Have you ever considered streaming yourself sculpting? Would the sculpt and bake take too long? I just think it seems like you have a desire to communicate immediately with your fans and vice versa. IDK just a thought
@@cynthiat6505 It’s all the creative ideas running through our heads, right? Plus studies show that creative people literally see things/the world differently
I love how throughout the video we see little parts of his daily life and personality poking in, more so than the voiceovers. It makes it seem very personal and I enjoyed it a lot. “little feet, tEEny tInY Tim Burton fEET”
I literally love this format so much, it feels so personal and gives us a way better view into your process and thoughts while sculpting! Its also wonderful to get to know more about you!
I would be interested to see how you would sculpt Minecraft mobs, like how do you think these blocky creatures would look like in a real life scenario.
Ooh I'd watch that! I don't even play minecraft, but am familiar with the characters because of my kids. I've been trying to get my son into sculpting. He'd LOVE a real life minecraft character
I like how even when you’re nervous you push through and do things and don’t let it hold you back from creating something you want to ( now we need an ace of clay Tim Burton movie and my life will be complete 🥰)
I’m binge watching your videos while my 1 year old son naps. I’m literally in awe of your work! You are so insanely talented. When I’m not “napping” my craft of choice is to make decor, shirts, trinkets and so much more with my cricut! I love crafting my own home decor items. I’ve considered doing TH-cam but Im a mom of three with absolutely no time.
the coolest part of having artistic talent like that is you get to make yourself. as an artist myself i think its really cool to see how youd look in your own little world.
I love this sit down and chill kinda format, it's like hanging out with a friend, it's nice having this on in the background while I'm drawing ^^ I too am also always losing things as I'm creating stuff 😂 I love how this looks, it totally fits in with Tim Burton's style 😁
This is genuinely my favorite video of this whole channel. Getting to see your actual thought process in real time and watching how excited you got when the face turned out; it's all so good!!! I adore this format, it's just 45 minutes of you doing what you love and letting us in on it ❤️
There is nothing narcissistic about being so pleased with a sculpture of yourself! Any artist knows that capturing their own image is a gargantuan challenge, regardless of the medium. Being satisfied with the results, especially on the first go is a huge accomplishment!
Loved when a Doll makeover TH-camr called "Poppen Atelier" did a doll makeover to look like her. Best thing ever when creative minds make mini versions of themselves in their creative style.
Many of my proud moments include convincing British people that I'm British when I'm bartending or on discord. It always falls apart when they ask what region I'm from... "Londonburg-liverpoolstead" never works. XD
I honestly love it when artists make self portraits/ sculptures etc. because you really see their artist style and passion for what they do, you also get a bit of an insight of how they view themselves😍
@@HollysHooks That sounds really cool. I do a fair bit of my crocheting improvised too... which is actually kind of unfortunate if I ever want to make a second copy of anything >_
31:44 - Okay so I may have been skimming the comments while the video was going & this comment had me so confused Made a lot more sense when I got to that part 🤣🤣🤣
I love how this came out, but even more, I love seeing the joy you have as it comes together! That's my favorite part of this kind of format, the more real-time one, where we get to see you react to your work. Seeing you get so excited about a piece is amazing. Well done, as always!
I really like this format, you doing things "live" and showing the process. I like all of your content however it may be, but this just feels like we're hanging out and chatting. Very relaxing. 👍🏻
I feel like with this new format, you are so much more relatable. Being able to see that you struggle sometimes too, and have the same issues we do. And you’re super cool and entertaining!!!
for what it's worth, i love this format! i know a lot of artist don't like being in front of the camera, but if you do like it, do it! it's a way for us to connect with you more.
That looks so incredible!! Shame you didn’t add your “Ace of Clay” logo onto the shirt, I think it would’ve added a nice contrast in white 😁😁 but damn especially after you added the beard I was like AHA, ANTHONY!! 😂
For learning purposes, I like the voiceovers better because he explains clearly more. This is more personal about the process and his personality. Sculting is so intimidating but he makes it fun and easy to learn with his "snakes of clay"..lol
Oh my goodness! I haven't seen this channel in such a long time and I'm so happy to see how much he has grown. He's so comfy infront of the camera! I can't believe he was worried at all...ridiculously talented.
I used to watch all your videos but kinda stopped at some point, I just came back to them and I gotta say I love the new format, it feels a lot more personal and we get to see some insight into your personality! I love all the rambling to the camera and how real you seem now, like "this guy is just as goofy and distractible as me". Also as an artist it's really comforting to hear that even popular artists, who have spent a really long time honing their skills and their medium of choice, sometimes psych themselves out before a project! I know I am just one of literally hundreds of thousands of subscribers, but I think the new videos are great!
Dude I don’t know why you were so Nervous about this.. I love watching your videos. You are an amazing artist. I showed one of your videos to my husband, now he follows you. Like I said your an amazing artist. So talented! Please just keep doing your thing! Stay safe an have a great weekend!
I’ve been crushing on Anthony for a couple years now and seeing him in the wide angel doesn’t help this. Just encourages cause he’s goofy and cute! 😅 HEEEEELLLLPPPP
It's not narcissistic to like a self portrait (or self sculpture, in this case.) One of my favorite paintings I've ever done is a self portrait. As for what I'm working on, I'm illustrating my own tarot deck!
I appreciate the fact that I can see the ADHD in vids like this - not trying to mask it, but showing what it’s like to get things done. #relatablecontent
"maybe I'll be holding your hand" oooohhhh ace getting flirty up in this video. ;3 I want to repaint a monster high dolls to look like me. Even thought about using my own hair so it's super realistic but.. we shall see.
I’m so glad to hear him say he’s so happy doing this. I do love this format and seeing his growth. This sculpture came out amazing!!! It looks like him!
This video is so sweet and funny I love that you have the opportunity to just kind of talk about whatever comes to mind in these videos, as opposed to your voiceovers.
Success in tiny little steps makes the way to huge successes! Even when I have to start my projects over or do not finish them there are some pretty lovelbul outcomes in the work that I am gonna repeat in next projects. I love watching people doing art for some reasons 1. I lern for my projects, every video I watch is also a lesson, 2. I got idears for new projects, 3. I love watching the process, when every thing comes together like making the zipper and the hangy things, 4. It is awsome to see how an ideer got real, 5. It teaches me how to handle things on my projects and 6. Its relaxing
This was one of the coolest, cutest episodes of Ace of Clay yet. I loved the fun conversation mixed in with the sculpt: adds so much more personality to the vids as opposed to just being a tutorial.
Let me know what you thought of this video!! I had so much fun with this project. Be sure to follow me on Instagram and Twitter @aceofclay!
Was wondering when you’d get around to doing yourself in this style! You should do cryptids in your own style!
I loved it! I think you should do more like this. Take other non Burton characters and make them into one.
I think you should work with Tim Burton 😎
I enjoyed watching your videos 👍
Have you ever considered streaming yourself sculpting? Would the sculpt and bake take too long? I just think it seems like you have a desire to communicate immediately with your fans and vice versa. IDK just a thought
Anthony: “Oh wow, I look pretty cracked out huh?”
Me: “Well, you did just get baked.”
You deserve more likes.
😂😂
hahahahaha!
thats great😂😂😂
@Llama drama ll
voiceover Anthony: professional, witty, focused
this Anthony: the talented kid in art class with ADHD
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Most artists are a bit “oooo shiny!” I’m a musician.....squirrel!!!!
@@cynthiat6505 I'm a painter/sculptor myself... ADHD is definitely common with us!
All creative people are a bit broken in a good way 🤣
Ah! _That's_ why I relate so much to this one
@@cynthiat6505 It’s all the creative ideas running through our heads, right? Plus studies show that creative people literally see things/the world differently

Agree, feels more personal too and closer as if you were really there somehow :).
Agreed! He’s lovable!!! Also great to have with you while you work on your own art stuff
@@CT-pj6pn Yeah
Totally 💯 he’s so funny 😂
Yesssss!
I love it when artists do self-portraits/renditions. It’s so interesting to see how you guys interpret yourselves 💕
"Yeah... I can sorta see it... kinda looks like him..." *adds beard* "Whoa! There he is!"
I was thinking the same...yea, kinda...( paints beard on) BOOM! Anthony! Also, I feel like painting the eyebrows made a big difference...
I love Anthony's energy in this video
He seems so happy
Ace: **uploads**
Ooh, I wonder what kinda creature we’re gonna get tod-
Ace: **3D selfie**
...I am surprised, but far from disappointed.
Loved this video maybe your best one ever
Anthony: “Maybe I’ll be holding your hand.”
Me: sitting in the dark in my room watching clay videos at like midnight “Aww that’s sweet.”
The face he made when he said that made me laugh really hard😂 it reminded me of flin rider from tangled when he does the smolder😂
@Sabrina same
*And then you feel something touch your hand*
@@william-lucipher618 issa demon bruh
Same! 🤣
I would be interested to see how you would sculpt Minecraft mobs, like how do you think these blocky creatures would look like in a real life scenario.

That’s a dope idea
Ooh I'd watch that! I don't even play minecraft, but am familiar with the characters because of my kids. I've been trying to get my son into sculpting. He'd LOVE a real life minecraft character
We had the exact same idea during the same video. I was thinking endermen when he talked about him looking like Coraline's dad.
Am watching this while I'm in hospital with a broken ankle, so these longer more chatty videos have been really good to pass the time.
oh- hope you get better :’)
you probably already did-
@@william-lucipher618 thank-you! I am mostly healed, just physio to get the ankle working properly again 😄
@@Quinnofthevoid good! :D
I love the in person video style because it feels like I am having a friendly conversation with him.👍
I like how even when you’re nervous you push through and do things and don’t let it hold you back from creating something you want to ( now we need an ace of clay Tim Burton movie and my life will be complete 🥰)
Can we all just appreciate his facial expression when he got the email about his phone bill 😂

THIS MAKES ME HAPPY AS I LOVE TO DRAW MYSELF IN DIFFERENT WORLDS AND STUFF THAT I WISH I LIVED IN BUT I FEEL REALLYBAD AND SELFISH
I love this sit down and chill kinda format, it's like hanging out with a friend, it's nice having this on in the background while I'm drawing ^^ I too am also always losing things as I'm creating stuff 😂 I love how this looks, it totally fits in with Tim Burton's style 😁
I appreciate that I'm not the only one who gets distracted by everything. 😂
A sculpting collab with Ace and Jazza would be awsome. Like a scene where they each make a character for it or they each make part of a character.
"Maybe I'll be holding your hand..." I mean, if you insist!
Yeh, that was kind of ........ inviting? Sure, why not.
I’ve been waiting for him to ask!!
I wouldn't complain.
Right?? Like i have no problems with that lol
I was like: Ow... Yes pls
I like hearing you talk while you sculpt! It seems more personal and we can see where your mindset is at! You’re awesome btw! 😊
I really enjoy this style of video, your casual dialogue is very entertaining and feels a bit like hanging out and doing art stuff with a friend!
That's how I felt too! I'm sitting here sculpting some little things and listening/watching. Feels like being in an art club house
It’s 1:44 am and I am watching this to fall asleep cuz your voice is relaxing and i like watching crafts and sculpting videos
“Maybe I’ll be holding your hand* 👁👄👁
The creepy smile though
Not me hearing that and blushing randomly 😅

Would you consider doin the Pale man from pans labyrinth? Or any other Guillermo del toro creatures
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH THIS
YES
YES PLSSS
Absolutely, Yes!
Wow yes!
There is nothing narcissistic about being so pleased with a sculpture of yourself! Any artist knows that capturing their own image is a gargantuan challenge, regardless of the medium. Being satisfied with the results, especially on the first go is a huge accomplishment!
Everybody needs their own Mini Me in their studio! 😄
Loved when a Doll makeover TH-camr called "Poppen Atelier" did a doll makeover to look like her. Best thing ever when creative minds make mini versions of themselves in their creative style.
Ace: *Starts doing a british accent*
British person (me): You sound like a cross between welsh and indian lol
Im am welsh:) xD
omg yea-
haha yeah I totally heard it lean into the Welsh. technically British XD
Many of my proud moments include convincing British people that I'm British when I'm bartending or on discord.
It always falls apart when they ask what region I'm from... "Londonburg-liverpoolstead" never works. XD
Now you literally fit in with your other characters! 😁 So epic lol
I honestly love it when artists make self portraits/ sculptures etc. because you really see their artist style and passion for what they do, you also get a bit of an insight of how they view themselves😍
“What are you working on?”
I’ll feed into that interaction analytic! I’m currently crocheting a granny square crop top.
That sounds awesome. Are you working from a pattern, or improvising?
@@draughtoflethe I had someone send me a picture of something they wanted to commission, so I’m just making it up as I go. I mostly freehand. :)
@@HollysHooks That sounds really cool. I do a fair bit of my crocheting improvised too... which is actually kind of unfortunate if I ever want to make a second copy of anything >_
@@draughtoflethe I also write patterns, so OCCASIONALLY I’ll write down what I did to make duplicates easier. Otherwise, I fake it til I make it. 😎
Haha I'm crocheting a baby blanket for a friend while watching this too.
"I will go bake myself again."
-Demonetized-
Man, I love videos that are 40 minutes long 😎
"I prefer to add clay then subtract clay."
*instantly removes clay for the arms*
**casually brings up a middle part**
"Nobody cares."
Me: **cares** 👁👄👁
I don't even know what that would look like on him. I'm curious lol
Right? Lmao

Listen, I love this format SO MUCH
I wonder how Tim burton would actually recreate you as his character and to see them compared
I swear this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen
As an Australian, listening to that ‘Aussie accent’ had me in stitches. I love you more and more every video 😂🙌🏻
I know right, had me totally laughing, (Sydney here).. so funny hearing others try our accent haha
i like this kind of format, like friends sitting face to face doing thing they love while having nice open conversation
Omfg so excited to see how this sculpture came together!! 😁🙌
There's something comforting about knowing that the artists you follow are just as scatterbrained as you lol
Love the new video format! Just in the end you need to say... It’s Done! Much love Anthony

Enjoyed seeing your personality shine through. Also loved the candid moments.,phone bill, scissors, and bamboo, lol.

I swear that for ages I thought you were saying bacon bond, clearly James' meatier cousin.

I am loving the style of this video, the accents are hilarious!
Also, yes, this format is more fun! Your personality tops the cake of your art!
Why does he seem so professional when I’m voiceover mode but when it’s wide he’s all over the place forgetting things lol
😂😂 because voiceovers are a LIE

Nailed the likeness. Its hard to replicate your own features in art and you did it flawlessly.
If someone handed me this and asked”who is this” I would easily be able to say Ace of Clay
Omg, I just love every one of these sculpting videos. They just give me so many creative ideas and the finish of them are always so fabulous!
Your attention to detail is amazing .I know I’ve said this before but I do love to watch you work and how you mind works.
I have Drawn myself as a Tim Burton character and I can't tell how many times I thought about it in my head and actually do it 🤩
This was so different from what you normally do, I appreciate it ❤️ great video 😊
Oh my god help. Anthony goes from voiceover artist to so damn relatable.
Maybe I’ll do a mukbang,
*cause I love eating*
From one type of artist to another I can say that you did a great job
i absolutely adore you. you’re so real with your commentary and you’re just so unbelievably talented! i love this video, one of my favorites so far.
I’m only halfway through and I’m beyond impressed. This is so great!!
I love these videos. They’ve inspired me to get back into sculpting and they’re so helpful and fun to watch 😁

o k i guess no-one irons their clothes anymore-
🙅🏻🤣🤣🤣💯
This was one of the coolest, cutest episodes of Ace of Clay yet. I loved the fun conversation mixed in with the sculpt: adds so much more personality to the vids as opposed to just being a tutorial.
The final result looks outstanding and a suggestion: make a discord server
I really like this format! It certainly feels more casual, natural, and real!
