    This has to be one of my favorite Mutants and stories, if not my favorite. What do you think of him? I loved adding all the extra details to this guy instead of just making him standing in place. The backpack was definitely a process but I'm so glad it worked out because I feel like it adds so much to the character. Like he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders. Really enjoyed making this guy and I can't wait to see what you think!! Thanks for being here ❤

    You should make a mutant called the Player or the Guitarist. He plays a guitar made of bones on the street and he has a hat for donations. If you hear his music, you become tempted to toss a coin in the hat, but if you do, he steals your soul. Then you become his puppet and he will gut you and use your guts for new strings on his guitar (old stringed instruments used to use animal guts for stings)

    Dude! That is Messed Up! It may be a fictional world, but I look at that sculpture and all I can think is "You poor bastard." Very ambitious build and you delivered in spades. I've enjoyed every build I've watched in this series. Never expected a gut punch like this.

  • @bladeshifter16
    @bladeshifter16 9 месяцев назад +56

    I think a mutant called The Zookeeper would be pretty cool. Their whole “gimmick” is that they primarily hunt not humans, but animals, and every time they eat a new species, they can shapeshift into that creature. But every time they do, they lose a bit more of their human form, so they look like a chaotic mishmash of human and various animals. They only attack humans if they are either starving or said human gets between them and their prey.
    Edit: Added the Zookeeper’s threat to humans.

      @MissAllycat88 9 месяцев назад +1

      I had a similar idea for a Zookeeper but a slightly different backstory. When The Entity attacked him his soul melded with those of his beloved animals turning him into an animal/human hybrid

    @warrick1830 9 месяцев назад +19

    There's a sadness to this one, a little more melancholic and wistful. Like he's just there, he doesn't want to be there, not like this. It's lonely and I think that's why it's so tragic.

  • @kellswitch
    @kellswitch 9 месяцев назад +22

    This one is deeply unsettling and I love it. It's not just his age, it's the uncertainty, the possibility that someday.....I have this vague sense that his parents were both upset when he disappeared...but also a bit relieved.... He is absolutely amazing, the amount of detail is phenomenal. Each mutant you make just seems to get better and better.

  • @reginafetty6374

    At the end of the video I noticed you have a sign that says "I DK what 2 put Here" I'm curious if you wouldn't mind putting in a message for one of my favorite Vtuber Ironmouse. It just simply says "DONATE PLASMA." She has an autoimmune disease known as CIVD and she relies on plasma donations for her to be able to have a working immune system. There are many people out there that rely on it and the IDF Foundation helps them. I don't know it's a really cool idea and just something that you can keep in the background. It's up to you I'll keep watching regardless. I love watching you're sculpting videos it's like my ASMR. ❤

  • @snowdaisies
    @snowdaisies 9 месяцев назад +1

    he's definitely my new favorite too!!! so many details!! it really shows how you put so much work and effort into making him :) i especially love how flimsy you made his bicycle look, like it's about to break down but never has and never will. he's very much alive, i can very much see him move and hear him!! he's an amazing piece.
    another great creation! thank you for being the one to inspire me to sculpt and be creative! keep up the good work :))
    and yeah, it's definitely the algorithm messing with you. your videos don't suck!

    My last sculpture I donated to a charity that raised just under a thousand dollars for it.
    It was seven and a half feet tall made of plywood. A Saint Michael Robot.
    When it comes to balance, the base is everything. The more points of contact with the ground or base, the better.
    My choice for the fantastic paperboy's ride would have been a tricycle, to hold the box, barrel, or bag of newspapers. Artists are individuals, therefore, all choices are likewise individual.

    - [00:17] 🎨 Introduction to sculpting video featuring the creation of a new sculpture, the Paper Boy mutant.
    - [02:01] 📰 The Paper Boy, Sylvester, accidentally transformed into a mutant while on his routine paper route, becoming the youngest mutant discovered yet.
    - [03:32] 🚲 Sculpting process begins with making the bike frame, wheels, and detailing using various materials and techniques.
    - [05:58] 📰 Sylvester's encounter with the transformative entity reshapes him into a mutant, altering the course of his existence.
    - [07:30] 🛠 Assembling the bike and adding details like the basket for newspapers and texturing the base.
    - [10:37] 🧑‍🎨 Sculpting Sylvester's body, arms, and legs, utilizing different types of clay to maintain flexibility for posing.
    - [11:50] 🎨 Sylvester's face sculpting process includes adding acne, facial features, and texture for a youthful appearance.
    - [13:03] 🧢 Adding Sylvester's hat and oversized backpack filled with newspapers, contributing to the sculpture's top-heaviness.
    - [16:56] 🔄 Overcoming challenges with balancing the sculpture and attaching the backpack using unconventional methods.
    - [17:35] 🔮 Sylvester's presence is marked by an aura of aloofness and uncertainty, leaving others to wonder about his intentions.
    - [18:11] 🚲 Seek out the paper boy in the Hidden World, endowed with a knack for traversing labyrinths and offering guidance amidst shadows.
    - [20:57] 🖌 Quick blending of colors is preferred in painting, akin to oil paints, without the need for acrylic extenders.
    - [21:03] 🚲 The paper boy's nearby presence is signaled by the gentle rhythm of his squeaky rusted bike, guiding through the Hidden World.
    - [23:18] 📰 Detailing includes rolling up funny little newspapers to stick in the bag, adding authenticity to the paper boy's character.
    - [24:17] 🛠 Using epoxy sculpt strengthens the bike, allowing for the addition of a top-heavy figure with a large backpack.
    - [25:40] 🌿 Adding rolled-up newspapers and plants to the base complements the paper boy's character, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
    - [27:06] 🚴‍♂ Despite challenges, the completion of the paper boy and his bike marks a satisfying and rewarding project, filled with intricate details.

    Nice job making the paperboy, I do wish to make a dollhouse but change it into a mail house & add some items like paper, packages, strings, & envelopes. The news papers are gonna be difficult maybe Toya from My Froggy Stuff could help with that. See you next time Ace.
