Making The Vanilla Dome Map From Super Mario World - Polymer Clay Tutorial

[@Kerobyxclay]

I'm just about at 30k subscribers. What kind of video should I make to celebrate?

[@thew8138]

Another monstrosity made from commenter's suggestions?

[@Kerobyxclay]

@Phillip Clearman. Do you mean a combined video of how I made them all?

[@shadedcycle]

You should model a 30K plaque or statue out of clay Edit: oh god not plague “plaque”

[@Kerobyxclay]

Ohh. I don't think it would work because this is in a cave.

[@MintyFries]

I love watching the placement of the path markers for some reason.

[@Rellik165]

I do think that the maps are some of your best work. It's one thing to see a sprite made into a 3d sculpture, but its another to see an entire world suddenly pop to life like this. It is incredible.

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you :)

[@Rellik165]

@@Kerobyxclay If I may make a request for a particularly difficult map here... I would love to see the overworlds of one of the Donkey Kong Country games, like DK Island or Crocodile Isle made. They're a lot more vertical than these other maps, and due to system limitations don't show their backside, which would make them particularly challenging to create. But seeing those locations be realized would be absolutely incredible. I don't care if it takes a long time to get around to them, but if you could do them one day, that would be amazing.

[@Kerobyxclay]

I've had plans for making the Donkey Kong Country 1,2, and 3 world maps for a long time now. I will get to it one day!

[@bruzzunathtuch]

I'd absolutely LOVE to see you make the valley of Bowser ❤

[@blutheblooper1280]

I’m always so impressed how nice the pathways look

[@scottywan82]

I think part of the appeal of your maps is they are so good and very unique. No one else makes them and they look so beautiful in the bright clay colors.

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you! :) I've also noticed that there isn't really too much out there for clay maps, especially Nintendo.

[@CluelessCrafts]

I like how you used liquid Fimo to create the lake, its definitely easier than mixing resin and looks great!

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you! I'm too scared to use resin haha

[@andreshirotakahashi7657]

You really made my day. I just love to watch those maps being so well represented.

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you! That really means a lot!

[@russt2793]

Now a we need is the forest of illusion, Yoshi Island, and Vallay of Bowser, and maybe even the special world, and the SMW area making series would he complete.

[@Kerobyxclay]

I just might have to!

[@tornadosaus2868]

I love these little maps as always

[@lizanya5727]

Yay more maps! They're always so cute

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thanks! :)

[@_itsmarie]

that looks amazing! and I like that you chose liquid fimo for the water. it really looks good like that!

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you! I really need to do that more often for water!

[@NotTerravin]

The world maps are definitely a favorite, the details end up feeling super accurate and almost like if Nintendo chose to remake these older games using clay! Saying that I also remembered the Kirby game on Wii U that ended up being made to look like clay, maybe something from that would be a fun project in the future.

[@Kerobyxclay]

Wow thank you! I've been thinking about that for a while. It's a game made of clay so it just makes sense!

[@erncam8455]

Congrats on 30k! I have two ideas for the 30k monster. A schnauzer mustache, or a sign that says “30k!” Or your logo! I really love your work! 🤩🥳

[@tdawg6365]

way more intricate than it looks! excellent job! this one looks really cool!

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you :)

[@Junglewarfare]

I love your map videos especially the star road one. Really nice creation you made here

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you!

[@CynicalScorpio]

Great job, I especially like how the water came out, looking foward to more maps!

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you!

[@Equalyze]

Amazing work, as always, Kero! I feel like Vanilla Dome is a deceptively tricky one to make due to all the topographic differences, but you really brought the world design into 3-D with the different thicknesses and colors of clay - it looks so cool! Using a bit of black for the pipes is a nice touch to create an additional sense of depth, and the Switch Palace came out quite nicely! I love the texture details in the periphery of the map, as well. One of my favorite parts about opening up new levels in SMW was seeing the land itself morph and shift to accommodate new levels - it really made you feel like a pioneer in a wild and remote land! Also, why are stars so hard to draw well? 😭 It's a rather unforgiving shape, with a low margin for error. But that was a great idea, borrowing a Star from Star Road to use as a template. Also, I love how optimistic you sound when you say, "Now, let's begin the very painful process of painting..." 😂 By the way, mad props for creating chapters with such fun and clever titles. The writing style reminds me of how the official Nintendo Players Guides would be written back in the day, and I just adore that. ❤️ Keep up the fantastic work, my friend!

[@Kerobyxclay]

Honestly the hardest part is figuring out where to cut. Since it's not possible to have a top down view, it's partly just a guessing game. I'd have to agree, it has a pretty unique way of hiding a bunch of different locations inside of one big map! Stars are just the worst... haha. The thing about the painting is I had to scratch off the little lines so many times because I didn't make them the right size. When it comes to painting there's no instant success with me... Ahh really? That means a lot! I try to add in some humor into the chapters and I'm glad it's noticed.

[@anthonyt468]

I appreciate your clay Mario videos. Thx!

[@Kerobyxclay]

You're welcome!

[@AviatorAVGEEK777]

I love these videos. Inspires me so much. One of my favourite videos is the new super Mario bros Wii clay tutorial

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you! I always love to hear when I inspire people! Do you also make things with clay?

[@ThatClamWiam]

4:55 i thought that star looked familiar lol :) great video btw the first one I watched from you was the super mario world map so more stuff from it is cool to see!

[@Kerobyxclay]

Oh wow that's awesome! :)

[@urbynwyldcat9131]

Enjoy these videos so much! I look forward to Forest of Illusion and Valley of Bowser! Will you be doing the worlds from Mario 3? That would be awesome

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you! I did the first world a little while back, but I'm not sure if I'll continue that.

[@Pretending_To_Trumpet]

I started following you because I was so impressed with a Zelda map you made. I love these old school Nintendo maps, they give me major nostalgia. Well done on 30K man. Maybe for your celebration you could do some sort of game complete screen, like the end of Mario or Metroid or something. Or maybe the King Bob Omb battle from Mario 64?

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you! I love those ideas!

[@Mike14264]

Holy crap, you really did it! The Vanilla Dome looks really good! Say, have you heard of this bit of news? A full digitized version of a Japanese game guide for SM64 was finally released! The interesting thing about it was that, for each main course in the game, it had an clay diorama representing either the whole level or a good chunk of it!

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you! Can you link me to it? I'd love to see that!

[@GreatGatzB]

The Airship would be suuuuper ambitious but it would be an awesome 30K video! Proud of you for making it so far man :)

[@Kerobyxclay]

It might take a few months haha

[@smrios10]

I have watched this yet again, looked at the date of when it came out and thought to myself, I wonder when he’s gunna make the bowser world. I’m looking forward to it. 🙂

[@TheCloneFox]

My thing with the maps and the scenery things, is it is very unique and I love seeing how you make them. The figures are cool but you can buy a figurines from a game. The maps and scenery things are something that companies aren’t really doing and it very cool to see it done. Still love the videos though keep it up

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you! That's a really helpful input to hear!

[@CraftyKatsCorner]

You really do such an amazing job with these maps! Your figures are awesome as well though! I wanted to suggest that you might benefit from getting some liquid sculpey to make your raw clay stick well and more easily to the baked clay, but then you broke out the fimo liquid clay! That would work great too! If you just add a thin layer! It really does make it so much easier to get those to stick together, so you don't have to press so much, and it help prevent the possibility of air pockets. 😁 I really do love your artistry though!!! Keep on crafting!!

[@Kerobyxclay]

Thank you so much! I've used liquid sculpey for that before, but I used the last of the bottle on softening some old clay. I never thought of using fimo liquid for that. Great idea! Air pockets are the worst....

@@Kerobyxclay Thank you. But I'm afraid I must tell you the black and white cat Topsie was sadly put to sleep today😭 She had a severe heart condition and was living on borrowed time. Our other cat Ernie is suffering the same condition, but seems to be holding out lot longer.

[@Kerobyxclay]

I'm sorry to hear that :( my guinea pig passed away today as well :(. She died peacefully and comfortable though.

[@AndrewChapman]

@@Kerobyxclay Oh no, I'm sorry to your guinea pig died too. That's a blessing she died peacefully and comfortable. We stood by Topsie as she slipped away.

She had a few days beforehand where she wouldn't eat so we kind of figured it was coming... do you plan on getting more cats?
