#clay #hollowknight #sculpture - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
"Creepy Chitinous Beetle-Shell-Looking Pile of Unidentifiable" is pretty much the Hollow Knight aesthetic, nailed it.
"Nailed" it.
I see what you did there
Lol. Likee half the walls and floors in the game are made up of dead bugs.
@@julie3730dang it! I was gonna say that
[insert picture of the lowest part of the map here]
I hope you’ll do the Hollow Knight as in the final boss as well, and maybe Hornet too. Massive Hollow Knight fan, and I waited quite a while for this, so I’m happy you finally did this
I was gonna comment this, but it looks like you beat me to it
north of the border will make hornet when silksong comes out
I would love to see the mantis lords
@@batit5574 Ah, he will make her "soon" then, good to know
Dude he only been playin a little while. Don't drop that spoiler
Aw man, I love the Knight so much. Also, if you ever felt like playing around with the ultrablack paints, the Knight's eyes would be a great place to use them, since they are canonically made of the void.
i cant wait to play as hornet. so hyped for silksong
The action pose was a great choice! It looks like the wind is whipping the cape. Nicely done!
It’s astonishing how great many artist use the term:”I don’t know what I’m doing” to say “I’m gonna let my experience and inspiration free and see what comes out, because I got the experience to do it”
To be honest I don’t think north uses it that way
no because a lot of the time we literally don’t know what the fuck we’re doing and then 12 hours we’ve somehow accomplished close enough to the result that we wanted and then wonder “what the fuck how did i do that”
@@monochrome_soft9472 yeah, sometimes we just space out and when we space back in we’re like “wow that looks awsome” then a week later there’s just hate
@@avarice8765 exactly!
And then there’s the moments where you work on a piece, say “hey, that looks pretty damn good”, and then wake up the next day wondering how you managed to do certain things on your piece in the first place
The Hollow Knight is the name of their sibling who sealed the Infection, this is the Knight, also called little ghost by Hornet.
Great sculpture!
No one knows that, so no one would click on a video called "I made the knight out of clay!"
@@starmouseking9310 ……me…..and him…..and I would…..and thumbnails exist…..
@@starmouseking9310 anyone who actually knows a little bout hk or completed a playthrough of the game, but he does call it the knight in the vid still
@@wify0241 "me, and him, and I." Critique me when you have proper grammar.
@@starmouseking9310 nonono, I know it “me”, he knows it “and him”, I would click on the video “and I would “ and yes im critiquing you, because you’re wrong, it’s fairly common knowledge and again thumbnails STILL exist
Is now a good time to tell you that the hollow knight is actually the final boss, not the character you play as. But ether way it is still and awe inspiring model.
Ryan George reference was much appreciated.
aside from the fact that character isn't the hollow knight, that's really good looking!
also if you wanted to make another Hollow Knight character then Broken Vessel could look really cool as well
True
Yeah i wush that i could tell adam that the fandom calls the main character either 'the knight' or 'ghost'
@@332ljpittman I prefer "vessel" but that is an uncommon name for it
Ghost, or as Hornet calls him - "Kaliimo", is my headcanon name
@@332ljpittman i personally use Knight, mainly because it sounds cool but also mysterious.
You've just jumped down the rabbit hole of making every Hollow Knight enemy, boss, and npc out of clay
Also every area, dead body (just that might take you a couple years) and item
Nosk D:
Gotta love having a way to pop your own ego…😂
Awesome job, Adam!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
THAT IS SO AMAZING, keep up the good work!👍👍👍👍
Dude I LOVE Hollow Knight how did you know?!?!
The whole game is a masterpiece and the art style is so lovely and unique. Thank you for spending your skill and time on this. Wonderful job as always :)
i know right. when silksong finally comes out i cant wait to play it
@@alexandermcadams3845 if silksong comes out
@@Carbon-cringe-human have faith my friend. the devs are taking their time with it so it doesn't end up like Cyberpunk2077. rushed and full of bug.
@@alexandermcadams3845 it’ll be full of bugs alright. Just the natural kind and not the computer crashing kind
@@magicalmercy i sure hope its full of bugs
I’ve never played this game, but this looks so good! This is honestly one of my favorite sculptures you’ve done, I love the dark purple, blue and black aesthetic!
Update: I played it and finished it. It was a blast, I loved the challenge! (I played on normal, that was hard enough for me)
Be warned, I love the game to death, but it is difficult. Being a seasoned fighter in the game and exploring is almost a requirement to complete an ending. Otherwise, go for it!
@@Yellowredstone its more than difficult, this game makes you love it to the death ... be warned you might lose alot of hair and stress but hey we love the game , ive just got ending 1 and 2, died multiple time to get ending 3 against radiance (Ending 4 and 5 too much work)
@@sukhveer8889 Nah I wouldn't say "more than difficult", that would be going into Cuphead territory.
@@YellowredstoneI agree, hollow knight is definitely difficult but it almost always feels fair.
@@parenthesiss Yeah, Hollow Knight is hard but you learn a lot as you progress. When I started it took me hours to beat Hornet with a couple charms and now I'm playing completely without charms or nail upgrades. You can really see your progress over time and everytime you lose you mainly get mad at yourself instead of the game.
A wonderment of shades... and a few colors, and of course the narration is on point.
So many techniques, so much skill...so little time..... Wish I could apprentice under you!
Nice job on this, I used to play Hollow Knight and this might get me back in. Seriously though, who else is waiting for the second game?
theres gonna be another game?
@@tristlol hollow knight silk song, you play as hornet, you should look up the launch trailer
@@Bread853 I saw the trailer and it looked SICK!
@@Bread853 oh NICE alr ill go check it
we're all waiting - who knows when our prayer shalt be answered ..... :/
Fantastic work Adam Hollow Knight its one of my favorite games
Will you consider making another character such as The Last Stag ?
That is a cool choice and I'm in favor of it because most people want to see hornet or the hollow knight which makes sense but it's cool to see the other characters get some love too
Just a mention, the last stag’s name changes to Old Stag when Ghost tells him that there's another Stag somewhere once you find all the stag stations
@@thescarletking9 Idk about yall but I think Nosk would be so much cooler then the hk lol
Give a mouse a cookie
Adam your sculpting inspired my son to sculped his one custom
Hollow Knight character
You gotta respect Adam for all the time he spends doing these things
let's freakin gooo! I have been waiting so long to see a Hollow Knight clay sculpture. I would love to see some of the bosses as sculptures too, a tiny nerdy Nightmare King Grimm would be sick
This guy already made one actually: th-cam.com/video/FFGUU1aRusg/w-d-xo.html But I know what you mean and I’m just as excited to finally see someone I actively watch make a Hollow knight sculpture as you are!
NKG would be awesome
Watching this videos really make me relax and enjoy my free time. Keep it on.
should totally do more hollow knight characters!!
I will not pretend that I know what you made Adam, but it looks cool and that's enough for me. Good job buddy 👏
If you've got the time and patience, you should try out Hollow Knight. It's only 15 bucks and it's an amazing game.
Its also really hard and if you don’t die in the first 15 minutes of playing you are skilled
And youll get the great joy of having to wait for silksong...
for six years
it is genuinely my FAVOURITE all-time game. the combination of the lore, the writing, the art design, the gameplay and immersion, and the MUSIC.... i could go on about it for days. it's only 15 dollars and it was made by a team of 3-4 people, and it deserves to be sold for AT LEAST 25 dollars with how much gametime you can get out of it. buy hollow knight
Gotta say it always is a good week when Adam posts, I love his unique phrases for things, his funny comments, and the fact that he explains his steps (even his failed steps). Not to mention his skill for clay sculpting, it's a real motivation for me to continue on my own path for an art major
I’ve been inspired by you to try and start doing some clay figures and my question is: where do you get your supplies? I’m on a budget and I can’t find any good supplies for a good price. If anyone else has any places please tell me
I find it interesting that you made the nail more like a typical sword, cause I’ve always pictured it more as a cone that spirals on itself, like the arm thing corrin does in smash bros
God I wish I had recorded the process for my hollow knight sculptures!
I can't wait to get home and watch this to see what you did!
*Edit* after watching: amazing. You (as always) did an amazing job. You make this all look so easy!!!
this is really cute and i love how the game's art style lends well to the style of this sculpture !! although I do miss you making more complex dioramas with static grass and all~
I love the knight, their design is so recognizable, cute and cool at the same time, love how they turned out in sculpture form.
"as always the first thing to make is the thing that lets us make the other thing on top of it" *and at that moment he realized... he loved this man"
I don’t know why I hadn’t noticed in other videos but they are SO well edited (in my opinion), I really adore how he uses text with all the perspective!!! SO COOL!! :D
YES!! A Hollow Knight build. It's just in time for Silksong release too....
Oh wait 😑
Silksong doesn't exist what are you talking about?
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 silksong is just an old wive's tale
@@micahconnor8954 the trailer just drop check igns channel
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 check igns channel the trailer just dropped
I actually know the people that made hollow knight, so pretty much after it first came out we immediately got it, I still havent finished it years later, but it’s a 10/10 game
This sculpture looks amazing
omg no way hollow knight, ive been playing this game recently!! :D
Incredible sculpture!! I LOVE the big bright cartoony highlights you did on this, such a cool stylistic feature that brings so much energy and interest to the piece! Love watching what you do!!
You are super talented, I love watching you bring the clay to life each time. Thanks!
This is my favourite game of all time, very cool sculpture
I love all your videos when You cool tiny nerdy things and I have an idea what you could make next, you could make the scorebunny evolution. Keep up the good work 😊😊
"Creepy Chitinous Beetle-Shell-Looking Pile of Unidentifiable" sounds like the perfect scary children's book title. Amazing job, Adam!
This video makes me so insanely happy. The knight is appropriately adorable, amazing work as always!
Hollow Knight being my absolute favorite game ever this looks amazing.
Cute and well made, I respect you, my teacher 😉😉😉
I feel that you really nailed it, Adam. Congrats! It's always a pleasure watching you sculpt, and this is no exception.
Been meaning to pass along this materials tip in case you hadn't heard of it before: Aves Apoxie Clay mixed more-or-less equally with Green Stuff gives you a self-curing piece that cures rock-hard and is also sand- and carve-able. I picked the tip up from Tom Mason, a tabletop miniature sculptor who likes the combo for weapons, especially blades.
Hehe
NAILed it huh?
Your videos are literally what I look forward to in the week. It makes me so happy!
1:33 made me die laughing! Why? I don’t know.
Love this game, always glad to see Hollow Knight appreciation! You did a great job with the proportions, wonderful piece
Epic as always, happy to see you doing stuff from Hollow Knight.
Love your work. You're the reason I started sculpting again!
Feels like a "Paint it black" song reference throughout most of the painting
I think this is one of the best ones you made.
Ahhhh it's so cute and majestic! My partner looooves Hollow Knight, I've watched him play for hours and the lil nail-wielding bugger wormed his way into my heart too. You did an amazing job representing the spirit of the character and game :)
I Don't know why, but your editing is some of my favorite of the crafters I watch. There is just something about it that tickles me fancy.
“Somewhere in my bouts of angry crying” same bro
Watching stuff like this is really relaxing. Way to go!
Incredible content as always, Adam. Thanks for being so hilarious all the time haha
No exaggeration, Adam, all of your videos are so very satisfying to watch - you've really gained a skilled use of your materials (and of course editing the footage) in a way that makes for a great viewing experience. Narration's okay too 😉
DANG THIS LOOKS FIRE Congrats, you have skills!
I saw this video in my recommended a while back and thought oh what the hell, i don't know anything about the game but I'll watch it. Finished the video and my interest peaked, got the game, and never looked back. Just wanted to thank you for this video and letting me find my favorite game I've ever played
Great job, hollow knight is one of my favorite games and to see this sculpture is incredible!
I recently fell in love with Hollow Knight, and was so stoked to see that you made him!! Incredible job!!
Yooo this is sooo sick. As someone who likes Hollowknight and clay models, this is a win win
7:09 i live how when he says “memories” the video artifacts.
I love Hollow Knight! This looks awesome, great job!
Hey north of the border, just a random suggestion is all I have, the legend who defeated the hardest boss in elden rings 1000th times without armor, a simple guy called 'let me solo her' and if you could, the boss he defeated so many times, the goddess of rot (but you don't have to do that part, because it might be hard Because of the hair alone)
As a lover of Hollow Knight this is awesome
It’s adorable that he uses a little nail as a sword
Yes !!!! Love this so much ! It's my favorite game, I hope you'll do other characters. It's really awesomely executed!
I love Hollow Knight, and I love your channel. This made my day. Keep it up!
one of my fav statues of yours, the head looks so clean
This looks amazing and the purple light makes it look like his in crystal peak and about to hop down into the city of tears and get the dream nale
I waited so long for this! Thank you for working on it!
Heya , this was a fun video to watch
Just curious, have u seen/ played the new clash royale mini game? As the characters look like theyd be gun to make out of clay
Just a suggestion tho, love ur content :D
0:43 The music when he tries to add on the clay is hilarious
Yay hollow knight!! Love it. This actually looks AMAZING. You nailed the little knight
This man is so talented he could literally turn anything into like this beautiful work of our like I'm just so Amazed on how amazing this guy is
This is amazing ! Would love if you did more Hollow Knight characters ^^
After all, this video mixes two things I love, Hollow Knight and your channel !
YES, absolutely amazing. I love hollow knight.
Coming from a huge Hollow Knight fan you did such a great job keep it up king.
Now make a slug cat from rain world 👍
Please
I don't think I've wanted a sculpture more then I want this lol, I love it, you did so fricken good
Wow! You are incredibly talented! Following this channel.
Sooo, who’s telling him it’s a nail? With all seriousness amazing job man! 9.8/10!!!
As a lore person, I have to correct this. The character you play as isn't actually the Hollow Knight. You are called "The Knight."
I can tell you've paid attention to the lore by calling it "the hollow" instead of "the knight".
Not that long ago I got into clay by sculpting two little figurines of characters from Hollow Knight. Today I see this. Nice.
Heya Adam. Where do you put your tiny nerdy things once you've completed them? Do they sit on a big wooden bookshelf devoted to tiny nerdy things, or on a hilariously cluster-stuffed shelf in your workshop? Are they on display in your grandmother's china cabinet? Do you stuff them all into a sad box for tiny-nerdy-things-I-don't-have-anymore-space-for-so-I-guess-I'll-just-put-this-here?
Uhm actually that's not the hollow knight 🤓🤓
Cool, but the character is "The Knight" not the "Hollow Knight"
I love the Hollow Knight game and your sculpture looks just awesome. Thumbs up
I hope you know, when I saw the thumbnail, I literally zoomed in on the horns *spoilers for late-game* to check and see if this was indeed the titular character or if it was Ghost XD. Excellent job, the cloak's flow and motion as well as the *chef's kiss* mwah of the head shape being perfect are just amazing! Thank you for creating our best beetle needle knight!
(Also that description of Hollow Knight was so good, I would describe it to friends as the game where you feel so great beating a boss and then go to the next spot and immediately get dunked on by a "weaker" enemy, but in such a fun way. An absolutely amazing game, would recommend to anyone who loves amazing story, lore, and mysteries, and wants to improve their "skills". I really believe Hollow Knight made me a better player for games in general, just because its difficulty curve is so good and teaches skills that can be applied to tons of different genres, even if you're not big on metrovanias, or even games in general (things like pattern recognition, connecting details, problem solving, and, yes, actual reflexes and motor skills. XD))
((Also, since the description reminded me, if you want to meet another fun beetle knight protagonist and haven't already, the indie Bug Fables has one as well! He doesn't wield needles, but his teammate does! Very different in gameplay, but super solid if you enjoy anything like the old Paper Marios or strategized turn-based action-input rpgs, and Kabbu the beetle knight is an absolutely precious protector and the first of three protagonists you! It just made me laugh there's two beetle knight'd indies out there, that are both super great but super different!))
Yaaaay, I'm so glad you're playing Hollow Knight - it's one of my all-time fav games! Your Knight came out amazing too!
I attempted to play this game a while ago… anyway great sculpture!!!
I really wanna see your entire collection of clay sculptures
Cool, I love your art.Thanks
Y'know what will really bring you down a couple of pegs? Waiting for silksong.
yeeeeaaaah
Hey man, you inspired me to start modelling clay thanks so much for ideas and inspiring me
I need that in my room right now it looks awesome, great job!
Yes yes yes, I am so ready for a Hollow Knight series. Would love to see you do Grimm / Nightmare King
