Let me know what you think! Which Courage the Cowardly Dog character should I make next?? Check me out on TikTok @aceofclay

[@The_BloodLessRose]

I'm early mister Ace

[@red-dq6ed]

Same

[@patriciathomas3656]

A realistic Courage Would be dope.

[@stephenwallace3771]

The cockroach from the sitar episode!

[@beaglegaming1490]

Freaky fred the barber Or make eustace with his mask and sitting in his chair

[@LiaTsukino]

'Return the slab! Or suffer my curse.' King Ramses was my favorite episode, despite it giving me nightmares as a kid! It was such a great episode with an amazing storyline. The things Courage does for love is remarkable!

[@beatricecampbell9631]

"What's your offer!" 😆

[@KuulSHep]

My favorite part in that episode was the cursed record player. Lol

[@pickles3998]

I always loved his catchphrase! Made me smile every time, “The things I do for love.” It’s just the way he says it is adorable.

[@kasugaifox8571]

Same.

[@CYBERJEKYLANTERN]

​@@beatricecampbell9631 return the slab 😂

[@theghost8792]

Courage was an great cartoon. So many interesting villains that would translate well into Ace of Clay's style. Fred the naughty barber, Katz and his spiders, the puddle Queen, Bushwick, the zombie director, the cat lady with the creepy mask, the weremole, the butler fly, Doc Gerbil and lots more

[@AFarmerCalledChicken]

Kitty wasn’t a villain, though. She was trying to save Bunny!

[@theghost8792]

@@AFarmerCalledChicken You are right. I think she'd still make an interesting sculpture.

[@aaronmejia6044]

The weremole and the black puddle woman are tops for me

[@NikkisorousRex]

I would LOVE to see your interpretation of Freaky Fred. His episode STILL freaks me out. I think it’s because of his giant smile, and I KNOW you can do it justice .

[@alexandermcadams3845]

be careful it might encourage you to be quite nauughty

[@tiffyffit2792]

The episode with King Ramses is LITERALLY my favorite episode, this dude was so creepy but also so cool. I loved his reaction when Courage would find ways to stop his plagues and the fact he didn’t need to physically interact with the characters to be a formidable force.

[@Lisa_Flowers]

YES! I love courage. King Ramses is perfect for your style, I can't wait to see more. Also the scariest villain is clearly that creepy-ass barber who was obsessed with shaving Courage..

[@moon_mouse8050]

Honestly I was about to type that dude

[@pumpkin_king0173]

Incredible! This guy was one of my worst fears as a kid. I used to be terrified whenever King Ramses’s Curse came on. “Return the Slab…” very ominous

[@akirito.ryu_ame.mothera]

Not a villain, but I would LOVE to see your rendition of the Star Maker squids from Courage! As for a villain, you should try making the Vet who sent Courage’s parents away, Katz, or the Black Puddle Queen, or the Stitch Sisters!

[@staryanaki]

I would absolutely return the slab if this version showed up in my front lawn. 😂 I would love to see your renditions of the “you’re not perfect” creature, Shirley the Medium, Kitty and Bunny, or the big toe creature.

[@ciaradeus]

I love courage! The black puddle queen would be awesome next! But anything from the show is cool :D

[@ciaradeus]

I'm so excited for your replay! Your so talented, and I love seeing your work each week! Thank you!

[@whiskeysierra8285]

I LOVE this show! I would love to see you do Katz, Freaky Fred, and Queen of the Black Puddle

[@mysterymeat1570]

He looks so cool!! Would love to see other courage characters in your style, especially the “you’re not perfect” guy. I always look forward to your vids :]

[@peggysims9469]

I love how down to earth Anthony is, he said I paid $10 for this brush that has 3 hairs...most folks say it was only $10.. if you listen people will tell you who they are!

[@Dan-sy7ip]

“Return the slab” is all I herd from him

[@BowsettesFury]

Was trying to type this and the damn app crashed.😂

[@tiffanyburch3656]

Do the creepy barber from courage the cowardly dog, this show was one of my favorites as a kid I can’t wait to see more characters from you!

[@kaljordan217]

I can almost hear the sculpture..."Return the slaaab" awesome!

[@Safikei]

Oh man, what a dive into my childhood. Courage was one of those cartoons that scared the living crap outta me, yet I couldn't stop watching. King Ramses turned out great!

[@MMDMizuki]

I loved Courage the Cowardly Dog as a kid but this was one episode that I would refuse to watch for how scary it was. Seriously, King Ramses scared the s*** out of me as a kid and now you brought my childhood nightmares to life. Still awesome sculpture though lol.

[@Alt87213]

This is really cool, kinda makes me think of that famous painting the scream. Which totally made me think it would be super cool to see you recreate a famous painting (that has a figure of some sort in it) but as a sculpted version of it.

[@erikvanern6178]

This is super cool!! I watched Courage the Cowardly Dog with my kids when they were little and it always made me laugh! I appreciate you carefully explaining your great piece of art from start to finish as I’m somewhat new to sculpting. Thank you!

[@margysama3393]

Return the Slaaab! I love this show so much. To be honest, Kings Ramsey never terrified me, instead I always loved this episode because the ridiculous lyrics to the song always made me laugh. Also you should make a sculpture of Fred the freaky barber. He wasn't really a bad guy but he was another character I liked a lot.

[@vinnygothika7510]

I don't even remember any of the villains watching this as a kid, I just remember that cat with the hollow eyes and the circular toothed mouth... That literally has a small part in my brain of horror images that stuck with me.

[@NixyRose72]

This episode scared the you-know-what outta me!! Out of all of them, Ramses was the most terrifying (for me, at least lol) and that was as an adult! Great job!! ""twitches"" The nightmares are gonna be vivid tonight lol

[@Jamiesayla]

Katz please. Courage still makes my day. “The things I do for love!”

[@sweetgeek44]

Courage was one of my favorite cartoons growing up. If you could make Eustice( the husband) with a removable mask. That would be AWESOME!

[@cbu5574]

Eustice was the real vilain

[@dawnfunck8928]

What a GREAT suggestion!!!

[@dawnfunck8928]

​@@cbu5574 he really was! Lol!

[@mythosmanaged7183]

YES KING! amazing I love it. You always have the best ideas for sculpting that's why I fell in love with your channel, you actually sculpt the nerdy things I love that no one else seems interested in creating Also can't wait to see more from the courage universe the amount of creepy villians you could have fun with!

[@dartmart9263]

Never heard of the show, but I really like how you made the Rameses villain, even though he kinda looks like a 1940s Hollywood diva. Lol

[@jenihardy09]

The Rameses song automatically started playing in my head LOL now I want it as a ringtone LOL

[@MuddaFuffa]

I love Army Painter paints. They also have the greatest brushes for detail that give soooo much control. Especially their 000 brush. Love this figure too!

[@emelb8918]

Great job as always! Imagine if he sculpts Carmen, the big Bayou or even that guys that was a puppeteer. I would love to see them honestly.

[@tosteson1]

You crushed it! The gesture in that shawl is beautiful!

[@tamar7065]

Oooh this is so good! The upgraded paints look way better (I could never get acrylics to look nice on sculptures, too chalky) and all the details you filled in from the relatively simple model work perfectly. I also never thought about mixing clay types like this, I really need to get my hands on some cosclay I think. Ramses scared me to death as a kid and I think it was because the era was juuuuust right for it to be the first time I'd seen CGI on television. I had no idea why he was moving so smoothly and didn't match anything else on screen and it freaked me the absolute fuck out. 😂

[@BettimusFrostCafe]

That's amazing, captures everything that made him hauntingly creepy 🫨

[@ruthkaiser6168]

He surly is a scary critter. I don't know his story but it sounds good. You are getting better at sculpturing all the time. This sculpture is amazing, his features and his wispy clothes are good. His hair is strange, he really only has three pieces? Very strange and I like him very much. Awesome job. 😊

[@marelizedutoit6320]

This is very cool! Love the way the fabric looks around it. It looks amazing.

[@leelee-wk1mp]

I lost sleep because of king Ramses 🤣. Great sculpt! The other iconic character I remember from the show was Black Puddle Queen. She'd be a cool next pick.

[@gamerboi93]

That episode freaked me out! That one and the episode with the spirit of the harvest moon. I would love to see you do that as well as the mattress demon!

[@1x1.studio]

Beautiful! I love how you are branching out with your styles! You are really giving us stunning options!!

[@angryspoon5797]

Absolutely phenomenal job making the wind swept look!!! Love this series!

[@ashleighroberts3392]

Evil mattress Muriel could be a fun challenge. Her wrinkled skin, the tendril like hair and the bed makes it almost like a diorama

[@th3j]

I looks so realistic! Loved it 😍

[@emphorepolpatinedasenate]

This was by far the scariest epnof courage to me personally, this man right here is ptsd in childhood form

[@Eibmozluver]

Wow! I just can't with your amazing creativity!!!! Totally looking up Courage to watch right now! That was so much fun to watch!!!! ❤️

[@twistedfoxy2328]

Always been a childhood favorite of mine!! Edit: id like to see you make Carmen or the Weremole! Also i love your work, it inspires me to make my own pieces with bakeable clay!!

[@hannahklein4255]

I would love to see the Perfectionist in your style! I thought she was the scariest villain when I was younger

[@blakerobb5614]

I definitely think you should make Katz next if that’s not who you were already thinking. I know he’s pretty simplistic but I think you could make him even creepier than he already was

[@racheldiane7856]

Oh my gosh!! I recently started sculpting because of you and your videos, and one of the characters I'm doing is Fred from Courage the Cowardly Dog. I was absurdly excited when I saw this thumbnail. Excellent choice, good sir 👏

[@StrangeSweetDreamer]

Love the show and Ramses! Hands down my favorite villain! I think it would be cool if you did the alien ducks next!

[@alliesaaurus]

FREAKY FRED PLEASE!! He is my favorite villain and I would love to see it in your style!

[@eadanime1741]

this character scared the SHIT out of me as a kid... and now i love them showing it affection!

[@BlaizeKH]

"Retuuurn the slaaaab, Retuuurn the slaaaab or suffer my curse" Scariest thing I ever heard when I was a kid

[@fruitastic1991]

So many to slchoose from. I really liked the puddle queen. I think its time for a courage marathon.

[@lilyday115]

my all-time favorite episode of the series and there's a lot of them because they're a lot bigger episodes and more wealth brought out was the windmill Vandals that was one of the arguably most darkest episodes in the entire series I like those ones that are more drawn-out like that one with the cannonballs that make people sad but windmill vandals it was just such a different level of freaky in the series that I just enjoyed I mean you got the one where courage was helping the cat girl and the bunny that one's a really deep episode but it can't compare to windmill Vandals

[@pinkdiamond44400]

I’m so glad you did a character from Courage!

[@Ghostrob2023]

I watched either a movie or episode of Scooby Doo with Courage the Cowardly Dog, and it was funny to watch. Thanks for posting and sharing the video. How about Black Puddle Queen for the next villain.

[@mycaelaransier7966]

Ooohh sure would love to see the Queen of the black lagoon (I'm sure you're fairly over mermaids at this point) or maybe Dr. Žalost, or the evil weavle?

[@BowsettesFury]

YAY!!!! Loved that show!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@valerierobbins5832]

I have not seen this show. My curiosity has given me the courage to see if I can find it. I also love this item and it holds your flair for creepy characters.

[@moppleggs]

I just watched the Drawfee stream where they drew Courage villains and I can’t wait to see more sculptures from you

[@seattlelights206]

Absolutely love this. You do such a great job

[@samanthadean1083]

I’d love to see your take on Mondo, from the Mondo Magic episode!!! That was my fav episode!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@laurenvanderhoven9981]

I love your sculptures they are so cool I really enjoy watching how they are made

[@alexahoza9028]

The Hubchback He's such a nice fella and I think he would look good in your style

[@wondrousworkshopofxenucede4859]

If you’re gonna make a bunch of Courage villains could you do one build of Courage relaxing on Aunt Muriel’s lap on her rocking chair to even out the horror?

[@claudemorneau9491]

He looks amazing. Great job as usual

[@hiraliousart]

He is very cool. I like the trick you used with the floral wire. Love it! 🧡💜

[@BlackBeastWorkshop]

That black puddle queen in her monster form could be good to make. Or that guy who shaves courage, Fred.

[@ryearanda]

Amazing work! 💛 You should do Freaky Fred next! He's me favourite villain in the series. 😁😁

[@T.Webbie]

So awesome!!! Very excited for these courage videos...pllllease do the witch in the puddle!

[@HeilielPrince]

This episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog really seems to have stuck with many of us. I watched it in my pitch dark room which certainly upped the creepy factor.

[@Sleepyshy712]

Classic episode. king Ramses was so terrifying i hide every time it came on And please make kaz lol he was the creepiest villain on the show

[@phantomfire130]

this sculture.. is PURE LEGEND!

[@People_Scare_Me]

Can’t wait for the rest of this series courage it my fav

[@shanemane4249]

Bought a bunch of clay material after watching so many of your vids as they’re absolutely fantastic. Also, It’d be cool to see a twisted version of Hey Arnold with his football head or Rocko from Rocko’s modern life

[@andrea.rivers]

Love how you integrate CosClay and regular. He turned out great! Folkart paints have their place, but I've began to upgrade my paints and brushes. I've been using some of my husband's Vellejo paints and the coverage, saturation and true intuitive mixability has kinda spoiled me. 😬☺️

[@animattions64]

The man in gauze himself! Great job, dude!

[@innocentchild1513]

Bro this episode scared the living soul outta me when I first watched it like 💀

[@FilmmakeroftheFuture]

That’s a beautiful sculpture!

[@GetGood_1023]

Hey, I love your sculptures ❤

[@motorbichael]

this dude gave me NIGHTMARES as a kid omg, he looks fab!

[@brianahawkins8124]

Nicely done, see you next time.

[@NaicheYote]

This turned out super cool! Will you eventually be returning to the mental health monster line from the mutant universe? I’d love to see DID (disassociative identity disorder), BPD (borderline personality disorder), or autism (autism would be hard though, as it varies so much from person to person). Your work is always so neat, I always look forward to your videos. Happy sculpting!

[@gingerbordeaux9055]

The robes/shawl are impressive!

[@eggsnducks]

It looks so good😍😍😍😍

[@katytener1982]

OMG! I love Courage! This is definately better than the Disney princess series (in my opinion). Katz is my favorite villian. Although Fred the freaky barber is my favorite episode... Not too scary though. Thanks for this!

[@dawnfunck8928]

It couldn't have been done any better than this!!!

[@chippychippychychy2313]

That was the one episode I remember being extremely terrified watching as a kid 😂

[@Tezukamaya]

BRO king ramses scared me as a kid LoL 😆 i remember i would hide under the covers at night in my mom's room. Courage the cowardly dog got some very unique characters. Plus it be cool to see Katz in your style.

[@karinasanchez3285]

🙌🙌🙌 another wonderful creation !!!

[@sandraatkinson8855]

Oh Fred the naughty barber. I love Courage. My granddaughter loves him now.

[@cassandranelander1689]

Love this! I vote AHHH Real Monsters characters as a series!

[@rean.rean4ever817]

As a kid I would watch Courage so much, the doctor saying “What’s up with that” has become an inside joke with my parents. I quote this show all the time.

[@furubaprincessyuki18]

I know you like to do the spooky stuff but I would love to see you actually make a tiny Courage! ❤

[@NickWalters_420]

This is amazing! You always do super wonderful work. I’d absolutely love to see a weremole or Jeeves Weevil!

[@gamingborger]

i love him. brings me back to when i watched the show

[@sikujacob4556]

I like that he looks a lot like the real Ramses the II if he came back to life as a zombie. Very good.

[@Impishartistry]

I love this!!

[@SasukeUchiha758]

I think a sculpture of William Birkin from Resident Evil 2 would be amazing:)

[@CreativeDesignbyJessica]

I love Courage the Cowardly Dog. RETURN THE SLABBBBB... Classic... Id like to see that funky festering purple character:"Big Toe" TFS Be Blessed

[@sustelsuk]

Pure nightmare Bravo my good man ! Just scary as I seen it back when I was a child
