In this video I'm sculpting the master of mystery and the head honcho of horror, Edgar Allan Poe himself! Watch me create him from scratch out of polymer clay in this full process tutorial video. I make his armature from wire, sculpt his details with polymer clay including his face likeness, body, and paint him with acrylics.

I hope you like my Edgar Allan Poe sculpt!! He paved the way for so many people who create all the horror and mystery stories we know and love today. This guy has influenced my work so much and I love that I added him to my KZbin sculpture collection. Let me know how you think I did in the comments! Thank you for being here, see you again soon 🍅

[@geoffreypeerens111]

Your work as always looks amazingly detailed and this particular sculpt is one of my favourites as you captured one of my favourite writers of all time beautifully. Can't wait for your next sculpture!❤

[@tanyapoe5490]

You doing this one really made my day.

[@tobilynnswarthout2690]

All the ones you do are amazing...still need the ones u yourself created need to be on a Hoodie/pillow....luvya man😊❤❤❤

[@brianahawkins8124]

He looks awesome, I can't imagine if you made Vincent Price.

[@creatures9169]

Это больше похоже на русского писателя Гоголь Николай Васильевич

[@elizabethlynch6544]

William Shakespeare holding a skull would be perfect as a companion for this piece so they can be showing each other their skull

[@nickiclark4066]

YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!!!!!!!

[@aaronhelms]

It would be a massive undertaking but I'd love to see your take on a diarrama that could house your sculpture that has bits and pieces of his famous works like the raven, a floorboard pried up to reveal a heart, Annabel Lee by the lake in her casket, a big crack down the visage of the room...

[@clareeden5753]

That's a brilliant idea ❤

[@highshipper9222]

I love the Edgar Allan Poe sculpt! “Quoth the Raven ‘Nevermore’”

[@asuna_yui88]

This turned out so well!! I am impressed with the level of detail you got in his face. Edgar would be proud!

[@SjmB1988]

It's actually so nice to see a return to "classic" Ace of Clay. The idea of doing Shakespeare is great, maybe do a few others like Lovecraft, Mary Shelly etc ❤

[@alexienn6094]

And I was thinking about Ace of clay creating Vincent van Gogh (even though he's a painter) !!

[@ravenjane6000]

I don't mean to compare art but the way you designed Edgar's caricature makes me think about the Corpse Bride. I could definitely see him standing next to Victor or Emily.

[@bathnbodymagickbycrystal4880]

Agree!!! That’s such a beautiful piece of he put that together!

[@caratsomnia8110]

Edgar Allen Poe plus ur sculpting art style is literally a match made in heaven🖤

[@OnlySamMortimer]

I'm consistently blown away by your sculpts. They're awesome, my guy. Thanks so much for your clear, comprehensive, step-by-step guides!

[@plusultra6453]

Bit of a strange request, but could you try sculpting a character from Soul Eater? The show's artstyle is basically anime mixed with Tim Burton on serious amounts of cocaine. I would like to see your take.

[@Ghostrob2023]

The sculpture of Edgar looks really cool. Thanks for sharing the video on how you made him.

[@WitherHoldingASpoon]

I didn't think I could love him or Edgar any more than I already do 😭💜 Amazing work!!!!

[@enirehtaksirrah7936]

The eurovision song gets stuck in my head every time his name is mentioned now. You are such an amazing sculpture, and you make it look so easy. I wish I had the skills you do

[@jennylawson1980]

I absolutely love love love this! I love Edgar Allan Poe. I have all his works! He is amazing Ace. Great job!!!! ❤

[@lechatbotte.]

I adore Poe, I’ve read everything he wrote. This is terrific. There is a guy in Maryland that does plays as Poe. Can’t get enough.

[@DebbieCombs]

I have just found your page and binge watching! Incredible…I’m super new to polymer clay and working on very simple things but between Dali and Poe here I’m determined to improve. I need that little spoon tool you use and you mentioned something in the Dali video about “ smoothing and getting rid of finger prints” Need it! Very inspiring!! Beautiful creations!

[@brianahawkins8124]

He looks awesome, I can't imagine if you made Vincent Price.

[@moochiepie2]

Love this sculpt! The suit details really pop, even though it’s all painted black. I think Mark Twain (in white) would make a lovely counterpoint. 🙂

[@veronicasaavedra4856]

I gotta say, I love this! Didn’t even have to watch the video to know I was going to either! Would looooove to see more sculpts like this

[@manisavvy9632]

Awesome sculpt. A raven sitting on his shoulder or other arm would have made me absolutely feral. 😭❤️

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

I love Poe! He was a poe boy and went through alot in his short but talented life.

[@billbucktube]

Your videos are very helpful in learning to sculpt polymer clay. Have you thought about putting together a how to series which would use clips from your library? An armature video, bulking out and blocking in video, adding on details vs carving out, painting, baking, etc.

[@TheMotionlessGrave]

It captures the sadness and melancholy look he has in his photos. Amazing!

[@zongthao4528]

I am so glad I found your channel again. So awesome.

[@theresafeyjoo458]

I'm always so amazed by your sculptures. Your stories are so engaging when you'll sculpting. But my favorite part is how you teach us how to do characters step by step and telling us not to be affaid of adding to our sculptures and make it our own. Your very talented. May God bless all your endeavors. Thank you again for being such great Teacher.

[@Gudsur]

This is fantastic! Looks exactly like him instead of an exaggeration ❤

[@raidermomcathy2043]

I’m so proud of you! Beautiful sculpture and really great VO! And I’ve been subbed for a hundred years, how did I miss your “cake topper” backstory?? Is it time for a big Q&A video?❤😊🎉

[@Lori_M]

I would BUY this. I absolutely, positively think this is the BEST sculpture you have ever ever ever done. I love EAP so much, and you have done him justice!!! I wish this was available for purchase because I need this in my life!!!

[@tomhamilton5261]

Absolutely brilliant-you’ve captured the sadness and resignation in Poe’s face . Excellent work. 😎🙏🎶

[@rowanstephenson3192]

Wow I’ve seen many of your creations and this is no exception again a true work of art ❤

[@debbralehrman5957]

I think you did a wonderful piece of work with Edgar!!!! Thanks Anthony👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹

[@deeval832]

Each week I’m surprised by your creations. So much talent…I appreciate you sharing with us. This sculpt is incredible . Well done!

[@amberg.6462]

This is such an awesome piece! I know you are a busy man with plenty of projects and series already in progress, but it would be amazing to see a series dedicated to Horror, Sci-Fi, and Gothic authors. Companions to Poe. Anyway, keep doing amazing work and being an awesome human!

[@dryadseeker]

Love, love, love Poe - and you did him proud!

[@swiftninja91]

This is an amazing sculpture! I'd love to see you do an interpretation of Lovecraft in the future!

[@jamescotter6114]

This might be my favorite thing you've done so far❤❤❤❤❤❤!

[@katytener1982]

Hi Anthony! I really like how this sculpture turned out! Love Edgar Allan Poe! You should sit him next to the one you did of Tim Burton... Next you should do one of Stephen King... in your style of course!

[@conniewhall3109]

Good morning!! Love your rendition of EAP. Truly do. Most images of this man are just creepy all the way to irrelevant. You really do have a gift. I am appreciating your creations more and more. Thank you for sharing. Stay beautiful while staying blessed.

[@angiedewolf6512]

I really like this one, he’s just the right amount of melancholy! Lol

[@cassandraengle7343]

Always been a huge fan of poe and I think you did great!

[@AndrewsClayCreations]

What an absolute amazing sculpt. I would love to see you make other famous people in this style. (Alfred Hitchcock comes to mind)

[@lyndioli]

Cool!!! Hed be awesome sitting on my library shelf!!! ✒️📕📚💀🖤

[@Cheznrice]

That's really cool! He's one of my Fourth Great Uncles .

[@samanthadean1083]

Fantastic job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kat8753]

I love this ❤, Poe is the best. I would love to see you expand on this maybe make some characters from his books like "masque of the red death."

[@megolson9888]

Well done!! Thank you for sharing this with us. I just finished a book called Return To The House of Usher by Robert Poe. If you’re wondering, yes the writer is a distant relative to Edgar Allen Poe.

[@chrismuramatsu6600]

I love your Edgar Allan Poe. It was so interesting that your chose to sculpt a real person, but you stylized the figure to make it truly a signature Ace of Clay piece of art. His suit is so elegant and I love the tutorial of which facial features you selected to reflect what Poe actually looked like to make him recognizable as Poe. Very enjoyable video. Thank you.

[@juliewaters8732]

Absolutely amazing

[@randyinvancouver]

Poe was an excellent idea! I’m kind of fascinated by your approach to his hair 🤔 There are a few other caricatures you could consider, like Vincent Price, Tim Burton, Stephen King, Bram Stoker, Anne Rice, Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie off the top of my head.

[@jellybean13ct]

One of my favorite writers ❤️

[@billbucktube]

I was surprised at 7:43 when you turned the head at how recognizable it was. I also like your “adding on” of details; eyebrow ridges, mustache, ears, cloth folds, etc. I was always trying to carve details rather than adding them. Never worked well for facial features.

[@LaurenVanDerHoven]

Edgar Allan Poe looks amazing Job

[@edwardburdettjr8754]

Would love to see the Alistair SIMM version of Ebenezer Scrooge from 1951 A Christmas Carol. Your work is awesome.

[@charlotteholly]

I wonder how long each piece takes you to make! I love your work and this is one of my favourites ❤

[@diyfireking]

Incredible work as always 👍👍

[@KeyoPanda]

You do these sculptures so flawlessly, they always look incredible! Definitely makes me want to get into sculpting.

[@aceofclay]

10/10 would recommend!

[@Jan_X70]

Absolutely fantastic!! ❤

[@shirliepriestley8761]

Amazing so much detail❤

[@MmMm-qe2zo]

Excellent work as usual. I’d love to see u do something truly horrific like a Cenobite from the Hellraiser movies!

[@mindygeist7157]

He’s beautiful,thanks so much for sharing your process!😊💀☕️

[@robindonnelly]

He is perfect! Great job! I just found an entire Poe collection book I want to read someday.

[@cathleencrawley4610]

Poe is my favorite all time author. I was very excited when you said you did this guy…. You need to put him on a trading card. So so stinking good!!

[@ambrosiajones6887]

Thanks so much for making this video my sister loves it she is a huge fan of Edgar Allan Poe and has been waiting for u to sculpt him❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@liznewton4561]

Beautiful work again

[@TheSpookySculptress]

I loveee poe. You never cease to amaze us all!

[@chriscoleman6956]

Great job on him

[@kellykellogg2283]

WOW this is so good, the style is awesome! Thank you for explaining your process on creating his suite.

[@alex-in-notts]

Looks amazing. Would love to see a depiction of Albert Einstein or Marie Curie in your style next. 😁

[@philipholder5600]

Poe is one of my favorite Authors. Thanks for this one.

[@joshuaweinbergdelsolhs8321]

Absolutely incredible work again. Maybe you could work him into your Mutant Universe? Maybe the 'power' behind the Entity kind of thing?

[@jessemohler-jl9gc]

I would love an Edgar allen poe sculpture

[@XanBos]

A nice representation of Poe. As you were doing him, I started thinking, there are several people, namely actors, that you should sculpt. Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, actors like that, who helped shape the dark side of the old scary movies. Just a thought!

[@Truewhispers40]

Really enjoyed watching this... still waiting to see "The Fishermen" mutant

[@jontusmcginger1455]

ypu captured his likeness excessively well, fantastic work bro!!

[@christoffernero5829]

Wow, you did great! Hes awesome! So lifelike and in your Ace of clay style! Love it!

[@garzilla7123]

Absolutely Awesome and Amazing!!! 👍👍👍

[@lilithsdaughters]

Amazing as always

[@nickiclark4066]

I knew exactly who it was from the thumbnail pic before even reading the title. Love Edgar Allan Poe - you did a great job!

[@lawrente]

Great talent! Love your Edgar Allen Poe! Such a great sculpt.

[@SquirrelThis]

You used to be a cake decorator! That makes soo much sense 👍☺️ I mean you’re completely next level and then some now, but there are so many transferable skills I can see now that I think about it. ❤

[@tineannchristensen279]

He looks great 🥰😍 I was just talking about him earlier today with a friend of mine 🤣

[@x-rex7236]

Alfred, batman's loyal batler carries a tray of GOTH HAM

[@BettimusFrostCafe]

This is so good! I love him 😮

[@karinasanchez3285]

Well, you did it again! Again! Just surpassed yourself in originality, talent and skill…. 🎩 off to you 🙌

[@GingerLeigh]

Aloha from Maui! EAP turned out awesome! You should make him the ghost of Lenore to keep him company 😜

[@rayvinnyte4245]

Looks awesome

[@beatrixkiddo5887]

Howard Phillips Lovecraft would be perfecr company for this guy, amazing job done! 👍🏻

[@ceciliablomqvist6677]

My goodness! I love this enormously!!! Love Edgar Allan Poe and your sculpture is SO DOPE!! ❤❤❤ And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting on the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming, And the lamp-light over him streaming throws his shadow on the floor And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted-nevermore!

[@tanyapoe5490]

I am beyond ecstatic that you did this one.

[@andreluisferreira9295]

Bro that's insane what you can do with this Clay's, I'm started to sculp on oven bake clay inspired on you. By the way this sculpture also looks like a Brazilian singer called Belchior.

[@motwaaagh]

You know what might be a good idea is to occasionally do a historical figure in a stylized way just like you did here with Edgar Allan poe. On that note I wouldn't mind seeing my favorite President Ted Theodore Roosevelt. I think if you depict him in the same fashion as Night at the Museum you might have fun with the sculpt.

[@reginafetty6374]

The Poe sculpt looks great! Perfect for the disturbing world of strange things we all love. It would have been fantstic with a raven on the skull.

[@moda78z]

I love him! 😍

[@datfloof2732]

I would love to see u sculpt leonardo da vinci next, if possible ofc :3

[@CajunCraft24]

Awesome sculpt!❤

[@jeepscreeps]

💀🖤OMG - Anthony - your Poe is fantastic. I'm so in awe! When I clicked on your video (as I do every Friday!) I literally screamed with excitement! I love Poe - his gothic tales and I'm fascinated with his macabre life. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING HIM - made my weekend!🖤💀

[@Larems879]

Brilliant!

[@Jana-Jane]

It would be awesome if you could create Shelley Duvall who recently past away from the shining, it fits your style 👌

[@billgully3681]

SO impressive! 👍
