When I was sculpting this on October 2019, the game hasn't been released yet, and there was very few reference about him. So many details are probably wrong, and I did my best using what I had.
"So, what tools do you use to create these highly detailed, accurate, life-like figures ?" "Erm... now let me think,.... a toothpick, a sanding block, and oh yeah ..... a hobby knife".

LOL I did your exact same reaction, same words ... then scrolling through the comments found yours from a previous month, so I deleted my comment, otherwise it looked like a copy / paste. Hilarious moment, dropped jaw for an incredible artist.
Materials: Firm Grey Sculpey, for the head Magic Sculpt, for the body Lacquer thinner, to smooth the surface Styrene, for the rifle. You can buy these on Amazon
As an artist (and generally very curious person), I feel like a lot of the stuff that seemed like magic to me as a kid has been demystified. eXCEPT FOR SCULPTING. HOLY SHIT. WHAT?? THAT'S AMAZING!
I had to rewatch the gun part 5 times.. I still don’t know how you made a perfect looking AR out of scraps of plastic. The sculpture is a whole other level…I don’t even know what to say…. Amazing.
As an artist/ illustrator who also builds military dioramas and does a lot of figure painting and customizing, I've had to sculpt body parts to make custom soldiers, to fit a particular scenario. I KNOW how difficult this is, and how much skill it takes. I have always had the GREATEST RESPECT for the sculptors who produce these miniature masterpieces. This figure is nothing short of a masterpiece and is one of the most accurate depictions of an actual person that I've ever seen. It's hard enough to sculpt a convincing human head, but to capture a likeness like this, is simply breathtaking!! I use already existing hands, heads, weapons and equipment, and sometimes have to sculpt the body and clothing, using brass wire and milliput putty. Capturing convincing folds, pockets, buttons, lapels, collars, etc., in 1/35th scale is very, very tedious. This looks much larger. I'm going to guess around 1/16th scale?? Fantastic job! I subscribed instantly upon seeing this. I never heard of Ebroin's Miniatures before and I'm so glad I came across this. My hat's off to the sculptor. Absolutely beautiful work. This is nothing short of Michelangelo's Pieta!!
I'm not easily impressed... quite the opposite... but those first 3-4 cuts going from what looked like a child playing with clay to suddenly having the definition of a proper head was mind blowing.
Speaking as someone who has trouble sculpting ejection seat cushions, this is god-like - amazing talent you have there, beautiful work. And filming it as well! Thanks for sharing, brilliant stuff.
Masterful! From the sculpture itself, to the music selected, perfect camera angles, to even just clean nails and hands. Truly a benchmark for how to make perfect RUclips videos
At 1:13 in the video, I could recognize Mads' key features. And that is supremely impressive that you can make a figure with the most minimum of details and still capture the face. I don't know of anyone, nor have I ever seen anyone with such ability to recreate it with this likeness in such a short amount of time. Most sculptors I have seen usually take until they have the eyes and wrinkles detailed in, or even later when they start adding hair. This is incredible. You have quite a gift in you.
I paused the video at 9:45 to admire the amazing detail and precise work on the gun and then 3 seconds later you made my jaw drop to my knees. Amazing work!
You are an absolute wizard with that toothpick! The attention to details and features are astounding! I bow before you my lord! / love from north Sweden ❤
I'm legit BLOWN AWAY... ...thiis is the first video I watched about miniature sculptures that RUclips pushed as a Recommendation. I would not have watched it if it wasn't Mads. You got me! xD
@@EbroinSong The Ace of Clay is one of the people I follow for clay sculpes. He started a facebook group and I posted your video there so hopefully you'll be getting a lot more fans soon.
This level of work really makes me feel inspired to try something like this. I have a lot of interest in this kind of stuff but can't seem to afford to pick up on a hobby/interest like this at the moment.
All hail the toothpick!!! Long live the toothpick!!! The toothpick has the power!!! But seriously, when I saw the preview image I totally thought it was a 3d render, amazing level of detail, congrats!!!
I'm not quite sure why this got recommended to me... but i like it! Nice work! The details that went into this, and the fact it looked like Mads Mikkelsen, even before you made the eyes is insane! This is beyond awesome!
I'm a model builder but this guy takes it to the 4th dimension. Well done my friend I wish there were more young people taking up this gift instead of playing games.
The sculptor literally made the character from a game. So they likely played the game as well. Who would have thought it? You can have talents and hobbies, and also like to relax. Maybe even unwind by killing some things, after creating a masterpiece. It’s almost like people are multifaceted!
Ok, what I want to know is what in the hell did the 167 dislikes watch?? because what I just watched was someone create something from nothing, this is a pure work of art. Ebroin thank you for sharing, you are a true artisan.
Man this is art of another level... you did the head "just like that"! I'd need a full day and it would still look like Donald Duck after the Chernobyl blast...
I would love to get a replica of the gun that you made. In that scale, it's so hard to get the intricate details of the weapon, and yet you executed it perfectly. Amazing job 👌The rest of the statue is so well done. I could've never do anything that amazing
Me while sculpting *drops it a few times* *gets dents in the clay that I cant get rid of* *finding stray cat hair or glitter in it* *having to squish the head and restart*
You were gifted a fantastic talent, I'm sure, but there's no way you could have fine tuned it to that degree of excellence without a lot of hard work. You should rightly feel proud. You're next level genius.
Let's see...to do this all I need are the skills of a sculptor, anatomist, artist, mechanical engineer...have the eyes of an eagle, the hands of a surgeon and the patience of Job...oh yeah...clay, super glue, wood, exacto knife, toothpicks....and really clean nails....yeah I got this.
Eu nunca vi um escultor que trabalha com tantos detalhes e se preocupa tanto com a perfeição de suas obras quanto esse aqui. Não me canso de ver a produção desse trabalho e de tantos outras obras perfeitas! Parabéns!
We all knew already that were are a fantastic modeller and sculptor before making this video but here I think you've taken it a step further than before and produced some of the best sculpting I've ever seen - and I've seen a lot! I'm a pretty descent modeller myself but sadly I wasn't gifted with the artistic skills required to sculpt organic objects. My artistic gift was music. You have such a phenomenal talent as a sculptor and you show that with skill you don't need any fancy tools - just a toothpick. ;) I want to say thanks for sharing your amazing work, be it sculpting or correcting wonky scale model ships - they all have the same hallmark of quality! Simply awesome work!!!
I can't believe how petty one must be to dislike a video like this. No matter what one might think of the creator or the product what's shown in this video is simply amazing craftsmanship and art. There's 0 reason, besides jeaulousy, to dislike this.
Whoa. This came up on my feed as a suggestion and just from this video alone I’m subbing. That is amazing. Can’t wait to see what you do next. ::Cough::titanfall 2 pilot ::cough:: 😉
it looks amazing. I would like to know the details of the workflow, such as a list of materials, tools and helping tips. Great work, inspire to do your own art.
For the head, Firm Grey Sculpey. For the body, Magic Sculpt. You can see my workflow on my Sculpting German Soldier or Sculpting bust of Kleber. Head-Skeleton-Body- belts-cloth.. something like that. Thank you for the comment!
Awesome sculpting. You did a great job and openned my eyes to a vast number of techniques that will greatly improve my very limited skills. Keep the videos coming.
When I was sculpting this on October 2019, the game hasn't been released yet, and there was very few reference about him.
So many details are probably wrong, and I did my best using what I had.
That makes this even more impressive, fantastic work
What a mad-lad
Your amazing!
I am beyond impressed at your level of detail...excellent work! On a different note, what's the name of the track that starts at 16:05?
All perfect is looking so extremly nice. You must have little gods in your fingers.
"So, what tools do you use to create these highly detailed, accurate, life-like figures ?"
"Erm... now let me think,.... a toothpick, a sanding block, and oh yeah ..... a hobby knife".
Actually, knowledge is the most important tool.
hey man, a hobbyknife is one of the best, most useful tools I've ever used.
A literal represenation of "is not about the tools, is how you use them".
...a pin vice, a sponge, a paintbrush,...
@@amassasa Indeed.

God dammit, this is just disturbing how quickly this becomes so finely detailed.
Just by using a toothpick!
Is called a time lapse.
I was thinking the same thing.
@@heroesytumbas Yup. Much investment.
Materials:
Firm Grey Sculpey, for the head
Magic Sculpt, for the body
Lacquer thinner, to smooth the surface
Styrene, for the rifle.
You can buy these on Amazon
ok , where can i buy the skills though? :P
@@georgekaladas8381 you can contact Lucifer.... The price may be your soul but its definitely worth it :)
@@virginiaheidotting7823 I've tried that, he said he already had my soul so why should he give me anything. I kind of see his point.
Thanks bro...
what is the toothpick-esque tool he is using?
I can't even guess how many hours of experience account for your skill. Fantastic work!
Thank you for the compliment!
Exactly my thought
@@EbroinSong How long did it take for this sculpture? :o
I just wanted to say this is the best compliment you can give an artist
As an artist (and generally very curious person), I feel like a lot of the stuff that seemed like magic to me as a kid has been demystified. eXCEPT FOR SCULPTING. HOLY SHIT. WHAT?? THAT'S AMAZING!
i wonder if Mads mikkelsen would ever see this and what his thoughts would be, this would be an epic model kit to buy at conventions
I hope he likes it. =)
@@EbroinSong i'm pretty sure it would blow his mind, the likeness is exact and amazing even unpainted
Everyone tag him in the vid if you got twitter: @theofficialmads 👍
Just check Mad's twitter ;)
Mads saw it. His Twitter tweeted this out
2 minutes in and its already starting to look like him.
Those 15 dislikes better have Leonardo Davinci level of skill themselves.. Anyway, great work!
Haters gonna hate bro
Leonardo:why are you doing this to me
Da Vinci or Michelangelo would've appreciated this master piece. Hater are actually jealous.

すごすぎてもはや訳がわからない...動画開始2分の時点でもうすでに似てるって何
爪楊枝が魔法の道具でしかないんだが
作業に迷いが無くて見てて気持ち良いし形を作るのがすごく楽しそう...
上手い人って迷いなく作るからもしかして自分にも出来るんじゃないかって錯覚を起こすよね（幻想）
俺は、サムネ見てキットを塗装するのかと思って動画開いたら、粘度から作っててビビった
全く同じこと思ってました(笑)
爪楊枝ってシーハーするものだと思ってました(笑)
凄いですよね！
僕もサムネ見て市販のキットだと思いました。
やっている事が芸術家と変わらないのにビックリ。
動画を見ていて独り言でスゲー連呼するだけ。
I am a simple guy. I see Mads Mikkelsen, I click it.
Mohammad Fadzil Mad's brother Lars is just as so: wonderful amazing actor
less than 5 minutes into this video and you have a head that looks like Mads... I look at the lump clay and think, I can make an awesome lump of clay!

Brilliant, friend. Love it.
This is insanely good. I yelled at my screen a lot during this. Mostly OMG and variations of that. 👏👏
I'm not easily impressed... quite the opposite... but those first 3-4 cuts going from what looked like a child playing with clay to suddenly having the definition of a proper head was mind blowing.
damn, that's cute though
Same here. You immediately feel like, this is just impossible. Really demoralises you.😂

If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes I would never have believed that this was made by a human hand. Amazing.
The amount of detail on the sculpture is astonishing.
After seeing him play hannibal lecter I cant see him as anything else

That shows great imagination and mental adaptability on your part.
watch Men and Chicken it is very disturbing but laugh out loud funny too :)
@@Bonzulac was there any need for this?
After battling him as Cliff Unger, you won’t see him as anything else.
I just spent a bit over 21 minutes being thoroughly entertained, Your work is unbelievable, thanks for sharing it.

Incredible. Amazing skill and talent. Pleasure to watch. You had his face immediately without the details but with only the shape. Blew me away.
This is awesome bro, Death Stranding has some really well done character design
I agree, I love the character designs from the game.
Is just so pleasurable to watch a master performing his craft.

I lost the words....truly an artist you nailed it 🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖
You really are a master of your craft, mesmerising to watch you create
Thank you again! =)
This is witchcraft. This sculpture is simply fantastic. It is instantly recognisable as Mads Mikkelsen. Outstanding.
I love these God tier videos! Hideo would be proud!
