Making Up MY OWN Nightmare Character - The Ice Cream Man's SISTER, Murda! - Polymer Clay Tutorial

[@aceofclay]

Get your season 2 mutant merch here!: bit.ly/3xiXSXD What do you think of The Ice Cream Man's sister, Murda?? Let me know! Would you want to see me expand on some other mutants too? IG and Twitter: @aceofclay

[@laurenedge6392]

Could you sculpt a victim of one of the mutants? I'd love to too a victim of the photographer

[@SirSheisty4269]

I guess mine didn’t get used but it’s okie 😁

[@the.question.master]

You're super underrated and extremely creative! Not to mention skilled! Keep at it, I can't wait to see what other stuff set in your mutant universe you produce :)

[@lechatbotte.]

Yep more guides too please.

[@darkestcarving8735]

Actually some trivia that were missing is something rather important Are the fetch monsters even aggressive Do they want to kill if they're interrupted Or is all they do just to clean crime scenes? Cuz the way you describe these guys makes me think that you would sit back relax with a bag of popcorn and watch them clean it up. Unless you are a witness?

[@hannahdavis5725]

I think the Ice Cream Man is Ace of Clay's favorite. Just a hunch.

[@ihatesoup9242]

I mean, He did made the Ice Cream man's past self and now his sister

[@urbestie6170]

i think he's everyone's favorite

[@renithink7900]

Yeah I think he said in the video that it was his favorite so far

[@emmajumet7367]

I don't know. Kinda seems like the Icecream Man is his actual favorite. Then again it could be the Icecream Man or the Icecream Man.

[@wolfishblue79]

I think she needs the hat

[@anome4731]

Seeing as the ice cream man has a sister, a friend (the chef) and a origin story I think we can safely say who the favourite child is

[@_Raven_Dia]

It would be so cool to have twins where one is a villain and the other a hero!

[@amaeve1950]

And they are still linked positively to each other. Like, they communicate with one another in their own made up language.

[@peekaloo12]

As creepy as she is, the moment I saw the skull hairpin I thought of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and now all I can imagine is this mutant as a Hot Topic employee being forced to wear the merch and quietly dying inside.

[@annakuch9108]

PFFFT yes.

[@sarahmcdonald4787]

I like to imagine that she's busy removing fingerprints from hands and filing teeth down from decapitated heads while her brother does the majority of the heavy duty stuff. You know, just the small things to dispose of the evidence on the off-hand someone enters the truck.

[@aaaxolotl855]

Yeah that’s sensible

[@chomperthetrox]

If your a murderer, a police man, not so much, and definitely not a cake maker

[@Ganaha_Celosia_Priskos]

I had an idea for a mutant! I called them the Musician and they would be found lurking around mainly in theaters, concert halls, civic centers, basically anywhere music or concerts are performed. The Musician used to be someone proud of their music but lately has become unsatisfied and gone to madness trying to create the perfect piece. They're tall and spindly having the ability to fold themself into instrument cases to hide from their prey before striking unexpectedly. They also have the ability to extract or steal the voices of their prey to add to their collection of sounds in hopes of creating the best symphony or choir for their piece. I definitely took inspiration from Ursula for this character haha!

[@sashagaybright3530]

Ace of Clay 1 year later: Ok guys the premiere for The Mutants and Heroes goes up this Friday! Lol These backstories and how they could tie together would make great tv show tho just sayin ;D

[@awkwardsoul12]

I think it's an idea for like a game or something lol I would def watch it as a tv show though

[@alyssawagers7540]

Omg yes It would be awesome

[@nathanholland3314]

Maybe a cat guide? She was a victim of the seamstress but survived after being saved by one of the other guides. However she was still somewhat accessed by the entity through the seamstress, and partially transformed. This ‘gifted’ her with a tail which she uses to pounce and balance. She now follows the seamstress playing with and unpicking the thread of souls, like a real life cat and a ball of yarn, setting them free to return to their physical bodies. This is why the seamstress has to constantly check her thread to make sure none of the souls are set free. She is playful and approachable in nature but can become very vicious when necessary, usually when fending off the seamstress as the cat guide spends a great deal of time watching over those who live alone. As these people are usually adults, the cat guide isn’t held in the fondest regards of the nanny either. The cat guide would be a young girl, similar in age to Otto and would wear knitted clothes made from the red string left behind by the seamstress as a means of reminding her of her purpose and to keep the memory of the victims alive.

[@spainwithoutthes8465]

[@MysteriousWays13]

The Ice Cream Man looks unsettling in his own way, but Murda really looks like she would be calculatingly cruel and be plotting behind her brother's back. You've really upped the nasty on her. Thanks for showing us your process. I've learned so much by watching your videos over the past couple of years.

[@yaboi8er]

I've said it once before and I'll say it again, these designs and this world would make for a GREAT horror game.

[@missyb5255]

I so love your stories ... They definitely make the characters come to life ... Actually you should make an animated/claymation series out of these creatures and guides ... That would be so cool ... But as always love your sculpts ... You're awesome ❤❤❤

[@alyssawagers7540]

Omg yes I'd love to see that

[@silverwind9964]

Honestly, I love this series, and Murda looks really cool, but I find that I like some of the other things you do too. I think it would be cool if you did some fantasy type of sculptures. That being said, now I'm wondering if The Entity is maybe two people. You have one that targets people who are absolutely terrible individuals, twisting their appearances to what lies in their hearts and taking away their humanity as punishment for what they've done, and then you have one that targets children, and good people, like The Nanny before she was turned. That's where my thoughts are going with this anyway. Great video! Speaking of the Nanny, it would be great to learn a little more about her.

[@venus-zt7vd]

Idea: The Feeble Mother; a 2nd level mutant who was murdered during her pregnancy by a person who tricked her into letting them in her home. Now, as a mutant she wonders around acting as if she needs shelter due to her ‘pregnancy’ once they let her into their home she murders them and eats them. (You might’ve seen this comment before, I had a change of names for her)

For me, this sculpture looks like a nightmare version of an awful high school teacher. Like she doesn't care about what you're going through or struggling with, only maintaining her power over you and handing out punishments for no reason just so she can exert her power.

[@lunanightshade4350]

Only thing missing is her side to side with her brother! otherwise this was amazing to watch and i love hearing the bits of their story! Curious, how much clay do you use on average for each of these? And how often do you have to buy paint? What color runs out the fastest besides black and white?

[@hhowdy]

Mutant idea -The Wallow The wallow is a weird specimen he doesn’t have a real form but he takes the form of a mutant crab type beast he is up with the Mother and the Mantis he is actually one of the Mothers Creatures and by far the most intelligent it has all the features of the Thing from the movie but he doesn’t assimilate he copy’s every time he kills some one a peace of him comes off a grows in to the killed victim and then that copy goes to more people and then more and more copying this thing took out a whole town in Russia but the military found out it’s weakness acid they killed it but one finger crawled it’s way in to a sewer and grew back in the it self and now the urban legend of the Валяться (wallow in Russian) was born scouring the sewers and can attack a any moment at any time to strike….

[@Ambitionless7]

By far my favourite of your mutants. There's something captivating about her deceptively simple backstory and overall aesthetic. Especially hearing how she seems to have no powers of her own despite being a mutant, or is unable to tap into any power due to being subjugated by the entity and her brother. I seriously hope to see more of her in the future, as well as others in this series.

[@rigbeta9664]

I love Murda and Albert. They're very simple yet ominous. And I love the way her design isn't too over the top, rather, her head is mostly the grotesque part; simply reflecting a grueling and morbid mind made physically apparent.

[@erindezerne]

I stumbled on your videos exactly when I needed them a few weeks ago and I've been meaning to tell you that I've learned SO MUCH just from watching you work, far more than any other sculpting videos I've found so far. I probably would've procrastinated even longer before saying something because, ugh, social anxiety, except you used a technique here that I saw you do in another video before, where you detail the hair in pieces before attaching them to the head, and doing that made a huge difference in what I'm working on now. I've been struggling on a figure whose hair has been aggravating me for DAYS and remembered, "OH! ACE DID THIS DIFFERENTLY!!!" after I noticed you do it again here with Murda. When I did it your way just now, it immediately fixed the problem I was having in getting the shapes right and I'm FINALLY satisfied in where things are going. SO!! First of all, thank you for posting these videos--I know filming everything and putting it all together has to take a up lot of time you'd probably rather be doing other things, but they are so, so appreciated. And second, thank you for making fun, positive content to look forward to. Even if I weren't into sculpting or immersed in the Nightmare universe you're creating, I'd still want to watch your videos because you're just plain fun. I didn't mean to ramble this long, but I've been meaning to tell you for ages now and the older I get, the more I realize how important it is to tell people when they make a difference in your life, even if we're strangers. Sure, I can like and subscribe (which I totally already have), but that just seems inadequate for all you've taught me so far and how much enjoyment I get from watching you work. P.S. Murda creeps me RIGHT OUT in the best possible way and I LOOOOOOOVE her tiny, gnarled claw hands in particular. Any plans for a pre-Entity Murda like her brother someday? You've got me intrigued in her as a character and now I'm dying to know what she would've looked like in her human form. Same for The Red Lady, one of my other favorites!! Both of them strike me as vain, self-centered characters, so there's something especially intriguing about them both becoming monsters and what's on the outside coming into alignment with who they are on the inside. I'm dying to know how you picture both of them in their human form, and what they might've looked like before their transformations. Either way, I can't wait to see with what you come up with next.

[@Flat_Brain]

Looks great, also can you make her before she became a mutant?

[@lechatbotte.]

Yes!!! I love it. I love all the other characters in between keeps me excited when you finally release a new mutant.

[@hhowdy]

Cant wait to get that TE shirt and nice OG designee because he was your first mutant :D

[@shadowheartart3898]

She's absolutely *gorgeous*! I especially love her mouth and nose, and those hands! My only gripe is the suspenders hugging her chest like that. Unless it's some kind of latex, cloth just doesn't work like that. Especially if it's elastic (which many suspenders are). It could just be a style thing. I don't know anything about these mutants you've been making lately. But she is fantastic - as always. I love your work

[@maddieadams75]

Great piece. Excellent attention to detail. Skull barrette nice touch ♥️

[@CatManReal]

Idea: The Cat Lady; A woman was at home when she got murdered by something. Her cats then ate some of her, then she was turned into a mutant. She killed her cats, and you can still see the souls of the cats in her sometimes. The way she kills is by getting cats to do her bidding. If you ever see a cat with a red diamond on their forehead, you need to run, because that is a cat slave of The Cat Lady.

I don't wanna seem like I'm coming down on you because your creativity is outta this world. But as someone well endowed in the chest area, there's no way those suspenders touch any part of her stomach. Would have been a great spot from some cosclay from the apex of the chest to the belt line.
