[@martinottesen7282]

When you can make the Ultimate Collectors edition yourself xD

[@2chrono2]

"Disregard me as I turn a bundle of random wire and a cube of clay into a perfect fucking replica of an incredibly ornate character from a super stylized video game" I swear to god, sculptors aren't fucking human.

[@ekatherian]

that should be the name of the video

[@carsondyer3670]

2chrono2 Dang it you know our secret.

[@marcussmith7409]

I could make that too frankly, it'd just take like 5 times longer.. If you have the patience and a steady hand you can do pretty detailed sculpting at any skill level. Practice and experience just makes the steps more intuitive and more streamlined, it doesn't magically make you able to make more minor details you couldn't make before.

[@Minecraftian09]

Marcus Smith Yeah, I doubt you would actually be able to get things like the anatomy correct. Obviously with an infinite amount of time you can have an infinitely growing level of skill, so your point is irrelevant.

[@nickb2208]

MageInWhite just because you can't do this does not mean Marcus can't

[@rogelchan]

Being able to sculpt your own figurines, best talent a gamer could ever have and we could only dream of...

[@Mankej]

Well you would soon stop being gamer if you would sculpt so much :P

[@ninzparikh1079]

how can 6 people dislike such art and craftmanship?!

[@onsidegaming6882]

lol idk dude

[@pupintheturdiii]

+OnsideGaming™ You should think of making a basic how too. This is really interesting great job m8.

[@sasssyycat3410]

Ninz Parikh probally got triggered by the game itself

[@burritofarm4835]

[@bloodcorer]

Never finished a DS game probably.

[@infernomikey]

Who needs pop figures when you can just make magnificent sculptures of any character you see fit

[@sladejosephwilson2300]

Who needs funko pop figures at all. You can find much better figures online

[@Sanctumsecretorum]

Hell yeah, in my country that funko pop figures are full of stock and offer, because nobody buy that giant ass head toys.

[@kyuuboy]

2:15 Gwyn's theme starts playing with Soul of Cinder. God I love this OST so much!

[@dannyrivera559]

everyone's talking about the butt and I'm just sitting here with my brain blown away by the talent and skill of people who can do such stuff

[@danielantony1882]

It's actually kinda sad to say but there are really low amount of people that aren't ignorant or destracted and sank in the meme world.That's kinda sad,you know.

[@chrisbadiou1407]

I totally get you. too many memes, I T S T I M E T O S T O P

[@Jack_Woods]

I know, it must've been difficult to achieve such a perfect butt

[@patriciopadilla8485]

We are admiring the talent and the skill that this dude use make that butt 7u7

[@hasanalhumrani7954]

Me 2

[@BlowItOutYourAssXIII]

Anyone else notice the Tracer statue in the back flipped around at 3:37, and again at 7:08? Also i love how you can see how long this took him in real time, because the lighting slowly goes darker in the room as the sun sets, then suddenly gets bright again. This took him at least 3 days.

[@dragonssin5014]

that moment you draw a stick figure and say hey that's a really good stick figure but then remember people like this exist

[@davemarx7856]

DragonsSin "I drew Goku! 🙌 " *watches this video* "🙍"

[@aster1760]

yeah.....bout that.....90% of the people who do this stuff and draw this stuff, me included make a extremely good piece that is accepted by everybody around us, then were like "NO!!! ......ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!" then we scrap the fucker and start again.......its a tough life being a perfectionist... also yay for late as fuck comments!!!

[@funstuffpoint0199]

DragonsSin yes

[@jamiebillington5905]

all these guys no doubt started with stick figures :)

[@memes3369]

How can you draw a bad stick figure?

[@SgtMonkeyLeg]

Loved listening to the Soul of Cinder soundtrack and Abyss Watchers soundtrack while watching you craft a great piece of work. Good job

[@vitorborges4666]

**Giant dad busts into the room* -You forgot a spot when painting. **Smashes sculpture with Zweihander* -Now do it again scrub. **Walks away while staring* Such is the Dark Souls way.

[@cthulhutron3244]

Vitor Borges ZWEIHANDER THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@vitorborges4666]

+Gigaparsec Holy fuck i'm dishonored for the rest of my entire life. Thanks for making me realize the mounted misery i've cast upon my very existence.I will now proceed to do a no-armor-caestus-only run of DankSouls:Prepare to get fuckin' rekt edition to attone for my sins. May the spirit of our supreme Daddy be with you all.

[@desotaku5202]

its called Zweihänder. Now do it all again

[@SynthGirl64]

[@TheFairladyfreak]

Whoaaaaa...This is a guy with real talent! You make it look easy... Astonishing work!

[@giovannipasaoa7731]

Amazing work, this feels so inspiring

[@papidaddy4329]

Guts from berserk would be dope

[@bloodrosereaper2099]

Has to be the Berserker Armor, though.

[@nurahmadhafizuddin5498]

Brandon Hargis Yesssss !!!!

[@jonspectre1103]

Mankej listen up

[@Lewis0_o]

yeeeah! like, firing his arm cannon while swinging his sword

[@Infrared-nyne]

One of the most beautiful statues I have ever seen my guy. Thank you

[@bigdaddymaq40]

Your work is undeniably the best I have ever seen! I'm an artist myself not a sculptor but a fan of sculpting works of art and you are truly gifted my friend! I love all the detail in your pieces.

[@Mankej]

With molding casting etc? about 110 hours

[@freakstylebjdstudios8198]

This comment makes me feel so relieved. I'm only able to work two hours a day and when week after week goes by, it makes me insecure, because I seem to take so. damn. long. But you take about as long as I do with something similarly detailed. *phew* Your work is awesome, btw!

[@sorryrooster2120]

Why did you show us the ass?

[@vastyan6851]

How much do you charge to make one of gears of war 4, my cap would be about 50 or 60 dollars.

[@finnrose7967]

Mankej which Castilene did you use? The soft or the hard one?

[@tsohgallik]

Badrawart Lol... I guess with that money he can make you a Chibi version of GoW

[@camrynh]

Very awesome little details and touches like the Estus and the message under his foot! (Or what I'm assuming to be a message lol).... Man I want one

[@groutcheum3008]

Such an awesome creation, thank you for your extraordinary work !

[@Crisisdarkness]

Wow, you have a tremendous gift, it's nice that you share your work, this will be an inspiration for future talented artists like you.

[@BusterKingSyros]

I love how suddenly at 3:40 Tracer's butt is facing the camera, totally not an accident I am guessing. Awesome work, truely inspiring.

[@Mankej]

Do I look like a man who makes assidents like that ?:)

[@rhythmtreble7311]

a booty to be proud of

[@rukonxaior7192]

[@connorhoward9934]

This is actually incredible. Honestly, you've hit god-tier. Like, you've transcended from the realm of mortals to the realm of rad detailed sculptures.

[@Traeumerify]

Just amazing my friend! Thats perfection!

[@PronomicalArtist]

[@alucard1495]

Now you have to put it in the Kiln of the First Flame😏

[@bellidrael7457]

[@ryanskene1088]

[@larrytheguy8409]

Truly amazing talent you have! How long did this take?

[@luizpaulo6535]

about 10 and half minutes

[@kiiranoz4802]

Larry The Guy 110 hours

[@tumitak372]

That kind of sculpting is my dream, how its possible to do smth like that?

[@Ethan_Golph]

Wow. Incredible work ! Just. Wow.

[@lucaswhite7526]

Absolutely love every one of your videos

[@grimly_comedian]

When you draw a good fan art piece of Solaire of Astora and then see this.

[@Mankej]

hehe glad you like it ;)

[@benzeno1995]

have you ever worked with Zbrush?

[@StinkyPoopyMcFartFace]

Absolutely amazing! Long may the Sun Shine in this Soul of Cinder!!!!!

[@iwzy4067]

[@12lordarthur97]

[@Mankej]

Airbrush and acrylics pants (createx Valleyo)

[@Blindmin]

lmao 3:35 he turns tracer around

[@arcanearts879]

NotChicken dat asss. Now everyone, say it with me *Dat ass*.

[@arcanearts879]

***** yes, yes we do. But sadly its not that simple and regardless of looks or charm some of us are just too busy to deal with having a girl friend Q.Q.

[@Jack_Woods]

*Inspiration...*

[@crazyluo5811]

Motivation is key lol

[@victoriapermata740]

Binatang

[@thefromge4483]

Wow just... beautiful I'm speechless.

[@Maedbh]

What a masterpiece! Amazing work, keep ot up 😄

[@krinaldoma]

Sees him put clay on the ground thinks "the ground should be easy just put random chunks of clay and it would look like ground". Sees textured rock formation with lava mind blown

[@MarcoriusXXL]

Está muy bien, aunque creo que debes vigilar con el peso de la figura... A medida que avanza el vídeo, se va cayendo cada vez más, hasta deformarse del todo el brazo que sostiene la espada de la hoguera XD. De todas formas lo haces bastante bien y con un gran detallado. Saludos y buen trabajo ;D.

[@mikeydoesart3151]

MarcoriusXXL traduction: you should be more careful with the weight of the figure

[@radicaldonkey9745]

MarcoriusXXL ...bravo!

[@cris1677]

Déjame. Como lo haces. Tu. Y. Haci comparas. Quién es mejor .Con hechos

[@omartoledo4544]

MarcoriusXXL Amigo disculpa yo hago figuras con plastilina un poco amateur y quiero intentar una figura como esta y me gustaría saber que tipo de material necesito por ejemplo si es plastilina cual es mejor y como endurecerla o que otro material me recomiendas utilizar porque aquí donde vivo hace muchísimo calor y quiero intentar hacer este tipo de trabajos.

[@ihsahnenrrique8838]

el la va moviendo para trabajar mejor en ciertas areas

[@michealandretis7243]

you have serious talent my friend. congradulations! keep it up!

[@TG-ni5pl]

A master at his work

[@dastaun]

what kind of zbrush plug-in is this ??

[@Mankej]

Itscalled Reality Engine XD

[@dastaun]

:) great job btw

[@dominusempyreus2383]

As opposed to the Unreal Engine? Fascinating.

[@JosrRocks]

Wonder why tracer flipped at 3:38

[@davemarx7856]

JosrRocks fan service wonderful fan service

[@Jack_Woods]

*For inspiration...*

[@joejoethepigeon2628]

It filled him with determination

[@wholikecake4245]

Was I the only one who did more looking at the sculptures in the background. Gives me enough time to really look at all the details 0w0

[@thepainangel1373]

keep up the great work they look awesome

[@blind8000ify]

9:39 hes aive guys!

[@404am3]

[@artsculpture1024]

The amazing thing is the molding and casting.

[@mslovelyshot]

This. Is. Incredible. I have so much respect for this craft. And not to mention I LOVE THESE GAMES!.😍👏

[@Mankej]

Thank you! :)

[@ChaseHoman]

0:03 Please someone else tell me they caught that. It's the little things that make this come together. I instantly clicked "like" after that.

[@Mankej]

What did you catch there ? ;D

[@ChaseHoman]

;D

[@CeretPenyok]

You mean that skeletal base?

[@jdogden1118]

Chase Homan OMG I JUST CAUGHT THAT😂😂😂✋🏻✊🏻

[@jdogden1118]

Mankej Aye my boi wassup

[@beanbag1415]

Do you put that in a kiln?

[@AbandonedSarlac327]

That's either an honest question or an awesome joke. If it is a joke then you have earned a like.

[@beanbag1415]

MachoNacho117 I wish it were a joke. 😅 I only ask because I'm interested in sculpting and know NOTHING about it. I didn't realize that was such a stupid question! 😂 RIP me.

[@cobbletiger]

I know this is a late reply but when he said "joke" he didn't mean you said something stupid. He thought you were giving a good joke because the character in this video, the Soul of Cinder, is located in the game at a place called the *Kiln* of the First Flame.

[@doverclocked]

that's awesome in so many levels ...

[@felix8567]

Nice work ann amazing because I love dark Souls 😍

[@zknightman74]

m8 do you sell your stuff?

[@faza87watch]

That's not soul of cinder (yeah it looks like it), that's red knight (firelink set armor).

[@Mankej]

Thats true :)

[@darkbornelines4587]

[@FastBoyBrax]

[@maxwellpollville1698]

Braxton Farley cuz she does it in the game. Sjw

[@davemarx7856]

Braxton Farley because he truly loves us and just wants us to be happy.

[@OcarinaGuy978]
