can you do freaky Fred from courage the cowardly dog?

This brings back so many memories. The best kind of nostalgia. I love this movie

Willy Wonka, the Child Catcher from “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He always scared me. Flying monkey from OZ.

[@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%.

Ooo good one!

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

[@istruggletoexist6341]

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

[@spacechimp5141]

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

[@lukegerst6119]

nightmare < corpse bride. Just sayin.

[@MistyForest0034]

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

[@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

[@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)

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@dirtyjeepgirl3774]

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

[@vespine4203]

This is childhood fan service

[@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

[@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

[@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 👍🏻❤

[@miippi]

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

[@u.k.1207]

YES please!

[@polythenepam3236]

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

[@polythenepam3236]

Love how the mayor turned out brilliant as always

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@taniyahhoward8934]

I love this so much. The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite Halloween and Christmas movie. This is literally the video I needed today. Thank you so much 🎃❤️

[@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?

[@pristinepastel]

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

[@KellyHalsey11]

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

[@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…

[@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!

[@franklybizarre3473]

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

[@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.

[@abbylajeunesse8498]

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

[@diamondsandthings]

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

[@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. 😁👋💖

[@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!

[@amyovard4817]

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

[@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 😁

[@lynnbarclay4241]

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

[@heathermertz1487]

That’s cool but next plz do lock shock and barrel their my favorite characters from nightmare before Christmas !!!!

[@otonalbunny]

when i first started watching ace of clay, i always thought he was saying "bacon bond" and i was like, why is it called bacon bond? and it took me like,, two whole months to realize he was saying BAKE AND BOND......

[@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.

[@szeligamszeliga2414]

Love the Video, I recommend what you should sculpt next considering were in the mood of Halloween is "Sir Daniel Fortesque" from the game Medievil. I believe that would be a good challenge for you and a awesome sculpt.

[@DanSinclair678]

it would be really cool if you sculpt the three vampires from The Nightmare Before Christmas or Santa from that movie :)

[@SubbieNautica]

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

[@Rikergremlin]

You should do a series of horror film evil villains that have a series through them like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street

[@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 :)

[@sarahl9545]

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

[@tylerjones2604]

Every heard of how all the characters in nightmare before Christmas died looking up you can’t un see it afterwards like the mayor died from a broken neck that’s why his head spins and zero was electrocuted so his nose lights up like a lightbulb

[@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!

[@DrJCoy18]

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

Dude it'd be awesome if you tried to sculpt a deltarune character.

[@cichlidaquarist]

Omg do Victoria’s dad from corpse bride, i really love your sculptures

[@jeromeishere8902]

Would love to see the musical version of beetlejuice at some point, i love the texture on that version of the character

[@mrprettykitty4634]

Can you do the tree from nightmare before Christmas or The mountain with the moon behind it as like I set peace with Jack Skellington on it

[@Necroherz]

I hope one day you can make "The Other Mother" from Coraline 👀❤

[@sagebrooks6907]

I was nervous about how you was going to do the school head but great job as usual Anthony always love your work

[@JacksonH8r]

Your art is always so amazing, can I suggest Kagekao or SCP-079 next? Or maybe Wednesday Addams?

[@Notthepickles]

He should do Monster House! Also amazing work

[@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!

[@krystalquinton6711]

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

[@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!

[@0z0nedwellerproductions5]

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

Can you perhaps sculpt figures from "The Walking Dead"? Maybe Michonne, Carl, Judith, Negan, a Whisperer or any kind of "Walkers" /zombies?
