Sculpting Baby Yoda Part 2

Part 2 of Making Baby YodaThis week we make the ears, body and hands and prep for making the clothes. I go through my clay and tools and how to get certain textures in the clay. Enjoy!
Also, I reference several different channels in the episode that I'm a big fan of, so check those out here:

How does this not have more views/likes? This is the best recreation BY FAR. He's so perfect

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Thanks! I’m pretty new to KZbin and they don’t promote my stuff so much until I get more views and subscriptions. Just the way KZbin works I guess. Share it and help the channel! Thanks for the great compliments, much appreciated!!

[@SarahZuech]

@@jeditsuyoshi I'm sure it'll take some time and patience to gain momentum, but with the quality of your work, there's no way it won't blow up. I'm excited to see more!! (even if it's not baby yoda-related haha)

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Can’t buy this one on Etsy

[@jasoncaldwell0613]

Didn't know the child had a tail? Lol so cute.

[@29DPT]

Jason Caldwell I know soooo adorable so cute

[@jeditsuyoshi]

I figured it kinda fit - no idea if he does or not, but thought it looked kinda cute.

[@tatianaalexander149]

By far the best recreation of baby Yoda I have seen. You are such an amazing artist. If you decide to make multiples, I would definitely purchase one. The way your captured his features, is as if you actually worked on the set of The Mandalorian. Way more realistic than anything Hasbro has come out with. Super cute.

[@OriginalSkeleton101]

Um I'm starting to make a miniature baby yoda um I'm not sure but if I get a esty account I might sell one

[@jeditsuyoshi]

​@@OriginalSkeleton101, I would just be careful - i have heard some people are getting C&D letters from Disney. But good luck!

[@hollyrasmussen4065]

I really like how you give muscle groups and reference points. Really helps

[@joakperey]

this is the best baby yoda sculpture i've seen so far, good job!

[@berkleypearl2363]

This little baby is so cute! He makes me so happy! He reminds me a lot of Deet from the dark crystal series on Netflix with his big buggly round eyes

[@berkleypearl2363]

James Wright how have you not seen Age of Resistance yet! It’s the most beautiful television show ever! The second you get some free time you’ve got to see it

[@lexs926]

Loving how he’s coming together! Can’t wait to see the end result!

[@och70]

What's cuter than Baby Yoda? Baby Yoda's little hiney with a little tail.

[@29DPT]

och70 I know 😇😇😇💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸

[@ComingSoonOnVHS]

Ha! Love the pitch meeting style beginning!

[@mitrooper]

You got his face right, you really captured his distinct baby look, not allot of artists out there can do that. I think you and Steven Richter are the only ones so far IMHO.... Dr Garuda comes a close second. Lorecraft's version looks way to old to be Baby Yoda for example.

[@kat-we2ny]

you’ve done such a crazy good job so far & rly captured how he looks in the show, i’m so excited to see him finished :)

[@merveerozan5905]

The head is great omg love it, but the hands are supposed to be much smaller

[@merveerozan5905]

@@jeditsuyoshi No problem. The hard part was the head and the face and u did an amazing job! even the official toys' face aint good but u managed to do it!

[@asianwanderer7243]

What’s the work time on the clay before it starts to stiffen, I know you can always heat it up to remold a bit. What I’ve read is that at 72 degrees or higher it still hardens pretty well. Do you keep your studio temp a higher temp? To allow more work time?

[@alannunes_esculturas]

Baby Yoda em LifeSize 👏👏👏 aí sim!

[@usuario986]

EXACTLY!!

[@plants5743]

Best one so far

[@creeperboy101yt9]

💚BABY YODAS SO CUTE 💚

[@jcdemp7513]

The beginning pretty much says it all

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Not sure what that means

[@thun44]

Looks amazing James🤘

[@Taradoxxi]

The teeny tail is such an adorable bit of artistic license, ahhh ❤️ It reminds me a bit of a tadpole- which is fitting imho, considering both the baby’s taste for space frogs & og Yoda ‘s swampy home.

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Right!? That's what I thought too. Thanks!

[@hgreer90]

This is the best one I’ve seen so far! Love it!

[@kayeschlenert95]

Pitch meeting 🤣🤣🤣making baby Yoda was super easy, barely an inconvenience 🤣🤣🤣

[@LordBeerusHakai]

Im say it on this video too, AMAZING work and the best baby yoda I have ever seen!! Keep up the awesome work :D

[@Vanya3342]

I have never believed that it can be recreated by hand from human so closely to the original. I want one, dude :) Please, tag me here whenever you can sell them. This is revolutionary.

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Wow! That’s high praise! Thank you very much! I’m not finished perfecting him yet though. When I’m done I’ll put another video up for everyone

[@berkleypearl2363]

Super easy and super effective! Have you been watching Ace of Clay recently? He’s great

[@SevdaQaflanova]

Wow nice🎉❤

@@jeditsuyoshi cheers m8. My passion robocop lol

[@darthbuzz1]

Hello, what sort of clay is this? Not the make, the type. My air dried stuff is rubbish... OK, just read description and I will watch to the end. ANSWER: Chavant Modeling Clay is a re-useable sulfur free, professional oil/wax based sculpting medium. Composed entirely of non-toxic, food grade components. Which is better, Chavant or Monster? What is the lighter fuel for? Thank you James Wright.

[@darthbuzz1]

Thanks for the replies. Videos like this really help out 51 year old novices like me.

When you plan finish him for casting? :D

Gave credit to sculpture geek fo the tool, a shout out to Bobby and used a super easy and super effective ref without throwing anything's name out. Tag line for Ace of clay. An Amazing Sculptor.

@@jeditsuyoshi I love zed. Handsome boi is so cute too I subscribed to you today idk how I haven't stumbled across your videos before now. Ur one of the greats too

[@shaymckenzie9932]

wut clay do u use? plz put a link for it in the description of next vid.

[@616productions8]

The head's nearly perfect, but those sausage hands are way to large for that little guy. Hopefully you'll fix them in the next episode. Awesome job though!

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Yeah, check out the newer one and lemme know what you think.

Looked like Freddy Freaker in the beginning

[@virtualadmonisher6844]

For us novices, why lighter fluid?

[@RowanWarren78]

Hi James! Could you tell me what kind of clay you are using?

[@kaoskult]

Gorgeous work, man! You're so fuckin' good! But I think the hands have to be much more smaller!

[@kaoskult]

@@jeditsuyoshi it's a real pleasure helpin' you! :)

[@davidpigot8640]

Can I ask why you add the lighter fluid?

[@jeditsuyoshi]

David, it dissolves, or melts, the clay just a bit, helping to smooth it out. The clay is a chavant, so lighter fluid is my final clean up technique. 70% to 100% alcohol will also work but isn’t quite as abrasive.

[@dd60622]

Please! Can I have it?!?!

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Sorry, this is promised to someone who worked on the show.

[@joob4582]

Is this illegal because he is a baby but also 50 years old so

[@AlexTapisevic]

You screw uo a little with the sasquash hands... besides that everything's awesome.

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Yeah, I fix that in the next video. Thanks though!

[@My2Drumsticks]

If the body going to be hidden, why not make him jacked like Stewy on roids?

[@jeditsuyoshi]

My2Drumsticks YES!!!!

[@The-Story-Assassin]

Tail?

[@The-Story-Assassin]

Because it’s kind of creepy.

[@Rambleon31]

Very nice work but you forgot that Baby Yoda needs to be cute

[@BabeRock1]

Could have did without the dance mix

[@jeditsuyoshi]

Not really sure what kind of music fits a time lapse. Any ideas? I’m more of a jazz guy myself, but pretty sure that isn’t a good match.
