[@arthana8127]

He is the one of the 4 knights of the Monster Making

[@williamsharek5085]

This is the FIRST time I am subscribing to a web-site. I must admit that these videos are wonderful.... entertaining as well as instructive in a step-by-step way. At age 66, you are encouraging me (a former accountant) to do something I have wanted to do for the past 30 years.... express my creative side. Thank you.

[@eviledwin777]

Well that's awesome!! Thank you!!!

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

Hey Everyone! More Monster Labs on the way! What topics, characters, and techniques do you want to see us delve into? Thanks so much for the feedback!

[@Mirraco311]

DistortionsUnlimited How about making a skin for a head of a large creature prop. The process of making the skin with a mouth that can be moved so later on you can drop it on a animatronic and have a mechanism moving the mouth

[@cre8vestudio]

I'd love to see how you make acuators and incorporate them into the sculpts for movement.

[@peterb.6991]

what type of clay are you using?

[@FortyFourAndGore]

Anything you want to! I love your channel!

[@stephanied1263]

Does the clay get hard when creating the plaster mold? Or does it stay soft? And I would love to learn more about painting techniques and what paints you suggest using. I know you've done a video on that, the Alien Zombie but I'd love to see you go deeper into painting the finished product

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

[@tokagehideto]

I'm impressed by the timing with the elevator intro of the video!

[@larryquisno5267]

It is nice to see pros at work

[@itzelgomez3089]

I remember watching your show around Halloween and it gave me a warm feeling of joy. I love Ed's personality and humor, so glad you're making these types of videos

[@uprisingvideos]

You are such a fun guy to watch and lots of great info! Thank you very much for sharing your work!

[@chunkskifarms3242]

Like a morbid Bob Ross. Loved it! Cool little monster.

[@dominiquenettles7823]

i miss the tv show you guys had

[@JTAHaunts]

Same

[@thelurkingfear5979]

I'd love to see a Monster Lab episode on making foam masters out of mother molds and how to make production molds off of those masters. That's something i've wanted to know how to do for awhile, and it's a topic that you don't see covered very often when it comes to tutorials like this.

[@crazybonehead1835]

It honestly is mischievously adorable.

[@FernandoHernandez-ov2fb]

Ed is the man, the myth, the legend! thanks Ed!

[@mari-atonjalkanen9920]

Maestro, you are as cozy as grandpa Walton!

[@onefeather2]

Seems like it takes a lot of strength in the hands to shape the clay. Love it, he is cute and scary.

[@babaganoosh1969]

You sir are the first in the world to ever make me face palm, shake my head, eye roll, then laugh my butt off at the crack joke..great tutorial

[@eviledwin777]

Ha! Thanks!

[@stephanied1263]

The first time I subscribed to your channel was back in 2016. Still a fan! Keep em coming

[@Merjedmedia]

Love ya Ed! You are an inspiration. Starting in your apartment.. you are one of the greats! I hope to meet you one day!

[@jimboflex6194]

Hi. What kind of latex do you use? Yours seems "foamier" than the slush mold latex I've used; the softness looks great.

[@camilookuinghttons2690]

i found this video by accident.......SO GLAD I did it! This is the very best lesson on how to make a two parts mold, and I will follow it in my "beginner sculptures" step by step! Thank you so much! I will let you know my results.

[@johnudesen8992]

Can't thank you enough for teaching this! I've been wondering how it's done. You're THE BEST!

[@3nertia]

Love these videos man! I love how you show techniques for the "common man" so to speak; please keep up the great work!

[@jodelflores9414]

I'm so glad I'm a Greeley native ..I'm so looking forward to Monster Day!! My new favorite holiday!!!

[@njahorror2154]

I am absolutely going to be doing this soon, and I am going to create my own props!!! Thank you for this awesome video!

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

You are so welcome!

[@luxembears]

Awesome video. I've been wanting to learn a two part mold. You explain every step.very well. Thank you . Oh, and I'd like to adopt your gremlin . :)

[@flintwick186]

I miss the show! So entertaining on So many levels, thanks for the laughs and knowledge!

[@WoM]

amazing lair you have there! Also excellent resolution, are you filming with a gh4?

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

Thank you! Yes, we are shooting on a gh4

[@LORDSofCHAOS333]

the gramlin is adorabole

[@MichelleEvans]

That gremlin is cute.

[@lynnebash2278]

I so enjoyed this video. I do jewelry. so making a two part mold like this is probably not something I will ever do , but it was fun and informative and I was also glad to see that you used the proper safety equipment. Thank you for the fun. Lynne

[@greenatom]

This process is so much fun to watch! Good luck Ed with all the Halloween orders.

[@JJ-Halloween]

I was thinking about making my own monster props, and I wondered what latex is the best to use?

[@reconrescue]

Good to see you again!

[@lizzykorwan]

is that a cake leveler he is using for cutting the clay ?

[@郝棒-y5c]

Wow that’s a nice gremlin ! 😮 I feel like it will also be nice if it is a yoda baby🥺

[@colinbird6436]

Shared on Facebook, awesome work.

[@MaskingSmiles]

Such a cute design.

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

Thank you! 😊

[@PinkiiDoesStuff]

Is the latex just regular Halloween store liquid latex or is it a specific latex for making props? All I know is I would definitely like to make some kind of critter with my monster-making skills. Mine are only ceramic monsters for now, I've been wanting to learn how to make this stuff!

[@nicholash1691]

No this is casting latex only used for masks and props while liquid latex is used for short term makeup effects

[@Warlord2029]

That was a great tutorial of explanation and details. awesome as always Ed.

[@glenbarefoot9856]

Beautiful piece!!!

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

Thank you very much!

[@OmBotCult]

Awesome! I'm going to celebrate Monster Day!

[@elijahgonzalez6697]

Im curios. Can u reuse the clay that was in the center of the scultping that was not in contact to the spray paint

[@TheDemonDeuce]

The little Gremlin is the official mascot for the Greeley Monster Day coming in a few weeks. Planning to be there along with Nightmare City Haunted House.

[@simonmireles2911]

Nice job mate

[@darkdimensionshauntedhouse]

one other thing, you pour latex inside the mold, but then the prop is hollow. Did you pour out latex?

[@eviledwin777]

Yes!

[@bluefeather7032]

very awesome, thanks for showing me what to look forward in making a mask

[@CobblemillHauntedHouse]

Thank you for this! I want to start making my own custom props and this looks like a great start! Would you recommend doing this if I were going to make a foam filled prop head (Not a Mask)? Also, how long after I sculpt the piece should I coat it with the spray paint? Another question I have is, would you recommend having one of those face sculptures to make a sculpt around or just start with a stick in wood and build out. I'm wanting to make a foam filled demented monster head prop. Thanks!

[@rickgraffitti]

Thanks Ed!!! I love your work! You are great man! I'm learning a lot with your videos! Here in Brazil we have nothing like this! Beautiful gremlin!

[@brandygoldey5361]

he's adorable!!

[@gamerplay8922]

That was awesome! I enjoy how you teach.

[@956fgarcia]

i enjoy the videos and very nice work

[@alejandrofelizx]

I love you !! Those videos are gold

[@dannyfdonahue]

So awesome! Thanks for making this stuff so accessible and easy to understand!

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

Thanks so much for watching and your support!

[@emilysclay9344]

fantastic work

[@crispin5741]

Glad I just stumbled on the channel. I was just thinking how I missed Making Monsters a few days ago. Subscribed.😎

[@lurdo777]

So if I wanted it to be solid could I spray great stuff inside before unmolding?

[@stevedela2399]

Just a superb video. Thanks so much for sharing x

[@farscape3100]

oh ok ..but thank you for all the time and effort you have put in to the video its nice of you to show us the whole process not many do thank you simon

[@darkdimensionshauntedhouse]

How many pounds of WED clay was used approximately on this gremlin?

[@eviledwin777]

20??

[@jeffnash5691]

Great tutorial! Thanks Ed!

[@beaverstaterich881]

Love the video Ed. It was great to see you at the West Coast Haunters Convention the other day. We will talk about those gargoyle wings.

[@birdy369]

Could you use an oil based clay, or wax? Reasons why you dont, or reasons why you might prefer this over those?

[@eldie3d]

I don't understand how the little critter came out hollow. Is it because you kept rolling the mold around so the silicone would just coat the sides? I thought when you poured it in you were going to fill it up and he would be solid. Is it hollow just because you only poured a little and rolled the mold coating only the inside walls??? Thanks!

[@chey7TH]

One of my favorite channels! Man, you guys are good at what you do, and so nice as well. Keep it up! I'm always looking forward to new content!

[@bridgettevasquez7561]

I love this so much. This is what i want to do for my career🙏

[@makemyclay]

Thanks for sharing! Awesome!

[@PsychoAxeMan]

ED IS BACK...... 👍👍👍

[@thiagodantas7979]

I love your videos like this are the best

[@TheMountainWulf]

How would you make it not so.. floppy anymore? Something like foam? If so, what kind would I use?

[@sciurrrus]

20:52 That sound... love it! ;-)

[@farscape3100]

hi excellent video ..but you said you filled the mould with latex yet you puppet is hollow ?

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

We fill the mold with latex, wait for a certain amount of time to achieve the thickness you want, and then dump and save the rest of the liquid latex into a bucket. You then let the latex that remains dry before pulling. We will do a specific video on that soon.

[@horrorhound8564]

Awesome Video Ed ! fun and so informational. Keep it up man , love your work.

[@kemp48]

like all your videos very good nice

[@artsculpture1024]

[@MetalDoraemon6]

[@CostumeForge]

Love these videos! So so helpful!

[@LegaZii]

Incredible work, love it ! keep the good work up ;)

[@HalloweenCrazyzombieyardcom]

Awesome Ed!!! sometime can you teach us how to do foam filled props? Thanks!

[@eviledwin777]

Yes!

[@adrianstanfill4070]

Where do you get the ideas of stuff in your head

[@joan_of_snark]

Wont the paint make some of the monster clay unusable?

[@jamesneely2371]

Pure Gold. Thank you so much for this demo. Meeting you yesterday at #MonsterDayGreeley 2018 was a privilege and an honor and encouragement to me even though I work mostly digitally for now. Regards and all the best.

[@eviledwin777]

Thank you James!!

[@odallys6962]

i love your work a lot !!!

[@jollylally5834]

I really liked this video... was a bit long but that's what the arrow keys are for! LOL :)

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

How come you didn't put a dam of clay around the bottom of the sculpture to hold in the plaster around the bottom better? Also burlap works great in place of hemp.

[@justinrad8659]

fantastic Sir

[@burbosha]

Доброго дня Каким спреем вы красите по глине?

[@LORDSofCHAOS333]

nice as alweys 😉

[@pcstudios3]

I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

[@shakma_X]

you are awesome sir

[@scarestudiostristenscreamz8849]

this is epic

[@Halocline]

More of the lengthy onessssss!

[@jordansailors6510]

"we like to use hemp whenever we can"

[@finn_wiegmann]

what latex do you use? i need good latex but dont know what one i should use

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

You need a mask making latex. We buy in bulk, 50 gallon drums but you can find good mask latex on Monster Makers. Also, check with Reynolds. We get a lot of materials from Reynolds and they are great at answering questions.

[@xxrebelgearxx4576]

could yall upload the full videos of some builds, i really enjoy watching builds and the process it takes. p.s. you are awsome and inspiring!

[@manbatshark8]

What kind of clay was used for sculpt the gremlin creature?

[@eviledwin777]

WED clay!

[@tabathaguillen3666]

Excelente!!! Bendiciones!!!

[@BearLeeGiveashit]

So is the clay garbage after painting it and molding it or do you pick all the paint off after?

[@magicmyth2635]

this video was sooo cool but the mini gremlin just does remind me of a baby version of a baby wormtale rathuman hybrid haha.:)
