Bill's like that one friend at school who always goes "oh I'm really not great at this" and gets a B on the project lmao
Would be more relateable if the friend got an A
Lol a B does mean that they're not good at it
To be honest i hate my artwork but people always say it's great........i still gonna hate it though.
@@theghostlyfigure9989 did anyone ask??? Lol
@@pfwunco8637 ...nope but i just wanted to say it anyway.
Really cool, funniest part bill and the blow torch
I just get so excited about fire...
@@punishedprops Burn baby, burn!
After watching like all videos on youtube finally someone explaines the Butane Torch and what to do and what its for, thank you very much for sharing your insight! Great help!
Bill's bone mask turn into super hero mask 😂
bone mask
I thought it was going to look like a bad ass skull mask😂
His definitely looks like Batman to me (before the crack) lol
The intro is basically everyone else in 2019 vs me at this point
This is a really interesting insight into different types of artists I think. Nick seems like the type that has fun but takes his work super seriously and in certain types of people this personality can be less adaptable where Bill seems to be in it for the fun 😂. They're both awesome masks
Draw with Jazza
Why
@@psycho_panda-1806 I think they're saying that Draw With Jazza brought them here b/c he did a thing w/ monster clay so they probably looked for it on RUclips after that.
Domino Rakentaja wtf you read my mind
Can confirm
YYEEEEEP. I came from him XD
If you are able to take an anatomy and physiology class somewhere, DO IT! It helps so much with retention of proportion and locations of major muscle and bones in the body. Comparative anatomy for animals (real of fantastical) just stretches those locations and proportions. Taxidermy is another great skill transfer. Keep at it Bill!!!
Thanks so much!
Everything in this video is inspiring and the way you make things gets better and better amazing job
Thanks so much! We're so glad you enjoyed the video :)
Dentist tools are also good for sculpting clay with, and callipers for symmetry 🙂
@16:58 that’s fimo sculpting tool there extremely expensive compared to other tools.
Great tips!
Awesome video! Lots of cool info and new mediums to play with!
We're so glad you like it!
Media, not mediums.
So glad I found this vid! have been working with MC for over a year making my own masks..I love it and this vid is EPIC! Thanks again!
Thank YOU fr watching, so glad you enjoyed the video!
Didn't expect to see something from labyrinth. Love that movie.
so ... Monster clay can be re-used after molding ? I mean you don't really bake it like a normal clay and it's not really drying so ... when you've finished your mold you can juste destory your piece, keep the clay and using it again on another project ? Right ?
That is correct! Since it's waxed based it will never dry out, only harden a bit. You can reheat it and get it back to a working or even completely liquid state, make something again, and destroy/reuse it again!
Yep! I've known guys who've had the same clay for over 15 years.
I do recommend covering any sculpt with a trash bag when you're not working on it. it helps keep the pet hair out!
When all done with a sculpt I put all the caly into a crockpot on low then let it get to a liquid state and filter it through a wire strainer. This will help you filter out any stuff like silicone, plasti paste, fiberglass resin, or pet hair. Then I pour the liquid clay into different containers like silicone meatloaf, brownie trays and wrap the cooled clay in aluminum foil. that way i have a variety of chunks of clay ready for for all kinds of projects.
"I'm just gonna crank this up.. to 11" hahaha! Thanks for sharing these Tips and Tricks Guys!
This channel is more useful than my uni classes ❤ thanks
We're so glad you find our videos helpful! Thanks so much for watching
Just marathoned your videos and you made me realize I've been trying to make my sculpt material do the paint job too which has been slowing me down considerably. *Thank you* ....I might actually be able to start finishing things again 😅
Hey you're welcome! It's easy to get a little too focused on the final vision and forget what each step and material can do for us. Have fun!
I can relate to Bill to much honestly. Nick reminds me of my Gf
Rakes and ball tools are life ^^
You speak true truths.
Dude that’s coooool. I so want a skull mask
Love me some monster clay I do all my projects with monster clay it’s great especially if your doing a full mask that may take a few days you don’t have to worry about it drying out from the air or cracking since it’s oil based
Awesome vid, can't wait for the next one.
*Project on fire* "yeah, I'm done", mood
Cool! So keen on a make for the clay warmer!!! PLEASE!!!!
You'll have to ask my buddy Nick about that one!
Sooooooo awesome!!! Thank you for this. very inspiring and appreciate the trade secrets in these videos. I've been making my "deadguy" masks out of thermoplastic, and was wanting to learn to make better versions. I really appreciate the knowledge passed down and product info. Now, to the workbench! (video aired on me birthday..btw)
Splendid! You're very welcome. =)
Your small skit in the middle was literally me
Actually quite a few people (especially those near forests or highways) have collections of skulls and other bones. In America, quite a few are coyotes and small mammals, but hunters obviously can get their hands on things like deer and bear more easily.
Not only are they great resources for anatomy and science, but the physical pieces can also be sources for aesthetic and inspiration.
Absolutely!
This is amazing!
Keep up the good work/art
I made a guitar string tube tool too. I didn’t know that that was a thing
Any toturial about Styrofoam head bust and removal and what clay to use..thank you for the response
Another OMG to this one
Ha, glad you like the masks!
The mask on the left looks like a combination of DJ Starscreams mask mic Thompson’s mask and Jim roots mask in .5
Someone please tell me that I'm not the only one who thinks Bill's mask reminds them of an old mask worn by Kane of the WWE. Looks good.
Any tool can be a sculpting tool. My first tools were a butter knife, pen caps, pieces of wire coat hanger, Q-Tips, and popcycle sticks.
Absolutely! It's about finding what works for you!
@@punishedprops sometimes I break out a butter knife lol
I covered my ed head with fiberglass resin or xtc-3d, often you find your sculpting tools can dig into the ed head.
Great idea!
Where can I get a stone sculpting form like yours? I'm looking for a half-head I can sculpt on, and put in the oven to support oven-bake clay.
The cat paw 😂❤️
😆
Why the cat paw made me laugh so hard.....
UN EX PE CT ED😂🤦
Haha I love the intro
Holy crap dude that is metric poop ton of awesome!!!
Thanks so much! It was ridiculously fun.
Ere, I wonder if some tools that are used in acrylic nail making would be useful ?
Great vid, thanks.
Lv xo
Damnit Bill. I don't have room for all these materials! And yet..
Okay, I'm convinced. Don't let Bill play with a blow torch or fire haha
IDEA: I was wanting to make a big cardboard bulls head mask, the type of mask you find in Mexican carnival. (OVERSIZED CARDBOARD HEAD) Do you have any ideas, suggestions, or videos on the subject? Like building a frame so it doesn't fall off your head & shoulders. :)
Check out fursuit builds! You won't need to do all the fabric but they do an amazing job creating unique shapes and support structures :)
Monster clay looks so fun but I can't make moulds of stuff yet (because I'm only a child who doesn't have her own studio/work room, just a messy bedroom 😂), so I guess I'll wait a couple of years and stick to polymer clay... Or just practise with monster clay untill I can get mould-making things 👌.
Polymer clay is great, too! Ace of Clay makes super awesome sculptures with it: ruclips.net/channel/UCQ23sZIROxm_bCRnZpUc-Ywvideos That's something we want to try in the future, too.
Is it possible to use a regular foam wig head or something similar to sculpt onto? Or would that definitly stick to the styrofoam while pulling the sculpt off..? Maybe there is something I could seal the styrofoam with so the clay and mold will come off?
The styrofoam material should be fine! The problem is a lot of those heads are pretty small, so make sure yours will work for your head size.
put the staples in and take them off so that you can put real ones on the final object
That's certainly an option for you if you want to put the effort in! Bill decided to have the staples be part of the mold so that nothing would come through on the inside of the mask to cause discomfort. It's also going to be much simpler to reproduce the masks without having to manually add staples every time one is cast.
I didn't see a way to have more nick in my life, maybe the molding videos could include his company instagram?
All of Nick's social links are listed in the description of the video.
It's so funny, I just started making a mask in a very similar way yesterday!
That's great! =D
Would a hair dryer work for heating it to a workable state mid project if you don't have a heat gun?
Yeah, a hair dryer should get hot enough to soften the clay.
Really interesting to see! I just made my own dragon bust out of air hardening clay, not monster clay, but similar enough. A fun challenge, even if it was a little time consuming. And you gotta watch out for cracks... the worst part is coming back to it to keep it moistened.
That's why I much prefer oil based clay.
Was the warming box a custom box or a prefab item? What was used for insulation? Rough dimensions? Im interested in picking up/making something like it.
What kind of apprentiship do you have to make to be able to do this as a full time job?
We didn't undergo any apprenticeships, we just figured it out on our own! Check out this podcast episode to learn about our journey starting our own business: punishedprops.com/2018/09/21/life-before/ and check out how we recommend nnew makers get started: punishedprops.com/new-maker/
Hope this helps!
@@punishedprops are you able to make a living selling props and masks and all this stuff or do you need supplemental income like teaching or RUclips? I would love to make this kinda stuff full time but I really just wanna do the art stuff.. I'm not much of a people person lol
@@punishedprops thank you very much for the info! I'll look into it. Didnt get any notification for an answer to that :/
will you guys make a custom mask? if so how much?
There are so many things that are very helpful but the main thing i want to know how you guys did is how you kept from laughing during your bits 19:04
I'm no one but... I gotta ask why didn't u go deeper with the noses interior, that would b hollow. It appears 2 b plenty of room. As well as, why it seems so vertical, when it seems that all outside ridges on skull noses r angled, including human. Once again thou, I'm just nobody but, a curious maker of things.
Was that first mask in intro was corvos mask from dishonored??
Nailed it! www.modulusprops.com/work/
I wish the mechanical one was less symmetrical in the temples
hahaha, how did you managed to light the sculpt on fire?
I was actually excited to watch this because I was curious about clay sculpting. I have a plaster face mold and feel like I don't use it enough.
Nick seems fantastically talented with the medium too.
I like all the augmented pieces. looks so cool *o*
Ok, bill I gotta finish my raider armor for youma. Stop distracting me! (also thank you for curing the boredom!)
14:40 me on every punish props video
Hey I saw destiny on the beginning nice
Bill's kinda reminds me of Handsom Jack's mask
What type of clay can be used if monster clay isn't available?
Chavant. Jmac. Van Aiken. Sculpy even. But it's a lot different.
I thought about getting the “Ed Head” but felt the dimensions to be a bit too small. I am very interested to see if how the cast turns out!
my ed head was to small for my head! however I got a face casting done then filled the mold with warm clay then slapped it on the ed head and filled in the rest with more clay till i had a close copy of my head. then i molded and casted that. now i can make my own heads for sculpting, or foam ones for storing masks.
I was afraid of that. Too bad. I’m glad you managed to rig up something that works better for you though! I have a half head cast made when I was in school. I also hacked a male wig form I got at hobby lobby to better match my head dimensions but it’s foam. I’m thinking of fiberglassing it to make it more durable.
Can you guys make a mask with a separate spring loaded hinged mandible?
Ex. Rawhead Rex.
We likely won't any time soon, but you could absolutely do so using this same method and using a bit of elastic to attach the jaw piece to the upper piece.
For some reason, your website doesn't seem to be working atm, it might be bc I'm in England, but theoretically it shouldn't make a difference
Edit: it works again, idk why that happened, might have been from bad internet connection, but only that website stopped working
Hey sorry about that! We've been having a few website issues here and there as we work on stuff. Thanks for being patient with us!
Do you think that the ed head is big enough?
I believe it's designed to be an average human head size.
Quick question, is there a way to make this clay permanent? (Like can you get it at a permanently solid state?)
With other kinds of clay you can bake it or let it air dry and it will not be workable again. Monster clay is designed for mold making like you see in this video and will never fully harden or dry. It's really excellent for long term sculpting projects, like full body applications that you see in the film industry!
Punished Props Academy thank you, I find that very helpful. I’m looking for clay that is easy to use that I can make latex figured off of so I was just curious if I would be able to make a permanent mold. However I’m sure it’ll still work as long as I remember to use enough setting powder
Top quality video, thanks :)
On a side node, it does look like clay we have here but more like wax ^_^
Human skulls are not symmetrical so need to waste time trying to make it so. And you don’t need to “scratch” the surface for additional clay to stick to it. Warm clay will bite into the sculpt and stick with no problem after it cools.
Oh yeah yeah
Are these comfortable to wear? Wanting to make a Iamwildcat pig mask for a cosplay but wondering what they are like to wear
What material is your life cast made of? I can't seem to find the video for yours (and I really need to go to bed right now).
cant u make a heated head for when u sculpt?
Does anyone know the best way to keep your original sculpt so you can do many masks. I know the silicone molds don't last too long and the original clay may get damaged. How can I save the same sculpt for many masks over time
You can make your sculpt out of something other than Monster Clay. Apoxie can be a good option if you want something sturdy that will last a while. Silicone molds can last a pretty decent amount of time if you take care of them though
@@punishedprops do you think I can do a resin cast after molding and use that for future use too. Like a full resin cast filling the whole mold so I have something to have as backup. And I've been considering the apoxie route.
Is Monster Clay reusable? Can't wait to see video of these being molded and cast :)
Yes it is! It's wax-based, so it won't ever dry out. It'll harden when cool (much like candle wax) and can be reheated and softened to be reused.
So I’m just starting with sculpting/drawing different things, any tips to get better or make it look realistic?
I’ve been drawing eyes for a while and I’ve gotten really good with them, but I am unfamiliar with pretty much all sculpting, and drawing different body types. Mostly I draw disproportionately and it just looks odd.
It just takes practice. Drawing and sculpting from life will be your best teacher! Practice drawing or sculpting what you see, a little bit every day, and you will improve.
Ok, I will thanks!
Do you think you could use these basic techniques for a batman mask?
Definitely!

Me vs my dad at crafts
So I have a few ideas.
First is still the Roger Janitor character. I wanted to make a pull over head mask that you can pull down the skin from the top and be "blind". Also the arm mechanics.
Second is a witch doctor mask, like a skull of a vulture or raven. If you guys have any tips or ideas, please let me know!!!
Can you make Masterchiefs helmet?
flamethrower is the best tool for smoothing :) guys
Well, it seems my butt and my Bwonsamdi project was partially saved with this goodness (partially sadly 'cause I don't think I can afford all the materials and tools). Regardless, great video, and thank you sooo much for making it!
All you really need is the clay and your hands! You can make do with a cheap foam wig head that you layer tape and tin foil over to make it a more realistic proportion in lieu of an Ed Head! Sculpting tools can be bought cheap in small kits from stores like Michaels, and you can add nicer tools to your repertoire over time - no need to have it all right this second!
Your mask kinda looks like a who from whovilles skull.
My favorite part was when he yelled out "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
I bought 5 lbs of Plastilina modeling clay from michaels because its super cheap. I love masks, I've had an ineterest in them for a very long time but have never really worked up the courage to make several for myself and so am nervous starting to try now. I'm thinking of trying the monster clay, as I hear its pretty popular for the few videos I've seen where its used but is pretty expensive. But is it really so different from the plastalina I've used? Because the stuff is fairly stiff after the few seconds of being heated, and I'm look to find something thats more like ceramic clay as that's something I'm really familiar with but cannot unfortunately make masks out of due to various reasons.
It really just comes down to trying different clays and seeing what you like working with the best. While Monster clay might cost a little more than Plastalina in some cases, it's reusable and a single tub will last years, so it pays for itself.
what about a hot plate? or a cup warmer if you don't have it.
do elephant skull mask.
The hot plate I own would burn the clay instantly. It's so damn hot. Anything warm will work, I usually prop the clay in front of my woodstove. But I LOVE that oven that guy made. I am going to copy cat him.
Make a predator bio mask
Where's cubone the pokemon?
Lambda symbol in the background; Half-Life 3 confirmed.
Does anybody know where I can get one of those MAKER. t-shirts?? Thanks!
How do remove the mask from the bust? Just peel it off?
Once you're done sculpting you'll want to mold the mask while it's still on the bust. You'll see how Bill and Nick do this in the next video! After you've made your mold, simply lightly heat your Monster clay to make it soft and gouge it off the bust with your fingers. The clay can be put back into the container to be reused later!
It looks like superhero’s mask
Thanks Nick oh n thanks Bill TFS G :)
You're welcome!
5:06 birds now have teeth?
staples made it!
Do you or Nick ever make people personally made masks if they payed u since I would like to know since I am trying to get more types of masks to customize and if anyone in the comments know good types of masks to buy that would work great for me to customize feel free to comment and I will be posting a video of my masks on my channel if you want to see my customized masks
I’m even trying to figure out a type mask that’s skull like and is able to have a jaw that opens with a persons mouth
We don't take commissions. If you want to inquire with Nick about commissions I'd check out his website or Etsy. RUclips comments isn't the appropriate way to inquire about business.
12:11 happy dead man
I began making masks a few years back and slowly
have been piecing together a process. I recently came across Techleo polymorph molding plastic, but have started to consider different kinds of clay. Just found your channel and excited to be a viewer! If you have an Instagram mine is Happy_Mask_Man22 and it would be an honor to share a follow and take a page from ya’ll’s books. Cheers!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IWANTTHAT
I really want that skull mask from dishonored2
