What about doctor octopus

Sure

Did it work??

Maybe you'll summon an Ace

I don’t think so.... cards where thrown at me.....

He'll just leap out and recreate you using the explorer tool and broken palette knife...

I commented this on your last video, but I really want to see a creepy version of the mad hatter (from Alice in wonderland) Edit: thanks for all the likes on my comment!

[@caitlin4865]

I’d love to see the version of him (or the Cheshire Cat) from the game Alice: Madness Returns, that would be cool!

[@beansama7752]

Hey glad to see you back! I hope he does get the request!

[@creepycutiecrafty6637]

@@caitlin4865 oooh, any incarnation of the Cheshire Y would be awesome, but yes, the Alice Madness Returns version for sure!

[@JinxNightcore]

@@caitlin4865 yeah me to

You could make ET because I think it has cool textures and would be a bit of a challenge

This sounds so cool!!

YES! ET was and STILL IS one of my favorite movies!!! ET phone home. 🤣

The demon barber and his bloody chair in a mini diorama!

[@otyugsdisplacerbeasts7943]

JOKER PLEASE GOD

[@SomaShiori]

I love how when it comes to Tim Burton's live action movies most are just "which Johnny Depp character should I do next?" I love those two together!!!

[@goldenboy82]

That pose he's in reminds me of the part where he shouts at the Maitland's "Ya bunch of losers. You’re workin’ with a professional here!"

[@aceofclay]

What did you think of Beetlejuice?? Not gonna lie, I'm liking this 80s/90s monster character series lol. Who should I make next? Check me out on Insta and Twitter @aceofclay

[@ArAsDeCos]

A Big Sister from Bioshock!

[@DrPester847]

I think you should try to make the 1978 Michael Myers, it would be interesting to see your style mix with that kind of character!

[@lolaphilippe2993]

I know it’s not to do with the same theme but you could do et because it has lots of cool textures and could be challenge

[@ldavis7809]

OMGosh!! Thank you thank you!!

[@griffy_bobiffy]

A Gremlin (from the movie Gremlins)

[@amberthompson3912]

You should do jareth(David Bowie) from labyrinth

Yes!🤞❤

You remind me of the babe!

[@Haku_Howl]

I agree with this

[@cherrybomb2760]

I'd love to see you sculpt a wedding cake topper but make the zombies or something

[@subjectnumberx6669]

The zombies front eh avenged sevenfold music video, little peace of heaven!

[@themercurialmoxie]

Great job, on this guy! I'd like to see you do a Gene Wilder version of Willy Wonka. 😊 Another of my favorite film characters.

[@josephdolman]

That is a brilliant suggestion loved that movie

[@Avery-zp4lj]

Bettlejuice is the best movie out there in my opinion

[@thisisside01]

You mentioned sculpting a lot of wedding cake toppers, you should sculpt a monster version. That could even be a series with different monster couples And definitely sculpt your dog to scale with mini-you!

[@ARTSIEBECCA]

Will you do Lydia in her red wedding gown please! He needs his bride 😊

[@TheTrueBoxQueen]

I would LOVE to see a sculpture of your puppy! What if you did her in a matching Tim Burton-esque style to your sculpture of yourself? It'd be like the best matching set ever! As always, love the video. Beetlejuice has a soft spot in my heart. You're just so good at what you do and it's inspiring!

[@beansama7752]

"Though I know I should be wary, still I venture someplace scary, ghostly hauntings I turn loose, beetlejuice beetlejuice beetlejuice!" I know this is the movie Beetlejuice, but I had to quote the cartoon chant lol

[@johnnick3131]

Yes, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!!! Next do Two-Face or The Joker.

[@JoseHernandez-vp2ij]

Yes you're doing Beetlejuice awesome

[@mush9217]

I love beetlejuice!!! My dad even gave me nickname “beetlejuice” because of my hair. 😂

[@BertRamDam]

These look really great! Keeping with the Tim Burton theme, how about a Martian from Mars Attacks!

[@ArAsDeCos]

Okay, that is spooky. I was just listening to the Beetlejuice musical

[@Orangecatinahoodie]

Yay another Bj the musical fan!

[@ArAsDeCos]

@@Orangecatinahoodie What's your favourite song? Mine would have to be Say My Name or Dead Mom

[@Orangecatinahoodie]

@@ArAsDeCos hmm, probably the whole being dead thing part 2 or what i know now

[@Orangecatinahoodie]

@@ArAsDeCos which one did you watch?

[@ArAsDeCos]

@@Orangecatinahoodie I've seen both the musical (thanks to youtube) and the movie.

[@donnamagana9839]

You should make the Beetlejuice tombstone... the one that says “here lies Beetlegeuse” and has the three demons hanging on it!

[@williamj.booratblackshire8196]

I'd like the Carnival Barker version of Beetlejuice from near the end of the movie!

[@jennylawson1980]

He is beyond creepily gorgeous. He is one of my favorite characters of all time. Great job Ace! I love all the fun extra details.

[@mateen1073]

Love your videos. My mom loved your Edward Scissor hands sculpture.

[@aceofclay]

thank you! tell ur mom i said hi :-D

[@cinnamonsugarcourtney6073]

*Random Trivia Time!:* Did you know? The character commonly known as "Beetlejuice" is actually named Betelgeuse after the star in the Orion constellation? You can see his name spelled out a few times during the feature film. :D

[@cakediva7326]

Yeah. That's why they pronounce it "Beetle-gise" at the beginning.

[@Homiebandaid]

He is the "star" of the show lmao

[@cherrybomb2760]

Oh yeah and at the beginning where it has the main people’s names, someone misspelled it “Beetlejuice” and it got past the editors lol

[@marksedlak8386]

Thank you ACE! I like these SO much more than the "creepypasta" sculpts, which frankly all looked the same. These show your sculpting skills to a far greater extent. Keep 'em coming! I would truly LOVE to se your version of FLUFFY from Creepshow!

[@mookzmom]

Had to pause to go watch the movie. Realized I hadn't seen it since my kids were little and they're in their 40s now. These last two sculpts bring me back to a very happy time in my life. Great job, Anthony!

[@OGThunderbird]

It's showtime!!!

[@CrownRock1]

I'd like to see you try a Robocop sculpture. It's really different from your normal style, but I think you could kill it!

[@theoneandonlysmallville4294]

You should do the second version with him having the big top circus hat and the rolled up arms.

[@popze]

Beetlejuice is one of my all-time faves from Tim Burton! I've watched it so many times and I often watch it for October! Love the sculpture! It looks so good :D

[@debibeverly0609]

“Watch it again” we have been watching some oldies, it’s been great! It is a good time when it’s too cold to do anything and school is closed, too.

[@carriemckerrow]

Eeeeeek Beetlejuice! Love him!

[@rodney8806]

Since were going down a Burton thing here I would like to ask if you could make one of the aliens from Burtons Mars Attacks! I think that would look sick

[@creepycutiecrafty6637]

Every Friday I tune in, and every Friday I'm gobsmacked at the amazing quality of your work! The eyes really draw the gaze, and the likeness is spot on! Did I hear right? Anthony used to make wedding cake toppers? I would love to see what they were like! I'm guessing creating unique sculptures is preferable...

[@ExcuseTheNeonDancer]

Since you're on a Tim Burton kick, I would love to see you sculpt Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman or Lydia Deetz in her red wedding gown!

[@elisewest6524]

I seriously think you should do some Ancient Egyptian God's and Goddesses like Anubis and Set and Thoth

[@ricardoebl]

Instead of my notification alert I just heard: 6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot bunch!!

[@jerrybailey5797]

That is just incredible Ace , you've captured the character of Beetlejuice perfectly , top job 👌👍

[@PJ-ul9re]

Been waiting all day for the Ace of Clay video😁

[@jacobk33]

I love beetlejuice he is so cool keep doing great every week love your work :)

[@joanduthie1689]

I haven't seen Beetlejuice in a long time. Like, since I was little. I didn't understand it, I just thought it was silly (and a little spooky). Nice sculpture anyways. Keep it up. Maybe I should watch that again soon.

[@swearenginlawanda]

I never actually watched it until just a few days ago. I never had a desire until watching Bentley House Minis do her build.

[@torquess454]

The Beetlejuice cartoon was my fav as a kid! I own the movie of course too! You should def make your pup into a monster! I’m in awe of you sculpting things like lapels that hang out and tiny hands, the likeness in his face is excellent! His mouth is wicked perfect!!

[@qualityname9166]

Dude, I love Beetlejuice, one of my favorite movies. Need to watch it again soon 😁

[@imthemaryyouretherhoda286]

This is one of my all time favorite movies! I love everything about this movie, from the story and plot, to the actors and actresses, the costumes, the special effects, and the music included in it!

[@AssSensei]

You should try sculpting your own take on Quasimodo!

[@S2ThaB5145]

You did an absolutely fantastic job on that face ! Just by taking a glance you can tell that it is a sculpture of Michael Keaton. Bravo Anthony!

[@Onandagus]

Super glad you are starting to diversify your sculpture poses!

[@SilverCraftSurvival]

I love your sculpts and the way u make them it looks easy but as soon as i try, it takes time and effort...😅but yr sculpts still look perfect

[@kittyfuture1069]

As soon as I got the notification, I bolted so fast to watch it. Love the sculpture, it’s great as always. Though I kinda miss watching you make the armature

[@chriscavy]

He turned out great, his stripes are perfect. Also the 5-finger hands are really beautiful, I'm impressed as always

[@mjpete27]

The Talented Lady Ara, at "Bentley House Mini's" did a Beetlejuice creation just the other day! Very well done too! You took it to a different level, but hers is made ratio wise for her houses and furniture creations!

[@MikaylaROL]

No wonder he likes creepy stuff- he’s tired of the “cheerful/wedding” stuff 😂😂😂

[@polythenepam3236]

How about a zombie unicorn???🧟‍♂️🦄OMG ur puppy is gorgeous 😍

[@matrich09]

Omg omg I love this one have waited since I started watching your chanel to see you make Beetlejuice

[@katiebellmichelle]

I know you love Tim Burton, so it’s fun to see you make some of his live action characters as well. Amazing job💜💜💜

[@wyverndragon902]

When I got the notification for this video my first response "Heck Yeah!"

[@kalikennetic2902]

Because your sculptures are various thicknesses around the model, how do you decide how long and hot the oven should be too bake properly?

[@rosetarbell7274]

His technique just keeps getting better and better! I learn so much from watching him work.

[@tashaawright]

Yes! I love anything Tim Burton! 😍 So excited to watch this! I'm really enjoying this new format of video too! ☺️

[@sansoncommunitymarket2869]

I'd love to see a female character come to life, so how about one of the Sanderson sisters...Winifred would be fantastic ❤️

[@skipmcgripcunningham9897]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@astrobread7602]

My cousin has the same exact dog! Like all colors and everything and her name is also Lucy!

[@TracyDi]

SO GOOD!! Keaton as Beetlejuice has been on my radar to draw for a while.

[@kaitlyn8lyn]

You have such a great personality, I'm so glad we get to see it more in this format! You've gotten so much more comfortable on camera. It's also nice to see that your process isn't as perfect and refined as it appeared in the voiceovers, and you get stuck or unsure sometimes. You are so massively talented!

[@athaliahernandez9750]

When you have the time to you should totally make a video making another little nightmares character! Like maybe one from the second game! Like maybe six, Mono, the teacher, the doctor, the viewers, the hunter, or even the thin man! Aka OLDER MONO!!!! It would be so cool if you made one of them sometime :3

[@3DPlasticFantasy]

Wow the nostalgia here. What about making something more creepier (Ash from The Evil Dead) ?

[@gennyquevillon1716]

He looks amazing! And yes! Please sculpt your sweet doggo! Such a good girl watching over her human ^^

[@shawnhunter4154]

I would love to see you sculpt the characters from Scooby Doo. I think they would be well represented by your style, and aside from the Mystery, Inc gang, there are SO MANY creatures! As an added challenge, maybe you could do some of the monsters with a removable piece to reveal the real villain underneath?

[@deepblueday]

Would love to see you do FREDDIE KRUGER!!

[@moda78z]

Just a heads up: The link in the description doesn’t work.
