The Blackest Black is known as Vanta Black which is so black that it freaks out our color sensors. We know something is there but it's so black that you can see no detail. It kind of creates a paradox in your mind that your brain has a hard time processing. A great example of this is Attack The Block which is a great horror monster movie.

Hullo! Associate of CultureHustle here!! (Small business that makes Black 4.0). In my experience, Black 4.0 works best when applied using a paintbrush in one thick layer, no cutting and no airbrushing. Obviously that wasn’t really an option in this case, and the sculpture is fantastic, but for _maximum_ results, that is what I recommend. The paint works by basically having hundreds of thousands of microscopic ‘probes’ that stick out from the paints surface, once dry, to absorb light and create a matte effect. These tiny projections from the surface work best the taller they are (hence- if a thick coat is applied), so any disturbance of that (aka, water, projection through an airbrush, or a varnish that would absorb into the surface and destroy its light-trapping effect) will be detrimental to its ‘blackness’. However, we are absolutely thrilled with this sculpture and the idea behind it, as the whole ethos of the paint and the business is that the paint is used by artists and sculptors and creative minds for all and any ideas they have. It turned out marvellous, thank you for sharing your experience!
I was going to say the same thing. I haven't used any of the black.0 lines, but I know how they work. The thick single coat and slow drying are required to cause the nanoparticles to raise from the surface so they can gobble up all those photons.
Another thing is strong direct lighting will show the dimensions. Having the back light be more abrasive than any direct lighting will assist greatly in the effect.
Wouldn’t it be a terrifying idea if the closer to the prey/hungrier The Long Shadow got, the face changed, from the baby, to the mask, then the fangs when it’s spotted/allows the prey to see it?
All those extra little details actually paid off really well (on camera) because It looks like just a void until I notice a little hint of the bone structures and it is definitely creepier when I can notice that
Your understanding of the muscular system is so amazingly accurate. Especially considering the odd pose, but still being able to maintain accuracy.. so cool
Faces being able to be switched is pretty incredible. I love how you did the creature's legs being halfway in the ground, it reminds me of scp-106. Very cool piece
That black is pretty darn black. I really like the way it turned out. I actually think its a good thing that its not so black that the whole thing turns into a void because depending on the light and shadow if you look real hard you can see some of the features of the muscles where light is hitting it. However where the shadows hit forms a void where all you see is the silhouette which is really neat and adds to the creepy factor. Very very cool!
they arent that dark in real life. they just mess with the video contrast. believe me, i was thoroughly dissapointed when i got some. its just a little darker then normal black paint.
"I'm working on being less of a perfectionist" that's so important when you dedicate yourself to this, I applaud you. This search for perfection, otherwise useless, is what distances us most from enjoying what we do and doesn't allow us to be satisfied with our results, no matter how good they may be, nor with the idea of celebrating our successes, which often tend to be many. It's an excellent driver towards excellence, it helps us go very far and polish our skills, but over time it's better when we know how to let it go along the way. I celebrate your journey, Art, and I really enjoy seeing your work 👏🏻♥️
I really appreciated this, even if it wasn't directly to me. I've struggled in every area of my life to just enjoy and be grateful, but it feels like I spend the majority of my time being dissatisfied and distant. Thank you for sharing this perspective, it is very helpful :)
This may not help everyone, but something that helped me was redefining "perfection" and recognizing it as an inherently subjective concept. What may be perfect to me may be imperfect to someone else. Perfection has the meaning you give it. It's been so helpful to me to remind myself that my work will always be perfect to someone. It doesn't need to be _my_ perfect, but even if it does, I can choose to let my perfect be whatever I have. It also helps to change the idea of perfection with context. (Ex.: First time? Wobbly lines are perfect for learning.) As a writer, this has changed my life, as silly as it may sound or as poorly as I may be explaining this.
@@TheIncognitive If my comment helped you in any way, then it was meant for you. I'm glad you found some comfort in my words. Personal standards are something I have struggled with my entire life so understanding this is something that has helped me a lot. Being grateful or kind to yourself is a craft in itself, and like any discipline it's difficult to master. Good luck to you.
Black 4.0 I think works best when brushed on, the aerosolizing of the paint probably perturbed and damaged the additives in the paint that give the paint its iconic look to some degree. My guess is it some sort of carbon nano tube, which are well know for being brittle at macroscopic levels.
there is no carbon nano tubes in there, its a matte paint mix. nano tubes need to be grown and applied electrostaticly, thats how velvet black works. its a huge marketing stunt what CultureHustle does.
@@JeronimoStilton14 yup. Basically he wanted to create unusual paints after he found out about Kapur owning vanta black. Then again vanta black wouldnt really make a good artistic product anyway. It is incredibly difficult to apply and fragile and expensive. Now of course some of the claims are... maybe slighly exaggerated for marketing but the stuff is still way darker than most black paints.
I so desperately would love to see you make your version of a necromorph from dead space! Would love to see how you would make that come across with the body horror.
"Trying to be less of a perfectionist" speaks to me a lot, and I know the struggle in your voice as you say it. Doing something not quite as well as you think you have is so frustrating it makes me want to cry sometimes, but it is what it is and we need to accept it.
If it has sheen (light reflection) it's not the blackest black. It would have to absorb everything and send absolutely no light back to your eyes otherwise.
This is so incredibly impactful. the deep black really is something else. The face with the regular teeth is most effective to me because it has a certain normality to it but is so wrong at the same time, which makes it super creepy. I hope I can get the black 4.0 at a local art shop or online. I would love to try it.
i actually really like the level of detail and the time you put in, even if that wont be obvious in the final product. it’s like watching someone make an écorché
I love all of the masks but I think it actually looks best with no mask!! The flat cut off with weird holes in it gives the monster an incomprehensible horror vibe!! Great work!!
A few thoughts on my end. First of all, don't apologize for taking longer on the detail, love it whenever artists take their time to refine their works, makes the end product all the more impressive to look at. Second, it feels kind of funny for you to make something like this since one of my characters in Champions Online is more or less exactly this character, only completely blacked out with red pupils and fangs. And third, looking at the fanged version gives me heavy Nausicaa vibes, almost expected to see little nuclear beams bursting from his mouth at the end like a more demented version of the God Warriors.
I can vouch for 3:35 by saying you spending more time to make it look good no matter what. It’s so satisfying watching people shape with clay and it’s so satisfying to work with. It’s your channel! You do you!!!
Faces are such an interesting concept to show its different phases. I LOVE this so much. I adore the changing face masks, it changes the mood so much. The baby face is my favorite, it’s so unnerving. Amazing job omg
I would just like to say I hope you continue making videos as long as you feel like it. I know you may have been through a lot in life and it's taken its toll on you, but the art you create is breathtaking and you can genuinely feel the connection you have between yourself and the sculptures you make. You are so underrated and are by far one of my favourite artists to watch to unwind. I hope life isn't too harsh on you, as you seem like an amazing, empathetic individual. Please keep being as you are. Thank you for all the content you've created.
RUclips decided to suggest me this video and I ended up watching all of your content. Thank you so much for sharing your creative process, reasoning behind your choices, as well as your mistakes and troubles. It's been a delight watching you grow your skill. Waiting for the next video, whenever it may come up < 3
Watering it down makes it less dark, I would say repaint it with a paintbrush. Near the end, it looks like it is crawling out of the concrete like it’s water with the shadows 18:50
You said that you cut the Black 4.0 with water. And I have to wonder unless, you were using distilled water, if that had something to do with the paint not being as black as you had hoped. There are impurities in the water, unless it was distilled, that will alter the color of the paint once it's dry because those dissolved particles are left behind.
I truly think that it’s just shows your passion as an artist that you spent the time to carefully sculpt all those small details that even with a regular paint job may not be fully noticeable, but especially with this black paint. The fact that you still wanted to make sure those details were there, make sure that it’s something you’re proud of and enjoyed the process of, even if the viewer may not notice those details, just makes you all the more impressive of an artist! Beautiful piece! So glad I found this channel on a late night RUclips deep dive!!
bro im not into sculpting but this popped up in my algorithm. i am into dark horror type art. This is amazing and definitely a piece of artwork i would buy.
This is amazing. Its so wonderful to find the little corners of youtube with genuine, thoughtful, intelligent, and creative people sharing and thinking about their work. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Partway through here, I hear you talking about being “a bad RUclipsr” and a slight tone of “maybe I shouldn’t worry about the details as much” or justifying your choices. Dual observation. You must actually be somewhat confident, as you are still creating and doing a great job, despite these feelings. You’ve overcome your thoughts and mastered an art form. But don’t ever let anyone say you’re a bad RUclipsr. A RUclipsr creates good content. That should always be the standard. And I’m already learning an absolute wealth of information, and enjoying this, and it makes me want to go sculpt. It’s inspiring me to tackle my own projects. So, you are actually a great RUclipsr. You remind me of Thalasso hobbyer. He focuses on details even when it goes completely under-appreciated or unnoticed. That’s the highest comparison I can make, and in my eyes, that makes you one of the greatest. Seriously, well done. This is amazing.
When you said you do more clay just because you like it, i hit subscribe. As someone that posts gaming stuff because it makes ME laugh, I appreciated that.
Wow, the whole process was amazing. Watching you sculpt the muscles was amazing! The whole video was fascinating and I’m not an artist! Beautiful work!
What an amazing project! The way you started with the skeleton, and formed all the muscles and tendons was astonishing, it's really interesting to see how well you understand how muscles stretch and deform in various poses. The final piece reminds me of the SCP-096, really cool. Also, 'Broken Vessel' was a great choice for the reveal, it fit the vibe of the sculpt really well. :)
this is fantastic!! deliciously creepy. love the fanged face. i thought the concrete turned out pretty cool too - makes it feel like he's emerging out of the basement of an abandoned building or something
I just started studying sculpting in school like a year ago(almost) and gosh! I wish I would’ve found this channel earlier because it gives me such a huge boost of creativity and excitement to create something with clay. So thank you very soothing voiced art man! :D
would've been super cool if you went with a sort of drama mask direction with all the faces, but this is extremely creepy and beautiful in its own right. awesome job!!
I'm also a sculptor, although I mostly make fantasy/ LOTR sort of creatures. Honestly I tend to put in details that only I would notice and know the story behind the scene that the sculpt takes place in. Always absolutely amazing work Art Chong! Also most of the time when you get cracks in a polymer clay piece, it's because of trapped air pockets in the clay itself, most of the time you can just poke around the sculpture and see if you can find any spots that "dip down" and then spring back up. You can use something like a needle tool or a sharp blade to "pop" them, you could also just poke a hole into the sculpt until you reach the tinfoil layer, so that any possibly trapped air pockets can escape. Hope this helps.
Your channel inspires me in my deepest levels to do the same. I'm thinking about this for a long time, but your channel gave me the final push. I already ordered sculpting tools previously for other projects, so i just need the clay and the work could start. Thanks from Hungary, mate!!! Waiting for another, wonderful video of yours! Also, a personal note: i really love how you show the try & fail errors of the work you do. That's what makes this channel more educational, than you think, i guess.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a clay sculpture on RUclips that has made me Feel so much. This is unnervingly real and effective, visually, and my brain doesn’t really know what to do with it. It’s surreal. I absolutely love it!!!
Do you think the reason the black paint on the body wasn’t like the paint in the mouth and eyes of the mask face because you watered it down? Because to apply the paint on the mask you used the actual paint and it looked like expected but in the body you watered it down and used an airbrush so maybe you watering it down made some sort of difference? Anyways, aside from that, this is quite the horrifying and spine-chilling sculpture. It looks incredible!
When you said you liked adding all the details even if it's a "waste of time" all I can think of is the fact that art should not just be about the end product or display but the joy of creating in and of itself. It shouldn't be a chore. So if anything makes it more enjoyable, do it!
Heres my little story/idea for this monster that I came up with (im not very good at writing lol) : The masked things used to be a normal humans. All of them had their own issues and trauma. One day, they find a strange blank white mask. They pick it up curiously, and began to hear the masks voice in their mind "I can make all your wishes come true" it says "I can give you what you desire... all you have to do is put me on" Entranced by the masks promises they all put them on. As soon as they put on the mask their bodies distort. Their arms and fingers elongate, along with their torsos and legs. Their body isnt the only thing that changes, their minds become twisted and they are now just a shadow of their former selves. Here is the more individual stories for each mask/monster The baby- Was a young man with abusive parents. Because of his parents, he never really got to experience a happy childhood. So when he found the mask he asked to be able to relive his childhood. The mask changes his mind and he sees all the humans as childrens toys. He plays with them like toys too. Im on a time crunch writing this right now, and dont have time to write the stories for the others. Sorry! I might come back and edit this later though Side note: the sculpture is really cool, and thank you for giving me inspiration!
Please, never again say it makes you a “bad RUclipsr” because you focus on detail and don’t just push out shitty videos. Mediocrity and greed are destroying everything.
The black genuinely makes it looks like something is supposed to be there but isn't there, I don't know if that makes sense or not but if it does please tell me if you see it too
Faces are dope, love the shadow effect and the whole thing is amazing! I would love to display it that's how cool it is. My fav face is for sure the gangly tooth one. Great job and build!
Faces are so creepy and well-done! The body is the stuff of nightmares, too. And, to be honest, I quite like that black ripple effect suggesting it emerges from the ground like water. It really sells the otherworldly aspect that you were going for!
Honestly, watched this from start to finish i found myself amazed. As an artist, after watching this i feel like sculpting is just drawing but in 3D, and im speechless. Seeing you put so much detail and effort into such little things, things that probably wouldn’t even matter in the final cut, was just so…fresh. The fact you’d go out of your way to enjoy the process even if it came at the cost of speed was something i could really feel for. since i tend to do the same and value it a lot.
this is really really sick dude and im so refreshed to finally see someone who knows what their doing using this stuff cus most of the TikTok's vie seen that use this paint just slap it onto some glossy piece of plastic giving the paint basically no chance to cover properly
When I watch videos like these, I like to keep switching back to the thumbnail of the finished product from time to time to see how it came to that point
the black shading actually feels so strong and otherworldly. it really makes it seem like the unknown
It's the new n-word pass
The Blackest Black is known as Vanta Black which is so black that it freaks out our color sensors. We know something is there but it's so black that you can see no detail. It kind of creates a paradox in your mind that your brain has a hard time processing. A great example of this is Attack The Block which is a great horror monster movie. This guy below gives a great analysis of the monster if you have or don't care to watch the movie.

@@CardboardRaider Apparently my comment went into the ether
It does! So many people have described "somehow blacker than the blackness around it" and here we see that effect! Great work Sir.
Hullo! Associate of CultureHustle here!! (Small business that makes Black 4.0). In my experience, Black 4.0 works best when applied using a paintbrush in one thick layer, no cutting and no airbrushing. Obviously that wasn’t really an option in this case, and the sculpture is fantastic, but for _maximum_ results, that is what I recommend. The paint works by basically having hundreds of thousands of microscopic ‘probes’ that stick out from the paints surface, once dry, to absorb light and create a matte effect. These tiny projections from the surface work best the taller they are (hence- if a thick coat is applied), so any disturbance of that (aka, water, projection through an airbrush, or a varnish that would absorb into the surface and destroy its light-trapping effect) will be detrimental to its ‘blackness’.
However, we are absolutely thrilled with this sculpture and the idea behind it, as the whole ethos of the paint and the business is that the paint is used by artists and sculptors and creative minds for all and any ideas they have.

So kinda like paint velvet? Cool 😎
up!
I was going to say the same thing. I haven't used any of the black.0 lines, but I know how they work. The thick single coat and slow drying are required to cause the nanoparticles to raise from the surface so they can gobble up all those photons.
Hope he sees this, would be good for him to know.
Another thing is strong direct lighting will show the dimensions. Having the back light be more abrasive than any direct lighting will assist greatly in the effect.

When you said you do more clay just because you like it, i hit subscribe. As someone that posts gaming stuff because it makes ME laugh, I appreciated that.
Wow, the whole process was amazing. Watching you sculpt the muscles was amazing! The whole video was fascinating and I’m not an artist! Beautiful work!
You the right RUclipser. Spending time and showing us quality and good results. Encouraging people to do art and not content.
I like the first and baby face, but will agree the fanged one is more dynamic and striking for display
What an amazing project! The way you started with the skeleton, and formed all the muscles and tendons was astonishing, it's really interesting to see how well you understand how muscles stretch and deform in various poses. The final piece reminds me of the SCP-096, really cool. Also, 'Broken Vessel' was a great choice for the reveal, it fit the vibe of the sculpt really well. :)
this is fantastic!! deliciously creepy. love the fanged face.
i thought the concrete turned out pretty cool too - makes it feel like he's emerging out of the basement of an abandoned building or something
The blackest black is probably the coldest name for a heavy metal band I've ever heard🤘💀
I just started studying sculpting in school like a year ago(almost) and gosh! I wish I would’ve found this channel earlier because it gives me such a huge boost of creativity and excitement to create something with clay. So thank you very soothing voiced art man! :D
would've been super cool if you went with a sort of drama mask direction with all the faces, but this is extremely creepy and beautiful in its own right. awesome job!!
I'm also a sculptor, although I mostly make fantasy/ LOTR sort of creatures. Honestly I tend to put in details that only I would notice and know the story behind the scene that the sculpt takes place in. Always absolutely amazing work Art Chong!
Also most of the time when you get cracks in a polymer clay piece, it's because of trapped air pockets in the clay itself, most of the time you can just poke around the sculpture and see if you can find any spots that "dip down" and then spring back up. You can use something like a needle tool or a sharp blade to "pop" them, you could also just poke a hole into the sculpt until you reach the tinfoil layer, so that any possibly trapped air pockets can escape.
Hope this helps.
Your channel inspires me in my deepest levels to do the same. I'm thinking about this for a long time, but your channel gave me the final push. I already ordered sculpting tools previously for other projects, so i just need the clay and the work could start.
Thanks from Hungary, mate!!! Waiting for another, wonderful video of yours!
Also, a personal note: i really love how you show the try & fail errors of the work you do. That's what makes this channel more educational, than you think, i guess.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a clay sculpture on RUclips that has made me Feel so much. This is unnervingly real and effective, visually, and my brain doesn’t really know what to do with it. It’s surreal. I absolutely love it!!!
The stair idea was cool. Imagine being home and looking down the stairs to see that peeking up at you?
Your videos are always a treat! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, process and awesome sculptures!
Do you think the reason the black paint on the body wasn’t like the paint in the mouth and eyes of the mask face because you watered it down? Because to apply the paint on the mask you used the actual paint and it looked like expected but in the body you watered it down and used an airbrush so maybe you watering it down made some sort of difference? Anyways, aside from that, this is quite the horrifying and spine-chilling sculpture. It looks incredible!
The Hollow Knight music fits very well
When you said you liked adding all the details even if it's a "waste of time" all I can think of is the fact that art should not just be about the end product or display but the joy of creating in and of itself. It shouldn't be a chore. So if anything makes it more enjoyable, do it!
#1 dark souls enemy I never want to see, looks amazing!
Heres my little story/idea for this monster that I came up with (im not very good at writing lol) :
The masked things used to be a normal humans. All of them had their own issues and trauma. One day, they find a strange blank white mask. They pick it up curiously, and began to hear the masks voice in their mind "I can make all your wishes come true" it says "I can give you what you desire... all you have to do is put me on" Entranced by the masks promises they all put them on. As soon as they put on the mask their bodies distort. Their arms and fingers elongate, along with their torsos and legs. Their body isnt the only thing that changes, their minds become twisted and they are now just a shadow of their former selves.
Here is the more individual stories for each mask/monster
The baby- Was a young man with abusive parents. Because of his parents, he never really got to experience a happy childhood. So when he found the mask he asked to be able to relive his childhood. The mask changes his mind and he sees all the humans as childrens toys. He plays with them like toys too.
Im on a time crunch writing this right now, and dont have time to write the stories for the others. Sorry! I might come back and edit this later though
Side note: the sculpture is really cool, and thank you for giving me inspiration!
Wow its so good,why Doesn't it have more likes?
This looks exactly like an elder mimic from vita carnis
Please, never again say it makes you a “bad RUclipsr” because you focus on detail and don’t just push out shitty videos. Mediocrity and greed are destroying everything.
The comment I was looking for when he said that.
we need someone to make this character some lore and turn him into a whole elaborate horror series.
Your passion for the art is compelling and is worth waiting to see. Your creativity is inspiring. Wonderful video!!!
Elder mimic from vita carnis
I was just thinking he would make a great one of those
Exactly!
P O O T I S
0:38 missed a trick there, thought you were going to say you were going make the greyest grey.
The black genuinely makes it looks like something is supposed to be there but isn't there, I don't know if that makes sense or not but if it does please tell me if you see it too
This is really amazing work! I love ALL of the faces and I think that’s the blackest black I’ve ever seen. It feels like a huge void.
Faces. That was super wicked, you're so talented
Faces that are interchangeable, hella neat!
Cops hate it
HAHAHA GET IT CAUSE IT'S BLACK. IT'S A RACE JOKE HAHAHAHAHA
Nahhh
Crazy
GET OUT!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Ok, screw you for that.
so you're the sleep paralysis demon spawner
Hhahahhhahahaha HELP ME
loved watching you paint! gorgeous colours, and it was neat to see how the black applied with different tools :)
holy hell that's terrifying, I LOVE this. Very very well done, you are a remarkably talented artist. Thank you for sharing your passion with us
0:04 don’t ask about whats in the background
…
POV the thing that follows u when u turn off ur lights
5:52 That thing looked waaaay more terrifying there before the teeth
Faces are dope, love the shadow effect and the whole thing is amazing! I would love to display it that's how cool it is. My fav face is for sure the gangly tooth one. Great job and build!
Faces are so creepy and well-done! The body is the stuff of nightmares, too. And, to be honest, I quite like that black ripple effect suggesting it emerges from the ground like water. It really sells the otherworldly aspect that you were going for!
I feel lik im watching how to make a scp
You should submit this to SCP
Honestly, watched this from start to finish i found myself amazed. As an artist, after watching this i feel like sculpting is just drawing but in 3D, and im speechless. Seeing you put so much detail and effort into such little things, things that probably wouldn’t even matter in the final cut, was just so…fresh. The fact you’d go out of your way to enjoy the process even if it came at the cost of speed was something i could really feel for. since i tend to do the same and value it a lot.
this is really really sick dude and im so refreshed to finally see someone who knows what their doing using this stuff cus most of the TikTok's vie seen that use this paint just slap it onto some glossy piece of plastic giving the paint basically no chance to cover properly
2:53 balls😮
THE MIMIC!!
13:38 redbull give wing
It reminds me of the Elder Vita Mimic from the Vita Carnis Series
When I watch videos like these, I like to keep switching back to the thumbnail of the finished product from time to time to see how it came to that point
elder mimic fr
Wait a minute, that isnt the elder mimic???
Why is nobody talking about the background
I saw that to XD
The BV Music at the end jumpscared me😂
I found this after watching Darian Quilloy's newest video about the elder mimic and wow, I hate (love) this.
Elder mimic ahh
0:04 don't look at the male statue
you are 12 years old
@@MistKingHazo I'm not :)
It’s an anatomy figure, it’s gonna have one
Mini dong💀
@@FalltoCrimiez that's crazy💀💀💀
I love the fanged monster face, but the long face is absolutely horrifying! I got chills from it.
North of the border level craftsmanship right here
I'm in awe of your detailed musculature of this man/monster. We can see the love you express in each sinew of him.
Having a monster who masquerades as different things is actually a terrifying movie concept
