The "skull rivers" are cranial sutures. The bones arent fully fused as a newborn baby allowing some flexibility for the head to compress when exiting the mother. This is also the reason babies have a soft spot at the top of their head. As the baby grows, the cranial bones fuse together along those sutures to form 1 solid cranium to protect your noggin
I like the Voice overs as they allow you to talk about the journey for each piece of Art. But totally get that sometimes it gonna be easier to do a simpler video without commentary
@@MrE_ i wanted to see his process, so i watched the whole video. its not that bad to just relax sometimes and watch a video all the way through. letting your work speak for yourself should be enough. i know the process from woodworking youtubers.
Oh hey, this has probably already been commented, but here's a tip for silicone mold making! When you cut into the silicone to get the thing you're casting out, if you cut zig-zag patterns instead of just a straight line it helps the two halves go back together more easily! The zig zags help lock it in place and keep the two sides aligned more perfectly. Best of luck for the future!
As soon as I nticed that there wasn't a voiceover, my first thought was, "he must be tired..." I feel you. If you're a real fan, give him the mental space he needs to continue to do what he does best. Editing voiceovers are a pain and also fun but he's allowed to depart from the expected.
I appreciate both sides of this commentary. I prefer as well Blake’s humor and commentary, but love his videos either way. Whatever you need to do, ‘nanna dude, to keep your sanity. 😊
I prefer the voice overs. The voice overs provide what you are doing and why which is better for understanding and learning from what you are doing. As always, the quality of your work is amazing. You might have made a good dentist but the world would have lost an artist.
Those are the sutures of the skull that you were asking about! They are why babies heads are "soft" because they have not fully fused yet to allow for growth. Fantastic job carving!!! You are very talented 😀
My next-door neighbor works with epoxy. He made a vibrating table out of an old hand sander. He says it helps get all the bubbles out of his projects. Just thought it might help. Your Projects look amazing.
I think out of all your sculptures in my opinion, this one has a unique perspective and configuration to it. As always your work gets more and more integrated and detailed each project. Awesome work, and I loved the layback feel of this video today too. I do love the mix up tho the best. I think a combo of voice over and just old school is a perfect combo 👌
I definitely prefer when you narrate. Also I love the metallic flakes and when you shine a light through it. It looks like rays of sunlights beaming down on the ocean.
Amazing work. Your attention to detail is impressive. Your subject matter is one of my favorites. The silent video is refreshing. Thank you for not having the music obnoxious.
Mold maker here with a tip for molding and casting your sculptures: next time, you should create a matrix mold (sometimes referred to as a jacket mold or mother mold)! Essential, you would brush on a thin print coat of silicone as your first layer and let it cure, then mix up another batch of silicone with thickener (Thi-Vex from Smooth-On is what I’ve used) then brush that layer on to build up the thickness of the silicone. Brush on as many thick layers until you get about a 1/4” to maybe 1/2” all around the sculpture. Do one final layer of silicone to smooth out the crags and to glue on silicone “keys” that you can mold during the first step using little plastic cups and the leftover silicone. After that, you can use fiberglass or plaster bandages and build up a “jacket” around the mold to build up a structure to hold they silicone in place. There are a lot of videos showing how to do this in detail - I highly suggest videos from Brick In The Yard and Robert Tolone!
@@BMSculptures look up slimer ghostbuster silicone casting. smooth-on did a tutorial following this very setup. very cool. it was squishy, brush on silicone.
I enjoy seeing you work without any verbal distraction. I can simply focus on how you create and the attention to detail without the distraction of voice explanations. What you are doing is easily understood visually as you shape and mould your ideas. It is all the more calming and even meditative to simply see the creation of the art.
“Skull Rivers” are called sutures! As a next instalment in your human skull series, it would be very cool to see a wood carved brain in a clear epoxy skull! Also, I’m not sure if you did it intentionally, but I do like that you gave a nod to the “foremen magnum” of the skull with the placement of your logo!
This video truly inspired me so much to get back into my craft. I’m 29 now. About a decade since I’ve stopped doing art projects. Thank you, sir! Beautiful work 🌅
5:48 The marks are called the Coronal Suture, Sagittal Suture, and Lambdoid Suture. The Coronal goes across the top of the skull, The Sagittal is the line that intersects with the Coronal, And the Lambdoid is the upside down V shaped line close to the bottom.
In forensic anthropology, sagittal suture is a method used to date human remains. The suture begins to close at the age of twenty-nine. At thirty-five, the suture is completely closed
I don’t believe it. I put TH-cam on to look at wood carving a skull because I want to make a wood and resin sculpture of a drawing I did of a skull with a goldfish in it. I was blown away when the first thing at the top is your new video. I watched it and loved it (do like more talking) and came to the conclusion that I’m not geared up for it yet, but thanks to you buddy I didn’t dive in blind and waste a load of money and time. Absolutely love the work you do and just wish I could of got you to make it for me. Thanks for the inspiration and great entertainment.
haha that is awesome. Thank you so much! I think you should still give it a try. For more info on carving epoxy / wood checkout my other videos with voiceover!
I took anatomy classes in college and I used to draw a lot of skulls for years. You need to hold an anatomy correct skull to appreciate the pointy and sharp edges of the skull that are not present in your artwork! 3D hallowed objects are the most challenging to craft from 2D Pics. Keep up the good work!
im taking sculpture art at UNT college. i have access to 20,000$ cnc machines. waterjet, laser, cnc, welding, resin, 3d print. its cool, but you need cad knowledge to use them. staff cant solve your problems. but i like the school. i got to weld.
Yeah i was thinking the same, working with just 2d prints and not having a 3d reference is too difficult and limiting. It looks passable at best if we're talking accuracy and detail. Materials used make them look very pretty tho.
this skull doesn't look very real.. the zygomatic bones are too thick and pronounced, and it honestly doesn't look like a human skull. looks like the skull of somewhere half between a human skull and a skull of another primate. obviously small protrusions on the skull like the mastoid processes, styloid processes, etc, are all not present on this skull due to him creating this from a 2d image.
I like both with and without voice overs, this style of video was low enough stimulation that I was able to enjoy it and fall asleep, it was good for my cortisol :) definitely enjoyed
Sometimes it's just nice to see a piece unfolding with chill music in the background and no talking. You can get lost in the transformation, and trying to figure out what/why you do something can be fun, especially because it usually all makes sense as the piece comes together anyway.
Loving it! I would have preferred a voice over as I don't like sound, but still enjoyed the video (muted). I think the lines are called "suture lines," but I'd have to check. Thank you for posting.
You're exactly right, that's what they're called! They are leftover artifacts from infancy, since at the point of birth the human skull is actually too big to fit through the birth canal. So the skull plates are actually separate right after being born, and then as we grow and mature those individual plates grow together leaving only those suture lines as evidence of what happened
@@TheRealComboacer I learned some of this stuff when I did archaeology years ago, but it's been a long time and my brain is full! thanks for the comment!
@@TheRealComboacerand in addition to allowing the skull to be small enough for birth, it also enables the skull to expand with the rapidly growing brain. If they fuse to soon the brain can’t grow properly and the sutures will need to be opened up in surgery.
Honestly, i dont mind one of these every now and then. I love when you voice over stuff, your humor is nice, and your personality really shines through! But just listening to the art being crafted has its own feeling that i cant describe. I falla sleep to videos at night, and these sorts of videos fall in every now and then. I loved your old videos, and im so happy you do voiceovers now and give your works a bit of a voice we can hear ❤ amazing work as always, Blake!
No voice or with, as long as it's a BM Sculpture it's gonna be a good one. But I don't know if the people who are commenting represent real data, a non-voiceover can reach out to non-english speaking audiences you can have far reach.
in theory it shouldnt matter if there is a voice or not. you can just turn off the audio and get the same effect right? most people think "the title is in english, so the video should be too" but i guess thats a western take on that.
Everybody is complaining about no voiceover. Just to be sure he does add his voice to every video then why not to make this one a bit differently. We just love that guy.
no one was complaining. They were asked the question and they answered respectfully. There was no hate and no whinge. They simply replied to a question.
@@godwinseverytime3725 No, actually when I wrote this comment I hadn't reached in the video where asks for voiceover. So I had no idea whether the people are complaining or answering for a question.
Nooooo bring back the narration! Love when you explain what I'm looking at. Ps- please don't skip the the beginning when you pick the wood , cut it, and pour the epoxy
I wish I had disposable income. I would commission you to make several skulls (human, animal, and maybe mythical creature). That thing is so incredibly beautiful and detailed. It would be the centerpiece of my coffee table and I would invite people over with the sole purpose of talking about it. You did an amazing job. I love when people do wood and epoxy carvings and such, but this is the coolest thing I’ve seen out of all of them.
I prefer the voice over. Hearing how you overcome the challenges in the builds and I like the epoxy pour process. Like the blue man group situation you had with the skull.
I had to pause the video to read the comments. I prefer the voice overs. And hearing the dread in your voice when you poured the mold had way more impact than a comment would have 😊.
❤I’m gonna love this ! I’m big in to anatomy. 7:39 I like both ways but with out the voice over it feels more calm and for the voice over it does give more context on what you are doing with in the video
I've watched about six videos since this morning. I can't get enough of the amazing stuff you've created. My favorites are the Gator and Bison, probably because of the tire work. I'd really love to see a Tugboat made, probably using tires, epoxy, and wood. Either way, I wouldn't care because I know it would turn out amazing.
😂😂😂😂not laughing at your project by any means, but it actually looked like a murder scene when you said “what a disaster” I’m sure by the end you’ll have it fixed buddy. I love when we just go at it diy’rs
Personally I am happy either way, vo or no vo, your sculptures are always excellent as is the video production and edit. The only thing for me is if no voice over I would prefer to hear the sound or workmanship rather than lame music. Your music choice is subdued so as not to be too intrusive but I would prefer it wasn't there at all. This is not me being negative whatsoever, just an observation and my answer to a question
Full voice overs are what got me into your channel. I would watch the non voice overs here and there but once you went full voice overs I would be ecstatic for them. Great work like always!
I was thinking the same thing. We all have plastic in us now, it's undeniable. To think this is just one guy working with resins. It's no wonder the problem is everywhere. Oh well this world is almost done!
Have to be honest. I prefer the voice overs, it makes me feel more involved in your work. Also when you started on the mould as there was no explanation so didnt know why you were making a mould. 👍love your work from 🇬🇧
Your voice over is what made me start watching your funny and you tell all the hard parts mistakes fixed and the challenges overcame. I can't read very well but I love hands on projects. I enjoy the voice overs and the time you take to do them thankyou for doing this
I like the voiceover videos, too, but I really love these videos with no voiceovers! I really enjoy seeing a piece come together and if there's no voiceover, I can really zone out and focus on the little details! (btw the squiggly lines on the skull are called cranial sutures, babies are born with moveable plates so that giant head can fit through the birth canal and the sutures fuse and harden as you grow)
Voice is better because it gives us an idea of what you're going through and the experience of making the project. Awesome video and thanks for sharing.
I just found this video so I didn’t know you do voice overs. Apparently people really like your narration, but this video had such a meditative calming vibe that I really enjoyed 🙏🏼 loved watching your process!!
5:47 If I remember, right they're called sutures. They're joints in the skull that provide room for brain growth during infancy. They're otherwise immovable. They fuse at some point (like 12 to 16 months), which is why they appear like that
Good on the owners of the sculpture to have patience and allow you multiple times to fix the matter without demanding their money back. Most people would just ask for their money back if what they purchased was filled with termites causing the sculpture to break down and damage. I saw some say it was very disrespectful of them to just ship it back in a cardboard box. But at the same time if you spent 15 to 30 grand or whatever for this sculpture and it was filled with termites. *(Personally I would be afraid to have it in my home because I wouldn’t want the termites to damage my property to. But maybe these termites just go after a specific wood not sure)* and you had it fixed before but it still has the same issues, you would probably be frustrated and think it’s unsalvageable and just ship it back cheaply not wanting to waste any more money on it. So you got to understand their perspective too. So glad they were understanding and gave you a chance to correct the issue without having to either make them a new one or just scraping the entire thing and refunding them. It’s a really beautiful piece and glad it was able to be fixed. *( In the future is there a way to get the wood treated before sculpting it to make sure it doesn’t have termites? So this issue doesn’t arise again in future pieces? Or are you just having to gamble and hope nothing is wrong with the wood?)
This is the first of your videos that I have gotten in my suggestions, so I haven't seen a voice-over episode to compare this to. I found this a very pleasant watch. The music you selected was pleasant to listen to and a great choice to accompany what was happening on-screen. I think you should mix both voice-over and music track into your future video production.
I enjoy the music and subtitles. Very cool skull. I have been obsessed over the shape of my own skull lately. It is interesting to see all the details bumps and curves.
First I want to tell you that I really like your works and in particular the fact that you explain the process, secondly I think you should make a sculpture of piano keys I don't know exactly how but a combination of wood and the transparent material and maybe metal too
The fact nobody mentions your previous career is a testament to the quality of your work. Did you do this kind of art when you were young or did you discover your talent later in life?
I like the voiceovers but i kind of really love this. It keeps my focus on the process, the voiceovers are great too, maybe you can mix and match both and categorize this one as some kind of ASMR
Hey, as a tip for the silicone mold, next time you make one when cutting it in half, it might be helpful if you cut little zigzags or registration marks into the silicone itself, as it will help make everything aline better. Just a little suggestion as I’ve made a couple dice molds. Don’t know if it’ll translate over to a large mold though lol
What do you want to see me carve next???
Elephant
Or Crocodile
Homo Erectus
Giant hummingbird with flower. ❤
kayak

As the baby grows, the cranial bones fuse together along those sutures to form 1 solid cranium to protect your noggin
which is why you are instructed to rotate the baby as to let the skull fuse into a round cranium, instead of having a flat head
@@Feathered_Crowyep, you know it!
Some ancient cultures bound the babies' heads so the bones would fuse in a come shape.
Fascinating facts…
@@Stubborn_octopus yup and then those elongated skulls were mistaken for "aliens" by early archeologists and the History channel to this day
shoutout to whoever volunteered their skull for reference
It was me

Cranium canals isn't it? 😅😂😊😂😅
metopic sutures
Babies heads are soft and that is called a fontanelle. The sutures form when you are older.
I thought your teeth overlapped? But still, Amazing job!!
Sagittal sutures that are floating in the newborn and eventually fuse
My next-door neighbor works with epoxy. He made a vibrating table out of an old hand sander. He says it helps get all the bubbles out of his projects. Just thought it might help. Your Projects look amazing.

The no-voice-over gave it a way more "turn off brain and watch" feeling.
Very relaxing
Glad you enjoyed it! I tend to watch a lot of no voiceover videos (restorations ect...) for that same relaxation
2:25 I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GLOVE
He really should be wearing gloves with how much dust that stuck to his hands.
This is the kind of artwork I would buy if I had art money. Absolutely fabulous skillset you have there. Never stop!
You know what would have been cool.. If you turn the clear skulls into Alcohol bottles. Put whiskey on the gold one and Vodka on the clear one.
Full voice over. I enjoy hearing what's happening as it unfolds. Basically more info about the amazing creations works well.
😂😂😂😂not laughing at your project by any means, but it actually looked like a murder scene when you said “what a disaster” I’m sure by the end you’ll have it fixed buddy. I love when we just go at it diy’rs
0:45 Thanks because I hate the wastage of material.
Thanks Juan!
Wow! Now we know how the famous Crystal Skulls were made. I really like all, but the wood is still my favorite-lots of texture. 😊💖
Personally I am happy either way, vo or no vo, your sculptures are always excellent as is the video production and edit. The only thing for me is if no voice over I would prefer to hear the sound or workmanship rather than lame music. Your music choice is subdued so as not to be too intrusive but I would prefer it wasn't there at all. This is not me being negative whatsoever, just an observation and my answer to a question
3:44 "S...sempaï..."❤
Full voice overs are what got me into your channel. I would watch the non voice overs here and there but once you went full voice overs I would be ecstatic for them. Great work like always!
The amount of microplastics produced during such a video is TOO DAMN HIGH!
😑 go away.
The amount of likes on this comment is too damn high!
I was thinking the same thing. We all have plastic in us now, it's undeniable. To think this is just one guy working with resins. It's no wonder the problem is everywhere. Oh well this world is almost done!
Truth hurts don't it?@Roanoak
Have to be honest. I prefer the voice overs, it makes me feel more involved in your work. Also when you started on the mould as there was no explanation so didnt know why you were making a mould. 👍love your work from 🇬🇧
Your voice over is what made me start watching your funny and you tell all the hard parts mistakes fixed and the challenges overcame. I can't read very well but I love hands on projects. I enjoy the voice overs and the time you take to do them thankyou for doing this
I like the voiceover videos, too, but I really love these videos with no voiceovers! I really enjoy seeing a piece come together and if there's no voiceover, I can really zone out and focus on the little details! (btw the squiggly lines on the skull are called cranial sutures, babies are born with moveable plates so that giant head can fit through the birth canal and the sutures fuse and harden as you grow)
Voice is better because it gives us an idea of what you're going through and the experience of making the project. Awesome video and thanks for sharing.
My daughter prefers voice overs. Thanks for Great content!
I just found this video so I didn’t know you do voice overs. Apparently people really like your narration, but this video had such a meditative calming vibe that I really enjoyed 🙏🏼 loved watching your process!!
The inclusion of all the sutures and processes and foramen make it honestly breathtakingly impressive.
5:47 If I remember, right they're called sutures. They're joints in the skull that provide room for brain growth during infancy. They're otherwise immovable. They fuse at some point (like 12 to 16 months), which is why they appear like that
Good on the owners of the sculpture to have patience and allow you multiple times to fix the matter without demanding their money back. Most people would just ask for their money back if what they purchased was filled with termites causing the sculpture to break down and damage. I saw some say it was very disrespectful of them to just ship it back in a cardboard box. But at the same time if you spent 15 to 30 grand or whatever for this sculpture and it was filled with termites. *(Personally I would be afraid to have it in my home because I wouldn’t want the termites to damage my property to. But maybe these termites just go after a specific wood not sure)* and you had it fixed before but it still has the same issues, you would probably be frustrated and think it’s unsalvageable and just ship it back cheaply not wanting to waste any more money on it. So you got to understand their perspective too. So glad they were understanding and gave you a chance to correct the issue without having to either make them a new one or just scraping the entire thing and refunding them. It’s a really beautiful piece and glad it was able to be fixed. *( In the future is there a way to get the wood treated before sculpting it to make sure it doesn’t have termites? So this issue doesn’t arise again in future pieces? Or are you just having to gamble and hope nothing is wrong with the wood?)
This is the first of your videos that I have gotten in my suggestions, so I haven't seen a voice-over episode to compare this to. I found this a very pleasant watch. The music you selected was pleasant to listen to and a great choice to accompany what was happening on-screen. I think you should mix both voice-over and music track into your future video production.
no voice over, your craft speaks for itself. Thank you for sharing it.
I am totally impressed with your sculpting abilities. The scull was so close to real, it was scary… and yet beautiful
I enjoy the music and subtitles. Very cool skull. I have been obsessed over the shape of my own skull lately. It is interesting to see all the details bumps and curves.
Right when I’m like, “Oh man I would cast that in a silicone mold.” Blammo…exactly what you did. Gorgeous work
First I want to tell you that I really like your works and in particular the fact that you explain the process, secondly I think you should make a sculpture of piano keys I don't know exactly how but a combination of wood and the transparent material and maybe metal too
Honestly prefer these sorts of videos to ones with commentary. Means I can just focus on the video and not on a voice. Great video, love it.
Mad skills! I think the imperfections you mention actually add to the art. Shows they have been hand made.
I love this quiet and watch video. It is calming and fascinating!!
Soooo much hard work and talent went into these sculptures. My favorite is the original with the burlwood inside.
This is the first time I’m watching. I sat and watched with rapt attention. No voiceover needed.
The fact nobody mentions your previous career is a testament to the quality of your work. Did you do this kind of art when you were young or did you discover your talent later in life?
You know, I like to see how pease of material changing in to the art under the master's hand... IT LOOKS AWESOME!!!
Love the videos my son and I watch them together. We like the voiceover your explanations are great and we love your jokes! Keep up the good work!
I’m new to this channel but I do admire you putting the mistakes into the video. Art is a forever working process. Great job!!!!
This was absolutely awesome to watch. Such beautiful work.
The resin looked so beautiful as well before the carving. Great carving as well.
I like the voiceovers but i kind of really love this. It keeps my focus on the process, the voiceovers are great too, maybe you can mix and match both and categorize this one as some kind of ASMR
I usually only get to listen to videos. I am glad I looked at this one. 😊
This piece is so cool detailed and very sparkly I love sparkly wowwy 🤩 ✨
I don't care what modern technology can do better. This just looks like so much fun to do.
Absolutely STUNNING!!!! It is nice to just listen to the music and chill……and oh nooooooo…..it’s floating 😱
Bro, you could've stopped anytime after 4:00 and I would've still been HELLA impressed. This is AMAZING! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hey, as a tip for the silicone mold, next time you make one when cutting it in half, it might be helpful if you cut little zigzags or registration marks into the silicone itself, as it will help make everything aline better. Just a little suggestion as I’ve made a couple dice molds. Don’t know if it’ll translate over to a large mold though lol
New viewer here: no voice over made it perfect slow tv. I would watch that regularly to unwind and relax :)
