Fairies & Demons

More content and sculpting tutorials at / artchongart
It's my first video!!!
Thanks for watching. I hope you found the video fun and entertaining, or at the very least a diversion.
If you feel like checking me out on Instagram, I can be found at: @art_chong
Technical stuff:
- Sculpted using Chavant NSP Medium and Hard grade oil-based clays.
- The armatures are simple aluminum wires.
- The sculpture stands roughly 20" tall, and about 18-20" wide depending on where you measure
- The sculpture took a ridiculous 30 (or so) days to complete
- It also took an equally ridiculous 12 days to arrive at the composition I was happy with
- So actual sculpting time for the finished piece is more like 18 days depending on how you count... I'm just gonna tell myself it took 18 days because it makes me feel less bad as an artist ;D

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you for watching! Please do let me know what you think of the sculpt or the video :)

[@9words40]

motion is so smooth and believable, noice xD

[@cloudy_BACON]

Very professional🤩 I thought you had 500k subs lmao

[@cloudy_BACON]

You should make some online courses👍👍🙏

[@crystalmonroe8188]

Are you planning to make more videos?

[@ArtChongArt]

@Josalyn mwah yes! Next one is coming hopefully in a couple weeks. These sculpts take forever lol

[@wolfgang_628]

In my head, she is a warrior fairy defending her home (probably a forest) from a demon, who is conquering the continent. To the demon, her home is nothing more than an insignificant speck, not even worth his time. But to the fairy, it's what she cares most about in this world, and she fights with the ferocity that comes with it. This misjudgement on the demon's part is what leads to his defeat. I also love how you turned the fairy and demon concepts on their head by making the fairy fight with a spear, while the more barbaric-looking demon fights with magic.

[@poppycat5017]

She's a mom. She's got small fairies hiding somewhere behind her, perhaps in a wee log or something and if you were to look carefully you might see them poking their heads out. And there is no way on earth that any demon is getting past to her kids. Just a normal very kickass mom :) And that demon has absolutely no chance against her.

[@randomsimpson]

Gotta love seeing those parts of the process that the artist would prefer stay private, like mimicking a pose or repeating a line of dialogue to yourself to see if it works

[@PailinsKitchen]

Amazing!!!

[@ArtChongArt]

I feel you may be biased, but thank you :D

[@Citrus9]

What's as equally impressive is the quality of your first video! Great job on both artistic accounts!

[@ArtChongArt]

haha, thanks. I've done some work in video before so that part was not so bad

[@thayer750]

Wow, that's amazing and as a beginner I really appreciate seeing the whole process rather than a simple timelapse of the sculpt like many sculpting channels do. Though how easy you make it look makes me die a little inside >.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! Please don't die on the inside. If you post any of your sculpts, feel free to tag me :)

[@ajuwaaa]

I totally understand! But you gotta think that it really wasn't an easy process. He must have used dozens of time to master his skills, he sacrificed prized inventions of his to make the sculpture one that made sense and was good, so it's a hard process, but if you really like doing it, if it's fun, keep trying! forget about other's development and master abilities, think of them as inspiration and not objective points you have to achieve; go in your own pace and do what you like :)

[@melaniemiller5465]

Love the sculpt! I think you hit a great balance on describing your thought process without getting bogged down in it, and I like both your editing and sculpting style. Subbed!

[@ArtChongArt]

You're very kind, thank you :)

[@dennisnoack3164]

This was great! I want to see more of your detailing process - I enjoyed watching your creative mental breakdown but I also want to see all of your little tricks and methods of producing fine details in your work

[@ArtChongArt]

oh you want MORE details.. how interesting. Thanks.

[@kcodydansereau5757]

Your commentary mixed with your editing, I was SHOCKED to find out this was your first video. Love your style, both in sculpting and content creation. You got a sub from me!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! 😊

[@maetheechongchitnant810]

Finally got time to lay down and watched the whole video. The sculpt is amazing, and the quality of the video is also really good, I'd expect no less from you on that front 😆 But seeing your personality came through, which made a half hour video this enjoyable to watch is something that is beyond my expectations. Overall, well done, this is an awesome first video. 👍

[@ArtChongArt]

Thanks bro :)

[@ruthiewitter569]

This absolutely takes my breath away. What an amazing outcome!!!!! It’s really personally helpful to see the crazy, frustrating, messy process. It turns out way different than your original plan, but it turns out so much better. It’s encouraging. I love this video, and I’ve learned a lot. Thank you!!!

[@kristopherakelly]

I love seeing your creative process here, especially the moments of sharp evaluation. Great video!

[@jcrosal3067]

Awesome work! Its great to see the entire process and hearing your thoughts while working on it. Looking forward to see more!

[@Bluemarble72]

ART! I'm looking forward to watching more of your work!

[@leiawapuhi01]

WOW!!!! Thanks for walking me through it. Really interesting watching it come to fruition.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank YOU for watching :) I'm happy to know you found it interesting

[@vanessafernandes8673]

You're attention to detail is freaking amazing! Great job man

[@dornellitos]

Dude the process, the finished sculpture, everything is so amazing, I can't wait to watch more of this.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you. I can't wait to see the next one either, lol

[@Heiligwater]

The voice over and the whole process is just so wholesome, forgot to sip my coffee..

[@ruthiewitter569]

I love your laugh so much 😁 it brings me joy!!

[@gregorygg552]

It's amazing, I like how it's gaining life as the video progresses. it occurred to me when I saw that the fairy was singing in Latin when she accidentally summoned a demon and had to defeat it before the others realized.

[@joaofalcao9833]

amazing video!! can't wait for more!

[@chadbassig9801]

You're creatures and your process is much up my alley and I love them all! Also, adding the fact that some plans that we have in doing art doesn't work makes us feel very much invited into your art space. Despite the editing, it still feels human - accessible. Thank you for sharing your art to us. 🖤

[@raphfelix6305]

brilliant stuff man. love the energy you puttin out.

[@dredyrey]

The progress of working is amazing ty for the video !!!! Can´t wait for more :D

I enjoyed watching the idea discover itself. Well done, great first video! I look forward for more to come!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you :) So glad you enjoyed it

[@troy1870]

Really liking how you included all of the craziness leading up to the finished piece. Many artists prefer to only show perfection. Keep up the good work!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! The process of discovery is what's most interesting to me, so I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@kram9850]

[@neoparzival]

[@tamukuro]

I enjoyed all the process! Great Video!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you :)

[@jerrylewis9699]

You're work is very good, more exciting than what I've seen of others, and yes it's time consuming, but worth it! I've done sculpting!

[@Minecraftattic4u]

Sure hope you have more videos coming. Really enjoyed your skill, sense of humor and the "process" of creating a scene. Kudo's on a GREAT first video.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! Hopefully I can get the next one out in a couple weeks. Sculptures's done. Just gotta edit the video, haha

[@karlelandler1379]

Gosh Love that work ! not into sculpture but really enjoy to see the process behind it. Great background by the way ! Strength N Honor !

[@4Mayhem]

So much ART Art! Sculpting, videography, narration, music! A terrific trip down the spillway of your creative process to a most welcome destination - a beautiful/terrible dichotomy taut with desperate and courageous action. The epic sculpt is matched by the equally epic story of its evolution, I wouldn’t change a thing in the sculpt or your video of it - your instincts are excellent! ..Amazing work! I mashed that like and instantly subbed. Thank you!

[@ArtChongArt]

You're very kind, thank you :)

[@zacchie]

That is some serious talent right there, amazing work.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you :)

[@teethxqueen]

i think this is so cool and so impressive! the amount of effort you put into every step is admirable, and your personality and editing style are awesome!

[@wondercatland5286]

I love your works. I like the way you explain how your creations grow up. You are good to teach us the study of composition. Good job ❤️

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you Laura :) i appreciate the kind words

[@mattpiano08]

I just love your art work! Brilliant! You are a great inspiration! ❤️👍🏼

[@ArtChongArt]

Haha well thanks for checking up on me. Maybe you are psychic indeed

[@massysm]

Daaang, so much talent! You sculpt beautifully!!!!!!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Varrbariouss]

Great quality video, cant wait for more!!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you :)

[@EMCreativeWorks]

Awesome! I like the way you drive the viewer through the work (I was actually fascinated).

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Next one is coming soon!

[@ChaoticDemon7]

Glad i came across your video. I love seeing the progress and the ideas flowing. Very talented 🖤

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you, you're very kind :)

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

Amazing! I like you talking through the process.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you!

[@studioworx]

You are compleatly mad in a fantastic way. I want more entertaining sculpting videos from you :-)

[@judith.s4223]

WAIT your first video?!? This is absolutely amazing!! I love your sculpture and the way you showed your thought process but I also loved your editing and humor :D Your channel is going to be a big one, I'm sure of it :)

[@ArtChongArt]

It would certainly be nice if the channel got big, haha. Thank you for watching and for your encouragements!

[@camilocardozo4426]

Great work !, that's the real life of a sculptor ! keep on making more videos.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you, I will! Next one should be out in the next couple weeks (I hope :D)

[@nikkiegonzales7199]

I like how Logical & unique your artwork is...👌

[@ArtChongArt]

Thanks Nikkie :) you're very kind

[@brunoconstantino5166]

I loved the way you talk with us, I hope to see another video!

[@ArtChongArt]

soon! :)

[@mycake1515]

Your stuff is awesome man. I can tell you are having fun :D

[@ArtChongArt]

only when sculptures aren't falling over, haha

[@warmfuzzy1]

Awesome skills. Both with scuplting and with presenting a video. You made this thoroughly entertaining. Thanks for sharing your process. I look forward to future videos.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@dahlbergt]

Really, really well done!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thanks!

[@animefrick919]

Love how you showed the actually process. I'm learning to sculpt now and I've learned so much from this video. Most videos I see skip around due to editing

[@ArtChongArt]

Wow I'm so glad to know you got something out of it! Candidly, I was just hoping to share the creative process, but this works too! Hope you'll enjoy the next video as well. It's coming soon! XD

[@rachela1170]

Just found your channel - so amazed by your work already and as an amateur artist I enjoyed listening to your creative process and seeing all the "failed" ideas (which is such a big part of the process). I think you had a very good balance of details (commentary and designing and execution). Personally would have enjoyed more clips of the detail sculpting :). Def a subscriber now :) also amazing work!! Seriously such a stunning, dynamic piece!! :)

[@King_Kevin651]

Bro ur hella talented, keep them videos coming

[@ajuwaaa]

I really loved this video. I love to write stories and I did practically the same process of creation you did, and to watch the things I know of but subconsciously do in another perspective, with someone else's perceptions of world, culture and everything,, is super cool to watch! I truly think you should keep showing your ideas and the process, it adds a lot to the video and you're someone so very creative! Loved the video from the bottom of my heart

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! I really think the creative process has more similarities than differences across the various mediums, writing included, of course. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@HSRMF]

just Wow ! that's impressive

[@marko_g_korenski]

I liked first one very much,but the second concept is also really really good! Artwork is AMAZING! 👌🤩

[@elnasty6730]

This is awesome! Looks and sounds great

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you :) I certainly trust your ears, haha

[@generallettuce9437]

please keep making videos your amazing! i loved it

[@ArtChongArt]

That's the plan! Thank you for watching!

[@lynnelewis9605]

Wow just amazing love his face.x

[@ether287]

I am thinking more and more about trying sculpting. Guys like you, Dr. Garuda, Sculpture Geek and the others are so inspiring! Thank you for this vidéo, the format is really great! Can't wait for the next one!!

[@ArtChongArt]

Haha, wow, that is some good company to be mentioned along side. Thank you so much, and hope you enjoy the next one. It went up just now!

[@cunninghamjb]

Great work!!! Love getting insight to your thought and design process. You got a new sub. Really looking forward to more!!!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thanks JB :)

[@synthiasbt4009]

Was a nice video of sculpture !

[@suname3199]

This was such a good video I hope you keep uploading !!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you. I'm almost done with the next sculpture. Hope you enjoy that one as well :)

[@primadhiphandhuamphai5463]

This was very interesting to watch. I really liked seeing your creative process change and develop, and I hope you will include more sculpting footage in your next video! I just started sculpting very recently and found your video in my recommended, and I think it’s helped me with visualizing my ideas and finding new techniques that I could use. Please continue to make more videos! :D

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! I've only started sculpting about a year ago myself. I'm in no position to teach but I'm glad sharing the process helps :)

[@CrownVictoriaNYC]

Love the intro!

[@mansourarablou9995]

Great piece of work

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you kindly

[@leevespa4564]

Think you got it spot on 👌

[@sinfalacias2009]

Wow! you're amazing. Subscribed and thousand likes.

[@iankuznicki8020]

Hey! Just found your channel about two days ago and I instantly fell in love with your content. I love the passion that you put behind each project and your comments detailing the thought process on each piece. It really inspired me to try and do the same for some personal projects of mine! I hope you are enjoying yourself while doing these videos and I look forward to seeing more pieces from you in the future!

[@leigh-anncash1123]

Art, that is amazing!!

[@ArtChongArt]

Omg Leigh-Ann!!! Thank you!! Hope you’re well ❤️❤️

[@ThunThunChannel]

This is so beautiful!

[@ArtChongArt]

aw thanks :)

[@culturainutil861]

Very nice video my friend, u are very talented. Keep at it!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! I will

[@patrickdoyle2510]

Greetings from Toronto. The sculpt is amazing, obviously. At least as important, though, is the fact that you reveal the challenges associated with coming up with a viable composition. I love the fact that you're willing to change, jettison ideas that are incongruous etc. I would find it easier to draw it all out in a sketchbook, but whatever works for you. For my part, I'm getting into sculpture this year in support of my oil painting, and I'm looking forward to coming back to your channel whenever you put up more content, so....GET TO WORK! More content, please. Happy New Year. Stay safe and healthy and all the best in 2021 and beyond.

[@ArtChongArt]

Greetings from L.A.! Thank you very much, though I don't know if it's so "obviously" amazing, haha. I find it helpful to compose directly in clay because it allows me to constantly keep an eye on the composition. Plus it's fun :) Everyone has their own process indeed.

[@SoulfulSmokie]

This is a beautiful piece

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! :)

[@joon8852]

Amazing sculpt! Such a roller-coster if emotion when (and before) the sculpture fell... It's really insightful hearing, and seeing, your creative processes. Love your video. Thank you Hot Thai Kitchen for bringing me here!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you and welcome! I'm happy to know you enjoyed it :)

[@mightytoothpick]

immediately subbed and liked and cant wait for new videos keep up the great work

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! Next one actually just went up, haha.

[@BluuBird2]

Very late to the party here (but glad I ended up on your channel anyway, your work is gorgeous

[@redleader6144]

Love the editing you are hilarious, amazing skill as well subscribing for sure

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you Red. I'm trying my best!

[@lopestony82]

you are amazing ❤

[@shanesaitz5609]

Besides your figures being totally awesome and gives me something to aspire to, your use of form and design is amazing. The way all the pieces flow together and the lines and curves are awesome.

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you ☺️ I’m so glad you notice the flow… it’s one of the things I really attention to in my compositions

[@zon681]

this is so awesome wow

[@justin42230]

this is amazing for your first video

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you. I’ll keep trying my best :)

[@brittg9987]

aaaaah when you dropped it, oh nooo, i feel your pain! i've done that so many times too, its the WORST... anyway, your editing is super smooth, you and your captions are a ton of fun, and seeing the creative process was really inspiring!! can't wait to see more!

[@ArtChongArt]

Thank you! Next sculpt is coming soon!
