What do you think of the Pumpkin Reaper?? Let me know!! Have a great weekend everyone. Check me out on IG and Twitter: @aceofclay

[@limalicious]

Hard to go wrong there, man!

[@SleepyToast06]

Grim dressed good for halloween

[@liahnnarivas8900]

Can you make SCP 682. Or another creepy pasta

[@aandersson9181]

I think you did the grim reaper of the pumpkin patch great justice! =D XD

[@aceofclay]

@Eden Morrison aw thank you!

[@eoghansailer5048]

I have two suggestions. 1: RUSSIAN SLEEP EXPERIMENT 2: I would love to see you sculpt Batman and The Joker in your own Burton-esque style. I can just imagine the amazing possibilities.

[@Howard_T_Duck]

That would be awesome!

[@agneslandry5343]

I'd love to see both ideas.😄

[@lukahhenderson8746]

The Russian sleep experiment would be cool

[@saturn1012]

YESSSSSSS

[@noobiejr.9977]

yessssss 1 and 2 are great ideas

[@janeenrotunda3090]

When you were sculpting his tail/robe it reminded me of a mermaid, I think itd be cool to see your version of a siren!

[@jessmedaris1847]

I like the jack skeleton feel you get from the face features. Very Tim Burton. Love it.

[@KeyJester]

Your last three sculpts have been my favourites so far. So simple, yet so satisfying, and they just got that pure classic halloween spirit that I'm so incredibly fond of. While all your works are really neat, these last ones have just really hit a special spot in my heart. Absolutely loved them! Would 100% use them to make a halloween town display for spooktober.

[@tidalboxer]

Very nice piece!!!

[@Kit_Nightwolf]

This looks amazing, it is giving me Tim Burton vibes. Can you please make Jack and Sally from " The Nightmare before Christmas " Keep up the good work.

[@PuffPastry-ke3cm]

Pumpkin reaper is so perfectly creepy! I love him! Also have you ever done a Dullahan or a Kitsune sculpture? I'd love to see your take on these.

[@luciusdevile9780]

please make mothman or cthulhu! perfect for spook month

[@raymysterio243]

Fallout Deathclaw!

[@GrandmaLoves2Scuba]

Does anyone else see the Grinch in his Halloween costume?

[@zombieashes2705]

I'm actually curious would you do a sculpture based off of a subscriber's design they send you I was thinking of doing a cool Halloween drawing drawing and wondered if you would make a sculpture based off of it. I know it is probably annoying to get a comment like this so you don't need to respond. 😅 hope you're having a great day!

[@melmeyer8698]

I want his head.

[@ZeepDr]

We need a "24/7 Ace of Clay spooky beats to get haunted to" playlist for this spooky season 🎃

[@DemonDevilwolf]

I agree, I completely agree

[@kreepykutiexd]

YES PLEASE!!!!!!!

[@artsykai]

YES GAAWWDD

[@nicolerosemon9905]

I was just thinking that. Those beats are fire🔥🔥🔥

[@guywhiteman6759]

This looks like something from Nightmare before Christmas

[@CallMeeeBrian]

mhm

[@Cooki242]

yeah jack the skeleton kinda vibes

[@Mars1990ful]

« This is Halloween ! This is Halloween !!! Everybody scream !! »

[@Tammonius27]

Definitely, could be Jack’s estranged cousin!!😱💜

[@Sarah-p2k9r]

I've been here since 2018 and I'm never getting tired of your videos T^T you're so cool

[@aceofclay]

Ah that’s good to hear!! Thank you so much

[@LittleDergon]

This looks like a guy who could challenge Jack Skeleton to the Pumpkin crown

[@ImagineAnimationStudios]

This idea just popped up in my mind! Can you sculp your version of Maleficent? :>

[@Lucid1612]

Yesyes

[@evangelineangel97]

This sculpture is really awesome Anthony. Really took it to the next level.

[@ZeepDr]

Background beat slaps, as per usual.

[@partialrium5879]

When too many people use jack skellington: (Jk i love it thats just where my mind went)

[@aandersson9181]

Well, he IS the Pumpkin King, I get what you mean! XD

[@jennylawson1980]

Ace, he is so unique and creepy. I cant wait to see all your Halloween collection together. They are all turning out great. R you going to do the crying black blood tree from Sleepy Hollow in your own style for the collection? Your sculpting skills have really excelled too. Stay safe and cant wait till the next one!

[@abihill6209]

Anyone else notice at 8:58 he says “see if they fit right” and the song goes “perfect” 😂

[@derrickstewart8814]

Nightmare before Christmas would love to see your take on jack and sally maybe oogie boogie or the professor

[@thedarkarts881]

Hears a suggestion: 1930’s style ghost

[@deadend5233]

The Horseless Headless Horsemann's cousin, Steve

[@animallover5626]

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I thought “PUMPKIN KING!”

[@ItsOkayCasey]

My kid is going to LOVE this episode!

[@cherissataylor1856]

I would have liked to see a wooden/vine like scythe to go with it. But otherwise perfect and awesome!

[@faithnewton8768]

who else thinks he should do something harry potter themed? like dobby or something like that

[@charlesguzman9045]

Ace of clay can you sculpt one with three ghosts piping out a jack o lantern, please. (It's based on a air balloon.)

[@Farid533]

You are the best!

[@liahnnarivas8900]

This video made my day. Earlier this morning my lizard died and I may have depression but this video might have turned that around. Edit: thank you guys so much. It really means a lot to me

[@aceofclay]

I’m so sorry for your loss 😔

[@liahnnarivas8900]

Ace of Clay. It’s ok. At least she lived a long happy life

[@rayray__05]

I'm sorry for your loss I bet she loves you very much

[@lausdeandl]

Beardie? So sorry😢

[@liahnnarivas8900]

lausdeandl. Yup. Beardie

[@godhelp3439]

Such a good sculpture. I want to make good sculptures as you someday. I hope you are having a good day. You could make a scary version of illuminati lol (or my profile picture). I still think your plague doctor is the best sculpture, but that's probably just because I love plague doctors

[@justinsessoms4733]

Make the “The Lady from the Lake” from The Haunting of Bly Manor off Netflix

[@Nebajau]

Here some suggestion to sculp! •trianglehead from silent hill •your version for Ursula from little mermaid •volatile from dying light!

[@Z_Factor]

Dude, you are soooooo good! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and underestimating how good you were. Then I tried sculpting something myself and I realized! Keep up the great work!

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Hi Ace. You have finally gone and done it. You have made me buy Sculpey clay and wire and tools etc. I knew if I watched your videos for long enough, I would be totally under your artisic spell. There's no hope for me, it's too late...but you who read this...save yourselves...run, you fools. Mwahahahahaaah

[@sadieadler5139]

Pumpkin reaper... You mean the pumpkin farmer? You know, reap what you sow. Haha I'll see myself out

[@negromancer2698]

i have seen you hearting LAIKA studios instagram puctures so i was wondering could you sculpt the other mother or one of the 7 judges from paraNorman?

[@e.p_the_penguin]

I would love that. It'll most definitely look so cool, especially the other mother in her true form or whatever.

[@everycolourinthesky]

I guess it’s the wrong time to suggest the headless horseman from sleepy hollow, now ?

[@scalchopartist]

This was uploaded on my birthday!

[@aceofclay]

Happy Birthday!!

[@scalchopartist]

Ace of Clay Thank You So Much!😊

[@alliemaruu]

Happy birthday ! Hope you have a great one !!!

[@eoghansailer5048]

Happy Birthday!

[@scalchopartist]

Thank you alliemaru nara I’ll be sure to!😊

[@bonelessgarlicbread9028]

Man you should make the Horseless Headless Horseman from the popular video game Team Fortress 2.

[@goldenghost2676]

Please try your hand at Fiddlesticks from league of legends. He would be an awesome Halloween character

[@kiaramedievil2206]

hi ace can you sculpt ennard In a creepy style please he is from sister location fnaf game and happy Halloween 💀🎃❤🗡🤡

[@cthulucalamari2448]

I've wondered once or twice what it would be like if your sculptures came to life after you went to sleep, and how the previous ones would all be waiting with mixed emotions to see what new one would be joining them this week. o.o

[@Potatobrains_]

and to think... I had no idea that pumpkins had brow bones! You learn something new every day!

[@ssmith955]

I keep saying the same things - but your attention to detail is always amazing. Up close and far away, the look is GR8. I remember when you use to say you hated doing hands. Your hands have obviously evolved.💜

[@marksedlak8386]

I can't believe that you used Mod Podge and gauze for his robes because that's what I was planning to do on my October Challenge sculpt! Virtually the same technique. Oh well. I'll try to do it with a different spin to make it more my own. I really like how this Pumpkin Reaper came out.

[@cowboyjackles]

Everytime he says "Snakes of clay", I'm like "WOAH THAT'S HIS NAM--- oh wait nevermind"

[@daitonhassett2410]

Can you make the jersey devil Krampus or Moth man

[@mjpete27]

You created a fantastic monster and inspiration from a store standup? You have a real gift man! Anthony you got it going on! Keep going and I just cannot say how amazing your skills are!

[@SteelPhoenyx]

Very cool. I like the your of cheesecloth. One of the things I do when I use cheesecloth in my mixed media pieces is add black ink to the Mod Podge. I might try dyeing some too.

[@elizabethseeds5652]

How long does it take for the clay to cook?? Love it by the way!!

[@cosmicnightmare4401]

Please please please make a zombie mermaid, it would look so good in your style

[@dereckalbores118]

I really love your sculptures but the bad thing is that I speak Spanish and I don't understand, you would help me a lot if you put subtitles in Spanish 😓😓🙏

[@daitonhassett2410]

Death noteCthulhu or the illuminati would be sick

[@avabrzostowski2903]

I love it! I’m getting jack skellington the pumpkin king vibes!!!!

[@monanagel6616]

I like the design, with the "tail" and the addition of fabric. But I think the contrast between fabric and the painted clay is a bit to harsh. I would have given the robe a bit more texture, like you sometimes do with the handle of your tool. (By the way: have you ever considered usind actual fabric to create those textures? Sometimes the patterns are too big to give the look of realistic fabric.) Also some speckles and cracks on the "skull" would have been nice, to give a more rotten apearance. Just my two cents. Love the Reaper.

[@idkwatful]

Also, looks like he would be an enemy in medevil the pumpkin level

[@cottonwoodbazaar941]

Thanks for sharing and caring! Stay Safe!

[@donnieshaffer8807]

Here's a challenge for you depending how well you make human figurines, I'd like to see you build Lady Death!

[@Thelillyhehe]

you should do a creature from the silent hill?

[@WindowFluffer]

Lol it’s like Jack skellington meets the Grinch

[@KorysArtCafe]

I just found you. I love your amazing work! Tfs

[@thejulescreations]

I’m so excited to do this! I started making a Skoal water fountain from your last video and I haven’t finished yet but I will definitely make this one when I’m done

[@thejulescreations]

I meant Skull lol

[@martinm3474]

What is your largest piece you've made as the Ace of Clay? Tallest or widest or heaviest? Have you one that you had trouble stopping yourself from fiddling around with too much? My little suggestion is a Dino-sapien, an evolved intelligent bi-pedal dino man.

[@KBish]

He has a very Grinch feeling about him. I really like him!

[@goldenboy82]

Reminds me of Samhain from The Real Ghostbusters!!!

[@aandersson9181]

Holy shit, it does!😲

[@Howard_T_Duck]

Amazing! I would love to see how you would try to do the seven deadly sins it’s a big try I know but with your talent I’m sure it would be worth it!

[@nocturnusrg5389]

Send you an Hello from Portugal, me and my 9 years old nephew love your videos.

[@LinceSensei]

Portugal caralho

[@sajmonness]

Trick or Pumpkin seed.

[@missmckennaslifeleverage6028]

I NEED to see a collaboration between you and ten hundred!!!

[@mirtagordillo3486]

I love watching you sculpt and I'm so amazed on how you do them they look so real in miniature form I like to know have you ever done Ryuk from Death Note its a Japanese Anime

[@justinmalsack5099]

Sculpt Mothman next!

[@snowpuppies1]

I like it. I kinda thought/wished you’d use a little of your color shift on his robe

[@lunabun76]

[@jbtricklerc]

Love your work and love the Tim Burton inspired style! Big fan of both myself.

[@cezarcezar7819]

Pls michael myers make

[@farisrl1257]

certified freak, 18:45

[@chatterboxx625]

A most epic sculpt. I really am drawn to the contrast between the smooth matte finish of the paint and the rough torn aspect of the cloth. Very nice, very spoopy!

[@Mars1990ful]

Too cool !!! Does he sing « This is Halloween » ? « Boys and girls of every age Wouldn't you like to see something strange? Come with us and you will see This, our town of Halloween This is Halloween, this is Halloween Pumpkins scream in the dead of night This is Halloween, everybody make a scene Trick or treat 'til the neighbors gonna die of fright It's our town, everybody scream In this town of Halloween I am the one hiding under your bed Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red I am the one hiding under your stairs Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair This is Halloween, this is Halloween Halloween, Halloween Halloween, Halloween In this town we call home Everyone hail to the pumpkin song In this town, don't we love it now? Everybody's waiting for the next surprise Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can Something's waiting to pounce, and how you'll Scream! This is Halloween Red 'n black, and slimy green Aren't you scared? Well, that's just fine Say it once, say it twice Take a chance and roll the dice Ride with the moon in the dead of night Everybody scream, everybody scream In our town of Halloween I am the clown with the tear-away face Here in a flash and gone without a trace I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?" I am the wind blowing through your hair I am the shadow on the moon at night Filling your dreams to the brim with fright This is Halloween, this is Halloween Halloween, Halloween Halloween, Halloween 'Halloween, Halloween Tender lumplings everywhere Life's no fun without a good scare That's our job, but we're not mean In our town of Halloween In this town Don't we love it now? Everybody is waiting for the next surprise Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back And scream like a banshee Make you jump out of your skin This is Halloween, everybody scream Won't ya please make way for a very special guy Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch Everyone hail to the pumpkin king now This is Halloween, this is Halloween Halloween, Halloween Halloween, Halloween In this town we call home Everyone hail to the pumpkin song »

[@pawadeesunthon7275]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@itsyaboianxiety3985]

Could you do Cthulhu

[@Xx_Lexine_xX]

Hey @Ace of Clay have you thought of making a pumpkin knight? Like dark souls style??

[@klaus.sfc01official71]

This sculpture reminded me od a sculpture i made 3 years ago called the pumpkin killer which was a killer wearing a pumpkin as mask and this looks epic also thanks for bringing back memories :)

[@jaycreate7701]

Hello scary boys and frightening girls and horrible binary alike. HAPPY HALLOWEWN 🎃

[@brianthegamingfox789]

The pumkin reaper reminds me of the pumkin king/jack skellingtin from nightmare before. Chrismis, im sorry for the bad righting, also love your vids, can you make springtrap from fnaf 3?

[@antraxxslingshots]

Your Faces are always 110%. You really nail those...amazing! Not sure about the fabric tho. The look is cool but it is too few imo...i would have covered his entire body with one flat mod-podged layer first and then added the overhang. I´d also like to know why you always seem to use an extra part of wire for the arms that you attach to the body with a 3rd wire instead of making body and arms out of one piece (that should also make it more stable against rotating downwards) I love your Videos! Stay safe!

[@donnadurham8543]

AWESOME - fantastic sculpture!! Thanks for this share - you did a wonderful job!

[@Dingdongtime]

Dollar tree sells black spooky cheese cloth during Halloween season FYI. I stocked up cuz it’s great for spooky table setting

[@thesilentone1102]

PLEASE MAKE A SCHORCHED BEAST QUEEN OFF OF FALLOUT 76!! Or any fallout creature

[@maiadion557]

Hi!love ya , new to your channel. ...I'm expecting tomorrow my first polymer clay starter kit...because of you and Nerdycrafter.im over 40 btw. I'm a HUGE fan of Hello Kitty...you could make her a dark creature. ..😈

[@LittleDergon]

I like the hand positions of this guy. The different wrist positions and the curve in the palm of one hand really helped them look like claws that have strength to grab and not limp

[@kaleenamartinez9652]

As always, it looks fantastic!

[@haylionxxx9510]

To me the Pumpkin Reaper sounds like he acquires the souls inside of Jack Skellington's pumpkins, or his brother. Either way this looks AMAZING!

[@PumpkinPails]

I'm here for anything involving pumpkins. I don't know if you're familiar with PumpkinRot, but he makes these amazing scarecrows called Pumpkin Sentinels. They're the most iconic, spooky things ever.
