Making an Android Sculpture Part 1

[@dangered99]

Awesome! Looking forward to the next part! 👍

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks! :)

[@jeffgoldenberg9579]

Shades of Hajime Sorayama. Your work is stunning. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

[@thedarkpower]

Thank you!

[@spacemanvw]

Damn - you’re good ar modelling clay . That head is fenominal. The rest of the figure is also fantastic. Looking to see the rest. 😃

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks! :)

[@jackkuehneman9300]

Very impressed by the symmetry you sculpted in the face.

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks - yeah faces are tricky to get symmetrical.

[@egs_schroeder3916]

I love how clean and beautiful your sculptures are 😍

[@thedarkpower]

That's very kind, thanks :)

[@Kammmm]

This is absolutely incredible... Your work is always so inspiring and so informative! Thank you for sharing this and I'm really looking forward to seeing the final piece!

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks very much!

[@kurogiza]

Phenomenal work! The problem solving alone is great, love the use of the plastic frame & Bondo to give the "outline". I've done a similar thing with wood and chipboard/paper :) The sculpture looks amazing, can't wait to see what you do with lights on this.

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks very much Chris, hope you're well. Yes it's a nice technique which I can see myself using again. Thin wood might actually be preferable since it won't deform with heat as much as plastic. Yep I'm always impatient for the painting/detailing stage but am getting close ;)

[@lindagroskopf3749]

Disturbingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent, can't wait for the next part.

[@thedarkpower]

Very kind, thank you! :)

[@yankleber]

It's a shame that we only live once. I would like to have the chance to born that gifted. Awesome work.

[@thedarkpower]

That's very kind, thanks ;)

[@mapet8685]

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks!

[@CutTransformGlue]

[@purrosleukos253]

Looks really awesome, can’t wait to see it develop!

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks!

[@MartinDolan]

I thought I was good at sci-fi art, then I see your stuff... 🤯

[@thedarkpower]

Ah cheers dude, very kind :)

[@seekrbots6350]

Totally awesome! Every time I see your work, I want to get into the workshop and make stuff. I can’t wait to see the next vid and the progression of this robot.

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks! Hope you make it to the workshop ;)

[@nmills87]

Amazing as always man 👏🏻 can’t wait for the day your channel gets big enough for a full time upload schedule 😉

[@thedarkpower]

Cheers, appreciate it.

[@cabalse]

Love your work as always

[@thedarkpower]

Hey thanks very much, I really appreciate it :)

[@cragrat19]

Great work as always!

[@thedarkpower]

Cheers!

[@stevemurzin2274]

Just found your channel! Love it so far. The Synthwave is an added bonus. Great working music.

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks for watching! Yeah the KZbin audio library has some good stuff.

[@robbough1585]

Very interesting project, superb work with excellent results so far. Even from your preview description, I was thinking this is going to be a good one and boy you haven't disappointed in any way. She looks vaguely Ex Machina/ Borg Queen, but stunning in every instance. Avidly looking forward to the next in this series, Brava!

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks very much Rob, yes I can definitely see those robots in there. Just had a look at some of your builds on your channel btw - great stuff! :)

[@BrushQuill]

Wow! Just wow.

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks!

[@-webster3120]

It is very well done. Very enjoyable content.

[@thedarkpower]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dramamask]

Absolutely wonderful and awesome! Totally blown away here! I wanna make an android too! :)

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks :)

[@ryut]

Already looks amazing! Looking forward to the next video! Thanks for sharing!

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks!

[@jamescatania]

Amazing work !!!

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks!

[@a596321z]

何が出来るか楽しみです！

[@valerin0]

Really nice

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks!

[@EdgarPaulk]

Vaseline it's wonderful to add fresh sculpey to a baked part.

[@thedarkpower]

Ah thanks for the tip, I've not tried that.

[@junkyardzombie13]

Man, I don't want to wait for part two.

[@thedarkpower]

Sholdn't be too long, I'm thinking this might have to be more than two parts simply as it's quite a complicated project.

[@junkyardzombie13]

@@thedarkpower agreed, it looks great. Simple and smooth is harder than clunky and over detailed.

[@MrLionelrichtea]

Another banger

[@thedarkpower]

Cheers ;)

[@marino8034]

Great stuff. Have you ever tried 'Apoxie Clay' by Aves?

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks! I have not, but I've been meaning to give it a try for a while.

[@doubledog5894]

Some tiny pen/keychain lasers might make a interesting prop for the lighting effects. Will she have a name?

[@thedarkpower]

Good idea, particularly if I can get some smoke going from the base. I'm rubbish at thinking up names!

[@celticarchie]

Freakin' Awesome Sauce! : As usual! :D

[@thedarkpower]

Cheers! ;)

[@dazlock4491]

You're based in the UK right? Where do you get the bases for copper tubes? I've not been able to find them in any hardware stores, but I can find the copper pipes and elbows

[@thedarkpower]

Yes that's right - I make them actually. I solder copper discs from ebay on to couplers. I did a video about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKPPmqdqjNRoa68

[@knofusion]

The styrine you use for the initial template, how does it not melt or go soft while baking the sculpy? Or by that point does it not matter because the body filler is taking up the form?

[@thedarkpower]

Yeah I was worried about that (and the hot glue I used!), however the temperature needed to cook the sculpey isn't that high and so it was ok in the end. I think it did go soft but it hardens again as it cools.

[@doyoucomply8770]

Got to sub 👏👏👏

[@nikond90ful1]

Thanks for the video. I really like what you have done so far. Look forward to the next videos. if you want any 3d prints doing, just message me.

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks for the offer, and for watching!

[@bitongskiekandule7659]

Can I share this vid to a Filipino sculptors group? Nice work btw..✌🏻

[@thedarkpower]

Thanks! Yes please do ;)

[@pizzalord3n]

Sorta looks like the Terran advisor in StarCraft 😁

[@thedarkpower]

Oooh, I don't know that one. I though it looked abit like the robot from metropolis.

[@jagboy69]

If you don't cast this in BRONZE, I'm unsubbing you! Seriously, very nice work!

[@thedarkpower]

Haha, thanks - I would like to try doing that someday!

[@farid6312]
