I Made My Own HERO Character + Backstory! Meet "Graylock", The Bear Guide.

[@aceofclay]

What'd you think of the chill vibes in this video?? lol Let me know how you like The Bear Guide! What should I make next?? TikTok @aceofclay

[@sophialeemirandaakaprincess]

Chill vibes ❤ is cool

[@LunaBianca1805]

I love them ❤

[@dragonsfire286]

I love it Also I want to see a tiger guide

[@blood_star32]

just a thought but wat if there where 14 guides one of them was just cornuted afterwards he is a moth guide and the twin brother of the butterfly guide?

[@reginafetty6374]

I like the chill vibe and the bear guide. It would be such fun to make a haunted house with your creatures life-size. You need a book of these creatures and how they interact.

[@cariparkerr1_girl369]

I think Graylock and the Wolf guide are my two favorite guides so far. I REALLY like how protective Graylock is of humans and I love his backstory. You have such an amazing imagination… a fantastic storyteller. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🌸

[@LunaBianca1805]

I love the lore you built around these characters and adore their designs 🥰 They're like the perfect base for a multimedia project, I'm sure they work well in a novel - graphic or just written - setting as well, I'd love to read an interconnected story based on and inhabited by these characters just as much as I love watching you create them and hear you tell us their story ❤

[@-OneofManyNames]

I totally see this as a comic book series. That's also a good idea to. Earlier today I said it would also make a good cartoon series, but idk if people would like the idea. The graphic novel idea is also a good idea.

[@goldielockks8421]

I hope there is a comic book or mini series coming. I know you are incredibly busy, and I know I don't speak for everyone but so many of us have fallen in love with The Hidden World ❤️

[@sansskeletonreacts5823]

This one is by far one of my favorites of the guides. I’ve been watching your Hidden World Series since the first Mutant. They’re all so awesome. Graylock just gives me gentle giant vibes. Well gentle giant unless you’re evil.

[@Majesticwolfie]

When you was sculpting him, it's like you could imagine feeling his presence just by how you explained about his back story. He looks amazing ace! ❤😊

[@nickmilano2516]

Don’t don’t. Duh DUH nana don’t don’t duh DUH

[@samanthadean1083]

Anyone else really want to see him create The Entity? ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@singingrazors]

I live with this guy. We just call him Bear Father. He keeps us safe and makes tasty food.

[@HolyCowCreates]

So glad you've started doing backstories with your sculpts! You and Gameey are really inspiring me that way, I hope to start making my own world and uploading "Sculpts & Stories" videos from them as well! Keep up the great work, Ace! Your channel inspires.

[@TeddyCrafter84]

I love him! I have to admit I was disappointed for a moment that his name didn't follow suit with the previous guides (all having names beginning with 'W') but now knowing how many there will be, it makes sense that they wouldn't all keep to pattern. I seriously hope you get to write this story as a novel (or similar). Audio book would also be cool (could listen to your voice all day ^^ ) 💙

[@heatherblair2044]

The kids and I sit and watch your newest videos every week. We simply love hearing your stories and watching you make characters come to life. Keep up the excellent work you have been doing! 🥰

[@jessiegamer355]

You should really make audiobooks your voice is just mesmerizing 😌

[@CookieScrat]

This has to be my favourite Guide so far. I love the trop of the Big Strong Dude that is actually very kind and gentle. Also the music on top of his back story almost made me cry lol. Can't wait for the next Guides!

[@Wolfy00000]

I haven't done this in awhile, but imma make a character of my own, and since Ace made a guide, why not make my own. Midas, the Fox Guide, was a greedy man, and a very fortunate gambler/cheater through and through. But despite this and his seemingly stock-up, vain personality, he has an almost hypnotic way with words, being able to talk his way in and out of almost anything, and is surprisingly kind in his own, rough, way. "The Entity" grabbed him one day as he left a casino, wishing to make him a mutant controlled by his greed, but his will for his own riches and the massive amount of that rough kindness let him prevail, transforming him into a Guide. His White and black outfit (white suite, tie, and pants, black undershirt and collar) and suide shoes never seem to get dirty. His solid black fox mask with pure gold outlining its features portrays the wit, charisma, and intelligence he has gained from his transformation. Along with the standard minor strength and durability increase, he gained a massive amount of speed, being able to wip around and dodge most attacks while dealing damage of his own. Wounds caused to those tainted by "The Entity" flow with liquid gold, which he absorbs, earning him his name. He can use the gold collected to form weapons and items, as well as pay off death itself, sparing himself and others from its clutch. He talks with a very rough, but proper voice, the kind that can slip you into a sort of trance and makes you want trust him, despite his rugged personality.

[@InsomniacCrow]

Really Hope There’s a crow guide i feel its one of the coolest animals out there and seeing it as a guide rather than a monster even though its considered bad omen by some when it’s actually an intelligent, Graceful, Playful, and Beautiful Animal thats been Hunted wrongfully

[@CarinaD87]

This one was so cozy to listen to :) And Graylock turned out so great! Beautiful work as always 😃💪

[@jennylawson1980]

I love all your videos of your Hidden World but now having a backstory and narrative the characters have really really come to life 😊 Love them all ❤

[@tobilynnswarthout2690]

You are a Amazing Story teller and Artists.....thank you so much for sharing these with us....WOW👍✌‼

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Anthony, I am not sure if I ever mentioned this, but I really like your opening animation! The bouncing clay blobs into your Ace ofClay title is just awesome! I must say your storytelling is getting so good! Your an amazing sculptor and your videos are so professionally done, you have a gift for this combination of clay work and studio work too! So polished and professional I am just a bit envious, but you deserve any accolades that come your way! I am still longing for a Greek sculpture done on an established monster or spirit theme from that era. I do pester you about tree or nature entities, Satyr or similar creatures. I am enjoying these from your own universe and I am glad your continuing to create them too!

[@Koelied27]

This guy is the most creative and Intresting artist ever

[@lechatbotte.]

I love how you bring these characters to life. So much detail. I could see a story surrounding these characters for sure. I’m partial to the guides.

[@BlackRose-sg5re]

The bear guide is by far my favorite guide you have made. I love his design, but more importantly i love the story that accompanied him. I can't wait to see what you have in store for the next guide.

[@Vee_of_the_Weald]

You’re a fantastic storyteller, Anthony. Thank you for sharing your creative world with us.

[@mosura2695]

the guides are definitely my favorite characters out of all of your originals

[@tracye1866]

I think I love him most of all!

[@DoomaMasters]

I have to say that Graylock has to be my favorite guide yet

[@thecrowsnestcreations]

I love watching all your sculpts and I have to say I'm particularly fond of this guy's back story and the super chill music.

[@thriceXplus7]

One of the best videos you've put out! Great atmosphere, storytelling and obviously sculpting as well! Excited to see the Hidden World continue to grow.

[@thestudioofwonders2089]

No way…no way….NO WAY! ANOTHER GUIDE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! OH YOU MAKE ME SO HAPPY! YOUR THE REASON I LOVE TO PLAY WITH CLAY SO MUCH OMG PLS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

[@kate_c_]

Wow I love him, definitely my new favourite of the series!! The bear mask looks sooooo perfect, I love it! So excited to see the rest of these characters :D

[@psychosislove]

This is cool. I also really liked the music you used for this video. It was very entrancing and calming.

[@criticalchances]

So happy your still continuing this series!! I’ve been watching since the ice cream man

[@tammydenney6144]

I love this character. You are so skillful, both with your sculptures and their stories. Awesome job.

[@SilverWolf4216]

I really love this series. The characters, the backstory, the sculpting, all of it is really awesome. These videos are truly enjoyable and I appreciate all the work you put into the videos, the characters, and the story. ❤

[@oubliette88]

I could literally watch you scalped for hours...wait...I have! 😊👍 Love your work. Looking forward to the next 7 guides.

[@indianahoneybee8852]

Your voice, your movements and your story had me glued to the screen. Beautiful work 🐝

[@laurenvanderhoven9981]

the bear guide looks great and I love the series about the hidden world and I love the guides

[@deborahcorreale352]

LOVE the hero!!!! The story the sculpture this was great!

[@reeseploof3082]

All-time favorite. I am drawn to bears naturally, so I might be biased, but yep, my favorite.

[@danielsickelmore]

I love your imagination! I've been watching your videos since last year and have enjoyed seeing your ideas come to life. It is truly a pleasure watching your channel!

[@auntysmelly]

Nice tshirt!

[@tgnben]

I love when you make the Guides :) they're my favorites. I'm gonna be sad when all 13 are done

[@jacksondarden6786]

Can we please get more Guides and maybe an all guides T-shirt i just really like the guide characters

[@michelle_mitch_p]

I’m sculpting like a woman possessed and loving it ❤❤ the bear guide is my all time fav of all that you’ve created. Xx

[@ponyboy_]

Everything you create is wonderful.

[@miippi]

This is really cool. In my culture bear is considered a sacred animal, and it's one of my protectors. It's like a horoscope, my sign is bear.

[@daringdoombringer4014]

Proud to say I’ve been with the Hidden World since the very beginning, it’s so cool to see how the story has grown and evolved!❤❤

[@user-jr4dm7wm4c]

The backgrounds you make are just as wonderful as the sculptures. And the atmospher of this video really suits this guide's personnality. Can,t wait for more, the Hidden world is awesome.

[@JustToast963]

While I do miss you letting us know the materials you use and why, that being replaced with more story does make me so happy. I would love to see a blue jay guide. I’ve got such a soft spot for them, because they’re so brash and daring, and they will sass you for days. Maybe they were once that one kid at the park, with four or five band aides cover assorted scrapes and bumps that constantly yelled “look at me!” before jumping off a swing mid-air. Now they use their huff and puff to distract the mutants so the lost souls can get away. Outside of the Hidden World, maybe lesser known mythological creatures (I bet you would sculpt an amazing Nucklavee or Púca).

[@gracewashburn8276]

They came out really awesome. I’ve got a find out more about the story.❤

[@lachauntiswashington231]

He looks great. I like his personality and back story. I love to see these characters in a webtoon comic

[@joshiditesservellonacles7819]

That is super cool! If you ever get these figures casted in Resin or mass produce them somehow, you can certainly count me in for a pre-order of this guy!

[@nickimcpheehals572]

I really like the Bear Guide. Coolest one yet!

[@marvelous4363]

I believe given this character and his story he is my favorite so far of the mutant universe..we need more greylocks in real life.. love this ❤

[@sarahwilkinson3106]

He looks amazing, I like his back story and when you talk about the entity I wonder what it would look like

[@kingcloudgaming9210]

Been gone a min but so cool to see this all started over little nightmares

[@trainerlesseevee478]

I would seriously play a game with these characters in it, or read the story, watch the show, whatever it was involving these characters/stories 😍

[@thunderbirdsfan1039]

wow the guides are very kind and if I was a guide in the hidden world I was be a wolf guide always ready to help anyone in need

[@poweredbymoonlight9869]

One of my new favorites!

[@corinnemccaffrey3500]

I love this universe you’ve created! It makes me so happy to see a pure soul this time. Love it!

[@ponyboy_]

I love the music you use in this one. It really soothes my soul. And i really needed it tonight. Thank you Anthony❤ for creating this video so that i may have something at the end of the week to bring peace into my troubled mind. This video you crafted with your heart is like a BIG hug for me 🫂 thanking you Anthony, Devin 😇

[@lawrente]

I really enjoy your guides.

[@Wherethewindblows524]

Turned out awesome love the story!❤

[@Jute511]

Another great creation, and I love the music.

[@JSAbbott]

This is my favorite character yet. I am really impressed by your storytelling and sculpting.

[@jeannettesalazar6442]

Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Twinning763]

I really love your work and back stories to these creatures you make especially the one about the bear guide! Awesome job as always Ace of Clay!❤❤❤

[@amandagermany5933]

He's amazing!

[@colorwheel2003]

Winston and now graylock are my two favs. I got a Winston plush so ❤

[@damealeta3541]

Wow! Super cool character!

[@DessahLS]

I think this is my favorite character from the mutant universe for now, he's the gentle giant ☺️

[@Jessie_Bean]

I Love this ormat, I Love the story telling and you are so talented :) Thanks for the stories!

[@gwynterry]

Loved the chill vibes

[@missyb5255]

He's a gentle giant ... And I love him and his story ...

[@zanatees1481]

If you ever plan on making a snake guide, it would be pretty cool if they were Siamese twins or had two heads like some snakes have in nature. Love the mutant universe btw

[@1x1.studio]

Thank you for another amazing episode!! You're so talented, I love to watch you build all of the things!!

[@debbralehrman5957]

Another great Guide.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕

[@jessicastembaugh6260]

I love the story of the Bear Guide! So detailed and so magnificent

[@dickmcshan9778]

Wowzers! Incredibly well done. I like the fact that you have created a kinder, more caring character. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

[@aimeecreative]

Amazing job and love the lore!! I love the guides! Also PERFECT music for this!

[@Coolguy397]

and the background music sound good too :D

[@beckycaylor8365]

You are such a gifted sculpter! Thank you for sharing your talent AND wonderful stories with us! I adore the stories of your characters and look forward to a book series!

[@Artteach38]

Excellent storytelling and character development! Awesome sculpting too! I would LOVE to see some of your characters in more action oriented poses!! Keep it up brother!!

[@samanthaoddsweb]

how about an unusual animal as a guide, like a snake or spider. This would give it creepy but helpful vibes. love the video as always, you are an inspiration

[@kittenscorner6923]

At awe , I do believe this is my favorite one 😊. Your story telling is 💯. Can't wait for the next edition.

[@MusicIsLife8847]

Looove this character! His backstory is awesome! Only thing I’d change is that I wish you’d have kept his hair white.

[@Micca_]

Super cool

[@ponyboy_]

So awesome!!!❤😊

[@marliefishing]

Loving the vibes! Great vid.

[@billiejimenez4853]

I can’t wait for all those quizzes to come out like “which mutant are you” or “which guide are you?”

[@patricklamourea7323]

It would be really cool to see an animatic of the characters

[@FalcoPaola]

He's beautiful! Even though I gravitate towards creepy stuff, everytime you make one of The Guides, it makes me incredibly happy. They are absolutely magical :D

[@080892Carlos]

And the sculpture is amazing, I love his background story as well!

[@squeakatu1981]

Am I the only one here who would love to meet Greylock and go on a walk with him through a forest?

[@markshellard5894]

Love it ,Brilliant

[@allisonilene]

Too cute I love it.

[@LeanneRaine]

I love The Bear Guide!! I need a tv show inspired by this universe! Your new studio setup is still amazing. Also, I've been trying to sculpt a werewolf character, and watching you shape the snout for the bear really helped! I was having a rough time getting the shape from the bridge of the snout up to the eyes to connect without looking too wide and rectangular, but you banged it out in a way that is easy to understand. Thanks for the video!

[@amandawood1348]

So, does the evil entity choose their subjects due to their strengths but not their virtues? Would there have been a chance that Graylock wouldn’t have managed to come out as a guide but instead a mutant? Would recommend you read Chris Wooding’s ‘Malice’ and it’s sequel ‘Havoc’. Great book series that your Hidden World makes me think of, really excited to see the direction your world is going!

[@JustToast963]

I think Otto originally almost became a mutant, but The Entity couldn’t fully turn him. So he’s got horns, but ultimately became the raccoon guide.

[@henrywilliams6209]

It's really beautiful how you can make a story sound so peaceful. 😊

[@chriscoleman6956]

Wow great job
