The reaper came for him and as punishment Adam trapped the reaper in Clay to forever become a tiny nerdy thing
THE LOORRREEEE!
It all makes sense now
YES.
*Please make Zs'Skayr from Ben 10 !!! That would definitely suit your style !!!*
@@user-qs6ix1qv1gAre you asking the youtuber or the commenter ?
I love how all of the hobby sculpters make jokes and refferences about each other but know there's no malice and just continue the chain of lighthearted jokes.
same. i love how it feels like an actual community
What was the reference? I missed it
I mean, if you want to take revenge, just make a hideous sculpture of them...
@@GerardMenvussa In this vid probs about Boylei Hobby Time and them buying every bottle of "Black 4.0" (Because they do use a lot of it)
Don't jinx it
4:00 I love how you even included the twist of the two bones when you move your arm, good detail
I'm almost more impressed with the sculpt of the skull, a realistic skull is not easy to do! 😊💖🫶
I noticed that to
Death (the Grim Reaper) is probably one of the most comforting things Adam has made on the channel.
*Huh?*
Ello death I like living
Your unabashed and unashamed use of the word "Shaft" is an inspiration.
I’ve heard the phrase “unabashed and unashamed” before. I’m not sure where from.
Especially after specific mention of "just the tip"
Love how you just remade him at a smaller scale instead of doing literally anything else
I'm waiting for the day he makes some SUPER complicated project, something goes wrong, and he just says: "So my solution is....do it all again" and he pulls out another one entirely
@@wabschall waiting for that day
@@wabschall The man-hunting snake pretty much had that happen
@ 6:20 The Grim Reaper holding that skull was actually a really cool looking idea.
“”That's not fair, you know. If we knew when we were going to die, people would lead better lives."
IF PEOPLE KNEW WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO DIE, I THINK THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T LIVE AT ALL.”
I think I'd live a better life, ngl
@@GiraffeManReepI would be living in a constant state of paranoia, which would get worse as my time of dying approaches.
@@J-Amadaeuswhy would you be paranoid? Id understand if it was like you knew you would die but you didn’t know when, but this is saying that you would know when you die
@@supercreativehandlename I’m a naturally anxious person and while I don’t fear death I do fear pain, there are many painful ways to die that I’d rather avoid if possible.
@@J-Amadaeus ah, I understand
as a person who died i can confirm death is just a goofy guy
Hello fellow ghost
So, you where chasing nature but the predator became the prey?
as a guy who died 10 times already that goofy guy is sick of me
@@axo677 confusion is the way of the living
As a person who's died and resussed three times (damn hospitals) I can say Death and I have reached an amicable agreement to go our separate ways. For now. 😼
Adam: “I like to make tiny nerdy things”
Also Adam: let’s make god
God is now confirmed as a tiny nerdy thing.
he was 2 angelical beings in, why not death too?
@@ailu_ros If we count this as being part of a series with the biblically accurate angels then it seems only a fitting conclusion that he try to sculpt a biblically accurate devil and god.
@@pokemon05100 oh! The four horsemen would be awesome too!
@@ailu_ros *_Aww, thank you!_*
I appreciate the dedication to remake all the bones and scythe after creating a not tiny enough nerdy thing.
I kind of expected tiny blue dots in the eye sockets when he turned around in the glamour shots. But I've been on a Discworld binge.
Nothing makes my day better like watching Adam make some shape-shaped shapes. 4:10
Exactly!
Only the best shapes are shape shaped.
Hey I mean, my skull is definitely a shape shaped shape
I love shape
I gave you your 666th like! Enjoy!
Spooky semi skeletons send shivers down your spine
Especially ones that are shapely shaped shapes
Even a Quasimodo - like spine like that ?😅
Definitely a shape shaped shapely! Ain't no skeleton under that cape! He might have been hanging out as Krampus & eating all Santa's cookies?😮
Shrieking skulls will shock your soul seal your doom tonight!
This is one of my favorite pieces that you've sculpted, simple, haunting, but the way that the character interacts with the base, the story the character implies, and the experimentation with the salty spray was all really neat. Keep up the good work!
Wow. The way you made the bony fingies is amazing. I'm always impressed by your craftwork, but this is beyond what I thought could be achieved with clay. You are truly a master craftsman when it comes to clay.
Salt is really gorgeous, you should maybe try a deer or sth corpse semi-trapped in ice with it? Or something from subnautica?
YES SUBNAUTICA
subnautica is a great idea
Reaper leviathan would go hard
i desperately want to see him sculpt a reaper leviathan
“IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER!?” Meme audio won’t stop playing in my head
Same here, when I'm on my deathbed I want the doctors to play "IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER" when I flatline.
Damn it!! I just commented this!!
I absolutely love this one! The base is such a cool idea with his robe causing the water to freeze where it touches. Very neat!
Only thing that would make it cooler is an LED in his chest giving him a spooky, ethereal glow
Honestly the final look for the blade looks like very convincing rust. That saline solution might work for really rusty things like abandoned scrap metal or old cars
I had a lot of respect for Adam, then in my art class we used clay. Now I 100x as much respect for him than I had before, because that shit was impossible. Mad respect adam.
I'd love to see you make a reaper leviathan from subnautica.
Reaper Leviathan would be amazing, but also consider: Ghost Leviathan.
"What the hell is with that one random bit of ice? - oh" 😮😮 Needless to say I understood the second you placed the sculpture.
"I mean, it looks cool, but it seems really weird to have it there in a weirdly lush scene-"
You went through the same feelings as me, then? Man knows his craft!
I was the same! "...why the ROUND piece of ice? And lush green grass.. ?"
I thought it was glass 💀
I really like the idea of Death literally leaving a chill wherever he goes.
As someone who draws a lot of bones, I'm really happy you redid the hands like you did, and always that you make sure to try and be accurate with your bones, instead of just doing the Bad Halloween Decorations approach, even when it means more mork for you,
Bc honestly, if a skeleton came at me and I realised the bones were very obviously wrong, I.... Just wouldn't be as scared, honestly?
And the ice on the water was such a cool idea, I don't think I've ever seen that before, especially not with more than one type of ground being affected! It also distracts you from the thought of "where are the wires" bc the robes touching the ground now look intentional to show the freezing effect instead of a support structure
This might be my favorite. The whole idea of stuff freezing upon contact is awesome and well executed. The overall model is cohesive and beautiful, in its own way
I love this design. It's simple and in line with the typical representation of the grim reaper, but the flowy, deformed mass of fabric that cover its body (or possibly absence of body) makes it appear more ethereal and sinister. The rusty scythe and the base are neat touches too.
Check out the Nighthaunt 👍
I love this one. It is such a nice decision not to make a grim reaper who rots everything around him, but to freeze his surroundings.
Since you mentioned living in Scotland in one of your videos, I wanted to ask if you have ever thought about sculpting some of the creatures of Scottish folklore?
I would say he’s probably too scared of them coming after him, but I’m also pretty sure that he’s God at this point
I’m surprised adam hasn’t made Toothless from HTTYD, or Appa from ATLA or any of the creatures from ATLA, or one of the aliens from the Ben 10 universe. I feel like creating any creature from any of those shows would be an amazing video to watch, especially if he made it “realistic” or a zombie form of one of them. I love the video, I’ve seen pretty much all of them, keep up the great work. I absolutely love your content
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I thought you were making a Cairn Wraith from Warhammer, but you coming to create the same sort of styled model shows how cool this idea is
Exactly what I thought of when I saw it, also reminded me about the wraith I painted at one point
I LOVE how you did the radius and ulna!! When I started the video my first thought was "How's he going to do the lower arm bones with one wound wire?"
That ice on the river was such a good touch
I love how instead of baking it in a normal oven which is perfectly fine to do with any type of clay, he makes a whole new reaper
This reminds me of a joke between a buddy and I growing up. What if the Grim Reaper wasn't scary, but an adorable little character? Would love to see an adorable little tiny nerdy Grim Reaper
Whoa, the frost effect is AWESOME, I'll have to remember that for my builds. Great sculpt!
I feel like I would be worried the salt wouldn't be good for my airbrush, but I guess if it worked for you it should be fine!
I imagine it should be fine, it would slowly dissolve anyway so less clogs
I'd worry that the once the salt is on the sculpture it may hygroscopically dissolve over time unless it can be sealed somehow
Now wants to see the amagalam of too big pieces to a Frankenstein monster that Adam makes... a collection of all the too big pieces over the years.
Death is a actually really good guy when you get to know him
Yess, more art with a "darker" aesthetic from what you normally make. I liked the way this turned out.
Can you make hel sitting on her throne from norse mythology
Edit: hel/hela is the goddess of death, she resides in her relm helheim, she is the daughter of loki and Angrboða, and is described as having half of her face dead(rotting and decaying) or sometimes just the color of dead flesh ,and her other half is living(pink flesh and such), I couldn't find anything on her hair color but I would go with blonde or black if you decide to make her
i honestly imagined her as a ginger lmao
@@ackthegreat6697 I was just going off of how the norse would wash their hair lye soap and how it would bleach it
Edit: and for the reason why I said black for her hair is because she is kind of spooky
@@ackthegreat6697ginger 100%
If you revisit this, please make Mort arguing with Death. Might not be original, but it's an absolute favorite!
When you do these large sculpts, like the Space Marine, and this one. They remind me of an old GW gamesday, where I went and saw the model designers table, and they had the large scale sculpts of the miniatures on display
new on your channel, I appreciate very much the « things » you do and the way you do it, I gradually watch all the videos and I learn a lot about the differents techniques, although there’re some who still a mystery (like how to bake clay in an oven with electric cables for the lamps without those melting, but anyway and sorry for my FrenchEnglish writing). When I was young (above a century) I loved watching Captain Caveman, maybe one day this "hairy character" will inspire you with lots of little nerdy things and teeny tiny teeth. Thanks for your videos an your humor :)
I think this is a pretty unique look to the Reaper. I love the hunched look and the bit of ice where he's floating.
it’s inspired directly by the cairn wraith model from warhammer
@@LucaLeRatt Whether he came up with it or not, I still think its a cool idea. I also think it came out pretty nice.
I’ll try not to take this project personally as it’s only a day or so before my 50th birthday. Also, this might be my favorite of your builds. Fantastic.
Well good luck tomorrow and a happy early birthday!!
It's the 3rd in my timezone, so happy birthday!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 congratulations on 50! I hope your time on this shared rock has been mostly good.
Happy birthday \o/
“*TODAY IM GONNA EAT 2 CORNDOGS*” - Grim Reaper
Hey that's me.
Have you also been dared to play a game with two kids to get a soul of a *REEEAAAALLLYYYYY* old hamster, fail, and be forced to be friends with those two kids?
It’s giving big Nighthaunt energy 👍🏻
I thought it was a nighthaunt conversion for quite some time until I clicked on the video
Cairn wraith by any chance? Thats the first thing I thought of when I saw it
the "alas, poor yorick" had me in tears. i was not expecting it 😂
Awesome job making this Grim Reaper.
This sculpt is absolutely fantastic, and I personally do like the salt on the sythe, as it gives it a more old and decayed appearance.
Amazingly done, honestly quite spooky, adding the touch of the ground and water freezing where its in contact with death was a really nice touch.
6:20 Okay that’s a pretty cool sculpture in an of itself.
It’s crazy how Adam says when sculpting the skull skullduggery,like the book series
Glad you decided to do the Base! Once again, an awsome build!
Kinda looks like Nighthaunt from Warhammer AoS.
The sculpt is absolutely beautiful, although I think the blue painted sections reach too high.
But obviously at the end of the day it's your creation and your time spent so if you like it the way it is that's the most important thing.
Lmao that's my first impression too 😅
Oh no. It's not weird enough!
NO THE UNIVERSE MUST CORRECT ITSELF!
MADE THE GRIMREAPER KIRBY UNDER THE CLOTHES
THE CANONICAL EVENT WAS BROKEN!
*Please make Zs'Skayr from Ben 10 !!! That would definitely suit your style !!!*
THE VERY SEAMS OF REALITY ARE TEARING
This is the most awesome creation you've made so far in my opinion. The process looked so fun and interesting, its so creative, he really looks like he's floating, and its so cool.
I love it ❤❤❤
I think ive been watching you for about 2 or so years and all your creations are fantastic, but I have to say that this one is my favorite!
This turned out super sick! I love the details with the frosty patches and the floating effect works way better than I originally thought, good job!:)
This looks like it should be at the head of an Age of Sigmar Nighthaunt Army.
Kind of looks like a cairn wraith…
If you're looking for a good robe pun, you could've gone with "Making him robe-bust". I am a professional entrePUNeur, only top tier pun suggestions LOL
Stop. Just stop.
No. Keep going.
@@dreadqueen_ Unfortunately, some people have a bone to pick with my puns, but I find them quite humorous. Alas, I shall shoulder on!
Of course a real punster would have gone with "humerus" You can use that one next time!@@LadyNightingGaleofMilvania
@@Simonsimon-fy3hq Nah, I just accidentally misspelled it lol. Typed on my computer, otherwise it would've flagged on my phone app lol
I love how you guys reference each other, I got mega excited the first time Boylei mentioned "wormy dealies"
I usually like the cooler, edgier, and creepier creations, so great that this came out on my birthday! Thanks for the awesome birthday present, Adam
8:43 sounds familiar…
Sans: Ururururururururururur
Gonna take a shot for every time Adam says "Shaft" in this video
Love this sculpt, one of the best for quite awhile!
Idk why but really getting the vibe that you loved making this - something about the continued added details, the trying new techniques etc... You seemed really passionate about this one and it shone through!
you know, i love shape shaped shapes. 10/10
This is awesome, dude! My sister and I are writing a huge series of interconnected books and I've always wanted to sculpt our characters to help flesh them out! Much tiny nerdy love from Florida!
This might be my favorite model you've made. I really like the choice of the blue at the bottom of his robe
I laughed way too hard at "enwoodening", which is now my new favorite word. Lol
Nice extra size Nighthaunt model you've got there.
Cairn wraith?
This is friggin' AWESOME! That "ice" you made is simply perfect. GOD I WANT THIS SCULPT! SO MUCH! You are great!
Can you imagine how the robe would look painted in Musou Black? I would love to see what kind of creative shenanigans you could get up to with that.
I was looking away and distracted when he said, "This time I prebaked my fingers in the oven," and THAT got my attention. I was like, "You WHAT?" before realizing he meant the fingers of the skeleton. The dangers of hearing something said out of context. 😂😂
But we appreciate the longer video. Love the chapter(?) descriptions.
This has a very “Christmas Carol” Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come vibe. Love it
Sets out to make a unique grim reaper, makes the most stereotypical reaper I’ve ever seen. Love it :)
Sir Terry Pratchett made Death quite a loveable creature, you just made him scary again! Fantastic ice effects too!
The hello from Warcraft 2 at the beginning bring some good memories back. 😢
I was hoping someone else would mention it, haha.
8:43
somehow, I feel like that's a reference to something
**Megalovania Intinsifies**
Why do I hear boss music-
hi Adam my name is Augie and I'm also a clay TH-cam and a massive fan just wanted to say thanks and your an inspiration have a awesome day.
Yo, you a fellow kiwi?
Yep
@@Cometoclay nice
Wait is my comment hearted my adam
*by
MORE FROSTY STUFF!!! THE ICY EFFECTS IN THIS PROJECT ARE SO COOL!!
Terry with a cloak? Yessir!
This looks like something I would’ve begged my mom to by me in the comic book store as a kid. It’s so cool
The rust effect of the scythe turned out amazing! Superbly done.
Amazing skull and forearms/hands, my anthropology professors would be as happy as I am. And kudos for using the Hamlet reference right, I've seen too many people use it wrong.
Finally something grim
This scenery reminds me a bit of the Dementor at the Lake from Harry Potter . Great work as always :)
Same!! It reads as a dementor with a sycth to me, but I still love it.
Its crazy how Adam makes it look so easy to make somthing like this
You really outdid yourself with this one: the skull came out incredible, I don't know how you got it so accurate on such a tiny scale. And the base? Amazing, the ice looks perfect
“The Mega Weapon doesn't have the power to destroy, it only has the power to create!”

Ninjago reference, nice
8:44 Sand overtail reference
This was a super cool build! Love the water effects
This is one of my favourite bases I’ve seen you create. I love the ice patch and over all effect
HOLY SHIT THAT'S SOOO COOL
the biggest flex ever; having Jesus Christ as a patreon member
that final touch on the scythe looks totally like oxidized rust, like how it grows it you leave iron in salt water for a while
awesome!
The amount of detail is incredibly incredible
Make the grim reaper pointing at the love angel that killed the person
Terrifyingly awesome
Great as always. I actually love the texture that was added to the scythe. It looked really nice!
god i love painting. you start with a base made with brown wood filler and brown rocks, paint it black and then paint it brown again. and this makes sense and makes things much nicer
