    I know this guy personally and I will attest that he is nearly magical in his skill. He can speed sculpt the most amazing characters then produce the most amazing life-like creatures. Truly a gifted artist.

      @@chrisbaker3877 thanks for the info! But as an artist myself, I think it's only fair to pay artists for their expertise and time

      @Mrs.Self.Distruct ปีที่แล้ว +4

      In all seriousness though, and not my somewhat sarcastic take..Greystorm, I realize now that you must not be aware that for one, the person who commented is not only talking about taking advantage of a free trial, but that of an online "school" where artists are paid already when they do workshops, etc.
      There is no taking the smokes out of needy artists mouths, no guilt needed to go for that free trial and another two if need be 😉

    • @joethompson11

    This guy is absolutely incredible. He is super humble and down to earth. Met him a couple times and he’s always a class act. He’s one of the best sculptors alive today. Protect him at all costs!

  • @cliffsmith357
    @cliffsmith357 ปีที่แล้ว +57

    Loved watching him on Making Monsters. Wish they would give him his own show.... but ONLY if every episode he's got 6-8 hours to sculpt before he has to be on a plane. That happened dang near every time and he made the most incredible/amazing/unbelievable (pick your favorite) stuff.

    • @CousinLarrySitsThere

    Jordu is a legend. When I first started out in digital sculpting nearly 20 years ago, his characters were a huge inspiration. I still laugh at the fact that I get paid to create creatures and characters, as it's something I'd otherwise be doing for free, as a deep passion, regardless.

Grew up watching child’s play and a nightmare on elm street and grew up with my dad always dressing up with really cool monster masks. I didn’t make my first professional latex mask til I was 32 and I’m 36 now and plan on making more. Times just been really rough for me lately and would love to show the world my art.
