Thanks to everyone for watching! This video helped to pay for my cat's final expenses and I saw this as a good opportunity to sculpt a cool character from a popular game and share some knowledge along the way. Also, the title is a joke don't @me 😘 💚- Chris
My condolences for your cat passing away. Any pets passing always hurts more than you would expect. Thank you for the new, amazing sculpture though ^^.
Adequate 😉 Nice work Chris. Now you have time for all those other requests don't you. Or you could hang out on Discord with the rest of the Patreon backers. Yeah, that.
I don’t know what to like more, their guy’s incredible sculpting skills, the amazing video editing, or his random pieces of humor he throws in! Honestly the most legendary sculptor on the Tube!
Man, your sculpting is absolutely incredible. I get overwhelmed just thinking about how much time you must have dedicated to honing your craft to get to this level, and how much passion for it you show. It's inspiring, you deserve a whole lot more recognition and for your art and content to reach more people. Thank you for putting such a huge effort into every video you share with us!
Bro... I don't even have to tell you how f*cking good you are, because you already know that. Just wanted to say thank you. I've been following your work for a long time, and you've been an inspiration for me. I remember when I first watched your videos a few years back, it was mind-blowing to me and made me want to push harder to improve my own skills. Seeing what you can achieve gave me the motivation to keep going when I was going through rough patches. Thanks for showing what's possible. Keep up the great work! 👊
Thank you very much! A gallery would be cool! I’d love to just have them set up at some arcade somewhere. Maybe Funspot in NH they have the room over there.
Thank you very much! I had to cut that hair section way down lol. I tried to keep it succinct so it was easy to follow. It’s one of the tougher things to help people grasp. Thanks again for watching 😊
I can but if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer in the meantime. It would take me a few months at least to make a new tutorial. I have been thinking about it but in the meantime, I’m here to help and love to talk shop.
@@SculptureGeek Hey man thanks for the generous offer. I think I have so many questions about so many things though that it would be disrespectful of your time to just fire a bunch off here, so I'll just wait till you get around to making the tutorial because at least there I'm paying you, lol.
I totally appreciate that. I was considering making a wed clay tutorial video for youtube to cover the basics and a bit more but I just don’t know how well it would do for the amount of time I’d have to sink in. I’m not totally sure how many of you want to learn how to sculpt vs. just be entertained. I can’t imagine there are a ton of people that really want to get into this so I try to keep it basic enough to understand and interesting enough to follow 😅
@@SculptureGeek Yea I don't know how valuable the previous tutorials were to you financially vs. time invested, but for people like me they were so valuable. Another idea besides making a full on tutorial would be to upload a sort of "less abridged" timelapse of your sculpting process to your Patreon. A good example of this is a TH-camr called Crafty Art if you look up what he just did with his Willem Defoe Joker sculpt. He made a sort of "entertainment" TH-cam video timelapse of his process similar to the way you do, but then he put up longer segments of his sculpting sessions on his Patreon for those people like me who are actually interested in learning something as you mentioned lol. He split up a sculpt probably similar in length to what you've done here into like ten or so 15-20 minute semi-edited timelapse segments of like one video for "Teeth and Wrinkles" one video for "Hair" etc. So it's not as in depth as a tutorial but those interested can actually discern what you're doing and it's actually useful educationally so people will pay for it via Patreon. Maybe something like that could be a good idea for you as a sort of "in between" putting out fully edited and narrated tutorials vs. these super abridged TH-cam videos?
Thank you! Yeah they have some really great character designs. I got to pick who I wanted to sculpt and I gravitated to this one for that very reason. Thanks for stopping by! 🙏
Thank you! I haven't sculpted the Hulk in many years. I was considering doing one for the channel, here. This guy definitely gives off Hulk vibes and the whole time I was sculpting him, I was thinking that. Although, I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan- Love the originals of course but I love Darth Maul too!
When i saw this video in my subbox, i was cheering with joy because i was trying to find something to drink milk and cookies with and this was the perfect videos to ever watch.
Thank you so much 😀 the “master” bit is just for fun and to be a little self deprecating. I hope no one takes it seriously. Much appreciated tho thank you 🙏💚
Your videos genuinely make me excited and put a smile on my face whenever I see thumbnails for them in my subscription feed. Not many videos illicit that type of reaction from me. It's always a pleasure to watch you do your magic. Thanks for taking the time to share your magic with the rest of us!
Thank you for this comment! It means a lot to hear. I put so much work into each and every one of these. I’m happy to see it doesn’t go totally unnoticed 💚🙏 Thank you for watching!
I don’t sculpt but have learned so much watching you. Something as simple as hair has a way about it. How to place it, the direction of it, how it grows. Never noticed before until now. I am curious whether these characters are based on real mens’ faces. This is the second video I’ve seen of you and it would really be scary if there were real men who look this mean.
Another outstanding piece sir, well done. The realism of the face, the signature style eyes, and I got a great lesson on how to create hair (I'm a carver). Thanks again
Awesome! Yeah for carving, I would approach hair the same way but of course taking into consideration how much mass you need to leave. Carving is definitely much trickier. I find that I like to play with the sculpt instead of fully committing from the start 😅
Another fantastic video! I loved the tutorials, specifically the hair tutorial. I personally struggle with sculpting hair so it's appreciated. Also, I loved the 20 minute later.
Should do a quick sculpt of Adam Jensen from Mankind Divided, think it'd look cool seeing his beard and hair done slick with cool lenses and stuff, either that or War from Darksiders, hood and all....
Never played Deus Ex unfortunately. I’ll check it out! I did play Darksiders when it came out a while back. War would be cool for sure! Thanks for watching!
Haha thanks man! I don’t want anyone to take the silly title seriously. That’s why there’s dollar signs and junk. I’m just up here having a laugh. Very much appreciated tho 🙏💚
Adore this! The skill on this is beyond incredible. Just amazing. I would love to see a Warcraft Orc like Grom, Thrall or Saurfang. This dude is just so BA! Definitely subbing for more!
Thanks so much and welcome! Lots more on the way but on the subject of Warcraft- I actually sculpted the Black Knight action figure for Blizzard/DC like back in 2009 or so. That was a way different character type but I do love these big muscle-y types. Any Warcraft orc type would be fun and I’m always open to suggestions :)
Stunning work! What do you “do” with these sculpts made from this clay? I mean, how well does it keep and do you find that it cracks over time? Is that ever a concern?
Thanks! Anything made in this clay particularly, should be molded. The clay normally cracks in unpredictable spots so there’s a window in which case you can make a successful mold of it. It’s possible to reconstitute the clay to be used again but sometimes that’s not worth the effort. It depends as well how long you let it dry out for- for instance, if you let it firm up just enough to be handled, and then do the mold, you can sort of scrape off the outer shell and that makes it easier to re-use. It would need to be wrapped back up and used as soon as possible. This one specifically will probably just get tossed if it cracks in unsightly places- if it doesn’t, then I’ll hang on to it.
Any tips for hand sculpting at smaller scales (e.g. 1/10th)? I'm thinking of using either Monster clay [hard] or sculpey [firm]. I'm looking to do a character in the style of miles from into the spider-verse. Thanks.
Geek: saying all the materials and giving advice on how to sculpt things well Me (knowing full well that I’m not gonna sculpt): as yes for reference Seriously love how ya can have with yourself XD
No, this clay has to be molded once you're finished with the piece. When it dries out, it becomes very brittle and cracks unpredictably. There are things you can do to mitigate the cracking but, you're better off just molding it.
hey man! just wanted to pop up to encourage you more to do more amazing work! i am an artist too, that's why i can understand it's not talent, it's the hardwork, patience, determination in such works, that's your work in this is so visible and so beautiful my g! and the editing! and i loved how you are now including more and more of the lighthearted-ness and humour, i love your videos! wish you more power and success to do more of such. :)
Hi! This is actually the second one on this channel. I’ve done a bunch but nothing that I filmed. The last one here was Kratos. LOVE Wed clay. I’ve been addicted to it lately- works great on camera and it’s just so fast 🏃♂️💨
12:00 more like Braid Shadow Legends, am I right? XD Now your TH-cam career is complete. You can't really call it complete unless there is a Raid Shadow Legends sponsored video~! Awesome results as always :3
Great work man! Was wondering - what did you do for the uniform pore detailing? It looks like you used a sponge of some sort but I could only see it for a second
One thing I hadn't considered, how much harder would it be to sculpt with longer fingernails? Would you just use only tools at that point or would there be some unforseen benefits?
I think it would depend on how long before they got in the way- I've never really thought about it but I couldn't see there being any real benefit to it. You really use the pads of your fingers more than anything- generally tools help you to reach areas better but I think even though attached to your finger, you would still have better control with the right tool. I can't stand having long fingernails though lol. I have a nail trimmer that I keep alongside my tools to keep them super short lol.
@@SculptureGeek I was wondering if you keep them short and you already answered that too! But yeah, I always see you using the pads of the fingers quite often which is why I asked. Thank you!
First of all ive seen your work and i am speechless u have definetly inspired me to start sculpting. I just wanted to ask what is the recommended plasteline to use lets say on a mask sculpture? I ordered some nsp hard to try out should i start with something else?
Chavant will work great for a mask- the hard grade is what I like most. The biggest thing is that it’ll take a little longer but you’ll have better control. A lot of folks use Wed clay for masks but it can be tough for beginners. It’s less self supporting and you need to be able to tone things well for detailing etc… Where as Chavant, you can always easily change, pickup where you left off, or throw in some quick detail to help visualize the direction you want to go in. Either will be fine tho. I recommend trying as many materials as you can as you go. Good luck and happy sculpting!
Thank you! Normally, I just put the pieces up as high as I can on a shelf. If it’s important, then it’s best to mold it asap. Unless you either have money for large glass cases, or don’t care about how it looks you can throw a lightweight plastic drop cloth over and that will stop the dust.
Got any tips on skin texture? I am working with Chavant NSP hard. I am doing a female bust. I have been dotting up the skin with a round tipped tool like you did on the riven and cloud videos, dragging for creases etc. I use a tooth brush to smooth it out after. I still feel like it’s not quite right, the balance in to much texture while preserving her smooth skin as well as avoiding the texture being to porous, skins a bit more like paint from a roller. Your skin looks less like dots, should I dab harder, more often etc?
Skin texture can be a pain. It depends a lot on the scale you're working in. I use one or two different sized ball styluses one of them is like the smallest I could find and I use it for almost everything. Keep in mind that pores are directional. They're not normally just round dots. They tend to have a tiny little bit of "drag" You can usually help that by angling the tool as you press. If anything, use a much lighter touch and trust in it. It doesn't take a lot of pressure to texture a surface in clay even in super hard clays or waxes. Layering it is also the way to go- you may have to go back in and punch things up after a pass or two. I would always try not to go too heavy. In fact, I would say I have a pretty light hand and I still struggle not to go too heavy sometimes especially after a long repetitive session where you're tired and the finish line is not quite in sight lol. When in doubt soften things up and do another light pass. These days, I don't really go too hard on texture especially for these TH-cam sculpts. Just a few light layers so that the sculpt isn't totally smooth. Hope that helps!
you love to see it! absolutely LEGENDARY work as always. I am curious, have any of the companies that you did scupting work for asked for the final product? Like I could imagine the raid devs posting this up in the workplace, or sony santimonica studios taking the bust of claytos and putting it in a glass case in the front lobby!
Thank you! Yeah most of them have. I shipped the whole Angry Birds setup to Rovio in Finland from here in the U.S. cost like $1500.00 to ship lol. It was a huge box.
@sculptureGeek amazing as always! As this is water based clay I assume this sculpture would dry out and crack? Do you cast it? prep it for a kiln? Just accept it as temporary? Basically what happens next? Thanks dude!
It will harden, then eventually, most likely crack into pieces. If you want to keep one, you really need to mold it. The clay is very cheap and just air dries tho so it’s good for making youtube videos if you don’t intend to keep the piece.
Either, or- depending on what it is. For this particular sculpt, no plans on molding it. If it cracks in a weird spot, I'll probably recycle what I can from it and toss the rest. Most of the oil based clay sculpts I've filmed, I have on a shelf. Anything I don't film, I usually recycle the clay and use it for something else.
Thank you! I didn't go too crazy with the texture, just a quick pass so it wasn't smooth. Most of the metal tools are made from hardened steel or hardened steel wire. Some have teeth that I put in, and some are smooth.
Thank you! Mostly it's just because I wanted to work larger and faster for a while. I don't plan on molding any of these Wed clay sculpts so they'll just crack and eventually get tossed. I like to jump around here and there with materials as well to not only keep my skills sharp, but because it's just fun. Also, fun to sculpt things lifesize-ish. That said Chavant and Wed are 2 totally different animals. I think Wed is less beginner friendly mostly due to it not being quite as self supportive as Chavant.
Tbh I don't give a flying fuck about Raid, never have and never will. But watching you put this guy together was sick af, and during the course of this video you made me actually give a damn about Raid for a little bit. And you're funny, good editing and good comedic timing. So yeah, you're obviously doing something right 👍
Hi! Wed clay is it's own thing- the name of the company that produces it is Laguna clay. The name stands for Walter Elias Disney and it was developed for Disney for their imagineers to use in the production of films and cartoons. Just search for wed clay (EM-217) by Laguna clay company and you'll get the right stuff :)

Thanks Christian! 💚
Can you PLEASE make a tutorial for water based clay like you have with your oil based clay ones?!?! I would pay top dollar for that!!

Can WED clay be made for kitchen utensils such as plates and glasses used for cutlery?
No, this clay has to be molded once you're finished with the piece. When it dries out, it becomes very brittle and cracks unpredictably. There are things you can do to mitigate the cracking but, you're better off just molding it.

Haha I love ss3 but always wanted to sculpt ss4- actually would love to do Roshi, Buu, or Broly.
@@SculptureGeek the 4’s would look amazing man keep up the great work!👍
toujours aussi incroyable, la seule chose dommage c'est qu'on voudrait avoir plus de vidéos !! :D
Travailler là-dessus, mon ami! Merci d'avoir regardé
First of all ive seen your work and i am speechless u have definetly inspired me to start sculpting. I just wanted to ask what is the recommended plasteline to use lets say on a mask sculpture? I ordered some nsp hard to try out should i start with something else?
Chavant will work great for a mask- the hard grade is what I like most. The biggest thing is that it’ll take a little longer but you’ll have better control. A lot of folks use Wed clay for masks but it can be tough for beginners. It’s less self supporting and you need to be able to tone things well for detailing etc… Where as Chavant, you can always easily change, pickup where you left off, or throw in some quick detail to help visualize the direction you want to go in. Either will be fine tho. I recommend trying as many materials as you can as you go. Good luck and happy sculpting!
Cool! Please make a sculpt of Guts from BERSERK. With a sword or as a black swordsman.
Wicked sculpt as usual! ^^
Off chance Q; Have you found a good way to display/store your work without getting a ton of dust on them?
Thank you! Normally, I just put the pieces up as high as I can on a shelf. If it’s important, then it’s best to mold it asap. Unless you either have money for large glass cases, or don’t care about how it looks you can throw a lightweight plastic drop cloth over and that will stop the dust.
você é um grande artista .
💚💚🙏
Amazing work. How about to make Batfleck next?
That's a good idea, I haven't done any superheroes on here yet. Probably about time I change that! We'll see! Thanks for watching :)
@@SculptureGeek Thanks for the reply. You are the best! Can’t wait to see Batfleck from you and BvS cowl please. 🤞🙏
Got any tips on skin texture? I am working with Chavant NSP hard. I am doing a female bust. I have been dotting up the skin with a round tipped tool like you did on the riven and cloud videos, dragging for creases etc. I use a tooth brush to smooth it out after. I still feel like it’s not quite right, the balance in to much texture while preserving her smooth skin as well as avoiding the texture being to porous, skins a bit more like paint from a roller. Your skin looks less like dots, should I dab harder, more often etc?
Skin texture can be a pain. It depends a lot on the scale you're working in. I use one or two different sized ball styluses one of them is like the smallest I could find and I use it for almost everything. Keep in mind that pores are directional. They're not normally just round dots. They tend to have a tiny little bit of "drag" You can usually help that by angling the tool as you press. If anything, use a much lighter touch and trust in it. It doesn't take a lot of pressure to texture a surface in clay even in super hard clays or waxes. Layering it is also the way to go- you may have to go back in and punch things up after a pass or two. I would always try not to go too heavy. In fact, I would say I have a pretty light hand and I still struggle not to go too heavy sometimes especially after a long repetitive session where you're tired and the finish line is not quite in sight lol. When in doubt soften things up and do another light pass. These days, I don't really go too hard on texture especially for these TH-cam sculpts. Just a few light layers so that the sculpt isn't totally smooth. Hope that helps!
@@SculptureGeek Totally helps, lets me know I am moving in the right direction!
you love to see it! absolutely LEGENDARY work as always.
I am curious, have any of the companies that you did scupting work for asked for the final product? Like I could imagine the raid devs posting this up in the workplace, or sony santimonica studios taking the bust of claytos and putting it in a glass case in the front lobby!
Thank you! Yeah most of them have. I shipped the whole Angry Birds setup to Rovio in Finland from here in the U.S. cost like $1500.00 to ship lol. It was a huge box.
Woah, amazing work
Thank you!
You don't have to clickbait me. I love your videos.
Thanks! It’s a bit of a running joke. I hope people don’t think I mean it 😅 Just having fun and trying not to be too serious.
@sculptureGeek amazing as always! As this is water based clay I assume this sculpture would dry out and crack? Do you cast it? prep it for a kiln? Just accept it as temporary? Basically what happens next? Thanks dude!
It will harden, then eventually, most likely crack into pieces. If you want to keep one, you really need to mold it. The clay is very cheap and just air dries tho so it’s good for making youtube videos if you don’t intend to keep the piece.
@@SculptureGeek thanks for the answer! I had no idea water clay could hold that level of detail.
BADASS!
What do you do with a sculpture after it is done. Do you keep it around or do you break it down?
Either, or- depending on what it is. For this particular sculpt, no plans on molding it. If it cracks in a weird spot, I'll probably recycle what I can from it and toss the rest. Most of the oil based clay sculpts I've filmed, I have on a shelf. Anything I don't film, I usually recycle the clay and use it for something else.
@@SculptureGeek thank you for the reply
Aways amazing videos…. Perfect
Thank you so much 😀
Increíble!!!!!
Man that's insane ur so talented keep it up cant w8 for ur next video
Thanks a ton! It’s in the works 😊🙏
If you ever come out with a line of shirts with the saying “hot butter on breakfast toast” I will be one of your first customers
Очень красивая работа, как долго ты делал этот шедевр?
Спасибо! Это заняло всего около 3 дней со съемками.
Skin texture is sick. What type of wire is that on the tool? Reminds me of kanthal wire from my vaping days.
Thank you! I didn't go too crazy with the texture, just a quick pass so it wasn't smooth. Most of the metal tools are made from hardened steel or hardened steel wire. Some have teeth that I put in, and some are smooth.
Awesome as always man, why made you choose wed clay vs chavant? I assume its depends on what you do with it after the sculpt?
Thank you! Mostly it's just because I wanted to work larger and faster for a while. I don't plan on molding any of these Wed clay sculpts so they'll just crack and eventually get tossed. I like to jump around here and there with materials as well to not only keep my skills sharp, but because it's just fun. Also, fun to sculpt things lifesize-ish. That said Chavant and Wed are 2 totally different animals. I think Wed is less beginner friendly mostly due to it not being quite as self supportive as Chavant.
Good job. Excelent
Thanks Guillermo! Appreciate that! 🙏💚
This looks so dope
Thank you! I had fun with it.
Awesome as always mate! Love it.
Thanks a ton! 🙏💚
Tbh I don't give a flying fuck about Raid, never have and never will. But watching you put this guy together was sick af, and during the course of this video you made me actually give a damn about Raid for a little bit. And you're funny, good editing and good comedic timing. So yeah, you're obviously doing something right 👍
Thanks bro! Same 😂🙏💚
WOW.. just WOW
Thanks for watching 🙏😊
can you sculpt inkling or octoling
This is my favorite channel
Super appreciate that! Thank you 💚🙏
So inspiering. Thanks
Love to hear that! Thank you for watching 😊
Ahh the jazz 🎉
Great work and detailing would be fantastic if scanned for 3d print file ?
Thank you! No idea how to do that but by the time I figured it out, this statue would probably be dried out and cracked into pieces.
@@SculptureGeek yeh been there , wonder if a wood glue solution would help seal it ? Shame you loose it
Hahaha great video! Honestly, really curious about the Afrikaans "20 minutes later"
Muy buen trabajo 👍👍👍👌👌
Thank you! 🙏💚
hello sir, I want to ask, what brand is a good brand of WED clay?
Hi! Wed clay is it's own thing- the name of the company that produces it is Laguna clay. The name stands for Walter Elias Disney and it was developed for Disney for their imagineers to use in the production of films and cartoons. Just search for wed clay (EM-217) by Laguna clay company and you'll get the right stuff :)
Soooo amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for watching! 💚
