Thanks for watching! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
this is one of the cooler things ive seen from this channel, would love to see more of akihito
A modern day Giger. He needs to become famous, I tell you.
+LIMIT CYCLE His works are actually heavily influenced by Takayuki Takeya- one of the leading artistic mind of the early Japanese Tokusatsu industry. So I wouldn't say his style is as innovative as Giger.
+Adam Lee Maybe not, but it's still amazing art, man
THANK YOU!!! I'm loving all of these interviews from Monsterpalooza.
That was beautiful. You can really see Frank's enthusiasm which is totally infectious.
The Zombie Boy looks real as shit.
+Shawn “Gun Nerd” Tannehill "i like turtles"
Stuff like this is just absolutely amazing, so much detail and realism
Frank did a pretty good job interviewing him :) You could tell that he was geeking out at all he sculptures XD
Artist talking to another artist. So awesome.
anyone else notice the random guy put his hand on frank's shoulder at 0:19
Thank you for sharing this Artist!!! His work is stunningly beautiful!!!
Awesome show coverage! Thanks for showing some love to the more obscure conventions, especially ones that celebrate such incredible talent and creativity.
Fantastic stuff, thanks for sharing!
The live model piece was absolutely stunning. Beautiful work.
Thank you for asking about his techniques! The way he the brushed in layers of resin on the Fire Skull is really informative.
Mind blowing sculpting !!!
Thanks for sharing
wow this guys sculptures are freaking amazing I would love to have one of these in my room. I love how he mixes the sculpting and the metal together looks great in one piece.
That is truly amazing work.
Those sculptures look fantastic
holy crap! best sculpting/creativity ive ever seen
omg! love his work!!
That makeup job was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen
WOW! Amazing work!
These are great. I vote that you profile more artists like this.
that is some seriously detailed work! good job
Mind blowing art!
WOW! mind blowing!!!
I swear I have no idea how he sculpts so well I can only dream of being half as good. I stumbled upon his work one day on Instagram and fell in love with it immediately!
That was a good interview Frank.
That was fantastic. Thanks, chaps.
That first one gives me a 1982 "The Thing" vibe, I love it!
Good lord this guy does amazing artwork, very inspiring.
Genius work!
This work is beautiful
Holy crap amazing work!
So inspiring!! Great ideas for my Monster Van!
Very cool. He's great!
Mind blowing stuff
This guys is incredible!
Truly talented!
ARTE IMPRESIONANTE !!.
That's awesome stuff.
Awesome to see Keita Amemiya's (Creator of Zeiram, Mirai Ninja, Iria & Garo) influence on other artists. He's one of my favorites ever!
That's impressive!!!
WOW.. He is SO Talented.....
great work
Whoa, that's some great design, would love to see more indepth video on this guys works, if the opportunity rises at some point.
AWESOME!
Wow! ....new definition of Talent. ..I mean you have be gifted...born with this talent...Amazing!
+2007suprasport Oh come on, nobody is born with any specific talent. You're undervaluing him if that's what you think. It takes hard work and passion to achieve this level of skill.
andyfilms na, yeah, I agree I think the talent is just incredible but yeah, no one is born like that. ..you gotta be super passionate about your work, continue to develop and perfect your craft over a life time. Forsure! almost like how professional athletes start while their like 2 yrs old.
awesome!
Nice work, Frank. I'd be nervous as hell interviewing an artist I had that kind of admiration for.
Skeleton dude is just wicked cool.
when was the last time Jamie was in a tested video? I've been following for a couple years now and I've only seen him in older videos.

That make up is insane
Nice!
Absolute genius.
i have been saving up for a boosted board dual plus and i called a retailer near me and they said they heard there is a new board coming out. should i wait to buy the new one or just buy this one?
And he also manages to rule Japan as his day job? Absolutely incredible.
his art is amazing, i want to learn how to paint with layers of resin, i assume it like making the 3d resin koi fish in how you layer everything to create that special translucency and depth
That angel of death in the end, was it his original work for hellboy the golden army?
It was perfect for the movie.
I would love a game with his designs in it
Did you guys get to interview Steve Wang at Monsterpalooza?
When in an interview, and someone asks about your creation, "Did you conceive this whole thing first, or work it out as you go?". ALWAYS say you conceived of it first. Because it makes you look a more creative artist, and your success as an artist is defined by others belief in your creativity!
But it gave me reassurance that my noodly method of farting around till something happens is ok!
So damn cool
Akihito's sculptures are so fuck'n badass!!
His artwork makes me think a lot about Japanese Horror. It also reminds me a lot about video game/movies like Resident Evil, maybe Dead Space, Dark Souls, and Silent Hill type of style. Any others anyone can think of? Also, his artwork is AMAZING!
I love when the skeleton dude is talking, it looks like a legit character of some sorts
@@Valkonnen I-... I can't tell if you're being serious... like no shit Sherlock, bones don't flex but like... yeah I'm done.
Anyone know who does the Conan sculpture shown in the intro? It's only shown for a second but looks amazing!
Wow man that dude is rad
They were all very cool pieces,the zombie was terrific.
I want one of those :(
I wanna know where to find more pics of the green orcish guy.
WOWOWOWOWOWOW
I need the Zombie Boy custom, with the badass Katana too.
The spider with the female face at the beginning is absolutely amazing.This man has a lot of imagination.
Omfggg that makeup job
The sculpture at 2:50, where is that from? The interviewer said "Conjoined," but is that a video game or a movie?
please can you tell me how I can buy the xenomorph sculpture. it's beautiful, iwantneedmusthave. xxx
Zeiram! THAT's what that movie is called!
NICE
which movie was he talking about?
whats the piece at 4:38 called?
That stuff is fucking amazing!!! :O Like... What the hell... I didn't even know people could get this creative with a bunch of clay, paint and Silicone.
With guys like Akihito, i now dub it officially a sin to use CGI for human-scaled monsters in movies.
god damn it the "zombie boy" is so cool, Hollywood would soon hire this guy for sure !
Please do an Adam savage leatherman video
That zombie boy looks mental and his art work is superb,what an artist he truly is.
I'm diggin that raijin monster.
what does norm do while frank talks to people?
so he's a fellow keita amemiya fan? righteous!
he made a plastercaster collection as well/male rockstars
Any one know the name of the movie he says he was inspired by at the beginning.
