Based on this version of Bowser, a Fury one would be cool as nightmare fuel assuming he's realistic.

I remember my art teacher telling me to paint yellow over a pink base. You might want to test it sometime. Makes the yellow look so rich and doesn't take as many coats!

[@dawnchesbro4189]

And paint gold over red as a base coat. Gives the gold luminance

Observations made while watching this: 1. I never noticed how much Bowser's face was more of a "big cat" shape than the presumably turtle/tortoise he's supposed to be his until his nose and mouth were isolated. I've been playing Super Mario since the original SNES version, how did I never see how cute and boopable Bowser's nose was?!?! 2. That subtle hyperbole joke at the beginning was **chef's kiss** 3. Despite watching Adam create clay sculptures from scratch for the last two years, I still have no clue how he can estimate the size of nails/teeth he needs to make ahead of the sculpture, even if he does it in the middle of the build. I have realized that I will never understand anatomy and it's a good thing I'm not a sculptor. Or a doctor. 4. I'm genuinely so proud to have been watching this channel long enough to see Adam's progression in his techniques, skill, abilities, and creativity in general. It's like watching a child grow into his calling and this channel is my visual comfort food 💚 5. This build is absolutely, fantastically, unequivocally, amazingly, and undeniably awesome.

[@acousticeel9695]

Binging these has gotten me into and taught me a lot about sculpting. I’d have never thought about trying half the techniques you show on this channel lol

[@dirtywhitellama]

The art is great, but I think this is the biggest reason most of us are here.

[@chrisacker499]

This is super fun! Now we just need a monstrous, horror version of Bowser...perhaps crunching on a certain pair of brother's body parts. Gore running down his shell in the front, claws appropriately gore-ified, all while oozing menace whilst still rocking that orange doo. Great work as always Adam. Not always a fan of the subject, but I am always a fan of the effort and end result. :)

[@k7l3rworkman97]

Totally could’ve accommodated for the head with a Massive shell, but this came out AWESOME 💯🔥 Bowser has always been my favorite Nintendo character. As well as Yoshi and DK 🙌🏻 *Well Done Sir* 😄

This looks absolutely incredible! The use of the cotton wool and the Eddison filament for Bowser's flame breath is an amazing detail! And all the colouring and little details really brings him to life! Amazing work! ❤❤

[@oxxusthebim]

Check out Boylei Hobby Time. He’s the king of this technique!

[@stoicbeetle]

I love the legendary alliteration, and the lovely lyrical laid-back words. Its quite a tasteful takeaway of tedious technique. But it really highlights the hobby and helps the home made aesthetic.

[@DonsArtnGames]

You have created another GREAT sculpture. I'm really inspired by how far you've come. In previous videos, when you created a "realistic" piece, it frequently looked like something from a horror movie or low b-rated movie. The Bowser here looks like something I would see in real life and it still maintains it's frightful nuances without seeming like it's from a horror movie. GOOD JOB!

[@canadasyrup2125]

I think the goal of previous realistic sculptures was to make them look horrifying

[@NachtCaraticus]

Gotta say, of all the methods I've seen to make fire for miniatures/sculptures, that wire-and-cottonball method is BY FAR the best. And you kept the paintjob on it light too. It looks downright photorealistic. Another one excellently done!!

[@wAwCreator]

This is a unique and creative work, it helps viewers have a new look at the Bowser character in the Mario game.

[@nikolassilva8529]
