Keep up th gewd werk!

Okay, love the video as usual, but one thing specifically that I wanna point out is Bobby's taste in backing music. I've found so many good songs through this vids, it's amazing.

Brotha you are a real G. I’m proud of you and I’m inspired by the raw openness of telling us about your struggles. I don’t know the details for you but I’ve been close to ending it a few times so I can relate in some way to impending doom. You are hilarious and so gifted. I love your projects. Keep up the good work Bobby!

I started watching your channel a few years ago and shared it with my mom. We love your art and dorky sense of humor. We always look forward to seeing your videos. Thanks for the laughs.

Thank you for being so open about your struggles Bobby. I struggle with depression anxiety and a multitude of other issues and your videos help me feel so much better. I remember you being my comfort channel during a very dark time during my life. It makes me happy when i know there will be a deep thoughts with dukey section in your videos

I love this project so much! It's amazing how much detail you got on those little fishies!

your videos always bring so much joy

I haven't watched this guy in years. Just appeared on my page again, but I couldn't be happier. Luv this guy

Always been amazed by your talent to recreate shapes, but at this small size. Very impressed with all the little details.

bobby duke arts is a constant source of joy and entertainment, and you really inspire me to have more fun and be more goofy while working on projects, because it’s all about having fun. thank you for everything bobby

Bobby Duke, you are an awesome human being, and I’m glad that you’re doing better. It took me for…ever to get my issues under control.

Thank you for your honesty about your mental healt and make me laugh so lowdly.

I can’t express enough how much I enjoy each and every one of these videos. Thank you for keeping this channel going!

Thanks for always doing interesting things Bobby! It's incredibly refreshing to see super unique content all the time. Keep it up broski!

Hey, Thank you ! One for sharing and two, FOR SHARING!❤

Thank you Bobby for speaking on mental health! You’re my hero!

This turned out just beautiful! It makes me happy to know that you have found some help to make it through the harder part of life. Making that comeback is not an easy endeavor. We all love you and your videos. Happy days friend!

This is absolutely beautiful. I love this concept. Once again you made an incredible video!

Love your teaching method!!!! My Science teacher was like you!

I love your energy. Keep working on yourself and your projects. You are a true artist.

This concept in art (worlds inside regular objects) is something I've always been fascinated by! This is so cool!!!

It's always a good day when we see a Bobby Duke posting!

The king of silliness, and a master of art and creativity ❤️

THAT LOOKS SO COOL!!! And I'm honestly really happy to see you experimenting with unusual materials and ideas, it's always an adventure.

You really inspired me in my pottery classes. After I moved across the continent I can't throw anymore (my new school is weird) so I had to start hand sculpting and I've started making fun creative things. Once when I was making cupped hands I thought repeatedly, "what would Bobby do?" and tried to figure out how to rough it out based on how you sculpt. (Didn't quite come out like I wanted it but I'm still fond of it.)
