Making Up My Own Nightmare Character - The Story of "The Zookeeper" | Polymer Clay Timelapse

[@aceofclay]

So this guy started in my head on a random day when I thought "I want to make a character that rides an ostrich" and the rest is history lol. The Zookeeper may not be a blood thirsty, violent villain, but he's certainly no good guy. I really enjoyed making this sculpt and using my new airbrush compressor lol. Let me know what you think of this guy and if YOU have any ideas for mutants! Thank you for being here ❤ -Anthony

[@PascalDeckwerth]

AWESOME I HAVE GREAT IDEA FOR NEXT MUTANTEN CHARAKTER THE BRIDE OR THE POLICE MAN AWESOME OR???

[@jordantoatley1086]

The creative process is an amazing thing XD the best ideas start as random thoughts while doing unrelated things.

[@Anfluffab]

The "Doctor" he's not here to heal you, he's here to harvest you ... ☠️☠️☠️

[@miippi]

Because the mutants are all based on professions, I do think there should be the most evil professional out there. The dentist. I would not like to run into a dentist in a dark alleyway at any time

[@cbkqmom]

Throttle - my vote for the ostrich

[@milleniumonion7223]

I feel like the Anti-Mutant of this one would just return everyones stuff. Which I find funny considering the others are trying to stop these beings from commiting murder/mass murder and then theres this one chasing a guy on an Ostrich trying to get them to stop stealing things

[@catherinetetrault4789]

I think the perfect name for the Ostrich would be "Ozzy"! Nice facial expression 😊😜❤

[@meganjones218]

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO!!! OZZYYYYY

[@frostbearbitesgames5246]

I was also thinking ozzy

[@Garouwerks]

I would love to see 3-4 more zoo animals for him. They wouldn't be main characters at all, but would make up HIS zoo.

[@LionmaneElsie08]

“On his majestic mutant ostrich” is a sentence I never thought I’d ever hear. It did make me giggle a bit 😆

[@Jencogneeto]

Felix the ostrich. And I think it might be nice to see the whole group of Hidden World characters you've made every once in awhile. I'd love to see how they all look together!

[@obadijahparks]

I love how the new characters are coming with accessories/buddies.

[@MikeCampo]

Dude you're levelling up before our eyes. This looks great!

[@paperdoll1982]

I agree! His recent sculpts just continue to blow my mind every week.

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

That FACE!! You really went to town on getting some really amazing looks there. Plus the ostrich is hilarious!

[@Adam_Flick]

I love your work. I have admired your work for years. So what I’m about to say comes from love. My critique on this sculpture is how he is “floating” above the ostrich, instead of conforming to it. When you sculpted him, you could have put down a barrier so you could sculpt him to fit around the ostrich and still separate them for firing and painting. Everything else, chef’s kiss. I love your videos, art style, and instructions!

[@morissaedwards7348]

Felix is perfect for the Ostrich.

[@Simply_mystical]

Near the beginning when you didnt cut off the excess wire- it looked reallyy cool! Lmao maybe a mutant who barely looks human due to getting the worst of the curse or something

[@miippi]

I would absolutely love a longer video of you just showing the aftershots of all the mutants while reading the extended lore of each one like an audiobook. I would listen that video so hard

[@andiyfarr7715]

Great idea! It would be really cool to have all of their lores together in one video in audiobook style! I would totally listen to that too, and I'm sure plenty of others would as well.

[@mirandaford4907]

I think Footloose is a great name for this ostrich. Fabulous detailed work as always. Have a lovely weekend.

[@kittenscorner6923]

To fit the vibe, let it level off as Ostrich. He wouldn't care to name it. Or really get the zoo keeper's vibe and name it "Bird." Just a thought

[@elishahankin6465]

Ostrich should be called Oscar of course!😂❤

[@ExtinctBricks]

This is my absolute Favorite of all your mutants! I love it!

[@miippi]

I felt immediate dread of winston being sold out, despite the fact that i ordered mine the day the sale of him started and he is watching this video with me. 😂😂😂

[@ThePhaeriephox]

Apoxy -Sculpt is amazing! I’ve used for so many things! And it comes in white, “stone”, bronze and grey… it’s great stuff!

[@adriannabcustomfurniture]

His facial expression is on point. It's exactly how I imagine someone like him would look 😂 love it, as always!

[@CraftyF0x809_TheFoxProtector]

OMG- I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU AGAIN!!! I USED TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS ALL THE TIME!!! my Little Nightmares phase is coming back, all i can remember from this channel is your amazing Little Nightmares work- and horrifically amazing craftsmanship✨ and i am just SOOOO HAPPY- that this video was this recent- MY GOD, it's always the best when you come back to a channel and see their still posting 😭✨

[@awolbat]

My favorite face sculpt thus far!

[@thotparnassus2617]

Eggbert perhaps would be a fitting name for this egg making bird 😂great sculpture as always …your attention to detail is quite amazing and your story telling gift is alluring

[@serenadavis5956]

I like the story about the zoo keeper. The sculpture is great. I wonder how long it toke to train the Ospringe so the zoo keeper could sit on its back. Lol. Sorry for bad spelling.

[@joshvanbonn925]

The names i thought of for the Ostrich are... Aegis or Osiris they might be cool even as other Mutant or Guids Names if you go with another person's name idea 😁 also love the way the Zookeeper looks yet another unique and awesome Sculpture! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Shayne007]

Ooo i really like the zookeeper and the idea of him riding a ostrich is really cool 😊

[@philipholder5600]

Love this guy. The Ostrich is a fun touch. Why not name him Ace?

[@PrincessHeathaB]

This face sculpt in particular is incredible!

[@salima990]

I am new here, so congratulations on making me have nightmares for the rest of my life and now I’m kind of addicted so thanks

[@leisacampbell5420]

I really admire your painting abilities. I'm sure it has taken you many years of trial and error. Hopefully one day I will feel my ability is pretty good too.

[@jeepscreeps]

Anthony! These 2 are spectacular! You're so creative! How about Opus the Ostrich...it means death...(eek!) - and ostriches are known to be very very bad birds!

[@amandagermany5933]

I feel like the name of the ostrich should be Concord. Ironically, of course. This week is straight up my alley.

[@carlettov]

one of your best artwork

[@diamondsandthings]

Great pair. I think Loki is a great name for the zookeeper. Such detail! Love them

[@christoffernero5829]

That's an freaking awesome sculpt, well done!!

[@toniwilton4531]

The expression! OMG! So good, as usual. I have always loved watching you work and the characters you share with us.

[@shulaney4639]

Great face and intriguing story!!!

[@phoenixdarkstar7364]

I love all the texture! You are an inspiration and i learn so many techniques watching you. Btw, i like Oscar for the ostrich.

[@chrismuramatsu6600]

Thank you, thank you! I love that the ostrich idea came to you first. I love the expressions on both the zookeeper and the ostrich. The clincher is the way that the zookeeper is bouncing along on the ostrich's back!

[@daliacat3396]

Love the stray ostrich feather details

[@AnonPer]

Steed the Ostrich: Whenever The Zookeeper steals everything from someone, he makes his getaway on his trusty "Steed"!

[@lachauntiswashington231]

He looks so cool and funny.😂😂 I like his expression. I think the ostrich name would be Philip .

[@mayakyen3695]

Oh wow You've moved into Airbrushing! ❤ Great mixed mediums. Its been a while since i watched your vids, such amazing work. I remember when that shelf behind you was nearly empty except for your earlier designs. So Happy to see you still Here!! Every time i feel a little inspiration to get my self back into sculpting. While in mourning, havent been able to lift my hands to sculpt in yrs. But i feel like if i watch more of your vids maybe it will rekindle that spark i lost when i lost my Love.

[@peachesyuson8989]

This is such a cool idea! Oscar would be a good name for the ostrich 😁

[@retrodruid4785]

Steward the Ostrich sounds interesting of an name.

[@michelle_mitch_p]

Ozzie ❤

[@brianahawkins8124]

Great job creating the Zookeeper, in my imagination for him & his story he might be more terrifying than Zoonomoly.

[@julierochforte7174]

You're a genius! Love your work!

[@shoshanabinyamin]

These two monsters from zoonomaly look so realistic!

[@aleneajacklyn7348]

Oscar or Ollie for the ostrich name!

[@juliewaters8732]

Absolutely incredible,love it

[@AngeloSculptures]

Amazing as Always!

[@user-um5mu9ws2z]

Another great character build. Super creative idea with ostrich.

[@caseyandowen3809]

I love your sculptures

[@Sarah420Hippie]

Oswald the ostrich 🤩

[@maddieadams75]

Excellent piece of art. Ostrich is a nice addition or the zookeeper is a nice addition. ❤❤

[@noellec27]

I like the name, "Stritch" for the ostritch.

[@billv9220]

You nailed this! Thanks for sharing again.

[@jennylawson1980]

Awesome character! So glad you decided on the zookeeper as one. He fits the mutant world perfectly 😊 Oki would be a name choice? Or Alabaster?

[@deeval832]

Love your content. Your creativity and attention to detail is incredible. I appreciate you sharing your talents with us.

[@ichigo8188]

He looks like the meme guy riding a flamingo and singin "in the jungle, the mighty jungle the flamingo flies tonight... oooOOoooOOo"

[@jeriherman9639]

Another perfect character and ostrich!!🩶🤎🤍🖤

[@nataliabarrios1239]

I’d name the ostrich Juniper ❤

[@CJ-rl4kd]

Yes sir new video for my sleeping playlist

[@MoonPieMakes]

I love your content - I am always looking forward to your videos. 🎉

[@monicaformica1285]

Larry… ❤hugs from Italy !

[@jeriherman9639]

You have an amazing imagination. All your creatures and characters are so detailed...Brilliant and absolutely amazing!! I would love to have the whole set! You definitely are the ACE OF CLAY!! 💯🖤

[@SLee89]

Absolutely love this sculpt

[@corinnetippit7983]

Hey four lingered man...run the other way. Hee hee name Zooey, the zookeeper pet

[@BPOC156]

I really like your guide characters

[@Milli-j8r]

How about a serpent guide.

[@tracygardner6318]

Awesome job as always

[@Sanmanthecreator]

I love it it looks incredible I love all of your sculpture i'm a big fan of your sculpture keep up the good work man

[@AndrewsClayCreations]

He is amazing! So impressive! I love the fact that he rides an ostrich, and it adds so much to the whole piece.

[@luzjimenez1791]

I love it amazing job with him he looks so cool I made my own will back but nowhere near as cool as yours❤

[@candyjams8416]

Can you do penguin, two face, riddler

[@CollaborativeDog]

I vote for Turkey. The zookeper might be far-sighted, unable to see things up close. Or Clive. Or Liivingston ("Dr. Livingston, I assume?"). Fun sculpt. I love the creative inspiration.

[@stevenbunch1623]

So cool 😎 - inspiring !!

[@KuulSHep]

You should have gone with a cassawary, but if you were going for a comic relief mutant, then the ostrich is fine.

[@dawnclarke3203]

you should make the entity it would be sick

[@nicoleguidry5233]

It should be cute and unassuming like Honey

[@gallifreyarchives4434]

Where is the rest of the fellowship?

[@GANDALFMithrander]

Filipenso should be the name of the ostrich 😊

[@joannabaparileszczynska]

Otto the ostrich

[@candyjams8416]

Do Penguin from batman next

[@candyjams8416]

Penguin is next

[@philipholder5600]

10:24I just had an idea for a mutant. The Comedian. In life, he was a Stand up Comedian. But not a very good one. He was transformed, and from that moment on, those who would hear his jokes would literally laugh themselves to death. This just a suggestion. I hope. You don't mind.

[@gabrielparker3289]

Can you make one called the nail stylist with her hair made out of decapitated fingers with long nails on it

[@LaurenVanDerHoven]

I love the zookeeper he is amazing It's been my dream to be a zookeeper and the ostrich's name should be Arlo

[@jfragale03]

Call the ostrich “The Bird,” kinda in the same vein as the rest of the mutant names. Maybe even touch on his backstory at some point!

[@user-rr1jc8by5o]

Please do some Harry Potter creatures. Your pick but there are some cool HP creatures I would love to see you make.

[@2tone209]

AY UP ACE OF CLAY

[@virusofthemind]

I have written about really wanting to see you sculpt the scooby doo gang an maybe a monster I just love them an your style I’d love to see them together I love captain cutler and the phantom shadow

[@kai-kt6ui]

OZZIE!! (Non copied comment!!! Yes I saw others! But as soon as he said we name it that’s what I thought!, no hate!)

[@Lepokes]

I wanna see a mutant librarian!!!

[@copingwithcrazy]

I think the ostrich should be called "the steed". Kind of silly, but goes with your names from their jobs

[@Milli-j8r]

Quill the ostrich,quill means feathered scribe,which makes sense,because the ostrich has feathers.

[@Milli-j8r]

The zookeeper and samson (which is the deer guide)are similar,cuz they both have friends that are animals.

[@Katzztar]

I've got a question, do you have space or site where you gathered all the information on your Hidden World? I need to brush up on the Muses, I know the difference between Mutants and the Guides, but forgot what a Muse is. Also be nice to see a list of who's who in this world. I found your website. While it showcases your art, it doesn't have Hidden World Lore.

[@cyberra0180]

How did he and the ostrich get transformed? Beware of weirdos running around with ostriches in the middle of the night... lol. Will his anti-mutant be a werewolf? Or maybe a cassowary?

[@danielrivera3438]

I can be a trickster too, looks like the Zookeeper met his match.
