Sculpting Mads Mikkelsen - Timelapse

[@EbroinSong]

When I was sculpting this on October 2019, the game hasn't been released yet, and there was very few reference about him. So many details are probably wrong, and I did my best using what I had.

[@XZasCC]

That makes this even more impressive, fantastic work

[@deadpooleo18]

What a mad-lad

[@MrSaintpit]

Your amazing!

[@MuhiBashir]

I am beyond impressed at your level of detail...excellent work! On a different note, what's the name of the track that starts at 16:05?

[@TheAnatomica]

All perfect is looking so extremly nice. You must have little gods in your fingers.

[@fluff_thorrent]

9:40 - Make a circle 9:47 - Now draw the rest of the owl Holy shit that is insane, great job!

[@walterF205]

LOL I did your exact same reaction, same words ... then scrolling through the comments found yours from a previous month, so I deleted my comment, otherwise it looked like a copy / paste. Hilarious moment, dropped jaw for an incredible artist.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

"So, what tools do you use to create these highly detailed, accurate, life-like figures ?" "Erm... now let me think,.... a toothpick, a sanding block, and oh yeah ..... a hobby knife".

[@SrStakeholder]

Actually, knowledge is the most important tool.

[@ryancarrell3186]

hey man, a hobbyknife is one of the best, most useful tools I've ever used.

[@amassasa]

[@MikeS-um1nm]

As an artist/ illustrator who also builds military dioramas and does a lot of figure painting and customizing, I've had to sculpt body parts to make custom soldiers, to fit a particular scenario. I KNOW how difficult this is, and how much skill it takes. I have always had the GREATEST RESPECT for the sculptors who produce these miniature masterpieces. This figure is nothing short of a masterpiece and is one of the most accurate depictions of an actual person that I've ever seen. It's hard enough to sculpt a convincing human head, but to capture a likeness like this, is simply breathtaking!! I use already existing hands, heads, weapons and equipment, and sometimes have to sculpt the body and clothing, using brass wire and milliput putty. Capturing convincing folds, pockets, buttons, lapels, collars, etc., in 1/35th scale is very, very tedious. This looks much larger. I'm going to guess around 1/16th scale?? Fantastic job! I subscribed instantly upon seeing this. I never heard of Ebroin's Miniatures before and I'm so glad I came across this. My hat's off to the sculptor. Absolutely beautiful work. This is nothing short of Michelangelo's Pieta!!

[@steves8482]

Speaking as someone who has trouble sculpting ejection seat cushions, this is god-like - amazing talent you have there, beautiful work. And filming it as well! Thanks for sharing, brilliant stuff.

[@herrmefo3804]

I paused the video at 9:45 to admire the amazing detail and precise work on the gun and then 3 seconds later you made my jaw drop to my knees. Amazing work!

[@mrcllz]

The gun by itself its a piece of art, amazing job

[@BASE5NYC]

I had to rewatch the gun part 5 times.. I still don’t know how you made a perfect looking AR out of scraps of plastic. The sculpture is a whole other level…I don’t even know what to say…. Amazing.

[@Luna3141592]

As an artist (and generally very curious person), I feel like a lot of the stuff that seemed like magic to me as a kid has been demystified. eXCEPT FOR SCULPTING. HOLY SHIT. WHAT?? THAT'S AMAZING!

[@DSSkala]

I'm legit BLOWN AWAY... ...thiis is the first video I watched about miniature sculptures that KZbin pushed as a Recommendation. I would not have watched it if it wasn't Mads. You got me! xD

[@TheDgdimick]

I just spent a bit over 21 minutes being thoroughly entertained, Your work is unbelievable, thanks for sharing it.

[@JensAndree]

We all knew already that were are a fantastic modeller and sculptor before making this video but here I think you've taken it a step further than before and produced some of the best sculpting I've ever seen - and I've seen a lot! I'm a pretty descent modeller myself but sadly I wasn't gifted with the artistic skills required to sculpt organic objects. My artistic gift was music. You have such a phenomenal talent as a sculptor and you show that with skill you don't need any fancy tools - just a toothpick. ;) I want to say thanks for sharing your amazing work, be it sculpting or correcting wonky scale model ships - they all have the same hallmark of quality! Simply awesome work!!!

[@EbroinSong]

Thank you very much for the comment! I am glad you like works. =)

[@melodyssketchbook5703]

My mouth legit dropped when I saw you sculpting the pants. It’s so convincing that it’s fabric and it looks so soft!

[@AllyCooperTadeudz]

This is insanely good. I yelled at my screen a lot during this. Mostly OMG and variations of that. 👏👏

[@Rroff2]

I'm not easily impressed... quite the opposite... but those first 3-4 cuts going from what looked like a child playing with clay to suddenly having the definition of a proper head was mind blowing.

[@Tensai0]

damn, that's cute though

[@danielwhyatt3278]

Same here. You immediately feel like, this is just impossible. Really demoralises you.😂

[@chingphebe7371]

At 1:13 in the video, I could recognize Mads' key features. And that is supremely impressive that you can make a figure with the most minimum of details and still capture the face. I don't know of anyone, nor have I ever seen anyone with such ability to recreate it with this likeness in such a short amount of time. Most sculptors I have seen usually take until they have the eyes and wrinkles detailed in, or even later when they start adding hair. This is incredible. You have quite a gift in you.

[@burntbybrighteyes]

Amazing, really wish I could do these things as well as you. Really does blow me away how on KZbin and other entertainment sites people with sites that do dumb things like fart jokes or pranks on people can get millions of hits and have just as many followers( got to say I’m to blame as well I watch stupid things as well) but it’s people like you who have this awesome skill and can create such beautiful artistic stuff like these sculptures you do who really should be getting all the likes, hits and followers. See on KZbin who like you who do things that most of us can’t do but only wish we could and the site that has a reality type show that anyone can do with a camera if wanted are the ones that get the most views. Really does boggle the mind at times but like said I to watch those goofy sites at times to. But man do I truly appreciate the things you can do with your hands, mind, imagination, and time. Really is a blessing you were given and happy to see you sharing it to people like me who could only dream of doing what your doing. Keep up the great work.
