Sculpting D.Va from Overwatch !

[@id104335409]

Got inspired to make my own Dva, started my clay shaping, 200 hours later I got something that resembles Slimer from Ghost Busters.

[@Peepawpeep]

Lol

[@WillusKenny]

thats kinda what happens when you're just beginning

[@JSanctum]

Amazing! What slight and meticulous working! This was definitely a treat to watch, so VERY COOL. You are an adept at your craft man, easily subbed. Thank you for the upload!

[@Derikimi]

Waiting for blizzard to put this on their spotlight.....Any second now...

[@spazterr6003]

sunnydog101 do you understand the words "8 months ago"

[@mercymainbtw8132]

ikr

[@ErgonomicChair]

Lol more likely they'll sue him for copyright infringement. Blizzard are complete assholes.

[@spazterr6003]

sunnydog101 What?

[@spazterr6003]

sunnydog101 "Shut up because you corrected me, Harrdy harr harr."

[@uhhhmiah2770]

Dude, this is hella rad. Your sculptures are amazing

[@ivvevrbanovic4876]

Awesome job. Would love to see how you make your moulds and the whole process of make duplicates of your statues :-)

[@HelloDrRussell]

When can we see some that Mercy that's in the background.

[@atlasvellichor]

and the Junkrat

[@ZENTCG]

Man, you just earned a fan. This is high level stuff! Really awesome!

[@Mankej]

Glad to hear that you like it

[@martinbasic4224]

This is spectacular, awesome work. I am a beginner in sculpting and my work cannot compare with your masterpiece. Keep up the awesome work. Make more videos, i really enjoy watching your creations.

[@AnniMenow]

They showed this video at the overwatch isle at Gamescom! I'm amazed.

[@dngnillo]

Mankej, seu trabalho é incrível. Admiro muito como você realiza as coisas. Fonte de inspiração para muitas pessoas. Obrigado!

[@Mankej]

Thank you ! :D

[@ChaseSandman]

That Mercy at the back looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing how you did it!

[@Agramsch]

So I want to know once you finished the Castilene figure and before you started to colour the copies, how did you separate the figure into detachable parts, did you dismantle your dried up Castilene figure? Just want to know how you ended up with seperate parts. And how do you stick your copies back together.

[@Niojoki]

I see the Mercy and the Junkrat sculptures. I can't wait to see a video about these. You earned a new subscriber. Keep up the amazing work :D

[@cejaythegreatandawesome]

Dude I suggest you have those wire bases premade so you ace to bend them into shape when filming

[@shoegum7362]

:O That Sylvanas sculpt. Must have one!

[@jenscornegoor]

absolutely stunning, I would buy that! Its so detailed, keep up the great work!

[@pjaie]

This is some ridiculously good sculpting!

[@Mankej]

Thank you very much :)

[@Seymour101]

That's insane , great job once again .

[@LuEvigan]

WOW, just found your channel. I LOVE YOUR WORK, you're an artist!

[@Mankej]

Thank you ;)

[@sloopernine]

How do you make the copies? For example, some angles seem impossible to cast, I guess you need to cut the original into pieces or something? What materials do you use when casting? Please include that process into some video where you talk us through the steps and materials.

[@Mankej]

I cut and Key the statues carefully before molding

[@kris2317]

Geez. You deserve so many subscribers!! This stuff is amazing!!

[@badgermeat4855]

You're really good! Keep sculpting man!

[@j.mckeewa2033]

wow, such skill, much talent !!

[@Mustache128]

With this video alone you got yourself a new subscribbler

[@appuba69]

Это просто супер круто! Ты молодец!

[@david0vreiu856]

Man, that's so realistic!!! Good job!

[@roadbreach]

DAYUM she got back

[@fabiankoch483]

Jesus Christ Blizzard give this man a Job...

[@TincoFAnimations]

I was hoping for a 3D sculpting tutorial, wasn't disapointed ;)

[@_le_clapped_frog_memes2311]

If u have a hater slap him in the face with this and say NERF THIS

[@icekitty11]

Dino-Hat Studios it would break :(

[@Dreez76]

you got mad skills, i don't understand why you wouldn't be working for Blizztard or another big company.

[@Mankej]

actually not yet that good :)

[@fromdusttodiamonds5248]

awesome another great video and scuplture

[@moscadgv1593]

How did you learn to sculpt? You are very good

[@Mankej]

By trial and error me myself and my loneliness :)

[@Omegasutoraiki]

Mosca DGV sculpting isn't that difficult most of the time unless you are doing a full body sculpture because you have to be able to make every part of the body. I make very nice sculptures and it is my first year in High school sculpting. It just takes a lot of time but it is fun.

[@JONtheULTIMATE]

by sculpt, he meant, "DAT ASS DOUGH!"

[@littlecurrybread]

That's how you do it, nice.

[@einblick989]

Absolutely AMAZING!!!! Subbed! can't wait to see more!

[@janeybuehrer349]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@officerbabylegs9789]

Great job, you're amazing!

[@animebrains6859]

i see that mercy back there. and my body is ready

[@braxatikus3640]

saw the piece on your sculpting in Kotaku & you are amazing

[@Mankej]

Thank you :)

[@CRAZYPT22]

Holly shit that's amazing!!!! Great work!!!

[@Mankej]

Thank You

[@MakZor]

How long does it take to make a sculpture? :)

[@Mankej]

100-120 hours ( sculpting takes 40-70h of that time)

[@DaSpineLessFish]

Hey Mankej, do you mind making a video on how you cast copies in resin because I want to sculpt some figures for my friend but I also wants a copy to keep.

[@Mankej]

I might do it in the future :D

[@DaSpineLessFish]

Mankej I see, thank you for the fast response! Keep up the great work mate!

[@unifoft]

this is amazing.

[@randomsandwichian]

Few things that I'd like to suggest to add to your already awesome build: I notice your hair to head ration for female models seem to be rather thick, slightly thinning the hair piece would make them more lively rather than cartoonish For the bases, I'd recommend adding flocking to create green or moss textures, though you might find it difficult if it's not available locally. Ever thought of adding wiring and electronic lightings into your build? Though that may require a different set of sculpting skills (acrylic/plastics) to recreate the desired effects. Great job and looking forward to more awesome builds from you!

[@boxerRN]

I would pay 100 to 200 dollars for some of these sculptures, very high quality.

[@SolisDevil]

Fantastic work!

[@junhaozhang6915]

hi i love your work, how do you manage to make the molds of your sculpture? in fact what exactly do you use to make duplicates of your work?

[@vplusultra]

2nd0000000000 I don't know exactly what he is using, but a generally good bet for making molds is silicone. Preserves a lot of detail, but sometimes can be a pain in the ass to work with.

[@Kokose]

I think it might be resin.

[@Kokose]

VPlusUltra silicone is not stiff...

[@rebeccawoffard5225]

The description says that it's casted and molded with resin, but I'd like to know how they get the copies to come out so seamless.

[@kabyel4125]

*Damn, I love this.*

[@aliicendll]

I need this with the carbon fiber skin or palanquin omg

[@WolfandRaven]

Randomly stumbled upon this...amazing work!! subbed :D

[@Cornpalaceboy]

Why do you make 3 sculpts? At first I thought it was for if you messed up on the paint, but it could be for if you break one. I'm not sure and it would be nice to find out why.

[@Karakasasan]

+1 respect from me D.va=life

[@yesid3016494731]

You are amazing, i like your work!

[@DeadChannelSeeBluetheNerd]

Do you/ will you sell any of these? Would love to buy the D.Va one!

[@silhendriks1154]

Indeed, you should open a webshop. I'd buy a lot there.

[@jsms1013]

It might get damaged while on shipping, but, that would be pretty cool!

[@fen4554]

Hundreds and hundreds of dollars...

[@Tackleberry61]

it doesn't say in the description....

[@jefferygiraffe2668]

it says he's willing to do commissions. Therefore a form of him selling his sculptures

[@power_serg2122]

always wanted to get into sculpting, but I'm always scared of the price behind actually buying everything you need to create things... but seeing this really motivates me to just say "F°°° it" and go for it.

[@Mankej]

I was motivated like that a few years back

[@nanocastmanutd]

This is awesome. Do you paint the original or you made resin copies?

[@Gr8edcheze]

I really want to see how you cast things and then put them together

[@Kalipp0]

Awesome job once again. Question about your mold making: I assume you use steel armature wire, how do you part your sculpt before molding?

[@Mankej]

Jeweler Saw and then resculpt the Dmg and key the statue

[@BruceKenobi]

Amazing!!! absolutely Amazing!!! I wish I had those skills! are these for sale?

[@MicheyTheOnly]

That's SO cool! :D

[@malikmanautou2960]

After you make the basic armature, do you just make up your own pose and start sculpting?

[@willbe3043]

Castilene! I love 'em.

[@KillerTacos54]

Insane dude

[@neireth]

Aw, Sylvanas...

[@Plutotherealplanet]

Whoa! This is cool

[@JellyBunyProductions]

Where do you get your wood that you use for your bases? Do you make it or do you buy it in bulk? PS I love your work.

[@codethetoad4327]

Can you tell me more about your process? I’ve always been artistic and I’d like to try my hand at doing this. I’m just curious about the molding process.

[@pmsmercy6909]

If you ever sell the Mercy one, I'd definitely be interested.

[@neodeg7041]

Hey... I have discovered sculpture today and I'm interested ! But I know nothing, I don't know where to start ... Do you have any suggestions about the clay or tutorial videos ? I thank you a lot, you're doing an amazing work ! :) - A french guy

[@dbal_3d]

That's really impressive! Could you please explain how did you make removable head and arm? Since they weren't removable and they were the part of the frame in the beginning.

[@Sirusdark]

Hey Mankej! Would it be possible to attach in your video's descriptions some quick tech spec in bullet-points? It would save a lot of time for everyone to know details such as: duration, type of clay(s) used, tools, type of metal rods, etc. Also, got videos of the casting process of those copies? Thanks!

[@birdy369]

Sirusdark type of paint too! It's like every sculpting video I see on youtube, they never specify what their medium is!

[@EurekaEsculturas]

Great!!! Is made of Polimer Clay???

[@Mankej]

Oil based clay

[@the555deal1]

Great job!

[@gustavofedrizzi6411]

make a artorias sculpting :) (from dark souls)

[@AnanYMouse-pj7uw]

Yesssss

[@akira5913]

can u show the process how u make the mould after u sculpt the figure.. just curious about the process..

[@Bubunya]

Your sculpting skills are amazing. It was pleasure to watch this, and any other of your videos. But my two cents here - that kind of amazing sculptures deserved to be painted by pros :) No offense here, just a facts.

[@RealParadoxed]

How long did this take? This is amazing! I want one :D

[@gauthierleclere1486]

You're f*cking crazy! Your figures are detailled

[@kaiserbach1231]

the resin is for sculpture?? great work man.

[@estrelaackerman7286]

Amazing, great work, friend ;3

[@arc0214]

O_O holy crap this is so amazing

[@cartuniztatv49]

wow! impressive skills you got there bro! How do you remove the head sculpt from the body before casting it?

[@widomakeroverwatch3898]

impressionnant

[@overactiveimagination]

You are a god among men

[@guillaumevacelet4512]

Hey, your work is crazy, i really love it ! I wonder if you sell your pieces somewhere ?

[@asancgosna8824]

clay just too expensive.. what kind clay did you use?

[@cringymaeve5780]

I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST ON A VIDEO

[@trytogetitright]

I have bunch of castilene hard. I was wondering if you had any tips on how to smooth it out.

[@wiliamkaryose6225]

How long does it takes to make one sculpture?

[@jakubwachelko9699]

You made 3 of them ? I would love to order one ^^. Excellent work

[@willinhasanka]

cara Sou brasileiro , eu vejo esse video sempre , para adquirir algumas técnicas , voce trabalha com moldes tambem ?

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

Very nice. One critique. Length of face from nose to jaw is too long. It makes her face too elongated. The bubble gum bubble could have used a dab of gloss too.

[@cyclopssam3309]

what type of clay do you use for your sculpture because i want to star my on sculpture pleass

[@countvampy]

Can u do sailor Jupiter from sailor moon please? I love how you create such beautiful things from such simple elements

[@drop1627]

NO U

[@jameshawkins3039]

Did you know that blizzard is making a new character for overwatch

[@akaibake7999]

AWESOME!

[@AngryMothNoises]

Do you have a store to sell these at? Have you thought about selling these as kits?

[@Ecksplisit]

This is amazing! How much do commissions usually cost?

[@chouji2]

Your work is awesome. Do you ever sell your completed sculptures or take commissions?

[@Mankej]

I do take commissions

[@chouji2]

I'm probably not able to get one right now, but where would I go to contact you about a commission in the future, I'd love to one day have a Lucio or Zarya statue.

[@Matobit]

wow.... how did he do the stickers on the legs?

[@Mankej]

Waterslides :)

[@BlazingsNL]

Sometimes I wish I had the money to spend on something like this. Did you ever finish the Mercy sculpt in the background?
