same, I am so forgetful I don't know how I manage to finish anything I start haha

[@Tiffany-6910]

I think you’re one of my favorite art channels. I appreciate that you’re not loud, overly produced or gimmicky. You’re just a genuine guy, sharing what you love with the rest of us so we can get that vicarious kick while learning something along the way. I appreciate your format and your presentation style!

[@artistic_mars]

Agree, he's so cool! His videos are so relaxing too =)

[@mistalina13]

This project looks so AMAZING. 🌟 For yarn hair I've seen lots of doll artists use a wire pet brush if that helps. The wires in it are much finer and closer together.

[@snowpuppies1]

Like a slicker brush

[@siead]

to add to this, unravelling the twist helps too. then you get two or three easier-to-brush strands instead of one harder-to-brush.

[@SynasterHax]

Yarn fibers are about four inches long, so completely untwisting and brushing them out would have made a much shorter beard. I think the method that Ace used was just fine. Besides, it made the beard look a little matted which adds to the look. 😊

[@Jessielude]

Yessss. I legit couldn’t watch as he ssscrrraaaped the wire across the table. Such heebie geebies, lol. Like nails on a chalkboard. Anyone else??

[@SynasterHax]

@@Jessielude lol same. Then again, I don't know what surface WON'T make that kind of noise with a metal brush.

[@alicebailey1314]

As someone who watches Dollightful all the time; when it comes to hair she usually says to make the lengths of yarn double the length of what you need for the wefts, as a rough guide, because of how much you brush out. She also uses a pet hair brush which works best for brushing out yarn. But this was amazing! I love this Krampus!

[@sandraleeluchsinger9619]

Bambi, this is the first time I have seen Ace of Clay - amazing. He should check out Hextian on his way of making wefts of hair. Amazing doll/sculpture…..

[@StellaBella488]

Gonna go ahead and subscribe to Dollightful and Hextian. I’m just getting into this kind of art and I’m a bit obsessed. Great suggestion

[@Friendstoyourend]

Both are seperate people who do things their own ways

[@Friendstoyourend]

My point is Anthony, is allowed to do things his own way and shouldn't be told to do it the same way Also these were the only times he used yarn, Dollightful and Hex are doll customizers meaning they work with it all the time, it's like telling someone who only grew lemons twice but mostly grows apples to grow their lemons like 2 seperate popular lemon growers

[@joneuniquew.3877]

@@Friendstoyourend he referenced Dollightful to make hair but he may not have actually seen the process, he just seen what was used really quick. Which is why the original commenter brought up her full process

[@TheSpookySculptress]

There’s nothing you can’t do I swear ! This is freakin AWESOME Anthony!

[@tanyapoe5490]

Poppen Atelier makes doll hair out of yarn often and the way she does it is so effective. You should maybe watch some of her videos if you ever do this kind of thing again.

[@dothebunnyhop4026]

You've made an artdoll sculpture, and I'm in awe. The dirty grimy details, the chains, the expression, and the fabric-! There's something special about using multiple media in projects. Maybe it's the texture or the realistic appearance! You absolutely nailed it, man!

[@sphere7158]

More Christmas monster, please

[@alphagamma19]

The Yule Lads!

[@1525kat]

THIS IS OUTSTANDING! I do a lot of Krampus items and I love this head - another new great look. A tip about Stiffy - it is simply watered down PVA glue (we often use it for cheesecloth ghosts). Mod Podge just has an extra chemical. Your problem was the fabric - neither like polyester, prefer natural fiber (cotton). Another tip - put your liquid in a ziploc bag and put your fabric in (uses less than a bowl), squish it around to saturate and then pull it out using the top edge as a squeegee. This keeps the mess less! Thank you for all your work, techniques, lessons and just flat out great entertainment!!!!!

[@makeapathpresents]

That's awesome!

[@caniusdirus]

As a person who isn't -super- into Christmas, I will gladly make an exception for Krampus. He's perfect btw. Well done! Hope the epoxy sculpt didn't give you too much trouble like it did while sculpting the dragon head.

[@lechatbotte.]

More nightmares before Christmas, hee hee. It’s great that you show how much time and effort goes into these pieces. Don’t think some people understand all the time involved. This is epic!!! a great job.

I love this! Your little side eye was hilarious while you were squeezing the paint out. 😂 The different angles, the sculpture, everything about this video was amazing. It kept me engaged and waiting for the next step. 💜💜💜💜

[@seanwallace1700]

This is cool, I would really like to see a full bodied sea serpent or kraken (full bodied as in showing the entire body, no parts of it under water).

[@Zoe-Eves]

Love the fact you point out the lint in the clay, I can never keep my clay clean either, so that and you saying you are nervous about painting him is so brilliant, it just makes you more grounded and reassuring to other artists. He is awesome, ah those hands! His coat, the whole look of him is brilliant, love him 😮

[@ariahazelwood3842]

I had no idea you could sculpt at this level!! I joined at the mutant series so I've never seen anything like this. It's amazing 🤩

[@Phenominis]

Man, every figure you make is a pure masterpiece, but this one takes the cake for me. So much intricate detail on such a large scale model, it's just too cool!! Well done!!

[@tahsyr]

He is stunning! The details are intense, he is so creepy! You did an amazing job, we are proud of you too ❤️ Seeing the struggle with the yarn I suggest next time trying needle felting wool (merino specifically) because it is already smoothed out and can be matted easily between your fingers for texture. Also, this did not feel like a long video, it was fascinating to see your process ❤️

[@oneeyedartist7343]

You’ve been hyping this up so much, I think that it will be super cool!

[@aaronhelms3446]

Every time Anthony does mixed media it becomes a breathtaking sculpture. I love it.

[@BB-TheCandleFairy]

Yessssss! The shadow of St.Nicolas! I love the Krampus movie so much, it was the first horror movie I’ve ever watched, and I’ve been able to convince my family to make it a Family tradition to watch it every Christmas season! Also, a fact about the movie: It was based of of movies like Dark Crystal, Gremlins, and The Labyrinth. (So everything is puppets!)

I’ve been waiting for this day!!!!!!!! Krampus is my favorite character like ever! It would be an amazing spectacle to see you attempt the jack in the box from the movie

[@saraestridge3183]

[@TheCrippledCrafter]

Re the hair/beard: You needed to take apart the wool to start with. Ya know, how you said it is made of more than one smaller twisted thread.... untwist that first.... THEN brush it out. A wire pet brush is best because if has finer teeth. That said, you did awesome! Just trying to save you time going forwards. x

[@Steven_Andreyechen]

Cool sculpture but the thumbnail is incredibly misleading. It’s about a quarter of the size it is in the thumbnail. Very disappointing. For actual size: 46:16

[@bozo1118]

what's with the clockbait thumbnail?

[@samanthadean1083]

Krampus turned out fantastic!!! But he should be holding one of the bells that he leaves!!! Could you please make his evil elves? Or the creepy Jack in the box? Also, I would love to see you make the rest of the Dragon!!! 🐉

[@HyperionBorg]

Really enjoyed this video but have a couple of suggestions for you: I think Krampus needs A few details such as a chin, a large wicker basket for tossing bad children into and some birch branches clutched in his left hand that he uses to whip the feet of the children as well. If you are a die-hard Krampus Fan then you will probably want to add a snake like tongue also. For ease of creating the hair pick up a draw card called a Hackle. It will make creating any hair you want a bit easier. Nice work here! If you are interested in more "Cloth Mache'" I highly recommend you take a look at Dan Reader's Book "The Simple Screamer". Quick question: Can you please tell me the make of the larger sculpting tool you use with the brass elongated ball on one end and the brass pointy on the other? I can almost make out the brand on the handle in the frame of your video where you are inserting the unpainted horns but not quite. Thanks!

[@genevievejones4661]

Dollightful uses the thicker version of the thin yarn you used. I think it is called acrylic yarn. Not sure. But you did awesome with krampus regardless!!! I love it. Oh and a pet flea comb works wonders to come out the yarn.

[@behemoth3562]

You my friend are on another level of creative genius. I have a question: can polymer clay be molded in plaster? And if so what type of plaster?

For the yarn hair you need to separate the strands before your start brushing it.
