She's absolutely stunning! I love everything about this piece, the overall body sculpt, the details with the sea foam, barnacles, the coral, the fact that you didn't cheat with the suckers on the tentacles; I love her face and her "hair". Everything about this sculpt makes sense within the world I can envision her existing. I love also that you didn't turn the claw around the other way and make the dactyl portion of it into a more traditional "thumb". The attention to detail and accuracy with the real world elements of this piece are simply great. I don't even know where to begin to start with the paint job so I'll simply say well done! Thank you for posting this amazing piece and allowing me to see the creation process. Simply blown away!
I still come back to this video every once and a while because I enjoy the process and seeing how incredibly detailed and beautiful she turned out. Great job!!
I am going to sound like a broken record! BUT this turned out amazing, I know I say that in all your recent videos, but I really think you are soooo creative and talented. And I am always looking forward to your videos
I took your advice and made 2 figurines for my anniversary, simple yet cute, first time doing something completely from my mind, and was so proud of myself.
She is very kewl! I love seeing the whole process- the tentacles, the facial features, the "hair", the color scheme...also the armature was very interesting. She's awesome!
The barnacles and coral reef textures giver her a unique and original look. Perfect accents. Hope to see a lot more from you, you really have great attention to detail and sense of color. Most people would have made a total mess of this.
Shes absolutely Amazing! I love Her! Not only are the body and tentacles Flawless, but the way you did her face and hair were TOTALLY unique! Just GORGEOUS!♡♡♡
I'm so happy you've been uploading so frequently recently! It's always awesome seeing your process, not to mention the finished piece! It's amazing watching the whole thing come together, great work as always!
I really love how your videos are time lapse tutorials. Your channel really inspires me to continue making more amateurs as i have a taken a break thank you 😊 ♥️
She is beautiful! You do really beautiful work! When I found you channel recently I assumed you worked in the movie industry because your sculpts were so detailed and interesting. I read your interview and was amazed you were self taught. You do have a gift...and I love your attitude of challenging yourself and working outside the box. Thank you for sharing your gift! 😊😊😊
Like always this is truly amazing. This is not to be considered a tutorial, craftmanship like this is a gift, that is not something learned over night. It is a timestopping joy watching these figurines grow from nothing but clay. Keep up the good work!
The amount of detail you did is so satisfying to the eye. Really makes her stand out as her own character. You could defiantly imagine the world she lives in.
Yeah man, that coral/seafoam/barnacle ensemble really made the piece come alive. It went from like a simple figurine to a creature with a story. So awesome!
you did an awesome job...you have the patience of Job... it was all worth tin the end. I love watching you you have a great way about explaining what you are doing and why. I am 74 years old, legally blind and am on diayalisis, but I did follow your teachings and I made the scarify mouth. It resembled yours but I was quite pro9ud of myself when it was done. So thank you for sharing your time and talent with everyone....
OMG! I love her!! She's gorgeous in color and form. I can't stop squealing and wishing I had one of my own!! And I love how someone as seemingly experienced as you are able to find things that are considered out of your comfort zone.
WOW! I love everything about this! The claw is BOSS! It had to be there, and then when you started to add the sea growth to her, like an old humpback whale, I was blown away. I love your creative process. I feel most comfortable creating on the fly, and it is nice to see another person do the same. I have never sculpted, but I plan to start after watching you. I have a couple of requests/ideas (if it strikes your fancy) for a project... I spent most of my young life in the redwood forests of California. I would love to see you make a redwood creature of some sort. Like an Ent. When you added the barnacles and coral to your Sea Witch, it reminded me of the mushrooms you see growing on the base of trees. Also, maybe one video you could explain some of your painting Technics? Like what paint brush for what, how to manipulate it, color mixing, etc... Anyway, I LOVE your content. Easy going, comfortable pace, professional creativity on a level that feels obtainable for beginners with some practice. Keep up the great work my man!
I think she's gorgeous! Believe it or not she's the perfect color. We lived in the Caribbean and we found a baby octopus with those same colors! Extremely beautiful work.
Wow she is incredible! I want to write and illustrate a whole story to go with her because I'm so intrigued. That's the sign of an amazing creation in my humble opinion. Thank you for sharing!
17:10 It's actually so amazing to have a plan because you can enjoy the fun part of a project knowing what your gonna do for the foundation. I like to write fiction and sometimes I come up with worlds and want to make a story with them but often times coming up with a good plot comes in line. It's always a bit of work depending on how the plot comes to me, it can either be fun or boring. It's like my mind throwing me a ball and Ill either have to dive for it or might just need to grab it with one hand. It's different everytime. I love writing though and I'll probably never stop! I sounds like a lot of work to some people but its an escape for me and everyone who reads my stories! Keep on doing what you love! I'm glad your able to put it on TH-cam and afford a camera and maybe get a bit of extra income from this!
The facial sculpting was amazing even though it was such a small surface to work with. I've made huge sculptures and sometimes fail to make details like that. Kudos.
Very cool piece and for some info: water is what you use to thin Acrylic paints. It is how companies thin heavy body paints into "sprayable" mediums I used to thin my acrylic paint so it would flow in my airbrush. You do not need to use distilled water, tap is just fine unless you have a contamination of some kind. I am glad to have found your channel I find it very relaxing to watch and listen to your process. Thank you for posting!
your sculptures are very cool! watching your videos inspired me to go and buy some polymer clay and tools today and i did my first sculpture. it looks a little messy, but i am learning! i am pretty proud of how it turned out! wish i could post pictures here to show you how you can inspire people to try new things ! thank you!!
I love how you use easy tools & materials! nothing too big & fancy & expensive. youre my new favorite channel to watch! thank you for inspiring me :) Im glad youve recently been getting the recognition you deserve 💛
Don’t know how I missed this one..I love her for many reasons.You created a beautiful piece of art from your imagination ,it was not dictated by others ,I love the colours it’s made her look a very striking piece.Also a lot would have done her in blacks and purples as it’s how every one sees a witch ..You did not ,you kept her colours vibrant with a bit of shadow which brought the texture out more.Just brilliant 😀
I've just started watching your vids, and you remind me of myself when I draw. "it turned out good anyway, so that's good. 5 million hours later" its great
Excellent piece with exceptional attention to detail. I’ve been diluting acrylic paints for years, depending on color and manufacture they are not all the same consistency and requires diluting, never had a problem. BTW the “hand” sculpting is definitely some of the best I’ve seen.
She is fantastic. I kept saying to myself “she needs gills!” Also a long staff in her left hand would have been great. Just ideas that kept popping into my head. But she is truly kind of majestic. Great job once again.
@@exosproudmamabear558 just buy a cheap box of white clay (sculpey) and play around with it! Find things you can make to sell and that'll generate income to buy the GOOD STUFF!! That's what I'm doing now! The better clays are a lil more expensive... I'm on a disability income and have to save for a LONG time to afford the Good brands, but if you love it, it's worth the wait!! I've been looking online auctions for a decent set of used sculpting tools.. the good clay and good tools are key!! I can't WAIT to get some decent tools!! I made some primitive looking tools, but they don't suffice compared to the nice tools!
I love watching your videos. you make it look so easy. This piece is awesome I love the "suckers" and your use of paints! Her hair was a great choice!! "Detail for days" should be on your shirts.
One of you vids popped up in my recommendations I thought ok I’ll give it a watch, I’m so happy I did. Your channel has very quickly become my favorite on TH-cam and I watch it daily. Thank you very much from a new and now forever fan.
I just came across this site as I am looking for clay projects for my granddaughter. I am hooked! You are so talented and creative. Thanks for the ideas for sculptures.
OMG! I am now totally addicted to your channel! If I wasn’t before this project cinched it for me! I’m a pc artist as well however, not on the scale of your massive talent. Keep up the fantastic creations I enjoy it all! she is beautiful!!!
I love your witch your so clever in the way that you put them together. It is like your doing a puzzle without a picture I dream of being able to make models like you Thank you for share of your wonderful video Hugs and cuddles from Milton Keynes UK
She's gorgeous!!! I love your sea creatures! I'd love to see a mer-man/King of the Sea type guy... Crown, staff, and the works! Sort of on the lines of Ariel's father, with a touch of Zeus, or just watching you create an idea is amazing. I'm definitely subscribed. You make me want to get my clay out and start sculpting again!!! ❤❤❤
"I'm fully aware she looks like an alien and I'm okay with that."
You sound like my mom defending me to my aunts 😂
I'm glad your mom is okay with you looking like an alien
Oh a self roast those are rare
I love your thrift store series, I'd love to see more of it :)
me too
Me three! I absolutely agree🌸
Best Subscription of 2019 !
You’re videos are so soothing to watch and listen to.

Love her!! She is mystical and beautiful.
but will be nice if he add joints? like to be posable?
I agree. She’s so pretty 🥰

Your attention to detail is absolutely mind-blowing. And I love your creations when you paint them bright colours!!
You should be so proud of her! I'm speechless! I've also learned some really cool techniques watching this thanks!
Really appreciate how you slowed down to show us how you sculpt eyes, very helpful!
Yes, making it look more "realistic". Not only is your art amazing, I love your commentaries. Even when unintentional they're funny!
I am going to sound like a broken record! BUT this turned out amazing, I know I say that in all your recent videos, but I really think you are soooo creative and talented. And I am always looking forward to your videos

it looks like something out of subnautica
I was about to say the same thing 😂
@@ranferihernandezjr3104 same here xD
I love subnautica:D
I think this is my favourite of your sculptures! I love how organic she looks!
I love the mixture of textures, and the iridescent paint really makes the piece pop!

Just wanna say it's been a very long time since anything left me in this kind of state of euphoric awe. I'm genuinely grateful I found your channel.
I love the amount of detail you have in your sculptures! I can’t wait to see what you make next.
I can't say how much I love watching your creations come to life. Your instincts and talent are top notch! She's beautiful.
Looks amazing! It would be interesting to see a timer/time stamp of how long the process actually took
Love Love Love!!!! I'm a huge ocean life fan and her barnacles and such are on point! The tentacles came out amazing, the whole piece did.
I think she's gorgeous! Believe it or not she's the perfect color. We lived in the Caribbean and we found a baby octopus with those same colors! Extremely beautiful work.
this sculpture is incredible, this may quite possibly be my favorite sculpture you’ve done.
i love everything about this.
Love the color scheme and such a dynamic pose too! this looks like it was one hell of project, but you definitely nailed it!
That ball tool is so magical! Brings so much realism to the natural indents and curve of the body that usually get over looked. Amazing videos!
I can’t believe how talented and creative you are, she is just fabulous I love everything about her!
Wow she is incredible! I want to write and illustrate a whole story to go with her because I'm so intrigued. That's the sign of an amazing creation in my humble opinion. Thank you for sharing!
I’m in love with all your creations. Really, you’re so freaking good
The webbing makes the legs look more organic and natural than without it. It came out amazing. 😋

Absolutely love her! She's gorgeous and bad ass at the same time! Great job!
The facial sculpting was amazing even though it was such a small surface to work with. I've made huge sculptures and sometimes fail to make details like that. Kudos.
Can I just say you are absolutely amazing!!! You are so talented, I absolutely love this piece!!! Thank you so much for sharing this 😍😍😍😍😍😍
She is amazing! Love the colors
She's absolutly stunning! I really love the colours and her bodyshape. You're a great inspiration. Please make more things like that.
She turned out epic! She looks like she could be a Disney villainess!

Another stroke of genius. Excellent work again.
Uuuhmm.. Holy crap! That is unbelievably cool! I want a sister set collection to go on my shelf!!!!
