The fact that you're a gigantic ass person makes the sculpting of the tiny details even more impressive. Hands must be hugeeeee.

Wow! He turned out so well and you absolutely captured the character. Love how you got the important details such as the posture, eyebrows and those creepy long fingers. Thanks so much for doing this collab with us and we are going to get busy sharing the video now. Also, want to say, in addition to the sculpture, the way you do the video and instruction is a real art. Wishing you all the best from the Distortions Unlimited crew and hope people enjoyed seeing Nosferatu made!

[@moda78z]

I went to your website and your work is amazing 😍👍

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

@@moda78z Thanks so much Monana!

[@aceofclay]

You guys are incredible! So glad to hear you like the vid and sculpt. Until next time! 😃

[@renees766]

That statue looks REAL! I thought Ace of Clay was standing next to a live human dressed as a character! Outstanding realism and work!!

[@alfiestevens8605]

I don’t know how a human being can physically sculpt characters like this. This is such awesome content.

[@losersphinx]

I was here for the talent and art, but let's talk about the Ace behind the clay. He's creative, smart, funny, good looking and tall? HE SHOULDN'T EXIST.

[@elizabuilt3480]

I started for the commentary, stayed for the art + commentary, but hearing that he's 6'5"? Damn son. leave some for the rest of us

[@jsrr1982]

And ripped!! (and I say this as a lady who loves ladies)

[@trace_minerals]

I was like... it looks a little short. Then "It's 6'3", I'm 6'5"..." Damn, son.

You should sculpt your own take on Quasimodo!

[@steffanosdot6687]

Yes please, such a good idea!!

[@mush9217]

When Anthony said Count Orlok was 6’3 my Immediate thought was that he was on a stool to be taller than Orlok.I was wrong.

[@BronyGuy]

Your profile pic fits so well to your answer😂

[@burgerpattie]

Me: he’s kind of attractive “I’m 6’5”” Me: ok he’s gorgeous

[@LizSluttles]

LITERALLY

You; “I’m 6’5”” Me; sitting over here at 5’0” 👁👄👁

[@Gloomyraindrop]

Same 😔 Spare some of that height please, ace of clay.

[@missdire]

Saaame. Could you imagine getting a big from him?! I'd feel invincible.

[@16taysia]

OMG same 🤣

[@HalloweenEye]

You really captured the character Ace of Clay! Nice job!

[@mosahl26]

He's not simply named Ace Of Clay

[@elistammers3490]

You can't just causally say you're 6'5 without showing us you in like, a doorway or something! The model looks awesome too, so much detail.

[@felissundae335]

For a creepy vampire that probably spends all his time skulking around a castle alone, Orlok's got a pretty cool taste in fashion 👌😂

[@AnnBriArt]

Thank you Anthony for being such an huge inspiration 😍

[@SpookyWifeSpookyLife]

Anthony: "Oh eyebrows! You forgot to remind me about eyebrows!" Me: literally screaming "DONT FORGET EYEBROWS!" at my phone just seconds before that LOL

[@laylasmit7261]

We're all really enjoying this more interactive view and set up. Feels more immersive and personal. Great job as always

[@tbppbt1143]

"But then who keeps flickering the lights?" Nosferatu!!!!

[@ryanphu5004]

Lol

[@reptillianaesthete8801]

oh my god! i went on a tour to distortions unlimited when i was in 5th grade. i’ll forever remember the smell of greely colorado. They were the company that really got me into sculpting and sfx, they are FANTASTIC. also they made the queen in aliens, fun fact!

[@ScheelesGreen]

Yay I feel like I have been requesting Nosferatu for YEARS! (This is Erin - the dental assistant that told you the name of the explorer instrument). Haha YAY! And I want a 6’3” Count Orlok statue! 😂 Edit: Autocorrect changed Orlok to Orloff haha.

[@TheDreamSyndicateArts]

Imagine the Willem Dafoe meme: I too am something of a Count Orlok sculptor.

[@thomassmith5748]

It was pretty cool seeing you tackle a more realistic sculpt as opposed to the more stylised ones. Really good job by the way. I just realised that I referred to a 4 toothed vampire as “ realistic “ lmao, you know what I mean. 😂

[@mistyleigh84]

Turned out great. Makes me think of Gargamel from the smurfs. Could be his grandfather

[@dawnthegoblin]

I'm sure OGCO probably inspired Gargamel's design to some extent

[@IsacBarauna]

that intro started and my jaw DROPED lmao. I deadass thought that thing was made of clay lol

[@oreganoed8913]

This is DEFINITELY one of your best sculptures

[@mrhyde6834]

Tell me how tf Ace is more than a foot taller than me I never thought of him to be so tall

[@rumpeltyltskyn]

Imagine how I feel, he’s over a foot and half taller than me!

[@ghastlycreations5627]

I'm 5"2 a fucking midget xD

[@curioscuro]

my spooky little heart can't handle the amount it loves your sculpts.

[@ethanmagnuson8056]

Your Tim Burton-esque figure of you should be the official mascot!

Ed Edmunds is a Legend..So glad you got to collabe with Distortions

[@huntermoon6473]

Tall, insanely handsome, and extremely talented. I just found my dream man. SWOON!

[@Kaunoe]

I haven’t visited Ace’s channel in like, a year and it’s so cool to see how much more comfortable he’s become on camera and how much his viewer ship has grown!

[@elainenextdoor]

6’5” and good looking!? Yesssss

[@dawnthegoblin]

Ace of Clay just casually dropping that he's 6"5

[@kurstiephillips5958]

I know right! Like warn people! Hey guys, lolz, I'm tall. 2.5 years later, after everyone speculates, hey I'm 6'5". Yeah okay cool good to know. Not the shock of that freaking 💣.

[@KBish]

The eyes totally made this sculpture! Great job!

[@ihopemynameisalice]

the contrast between the detail in the top of the sculpture (head, hands, buttons, etc.) and the feet (blobs) is wild. No shade at all! I love LOVE your work! I'd just love to see a detailed shoe on this guy because the rest of him is so freaking amazing

[@carollemus6887]

It’s great when you get such a kick out of your own work, I think that’s the best.

[@jeremyhillary]

I love this new format, not only because there's more personality, but also because you share more tips and tricks and explain more about what you're doing. Definitely worth 37 minutes of watching 👍

[@katrinthorsdottir7514]

Nosferatu is one of my all time favorite vampire movies! You did an amazing job on him! Amazing likeness.

[@rivendelldaughter]

Using your mini me is NOT a stupid idea as a mascot. A lot of artists do that so go for it! I love the idea!!

[@familyofparsons5354]

When this first popped up I thought ace had sculpted a life size nosferatu sculpture and I was like whoa that would be so expensive. 😆

[@jefferyberkley8200]

I saw your plague doctor now im stuck down this rabbit hole

[@LordRusty5]

Nosferatu is one of your best 'monster' to date! no lie ... it is well proportioned, and just plain damn well done!

[@jacksonv672]

Best 37 minutes of my Friday night.

[@caniusdirus]

The fact that you have a life size Nosferatu is amazing. And watching you make a mini version of him was also quite enjoyable ^_^

[@TheTashaDrama]

I aspire to be able to sculpt with this level of confidence. I bake multiple times, use a heat gun, and do a lot of sanding. Its amazing to watch this level of expertise to not have to do intermittent bakes or to lock some details with the heat gun. Biggest props man

[@artladybluntzer4112]

i love Ed and Marsha Edmunds and their crew!! how awesome they saw your amazing talent and sent you a life sized prop!! God bless

[@lesleyyoung5730]

Anthony: Poke a hole in case there is air trapped inside. Me: Clay character farts? Also me: sorry.

[@lindahazel5075]

The talent in both pieces is mind blowing.

[@natashasouza7769]

i love the aesthetic of giant men doing tiny art

[@ScheelesGreen]

Ok! Initial excitement aside, I’ve now watched the video. And holy crap, Anthony, he looks way cooler than I initially imagined you’d make him. I love your decision to use the model paint for the buttons, and I love how you did his eyes! So cool! I’d love to see you do a bust of him, like you did for Krampus. But I know you don’t really repeat the subjects of your sculptures. But I can just imagine how cool those details would look made by you. Like the teeth. He always reminded me of an angler fish, come to think of it. Anyway. I’m gushing. Haha. A+ work as always. I’m SO stoked you finally did Nossie.

[@aliloucreations1817]

Wow 🤩 he’s brilliant, his eyes are fab , congratulations on your collaboration ❤️❤️

[@zaidizainal2495]

I really thought he's talking to someone "Do you like it?" and I've just realized that he's talking to the Count Orlock himself lol

[@moda78z]

Congratulations on the new collab!

[@DirtBall136]

Ace is the only guy who can look over Dracula 🧛‍♂️

[@selinadudley8270]

Ah, Nosferatu. A time before they thought almost every vampire had to be good looking or sparkly. Lol. The sculpture turned out awesome! Now you both have a "mini me". 😁❤

[@barbierockaway9203]

I've been watching your channel for a couple of years now and I love your content. It's so genuine and I've loved to see you grow and absolutely excel at your craft. Also, I just love seeing your confidence grow. Quite honestly, you just keep getting more and more attractive. Totally innocent crush over here. Love everything you do, keep it up!

[@composing-chaos]

Anthony, I appreciate you talking about the ugly stage of art creation recently. I feel my students need to hear this more. You should show some failures, so they know even professional creators struggle.

[@Melscreativearts]

Yess! Distortions and Ace of Clay dream collab! Nice job ! I really enjoy the new format and of course watching the process. You are truly and inspiration, thank you for sharing with us!

[@rickstruve9600]

AWESOME! I’ve watched your videos for close to two years now, and always love them! This particular video is TERRIFIC! I hope you get more attention from companies like Distortions Unlimited - because the eyeballs you bring to their product(s) has to be tremendous! And you’re able to promote them without looking like a sponsor shill... mainly because it directly helps you with great content for sculpture ideas. I, for one, have never heard of Distortions Unlimited, but definitely checked them out after your video (Nosferatu full-figure!? AMAZING... and not overly expensive!). So again, keep up the tremendous work... we appreciate it more than you can imagine! Rick PS: I also like how you verbally doubt yourself when sculpting - artists like us ALWAYS do that, but we rarely realize that the person making the awesome art video has the same mental doubts! It’s funny, the spots you doubt yourself the most on... I usually think are the spots with ZERO reason! Keep rockin’ it babe!

[@creepycutiecrafty]

Aw... You gave the Count a hug! 🤣 Amazing work as ever! I love the details on the hands and the teeth especially. The pleats on the clothes look awesome too. Love it!

[@kttyktlvr]

ASMR of Anthony throwing his tools down 😍

Hi Anthony, great job done it’s always a joy to watch you create your Art, also love the tip on buttons must try it out, Thanks for all the Inspiration you give us.x💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TheMRS.KKDrydale]

Video suggestion: try making your own clay, then sculpt with it 😊 I love all of your videos you are so talented!!

[@shialtin]

A lovely little version of one of my favourite vampires. Your tribute to Distortions' model is absolutely on point. I would though love to see your version of the cinematic original...

I was expecting the big Count to come to life.

[@serenadavis5956]

He is very good, the one you made looks so much like the large model I really think you did a great. It's the first time I have seen this character he looks pretty scary. Good job ace of clay 😱 👍👀

[@debibeverly0609]

What have you found to be the easiest way to clean your pasta machine? You may not like making clothes, but you do a GREAT job of it! If you didn’t say anything about it, no one would know. You make faces look so easy, I’m terrible at faces. Your count is awesome!

[@jayjaysquared9781]

I love Nosfiratu, you are such an amazing artist! Your content is getting me through these difficult times! Thank you!

[@hallijoy684]

I'm liking the new way of making videos. When you are talking when you are making the sculpture the videos vibe is so much better than voice over. It brings more personality into the video.

[@chriscoleman5242]

I love it wow it looks just like him good job Clay

[@samanderson9883]

I've been watching your videos for a while and you've inspired me to get back into art, but just want to say that your videos are getting more 'professional' which is a good sign! Well done Ace of Clay :-)

[@folkloreclay6769]

A tip to get the same size eyeballs that I picked up is to roll a small ball and cut it in half. Than roll each half into balls. 👍 works for me everytime! Great piece this really helped me with a gift I'm making for someone.

[@thoughtfulwatcher]

The lighting is better and appreciated, Ace. The first time you did this format it was a little darker than usual. (Since you were changing things up and working out the kinks.) Looking great and easy to see again. Loved the "collab" and sculpture! The Count may not say much, but he's great moral support.

[@elisabethreeves1786]

If you want to learn more about sewing and clothing I'd suggest checking out Pattern Draping (not drafting!). I think draping would translate so well into your work with even sheets of clay. I will confess that I *sometimes* yell at my phone when you're working on clothing and seamlines but I understand that not every detail can or should be included in a sculpture. I've watched all your videos for the past several years and really appreciate the level of detail you put into your sculpts. Keep them coming! You're my Friday lunchtime KZbin watching!

[@carolejones7469]

Love watching you sculpt. Each one is unique.

[@harley5264]

I really like this style of video more from you! We can see more of you personality and humor

[@masja1790]

YES! 🙂

[@yvonnephillion4676]

Definitely one of my favorites!!!

[@TangentOmega]

Since I was a kid, I thought he was one of the scariest vampires brought to the silver screen. After breaking him down to his elemental parts, you've made me realize he's just a homely misunderstood nerd, in need of a beauty makeover and serious dental care. LOL..😀 Thanks!!

[@Ambrosine1345]

Awesome sculpt! This video makes me wanna bust out all my Halloween decorations. Halloween in February? why yes, don't mind if I do.

[@EmzyyLee]

Every time I watch @aceofclay my heart falls more. Would make a "meet me" video if he hearts this! **winkeyface**

[@cassiemartin5368]

Really liking the new immersive format, where u talk more while ur sculpting instead of voice over. I hope u keep it up. I would love more instruction on how to get certain details. Thanks! Great video and u did an awesome job on Nosferatu/Oloff.

[@shulaney4639]

Your miniature is scarier than the life size Count. Well done!!
