The nightmare before christmas is my favorite movie. Great work as always!👍

!!! Both of you are so wonderful! Y’all’s nightmare before christmas sculptures are just MWAH beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I can't wait for your new video, loved your last one.

nightmare < corpse bride. Just sayin.

[@MistyForest0034]

The nightmare before Christmas was my favorite too along with Frankenweenie that was great 😊

[@gemi6035]

I would love to see him sculpt Victoria's parents from The Corpse Bride. They have features that really stick out.

[@jolliwoodstudios]

any characters from Corpse Bride would look great

[@gemi6035]

@@jolliwoodstudios Agreed. I was referring to how their designs stick to alot of features that he incorpates with stuff he designs. Referring to the mutants I believe from his Little Nightmares series.

[@jolliwoodstudios]

@@gemi6035 yeah i'm with you on that 100%.

[@siddubois4753]

Ooo good one!

[@mistingwolf]

Love this sculpture! Looks just like the character. Would love to see Lock, Shock, and Barrel!

[@heathermertz1487]

Same here i love them so much

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Me too!

[@smoxthybweh]

They have one of the best songs in the movie too

[@VNightmoon]

Yeeees!

[@hyuckdoesweed]

yesss!

[@ashley126890]

I would love to see Zero, Sparky and Scraps together in one sculpture. Also Lock, Shock and Barrel.

[@sophiejenner8517]

Yes to Beth of these so long as lock shock n barrel are in their bathtub

[@brookeriley8324]

The Zero, Sparky, and Scraps is such a great idea!!!!!

[@aaaxolotl855]

Don’t get me wrong, those are amazing ideas. I just think that would be a little much for ace, don’t you think?

[@brookeriley8324]

@@aaaxolotl855 well that just kinda depends, he could totally just make them a third of the size (since they are smaller) then since he’s making three it shouldn’t be much larger than the normal ones. I will say maybe it’ll take a bit longer with having to paint 3 of them and they are smaller with their own littler details. But he can always just decide not to do em lol.

[@pamelakranz9941]

Yes totally agree I would love to see zero

[@marksedlak8386]

The Mayor is also one of my favorite characters. I loved the fact that Burton made the not so subtle reference to Politicians being "two-faced" an actuality vs. a simple inference. You did a fantastic job on this one!

[@dirtyjeepgirl]

I'd love to see a series of The Addams Family. Especially Cousin It, Thing, Gomez, and Lurch!

[@Infinity28Mega]

Ooo it spins! I’m not the best with sculptures so it’s fascinating to see you make em. I’mma keep watching the video and I think it would be interesting to see how you’d sculpt Dr. Finkelstein. Or Zero, I’m not sure if you’ve made Zero already

[@desireebailey3025]

NO WAY. Anthony you’re going to make me cry!!! I have a figurine collection of NBC characters and this made my very miserable day so much better !!! I absolutely love your videos and anything nbc!

[@emberdreadful5604]

So do I! It's so amazing what can be made out of a lump of clay!

[@ARTICTOPA5]

I saw a car with jack skellington on it , hope this helps

[@rorykirklnd8957]

my favorite quote from the mayor is definitely "jack please i'm only an elected official i can't make decisions by myself"

[@omarflores9011]

@RoryKirklnd He's right, he's just a Dr. Watson to Jack's Sherlock Holmes, a Starbuck to his Ahab, a Witch-king to his Sauron, a Wormtoungue to his Saruman, a Vader to his Palpatine, a Chewbacca to his Han Solo, a Patrick to His SpongeBob, a Drake to his Josh, a Harley to his Joker, a Robin to his Batman, a Bellatrix to his Voldemort, a Crabbe and Goyle to his Draco, a Ringo to his rest of The Beatles, you get the idea, speaking of, how does Halloweentown's election process even work?

[@rorykirklnd8957]

@@omarflores9011 i saw a video that went over that exact question and they came up with the explination that the mayor is really the mayor who gets voted in by the people of haloween town and that jacks title of pumpkin king is just a title and is a more social consept then a real position with any real power (like when their is a festival in a town and someone gets apointed the 'king' 'queen' 'prince' and or 'princess' of the fair)

[@HomemakingSwansons]

I would love to see lock, shock, and barrel. They could all be in one sculpture.

[@heathermertz1487]

Ya good idea it’s OK with me if you wanna do it

[@3kidz1cat]

Happened with the order and

[@cheralynjones9060]

Love it, so glad you did his head so it turns, would love to see you make zero as he's my favourite, would be even better if you could make his nose light up as it did in the film. As always excellent sculpting, I always look forward to Fridays 👍🏻❤

[@cereal_dust_xi]

I can practically hear his voice calling for Jack. This is so accurate and well made. I love how you can spin his head!

[@NabiAbii]

My favourite character ever !!! Feel like this charter represents so many people … the two faced has a deeper meaning I feel 🖤

[@spicybeantofu]

Well hes a politician they are two faced

[@mrfish.-]

@@spicybeantofu Thus why I hate politics, you can’t choose a side without the other side acting petty.

[@jamiewilmore7327]

You're such a great educator, thank you for doing what you do. My daughter and I have learned so much watching your videos. I hope your life is as great as you are! xxx

[@kUr0k0chan]

Absolutely adorable that his head turns. Spot on and just so cute!!! Hmmm, I love the Tim Burton style so of course I'd love to see a character from another movie you haven't sculpted yet. But there's also the option of Guillermo del Toro movies but specifically Pan's Labyrinth. It's one of my absolute favourites and I love it so much.

[@BeeWhistler]

Yeah, I was stoked when you decided to make his head reversible. He's just perfect. I'm amazed at the control you have... the hours of work and practice really show!

[@jeanettemayer646]

nice touch on the coat the texturing makes it look like real fabric !!!!! love it !!!! great work !!!!

[@franklybizarre3473]

One of my favorites for sure, love the character and the fact that you made it interactive.

[@krystalquinton6711]

I love him the Mayor is my favorite character wish he got more recognition.

[@pandalover1234567896]

If there were to be a collaboration between you, Nerdforge, Jazza, and Studson Studio I would absolutely cry at the masterpiece you could all come up with together.

[@megolson9888]

I would die a happy lady of that happened!! I love Nerdforge and I have a feeling Martina would absolutely slay a sculpture paint like this…

[@unitymomentum]

I'M SO HAPPY YOU CHOSE TO DO THE MAYOR! Such an underrated character

[@DrJCoy18]

I love how the turning head/personality switch turned out! So cool!!

[@polythenepam3236]

Looking forward to watching all day 👏🏼👏🏼 love the nbc Zombie unicorn!? 🧟‍♂️🦄

[@polythenepam3236]

Love how the mayor turned out brilliant as always

[@vespine4203]

This is childhood fan service

[@aprilclyburn1173]

Bro I am completely blown away with this one...It looks AMAZING!!! There is so much detail in this..I'm really loving the spinning head..That totally tops it off...

[@SubbieNautica]

So awesome! Nightmare Before Christmas was one of my fav Tim Burton films when I was younger (still is).

[@tiffanycales4665]

Awesome! I love that you kept his twisting head. On another note I miss when you converted old objects into new sculptures would you be able to do a spooky one in the future?

[@lilpixie25]

Woah, that is such a beautiful sculpture, amazing! Great job!

[@pristinepastel]

i hope we get to see some Lost in Random inspired builds in the future, its right up your alley!

[@caelaniscrazy12]

The precision in the detailed painting just draws me in..! Another amazing piece, as always! 🤩

[@abbylajeunesse8498]

I've learned so much from this channel. Thank you for sharing your experience, mistakes, and process with us.

Why on Earth does Youtine not have a LOVE button yet?!?!?! This is so awesome.

The skills, the background music, the vibes. All immaculate.

[@Сергей_Сергей-ф4е]

Your work with clay is very fascinating! Beautifully designed works! And magical music! Thank you for showing the whole process!!! 👍👍👍

[@amyurquiza9923]

Love how he turned out! Definitely a favorite movie. Would love to see Coroline and the Other mother!

[@kellihennagir6641]

Hands down my favorite sculpt to date! Holy crap this is amazing! I have anxiety and I use the mayor as an example to explain to people how it feels. He’s the perfect visual! Side note…you were rocking a Detroit shirt! I’m live in metro Detroit!

[@sarahl9545]

I love your videos! I am a cake decorator so I work with fondant and your clay tips actually work with fondant too!

[@signemadsen6141]

Your stuff is always amazing, but the paint job on the Mayor is on a whole new level! The details are so well done. This is beautiful!

[@miippi]

Ah, I love nightmare before Christmas. Still hoping for a "the crow" sculpt for halloween

[@u.k.1207]

YES please!

[@illustrateadream3926]

This is awesome! I’d love to see you sculpt the vampires from this film, all the characters designs are so interesting and unique!

[@Alt87213]

Love how this turned out !!! Really hoping you actually do end up making all the characters from this movie !!! Personally I’d love to see you sculpt the 3 kids from this movie :)

[@KellyHalsey11]

Amazing job! You should sculpt Lock, Shock, and Barrel next! Thanks for making such great content!

[@JSAbbott]

YES! One of my absolute favorite animated movies. 👻👻

[@aaaxolotl855]

Wow, ace. You really out-did yourself this time! I do have a couple suggestions for the next piece. •maybe make a main character for the mutant universe •some kind of snake guide •a mutant related to sound or music •pretty much anything in the mutant universe lol

[@joshbare4828]

He looks awesome! Just like he stepped off the screen. Really would love to see you sculpt Pennywise in your style. Absolutely love your work! I always look forward to your videos on Fridays.

[@barbarasmith2693]

I can't believe aren't you working with a major animation/claymation studio? Your skills are top notch.👍

[@thehousewifelife.]

My son and I watched Nightmare Before Christmas while I decorated for fall. He’s 1.5 so I can only imagine what he thought about it… 😅 Anyhow. I could watch you sculpt all day long.

[@stephaniewarren4197]

Awesome as usual! Would love to see Zero with his little gravestone / doghouse. Also Lock, Shock and Barrel! And lastly Dr. Finkelstein, but make it so part of his skull comes off and you can see his brain! (Long time fan of movie also!)

[@reesesyberg]

i’m currently working on an art project of the mayor so it was really fun seeing him being made here

[@lynnbarclay4241]

I love him so much! You should consider doing a series of characters from the movie. Thank you!

[@shulaney4639]

Spot on!!! Tim Burton would be impressed!!

[@terracedflame4702]

Love to see you still going and wonderful sculpture a complete replica!

[@kathrynd6779]

This is probably a weird compliment but you always pick the best background music for your videos! They’re always on point

[@snow_thehusky]

Its not weird 😉

[@mykelberrie1822]

OMG! When I commented that you should make the mayor with a turning head I didn’t think you would actually make him!! I LOVE THIS!

[@jennylawson1980]

The Mayor turned out incredible . I am a Nightmare Before Christmas fanatic. I also love Corpses Bride. Tim Burton is amazing and you really have nailed his creepy vibe.

[@faeriefire78]

I'm a Nightmare Before Christmas collector and I would take your sculpture over a lot of the collectibles out there in a second! Very, very well done, and such high quality. Thanks for taking the time to show us how you make these amazing creations! 🕷 (ETA: I would LOVE to see Lock, Shock and Barrel and the musicians someday!)

[@spencerpmartistchannel5067]

This might be my favorite thing you’ve sculpted. It’s my favorite character design from that film!

[@heyyoup]

I watch the nightmare before Christmas every October and December, it's on of my fav Tim Burton movies ^^

[@stickyfootgecko9882]

Fan- amazeballs-tastic!!!!! Can't love this enough!! You totally nailed him!! One of my favourite movies ever. Please, please make as many characters as you can between now and Christmas... nightmare before Christmas isn't just for Halloween after all!!!

[@cameronmario7834]

This is spot on!!✨ Truely amazing sculpting!! I love that you can turn the head!🦇

[@Kronen9700]

The details on the face are just *chefs kiss*👌

[@geolgirl]

Soo happy you made this! I love nightmare before Christmas, we watch it from about now till Christmas :D made me chuckle when you lifted his head clean off!! Made my day brighter :)

[@soniab760]

This is brilliant. Your sculptures are always amazing! I started to sculpt because of your videos ☺️👍 I love it 🥰🥰 Lock, shock and barrel would be wonderful 😁

[@amyovard4817]

DUUUUDE!!! This is EPIC!!! And the fact that his head can turn and everything is just AMAZING!!!😃😃😃🎃🎃🎃💖💖💖

[@serenadavis5956]

He is fantastic. I like the black window on his shirt. It gives him a scary vibe.

[@k8t6y]

So weird that this is the video this week. A few days ago (while watching the movie with my daughter) I thought “oh the mayor will be a cool sculpture for Ace of Clay and it would be so cool if the head moved” and here we are. So cool! Great video!

[@shadowheartart3898]

Wow! He looks great!! I love the details with the tie and mayor badge

[@rtofthe_dead]

Damn, It looks super accurate! I would love to see how it would look like if you sculpted the Harlequin Demon!

[@TheSpookySculptress]

I’m obsessed ! I love your work . I just ordered all of the products you’ve suggested to start my own sculpting journey!😊 Nightmare Before Christmas has been my favorite movie my entire life .

[@charliethedemon01]

This one was very soothing to watch, made me sleepy with the music and your delicate sculpting. I must confess it did make me fall asleep but for all good reasons! And I did come back and watch the rest. Brilliant work as always 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼

[@rougnashi]

I just rewatched this movie again to celebrate the spooky season! I can't wait to see who all you're bringing to life this time!

[@missyb5255]

Wonderful job with the Mayor ... ❤❤❤

[@diamondsandthings]

What an amazing job you did! Love The Nightmare Before Christmas characters.

[@jaynedavis4712]

You did a fantastic job on the sculpture but I think the extremely fine details in the paint job (like the white face’s eyes & the spider tie) could use a touch up but still 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤯😍

[@LuckyLexVlog]

Yay!! You made him!! So happy. He turned out amazing!

[@fralinsandfriends]

I've never watched the Nightmare Before Christmas. I've seen the ads and my kids watched it when they were growing up. You make the characters look so fun, I'm going to have to watch it. 😁👋💖

[@anniehartley8851]

Yep, one of my favorite movies and artists for that type of film, once again so cool

[@kristinebaker5477]

My kids watched it every Halloween and Christmas. But, my Niece has a little boy with Autism and he wants to watch it every day long💙🥰 he’s 3yrs old and not scared of spooky things 💙

Nice work Ace. Just as the Mayor came out of the movie.👍🥰🥰🥰

Cool sponsor bro. That desk is actually a great idea.

[@Kids_Scissors]

I love how the seams where his face expression plates attach are just a part of his design

[@dawnflynn196]

This is so cool. I love that his head can turn round. I can't wait until you do the whole characters from this film

[@LostGirlGenius]

Those could be legit action figures. You did an awesome job!

[@vspikes88]

He came out so good! Wow! Next to lock, shock and barrel!

[@kevindouglas9066]

Awesome job!! If you don't mind the suggestion, you can use magnets to hold the head in place so it doesn't wobble or falloff.

[@phoebewooding5967]

Reeeee! The mayor is fantastic! I was hoping you'd make him! Brilliant job!

[@JustLaughLucy]

Would love to see you do more Beetlejuice characters!! Like the blue lady, shrunken head guy or Adam and Barb’s “creepy” faces!!! Love your work!!
