I Make a Life-Size Light-Up Skull

[@alispagnola]

Anyone else notice the 3D modeling took so long I did it in 40 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS

[@courtneyveatch4207]

Ali - I may have an idea for you that could possibly help in your idea planning process.... could even be a series...

[@ThisHandleWasntTakenLOL]

@@courtneyveatch4207ooh what is it‽

[@elagnithgin]

Yeah, I noticed the subtle house tour

[@afg122602]

I'm a bit late to the game here, but why buy large calipers when you could 3d print them? That was literally my first 3d print even before a benchy.

[@Western_monk]

Im that Duolingo guy who keeps asking you to make a Duolingo themed car if you see this Ali spagnola please look at the jag car vid in your replies on your comment

[@BrandiR713]

The uncertainty you show is how a lot of us feel when we create. And so many YT creators don't show that feeling, so when we feel uncertain, we think it's wrong. Thank you for giving real emotions.

[@christopherbedford9897]

Yah so many YT videos show -> Problem -> Proposed solution -> Here's what I'm doing to make it -> Finished solution. Occasionally you'll get a brief recap of failed attempts afterwards but usually not.

[@andrewpaul4223]

6:54 from the struggle to the finished product is why I watch You figuring it out is the entertainment value

[@TracyLayden]

"Uncertainty is better than regret" is what I needed to hear today thanks Ali ❤

[@Mike-ob8km]

Really cool watching you grind through the 3D modeling. I love how it all came together in the end!

[@zenchilladas]

I suffer from a rare condition called SCDS or SCCD (Semi circular canal dehescience) basically I have holes in my temporal bone above my semicircular canal! People with SCDS suffer from things like hearing our own voice (autophony), hearing your eyeballs and heartbeat, balance issues, hearing issues, the list goes on! It’s an awful condition but I use every chance I can to raise awareness. Thanks for reading ❤

[@zenchilladas]

Also talked about in Greys Anatomy (S6:E22)

[@PhillipRaymondGoodman]

If you want a further chance to talk about it, Matt rose's catchphrase is SKULLEMOJI (always yelled in all caps)

[@alisaishere]

@@PhillipRaymondGoodman You're the first Matt Rose fan I've found in the wild. I hear Matt yelling SKULLEMOJI anytime I see the emoji.

[@giedriuskriauciunas2607]

@alisaishere that is so true

[@Kenkire]

I love watching the whole process. I would never skip. I learn so much. I'm a beginner to 3D modeling, so thank you for showing your work.

[@sgsax]

The real crystal skull was the friends we made along the way. Love this idea!

[@EJohnDanton]

Very cool - really liked watching it form from start to finish. Added bonus - a stylish place to hang your hat. 🤠

[@ryandowney9383]

Oof, the thinking "everything that happened until now is unexplainable magic and it will never happen again" about not having more ideas is SO REAL! No matter how much I create I still have those feelings.

[@3dartstudio007]

A stand for your thinking cap! Cool!

[@ashleywray5693]

Every single cut with a new location, is absolutely wild and incredible

[@GuilhermePalacio]

That's mind-blowing! You're so bright! 💀💡

[@kindra7066]

The way I audibly GASPED when the skull fell onto the floor, it looks awesome though! 😅

[@ImaginationzKey]

Okay, now that's really cool. And I'm glad that you upgraded your computer to help with the struggles of 3D modelling and running creative programs in general. Excited to see whatever wild and exciting thing you create next! Keep up the great work and thanks for the video, Ali!

[@Dragonslayer17.]

The fact that the light reflects so well is a BONE-us 😂✨️🩷🩷

[@malinhaglund4358]

ALI! There is no need to be nervous, we love u any way and u don’t need to go to sleep at 3am just so we can get a vid on time. We care more about u and the process than the outcome! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@imelimadame9244]

2:16 the last 2 days I have been 'waking up' from a pretty long depression fog and this made me tear up. Thank you for your art ❤

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

The way you blend creativity & craziness is why I'm glad to be a pants palley!

[@robrasti]

Either you are a great actor, or are truly revealing if your idea "Works" on camera; but either way, I really like seeing the look of pure joy when your idea comes together and you see it working for the first time.

[@thenerdfaraway]

I loved the "just keep going Spags" montage!

[@MonkeyofAwesome]

As someone who does CAD/ 3D modeling everyday, it’s away really fun watching your thought process and grind to make it work!

[@Mike-ob8km]

Every time I see how jacked you are I am motivated to work out, cool concept! I'm excited to watch

[@lookstoop8765]

Hay ale how about turning human dna into art I'll give you mine ? Oh if that means post motum I'm in

[@AtanaaTheCurious]

I have a lot of respect for the persistance it took for you to wrangle Blender into doing what you wanted. That is not an easy program to learn

[@jonscott831]

Wherever you are, whatever you're feeling, you're great to a lot of us, and that'll never change.

[@RaineyPuppeteers]

When you asked alexa and it worked I got a little teary I was so excited ❤ Love hearing about your thought process and learning about 'negative (sorry I forgot the other word'). Just keep going Spags 😊

[@IrinaGreenman]

Thank you so much for the honesty and reality of your videos, as well as for the delightful outrageousness of your art!

[@Blep-ah]

It's so cool! the light being on makes the skull look like it's melting!

[@michelle_mitch_p]

I am always optimistic that the end product will be epic and you never fail to make me happy and inspired. Keep going on going. Ideas will always flow ❤

[@paulkinzer7661]

The 40 different locations were such great glimpses into so many of the amazing ideas you've had in the past. You might sometimes have trouble coming up with new ideas, but, you always find the best ones in the end! I was about to write that this skull is the best one yet, but you show here just how much competition it has with all your others. And I'm really loving the concept you describe of skulls/skeletons being Micky-Mouse-like but free of copyright. That makes so much sense. As you say, we've all got one, and they're instantly recognizable. And they are also both beautiful and a bit creepy at the same time.

[@johnlee3619]

Super cool project Ali! The finish on that print was amazing too - as always, the highest degree of insanity wins!

[@TheEliseRodgers]

I like how this has become a positive philosophy channel. You rock, Ali

[@DDandBiscuit-3d]

The fact you can ask Alexa for an idea and it turns on it great! It would be a funny joke too.

[@firegirlh2o]

This is soo cool!! Also super cool to see all the different places in your house that you have transformed!!!

[@DrZiggy222]

Just wanna say I actually prefer it when you have obstacles and challenges and fails to overcome, makes everything you are doing that much more relatable ❤❤❤❤

[@W1ntaMint]

I have an idea!! make a lightbulb shaped dispenser and write down ideas you have along the day then put them in the dispenser then hit it when u need an idea (totally not saying this cause I tried to do it and failed)

[@civix1964]

While you may feel uncertain of a solution, through your immense creativity and competency, you are certain of your eventual outcome

[@miriam4235]

I love the casual past projects tour.

[@minaal-meznawi6845]

Uncertainty is way better than regret. yep yep, I'm learned to just trust the process. Even when I feel annoyed that something isn't looking right at the moment and wanna scrap it, I hold on until it at least starts looking fleshed out, or I find out what I did wrong. This way I don't have regrets about not sticking to it when I really wanted to try. I've had quite a few nice surprises that made the experience worth it that way.

[@gs4945]

So glad I found your channel. Always love your crafting of your dream ideas.

[@KingBanjo1217]

What an awesome SKULLpture!

[@shannanlindibanana]

You are genuinely one of the most inspiring artists I follow, I love your ability to look at something and see something else and then execute it every single time 🖤🖤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@johnutsler9310]

I like that the shapes and colors you've chosen are also reminiscent of an egg, symbolizing new beginnings.

[@kimberlyandrade2572]

The end was honestly so flipping cute

[@klchu]

Pleasing Margins is a great band name.

[@RavenSoupe5]

I think this is the most excited I've seen you about a successful project. Congratulations!

[@gfldex4772]

This is a very enlightening video!

[@Metalweregarurumon]

I can easily just imagine you needing an idea and just flicking it on and off while Christine watches from the distance in concern.

[@QuirkyGeek17]

"There's so much potential, I ran out of ideas." ALL THE DANG TIME >.< And "uncertainty is way better than regret." I need all these bangers as posters :D Love you and your great ideas Ali 🥰

[@sad_anime_girl761]

I love watching you work your way through these things! It’s amazing the way your mind works! I love a creative mind and yours is always creating!

[@jenniferbaldwin8811]

If you don’t have much ideas for later maybe you should make another rug. Those two rug videos are my favourite❤

[@vikingranch6377]

Humans are amazing in all their diversity. I’m a fit construction worker, and weigh exactly twice what you do. My skeleton may weigh as much as you do. And I work with people who are nearly another multiple bigger than me! (They mostly should be lighter than they are…) We’re all awesome! And you prove over and over how powerful small people can be.

[@SaveUs1776]

Love being a pants pali. Watching the struggle and then for you to execute it perfectly is so satisfying.

[@raegun]

You don't need to fill anything out. Select the faces of the skull, set normals to point out. Then the normals of the lightbulb inwards. Then combine the meshes.

[@alexdavis5766]

This is awesome. I am watching this whilst taking a break from editing a video for my relatively new youtube channel where I am teaching myself everything from scratch (on a budget too as no money yet). I often have the idea but no idea how to do it and your video has given me the power to go back to editing and keep persevering. Thank you.

[@hazzard_destroyer]

I love things that make life more like cartoons lol and this fits right in there

[@GalacticGoddess46]

ALI, oh my gosh, you are so creative!!!! Love this so much!

[@JCWren]

That was fun. When you said "Alexa, give me an idea", it triggered the Echo Dot in my office, who then told me that it was from the movie Wicked. Then it made a bad joke where the answer was "Spellcheck", but I didn't hear the rest of it because the dogs started barking because Alexa was talking and they don't like Alexa.

[@tracybowling1156]

I never imagine you failing. You are really smart!

[@RedmarKerkhof]

1:34 it's an ABcoat!

[@adamtousek7622]

This is the first thing you ever made that I would genuinely love to have at home. Awesome!

[@Daorf]

Printables (and/or Thangs) stays winning!

[@vsherbie]

The number of different backgrounds cracked me up!

[@sparo_art]

It looks strangely enough like an egg without a shell :o which I think is pretty fitting! An idea is something unfinished waiting to develop :D I adore your videos!

[@elliotmcbride3364]

Never stop making videos...please.

[@krmusick]

Your nerd voice never fails to make me smile.

[@AndyCPugh]

Erik is an amazing human being!

[@JohnR62]

That is sooo cool! I’m sure it is too expensive to market but I would have really liked one for my classroom when I taught biology.

[@Matrix_4]

Ali this is awesome you’ve done it again😂🎉😊❤

[@mzneonqueen]

Love you SPAGS!!! Thanks for being uncertain with us

[@xXCosmicDeityXx]

I found your channel through Sarah Renae Clark's new video (Button Starry Night) and can already say I love your channel and love your personality. I subscribed and I'm excited for more projects you come up with, hopefully the lamp with help you brainstorm and get ideas lol.

[@RealAndySkibba]

What a bright idea!

[@swordstone5334]

Ali you should find out how to share the model! And congratulations it looks amazing🎉

[@graywulf19]

I love this, and also when you said, "Alexa give me an idea" my amazon device heard you and blurted something about launching a rocket into space.

[@hhjones9393]

You'll always have ideas Ali! You're just made that way.

[@arcboy2011]

I was going to skip the adds until I saw how much that skull print cost! I can't afford the Paytreon but I can get ya some add revenue. Keep it up Spags this one is cool. I would paint the pole in chrome though.

[@BFT88]

This is so cool Ali!

[@random-person1]

if you leave the plug in when you are using your laptop it for the most strenuous work, it should work faster because it isnt trying to do more than it wants to

[@Tyrandir]

It turned out so well!!

[@beckyyy3427]

This is hella dope. As all you creation are ✨!

[@FeministHeathen]

Ali, would you consider making a skeleton based sculpture that maybe reflects a disability? I have limb length discrepancy and my leg and arm bones are different lengths on both sides. I would love to see more art reflecting those who are different

[@ThisRandomGuyYouDidntNotice]

as someone who hassled with FreeCAD and Blender a number of times (CNC routing and 3D printing) I really feel your pain. however you learned some new skills, so your next art my be even more outrageous ;)

[@addystryker7215]

Im really curious to see what you would do with a fursuit! I personality feel fursuits could be WAY more outragous.

[@richards7909]

Anyone got a CT scanner laying around so Ali can scan and model her own skull? :D All that stress and failure was worth it. Turned out brilliantly!

[@Rosewolf29]

XD as soon as you said "Hey, alexa." my alexa turned on XD i'm dying that was too perfectly timed.

[@mikayla_collie]

as someone with a very distinct lisp/speech impediment, that has plagued me my entire life, and introduced countless bullies into my life, you're the only person I would feel ok with mocking my speech pasterns. 😂 awesome video ali! :3c

[@alispagnola]

❤️ This is not me mocking. I get distinctly smarter when I sound like you!

[@bcassidydesign]

You should make the lamp spin so when it turns on you get to see both the clear and obscured angles of the bulb.

[@KarltheKrazyone]

Ali's Nerd lisp for the win!

[@Catarina-Edits7982]

This is so coollll! I'd love to be able to have the kind of stuff you make 💞💞

[@50sRockChick]

Really cool Ali.

[@Selectanimations]

just got back to college to a new ali spagnola video!

[@carolinemorgan94]

Hey Ali you could probably make a song with all the times you say I'm nervous and just keep going Spags but that's just part of the process of arting on this channel

[@rita2506]

Well done, well done!!!

[@angelamoll7348]

I think you should 3d print mini versions of your car and then re-create each design that you have had so far. 💜 🚗

[@niklaswejedal463]

That was a great idea!

[@VanellaMead]

oh wow! its amazing, uncertainty and anxiety are always there for me but some of the time i can get through it, other times i do something else till i can cope. There is a lot of unfinished art in my flat

[@cr5418]

This is awesome! Can we please have some more music ideas?? 😊thank you!

[@piotrbijak3545]

Keep going Spags

[@Sierra_arts]

This is really cool! You should projector map your house for a video

[@RoyceElder]

Add a counter to it whenever it turns on the counter goes up and then show it every time in your videos in the background and we could tell how many times you turned it on
