One thing that might add a touch more realism is a clear UV resin for the eyes, and maybe the lips; it gives it a wet look that most paints lack, and sets up quickly. I learned of this trick from watching others, like Catmeleon (?) here on TH-cam, that also creates figures. Your grasp of Anatomy is AMAZING! I will definitely be checking out more of your videos!
Also give the feet just a touch more thickness through the center/ arch. I watched this sculpture and then I looked at my own foot and my husband's, and I thought... just a bit of instep!
absolutely AWESOME! I watched a ton of North of the Border videos and I have no idea how come youtube recommend me your channel so late. glad it eventually did though very talented work, love it!
So happy you made another Hollow Knight sculpture!! Looks incredible! I'm always amazed by your knack for anatomy :) Edit: Also love the addition of the shells!
Awesome job! Also, for metallics like a sword does best with a high gloss black base before the metallic. Since metallics are mostly transparent you get the metallic shine and more realistic look.
As an amateur sculptor myself I just wanted to say that you are a big inspiration to me. Keep up the good work, love the human-hornet concept by the way.
amazing work man btw,i cant thank you enough for giving me the inspiration to make a bloodborne sculpture myself,because although its not at all perfect,its good enough and the process tought me so many things about the clay i use.Cant thank you enough
I always find amazing on how by explaining your process while showcasing your process makes me feel calm and enjoy every second of it. Love your art, and the fact that you're real while doing so. Keep it up and thank you for sharing. It's inspiring (:
The lore you thought of goes hard, but I'd keep the fact that Hornet was trained by Vespa instead of Herra. If Herra's a tyrant queen, she can have Veapa train Hornet while she's busy with ruling. This would create conflict for Hornet in the long run because eventually she'll realize that Vespa was her mother figure this entire time.
I’ve only just discovered your channel recently but I am so amazed and entranced by the grasp you have on anatomy, it’s such a treat to get to see how you build up the body layer by layer and I will definitely be using your videos whenever I need a physical anatomy reference for more dynamic poses. Absolutely incredible!
Love your enthusiasm. You are an awesome creative artist and teacher. Wish I could study with you but I am 96 years old and disabled with little talent.
I love that you mention North of the border. He's one of my favorites. I think that's why you caught my attention. You both talk about the process as you sculpt and add that you know it's not exactly like the character but it's your interpretation of it. There for it's close enough. I love to watch people enjoy their craft as much as I do. Thank you for sharing. Love it.
I just wanted to let you know that I love your channel! The sculptures are incredible, the painting is great, the editing is really good, and the voiceovers are helpful and enjoyable. I have only been watching for a few months, but you have become one of, if not my favorite sculpting channel on TH-cam. Keep up the awesome work :)
please, for the love of god, make more human hollow knight sculptures. everything from the character design to the touches of worldbuilding for this human au to of course the ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL sculptural work is itching my hollow knight fan cortex so perfectly.
Man, I JUST had this happen. I come from model horse customization, and I sculpted with polymer clay thinking that, for some reason, it would behave like plastic, wire, and apoxie. I cut things apart and then had to deal with cracks over and over. Knowing your problems are self created? You are speaking directly to my soul!
As always another banger of a video! And I personally enjoy when you get technical about the sculpting process and materials so I'd actually encourage you to go on more tangents about that lol. Can't wait to see what you've got in store next!
Another possible material to use is cosclay. It retains flexibility after curing it in the oven. It could be something to look into, if it sounds like something you'd want to use
Wow absolutely amazing! The ease in which you create flawless anatomy is just breathtaking. What a stunning piece, and great video…thoroughly enjoyed seeing your process! 🔥 🔥 🔥
This sculpture is amazing and it's so fun to see how you work around design aspect and implement them in this version whilst still adding your own spins on it and this turned out awesome
Fantastic work, really enjoyed the whole process! One thing I though of that might be I teresting would have been to make a second head that has a mask/helmet in the shape of the original characters, like a skull helmet of sorts. Again awesome work =]
As always, its phenomenal. I always love watching your videos. I always get so much in return from all of them. You are a true master my friend. Props to you for all the amazing work you put out
Welcome back good sir! This was amazing. I would love to see you make more anatomy study/sculpt videos in the future as well, especially like the ones shown @ 15:29. The far right one in particular looks absolutely phenomenal!
If you ever decide to expand into another field of artistry I feel like you’d be amazing at voice acting. You have such a relaxed and conversational voiceover style 😊
I'm just sad that I forgot to turn on notifications for your channel and didn't get to see this sooner, looks amazing despite not being the regular HK art style.
The pigtails going up because of the motion was a genius idea!! And I love the lore you made along with it! I also love and admire how you are so honest about your mistakes!!
An extremely insightful video, most enjoyable and very, very informative! Thank You so much for sharing with Us here in tubeland. Looking forward to more soon. Later Oh and very beautiful too !!
I absolutely loved this piece, but the one thought I had was that it could have been interesting to put a Thread Spool in place of the Butt pouch you added. In my mind, it'd make sense for her to use the "Silk" as part of her assassination tools, carrying around the thread as an additional tool, a way to throw her sword and recall it, or maybe even a weapon of its own to choke out someone like a Garrote wire~!
I wouldn't call the neck and shoulder proportions "wrong". I just bought a model pack for gesture drawing and her neck is much, much........much.... longer then what you got going on and she is a real life human. I've also seen quite a few models with wider shoulders then one would expect. Awesome sculpt! Great job!
Art Chong Art ! Could you pls make a Medusa sculpture ? Like the one in the clash of the titans remake ? It would be out of this world with your level of detail and painting skills !!!
Hi Chong, I just want to say that I think you’re too hard on yourself sometimes; you don’t chase trends or anything, you just sculpt what you love, you have a passion for learning, and I think you produce the best sculptures on TH-cam. I’ve watched all of your videos multiple times, and absolutely love hearing the stories you create. Like I said, don’t let the nagging voices in your head get you down, you’re awesome.
AAhhh!!! a new video!!! just in time for my breakfast watching!!! EDIT: OK I just finished it xD Really amazing work! I felt that part when you were removing the cape the first time, aaahhh been there 😭 As per the rest of the sculpt issues, I would have used that epoxy to fix the first time I saw cracks if I wasn't going to put it in the oven again, but I'm just talking outta my ass right now cuz I don't sculpt and have no clue what artists prefer to use 😅 As per the mold, did you think of maybe using silicone putty instead? I use that sometimes to make small molds and it works great, less hassle and it sets in just 15 minutes. Looking forward to your next video!!
Your videos are amazing. Thank you. Watching you remove the cloak gave me so much anxiety. 😂 I love sculpting and pottery! You're videos are clean, entertaining, and easy to understand. Love it. 🥰
such beautiful art, and I appreciate the thorough commentary a lot! Cant afford this month, but bookmarking the patreon for future. Been wanting to try making an anatomical sculpture for ages. Thanks!
ok. ok. Humanizing the HK characters has quickly became something that I did not know I needed. I would love if you did this to more of the HK characters! Maybe the Pale King, or Quirrel!
I am surprised you didn’t give the warrior assassin “Daughter of Hallownest” a mask. Th choice to give Hornet a visible nose and mouth was interesting to watch
When you were trying out the different poses in the beginning I could actually see and hear the fight. I think you adapted her gestures really well! The red eyes make it look a bit like she's infected but I can see why you wanted the pop of colour. This turned out really beautiful!
Awesome concept and execution. You mentioned in another video that you would love to sculpt in color. Unsure whether you can buy it where you live, but FIMO colored clay that needs to be baked in the oven may be what you are looking for. Though, there are also videos on youtube showing people sculpting things from colored clay that seems to air-dry. Maybe that's better for you, but I don't know what that material is called. For sculpting things separately, I would suggest using cling wrap or plastic wrap as clay usually doesn't stick to that. It's a great separator. And to repair broken pieces I would recommend the 2-part Aves Apoxie Sculpt. For metal parts of the sculpt I would recommend the Alclad 2 metalic paints. They give the most realistic metallic look from all the paints I've seen shown on TH-cam. Looking forward to your next creation. And I love how you show your mistakes as well, which many others tend to leave out. It shows people ways to fix those and that even mistakes can help create a better finished piece.
looks great! very interesting project. I think you should have positioned her the other way round though so her jumping back onto the rock would look more natural, right now she looks like she's about to fall backwards on that steep rock with the angle her foot is at.
"Does this look like hornet? Of course not!" I guess, but it captures the essence of Hornet's visual design so well. I'm absolutely enamoured with the result!
This is both intensely satisfying and very cool to watch. You are very skilled, your video editing is nice, your voice is smooth and explanations are very well made. Kudos
Hey! Tip from someone who paints Mini's: You can shade black. You just, kinda have to fudge it. Make the black brighter than your intended final shadow, and add color into it. The Shadows will then add additional contrast to your sculpture's primary colors; whilst also being more visually interesting!
Additionally you can buy Brushable Varnish. So you can put different finishes on different surfaces. Like High Gloss Varnish on the eyes! Or a Satin on the cloak.
This is what I waiting for you, you're not just make the sculpt like the original design, but you improve and reimagine the character into your own expression and style, I like that kind of art, keep it up Art 🙏🙏👍👍💯
I think I speak for everyone when I say: We would love a series of human Hollow Knight sculptures
Pure vessel look insanely handsome in human version. Bro is truly a prince of hallownest
Yes!
You thought wrong nerd
I want to see Marissa and the Three Mantis Lords.
@@drshin9893 You're a nerd if you're here so, that attempt insult holds no wait, lmao.
i need to see the little knight as realistic sculpture
Love the mention of North of the Border! Rocks do make very good rocky texture!
YESSSSSSS
One thing that might add a touch more realism is a clear UV resin for the eyes, and maybe the lips; it gives it a wet look that most paints lack, and sets up quickly. I learned of this trick from watching others, like Catmeleon (?) here on TH-cam, that also creates figures. Your grasp of Anatomy is AMAZING! I will definitely be checking out more of your videos!
I love Catmeleon!
Also give the feet just a touch more thickness through the center/ arch. I watched this sculpture and then I looked at my own foot and my husband's, and I thought... just a bit of instep!
absolutely AWESOME!
I watched a ton of North of the Border videos and I have no idea how come youtube recommend me your channel so late. glad it eventually did though
very talented work, love it!
Sculpture suggestion: The Radiance, I would love to see your take on it
her human version?
So happy you made another Hollow Knight sculpture!! Looks incredible! I'm always amazed by your knack for anatomy :)
Edit: Also love the addition of the shells!
Awesome job!
Also, for metallics like a sword does best with a high gloss black base before the metallic. Since metallics are mostly transparent you get the metallic shine and more realistic look.
I feel like this version of Hornet brings her that much closer to the Dark Souls universe. Great work my friend!
As an amateur sculptor myself I just wanted to say that you are a big inspiration to me. Keep up the good work, love the human-hornet concept by the way.
I cant express how happy i am that my favourite sculpting channel is making another video on my favourite game
I love listening to you describe your thought process and how you address the various problems and challenges that come up.
i really love the circling around an enemy pose. Good job very inspiring!
As an avid North of the Border watcher, I internally screamed "rocky texture!" when you started working on the base.
I'm already waiting for a series with him playing most of the hollow knight characters!😊
amazing work man
btw,i cant thank you enough for giving me the inspiration to make a bloodborne sculpture myself,because although its not at all perfect,its good enough and the process tought me so many things about the clay i use.Cant thank you enough
You always say 'in the interest of not making this longer' but like, I'm so here for the longer. I can't wait to join your Patreon!
I always find amazing on how by explaining your process while showcasing your process makes me feel calm and enjoy every second of it.
Love your art, and the fact that you're real while doing so.
Keep it up and thank you for sharing. It's inspiring (:
I really love seeing the rough anatomy stage in your videos.
Awesome!
The lore you thought of goes hard, but I'd keep the fact that Hornet was trained by Vespa instead of Herra. If Herra's a tyrant queen, she can have Veapa train Hornet while she's busy with ruling. This would create conflict for Hornet in the long run because eventually she'll realize that Vespa was her mother figure this entire time.
random youtube recommendations have been great lately. This sculpture looks so good
I’ve only just discovered your channel recently but I am so amazed and entranced by the grasp you have on anatomy, it’s such a treat to get to see how you build up the body layer by layer and I will definitely be using your videos whenever I need a physical anatomy reference for more dynamic poses.

this sculpt is wonderful. absolutely amazing. i love it. thank you so much for sharing those process videos. what a king
Love your enthusiasm. You are an awesome creative artist and teacher.
Wish I could study with you but I am 96 years old and disabled with little talent.
This sculpture remembered me about Malenia... Imagine mixing the hornet on that!
I love this! Her character design would be great for a character from the Locked Tomb series too.
Knowledge that comes at a cost, even if that cost was just the act of writing it down, is always retained more deeply
The cloths gives me a dishonored vibe and I really enjoy this. Thankyou for sharing it and the whole process with us!
Absolutely flabberghasting talent. INCREDIBLE work, INCREDIBLE craftmanship
Another banger sculpture! can't wait for Silksong as well
I love that you mention North of the border. He's one of my favorites. I think that's why you caught my attention.

Looks pretty freaking awesome to me.
I loved the North the Border callout - It seemed like a crossover episode :D
Thank you for being an isnpiration.
Amazing work as always, Art. Keep up the good work!
6:59 yep... I bet this man has seen things from the fandom HAHAHAHA
Her clothes underneath the cloak and all the buttons reminded me alot of Vergil from DMC5 haha! She came out incredible!
Wow absolutely amazing! The ease in which you create flawless anatomy is just breathtaking. What a stunning piece, and great video…thoroughly enjoyed seeing your process! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Omg finally, my art fix. I love it!!!!!
I am such a big fan of your work man you are my biggest inspiration by far.
This incredible figure deserved a bigger base. But his work is incredible, congratulations!
It looks fantastic ! It reminds me of the fantasy book series Mistborn for some reason
This sculpture is amazing and it's so fun to see how you work around design aspect and implement them in this version whilst still adding your own spins on it and this turned out awesome
beautiful.
It’s always sooo cool, that you let us be part of the whole sculpturing journey ❤❤❤❤ and the result is soooo cool 🫶🫶🫶🫶
Incredible sculpture once again!
That was fucking incredible
It got gajinka’d!
Fantastic work, really enjoyed the whole process! One thing I though of that might be I teresting would have been to make a second head that has a mask/helmet in the shape of the original characters, like a skull helmet of sorts. Again awesome work =]
Beautiful work. Taking a cartoon and making a realistic human is a challenge but you pulled it off. It's easy to see Hornet in the final piece.
As always, its phenomenal. I always love watching your videos. I always get so much in return from all of them. You are a true master my friend. Props to you for all the amazing work you put out
00:47 The figurine in the background turning around gave me the tingles. Lol
I legit squealed when you mentioned North Of The Border!
Would you be up to make something like Adam's man-spider or man-ant? Would be awesome!
This looks amazing! I'm so glad to see your process on each sculpture.
"im going to make the face softer" proceeds to yet again make the exact same chiseled model face....
Welcome back good sir! This was amazing. I would love to see you make more anatomy study/sculpt videos in the future as well, especially like the ones shown @ 15:29. The far right one in particular looks absolutely phenomenal!
If you ever decide to expand into another field of artistry I feel like you’d be amazing at voice acting. You have such a relaxed and conversational voiceover style 😊
My toxic trait is seeing this and think "yeah i can do that, looks easy enough"
kitty litter and wood glue does rock great
I'm just sad that I forgot to turn on notifications for your channel and didn't get to see this sooner, looks amazing despite not being the regular HK art style.

So glad I found your channel! This stuff is amazing!
LOVE YOUR ART keep it up
it does look like hornet, but more to the point it feels like hornet.

I always thought the human versions would wear the masks of the bug counterparts, as a form of protection from the infection
i really do love your vids, i hope you keep on doing them !
