    I can't tell you how cool it is of you to put these lessons out for free. You're preserving the art-form, and creating new generations of monster makers. I say that makes you the best. Thank you.

      It's because it's very malleable and versatile probably.

      It's because you can take any anonymous mass and make it into anything you can imagine in real tactile 3D.

    Ed! I'm so happy I found you again. My family and I miss watching your show "Making Monsters". These other reality shows don't compare. I enjoyed the behind the scenes that you, your wife and Jordu provided. Your humor and expertise were incomparable. I love your visionary creativity! I'll keep watching as long as you're still alive and kickin.

    as a horror artist, of pretty much every medium, sculpting, digital art, painting, mixed media, do i have respect for you, sir! posting these easy to follow, very educational, free, completely accessible and honestly very aesthetically appealing content, is a very honourable thing to do, sharing your experience for free. and the cute little jokes and dad-like humour is a major plus.

  • @bigcrackrock
    @bigcrackrock 8 ปีที่แล้ว +128

    Word to the wise: If you don't have a boomstick and just plan to punch the ever loving piss out of the clay, you should keep in mind that there is hard wood under there with pointy corners and it will hurt when you hit it. Gentle pimp slaps until you build up some solid layers. On the other hand, I only got a purple knuckle, but if your bone pops out it could make a decent sculpting tool.

    Finally! A video that explains more about how to work with clay. Each medium has a property and I have wanted to learn clay sculpting for quite some time with HORRIBLE results. Thanks Ed. Miss your show. We switched cable companies and only one DVR so my wife has laid claim to all the programming rights.(She pays for it so she's allowed).

    Wow I'm so thankful that you popped up in my recommended videos. I've been trying to teach myself to sculpt my own prosthetics for about a month now but I've never actually worked with any kind of clay or sculpting tools before. Most of the stuff I've made so far has been so uneven and rough that I've ended up ripping everything off and starting over.
