*Another way to see if your work is symmetrical is to put it infront of a mirror. Because your eye sees the design for presumably many hours, seeing it infront of a mirror highlights to your brain big difference and noticable assymetrical parts. Works for me
Yes, mirrors can give amazing new perspectives on virtually all art processes. Much like walking away for a bit and returning with fresh ears in music production. New ways of seeing the same art is always beneficial, IMO. But then again, maybe too much focus is given to symmetry! (like the face half mirrored compared to reality). A little subtle asymmetry is also pretty golden!
This was wonderful to watch. One of the best tutorials I've seen yet for sculpting. Extremely informative and entertaining. I enjoyed how it kept my attention so well. I would love it if you did more, especially the mold making and casting process.
LONG LONG time ago, i ordered WED Clay online and paid out the ASS for the Shipping just so i could try it out, cause i heard so many awesome things about it, got it in the mail and i HATED IT... i asked myself "how on earth can anyone make amazing masks outta this shit!? it dries out so fast, it cracks all to pieces, it cant hold Detail" so i threw it out in the yard in disgust.. well about 10 or 15 years later i saw this and i was like "ive grown a LOT as a Sculptor and an artist in General.. i was young when i tried it, im gonna try it again" so i bought some and it's FANTASTIC, one of the most enjoyable sculpting mediums ive ever used, and ive used them ALL *though i still love Monster Clay and Castilene more, especially for small figures/toys/Maquettes" but come to find out, the people who sold me the "Wed Clay" Back then... actually had SCAMMED ME. they sold me fucking POTTERY CLAY and called it WED Clay. so its no fucking wonder i hated it for sculpting! so my advice is two fold. if you think you hate something or cant use it well, try again later on in life, you might find out you LOVE IT later on.. or that you was simply lied too somehow. if i had not saw this video and try it out again, id have missed out on such a fun Medium.
Wow Jonathan. From an artist point of view, I REALLY enjoyed this video. From the content, the process to the editing. Wish you made more of these. You're one HELL of a sculptor!
that was awesome! been a fan of your work for a while now jonathan, i always see your work on ebay starting cheap, then selling for way more than i can afford lol maybe one day
I'm 13, since I have to make career choices now I decided a while ago on SFX and I'd love to do a project like this in summer. Any tips to get started ?
Best thing you can do if you're going for SPFX is to learn Z-Brush or one of those 3D sculpting programs. Clay sculpture is on its way out sadly.. though some people will always be there to buy masks sculpted traditionally. but not as many as we'd like sadly. if i could learn Z-Brush i would, but i think im too stupid to figure it out lol
diggin the video big time but why did you put that metallic-tube-sound everywhere? Creepy sound for glamourshot, sure, but not throughout the video, ears are bleeding. :D
I have so many questions!! I also grew up wanting to create monsters and horror films , I am now 35 with a career I don’t love but gives me money and I have now the time to pursue monster making and my dream to finally create my own horror film! Can you produce more mask making videos?!
I am 13 and I have been able to design decent monsters since I was six and I am trying to get someone to make a mask for that person to sell or something like that
Great vid and sculpt. Maybe you could help me with some advice, but I'm looking to turn my wife into Medusa for halloween, but I don't want all the snakes just hanging off her head. I want some coiled and posed, but how can I mount them so that'll work? I plan to do a forehead prosthetic that moves up into the first row of snakes, but what could I use to mount the snakes around the rest of her head?
I am finally going to start my first sculpt after watching your videos. Thanks man. I have always wanted to do this. Very helpful watching your process
Comments ........ every one want to see time laps now days .......oh well ...dude that's fucking awesome love the video keep it up .......maybe one day a can own one of ur masks.......one love
Amazing talent... Enjoyed that, I want to sculpt a michael myers mask 1978 to make myself a mask but I keep doubting myself as I've never done it before... How should I go about it? The same as that but copy from a picture of the mask? Thanks.
I enjoyed the footage and the information contained within the video but the sound effects and ambient music was very generic and unoriginal. Many of the audio files are common and come with video editing systems. My suggestion would be get a wider variety of royalty free sound effects, stingers, etc that will make your tutorials stand out and be more original. Great work on the sculpt. I am an editor if you would like some editing and sound design tips. Best,George
I've only done computer modelling with Mudbox, zbrush, Rhino 3D, and other modelling software, but have wanted to try actual, physical character modelling with clay. I know everyone has their own opinion on how to do things, but I honestly want to know your opinion if I should start with WED clay vs the other options. I know water based clay dries quickly. I think my early attempts at this will take weeks/months/hopefully not decades! trying to model life-sized humanoid shaped heads, with major "alien" type features. I will have to make a "basic" mold of my head (or a head) to build/sculpt up onto, I'm guessing. I'd love some input, if you have time.
This foam base is made by you? Have a kind of guide video you can share ? I can imagine clay, gyps negative but the foam kind I am not sure what I have to search for . Thanks
I love the eyes on this sculpt dude, i think you could sculpt a mean the dark knight returns batman with the wrinkles and the weathered, weary, pissed off look.

Lovely! Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant video. So great to watch someone who is excellent at their craft.
James Olney thank you
How many vertices does this 3D model have? Could it be ran in Unity game engine?
Which is the material that you use to make the mask, and other one? is so expensive? how can I found it in Colombia? thnks :)
you can nuke it in the microwave. Then you can have it under a lamp as you work.
Amazing work. Thank for taking the time to put this video together.
What the hell was that at the end when you said sculpt a fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!!!
I saw that you you offer your head armatures for $100? Are these reduced core? and how would I go about ordering one of these?
I am 13 and I have been able to design decent monsters since I was six and I am trying to get someone to make a mask for that person to sell or something like that

Hey Jon why arent you teaching at Stan Winston?
Any chance there is a video showing the finishing of this? Thanks for sharing it. I am trying to learn texturing and this was great!
What's the next step after this? I didn't see a video for it.

What a wonderful video in all ways, and what a talented artist!
Truly Inspiration. & I am on my way
Incredible work!
Just a really awesome video and demo. You and Graham did a great job. Very inspirational.

They can come to life at night !
Thank you for sharing your sculpting technique. This is a great sculpt and the video and explainations were just perfect.
how do you make the two part mold?
So glad I watched this. Really really helped me with my first attempt at something like this. Some great advice i would never have thought of.
Amazing talent... Enjoyed that, I want to sculpt a michael myers mask 1978 to make myself a mask but I keep doubting myself as I've never done it before... How should I go about it? The same as that but copy from a picture of the mask?
Thanks.
awesome! what i liked the most is that it shows the artistic process in general not just the sculpting aspect of it :)
Can you paint wed clay?

What kind of clay did you use ? Also, it's not good to let those creatures run around loose in your shop :]
Fantastic great job

Thanks
Cthulhu mask please!
Johnatan Fuller? Hmmmm I don't know from where but i've heard but I know this name from somewhere
Thanks for the video! Awesome skills! Out of curiosity... do you add anything to the "magic elixir" or is it just water?
What is the intro song? I've been looking everywhere! Amazing video too btw. So much inspiration crammed into under 30 minutes. You're the man.
Awesome awesome video!
The fly flick Haha
I wish you would do a demo video of you painting a mask and what materials you use. And have the same production value as this one.
Bravo for your tutorial.
You use any dough?
Where can I find it? I am from Belgium.
Thank you
Using plastalina clay for my first. How do you heat the clay so it's easier to work with?
I love the eyes on this sculpt dude, i think you could sculpt a mean the dark knight returns batman with the wrinkles and the weathered, weary, pissed off look.
really what a wonderful art. love ur work from India, Delhi
I also want to learn this art really amazing way to fulfil fantasy
