Day 665 Still no wendigo, still waiting, I've been snowed in in this youtube suggestion cave for a while now...the hand in that corner i left as bait is looking like beef jerky...i wonder...

[@axelb7775]

It's kinda ironic that dracula's head is being held by a sharp wooden stick

[@dragonbullets2763]

That is how vlad died oof . That is also how vlad Dracula tortured people . Dracula has some messed up historical inspiration , worse then sucking blood and being immortal and shapeshifting like a God. Dracula dies by getting impaled , vlad impaled people and drinks their blood for fun. He doesn't take control of his victims so idk. Ah you wre referring to the fact that Dracula dies by getting a stake through their heart . Well the real Dracula ( vlad III / dracula the impaler) impaled people and was a king . He was really messed up and died by getting his head on a sharp stick

[@BlackDogsAndLadybugs]

[@PiperSpirit]

at some angles his expression comes across as almost cute.. like a somewhat confused old man.. i actually kinda like that (potentially unintentional) take on dracula though; he’s just an old goth who doesn’t quite understand why everyone’s afraid of him!

[@garbageinferno596]

wth same I love confused old goth Dracula

[@aeonstar5867]

I thought this too! He looks sorta homely and inviting, a perfect trap! Also @AceofClay you forgot to add in the time to sculpt and paint!

[@cavareenvius7886]

You should check out Dracula starring Leslie Nielsen as Dracula.

[@dcowboys6213]

Who drinks your blood lol

[@dr00ku]

This may be Dracula but he hardly _sucks!_ Love this sculpture a lot and love seeing you try new things, keep up the great work! (And please sculpt Cthulhu)

[@chillaxter13]

Cthulu has also got to be Cosclay... At least the head. The tentacles just need motion and flexibility...

[@galactusthegreat7641]

Yes Cthulhu would be great

[@Spicy__Fox]

Cthulhu would be awesome!

[@Zathren]

Woot, Dracula, this gonna be good. I'd love to see you add an undead dragon to your collection Ace!

[@arwenbrimhall3737]

[@werewolf74]

One of his earliest sculpts was the make a pre-existing choir boy ceramic into a yeti as part of his thrift challenges. kzbin.info/www/bejne/garElXiNbrCpbKM

[@maxnkai058]

I've been wanting him to make a wendigo for so long! I eventually stopped asking :( but I contributed my wendigo painting!

[@andrea.rivers]

I totally geeked out on how flexible it is when you were wiggling his ears and fangs. That is really cool! Even when baked properly, other strong clays have the risk of breakage. LOVE the wispy-ness of his hair. It's always fun to see new clays come into the market. Lots of possibilities. Your hands have come a long way! Lol

[@maxximumb]

Brilliant creation yet again. I'd still love to see Claude Rain's Invisible man. A man in a suit, some exposed skin areas in bandages, part of his head with the bandages starting to unravel, letting us see through to a hollow inside. Bit of a challenge, but it would look awesome and if anyone has the skills, it's the Ace of Clay who could pull this one off.

[@ZeepDr]

Duuuddeee, I MUST try Cosclay! Let us know if there are any promo codes that we can use to support you! P.S. It's amazing to see how you've improved over the past several months. You've always been good, but it goes to show that even if you're already really good, there can always be growth. Excited to see you grow even more as an artist!

He is absolutely extraordinary! I love his hair. How cool that he can bend too. You've mentioned you wanted to sculpt Dracula for a while now so I'm sure he was worth the wait. Thank you for sharing my artwork! :D Also to anyone reading this: Join the Aces of Clay Facebook page! I don't sculpt, but it's amazing to see what everyone has sculpted, what products they use and techniques they swear by. There's everyone from beginners to professionals and always someone to help if you're just starting out. A great community!

This could be a game changer for people who do stop motion

[@JuanRamirez-xh3kc]

I dabble in stop motion mostly puppet making and this is exactly the kind of material I have been dreaming about, can't wait to get some and get to work!

[@Lex_Quinn]

I experiment with stop motion and a still think I’ll stick with unbaked clay, but I’ll sure some people will love it

[@zytr0x108]

Lex Quinn yeah for facial expressions you will still need unbaked clay, but for limbs and fingers it is pretty useful

[@FuzzyYak]

I look forward to your uploads every week, I legit just went "Yay!" when I saw a new post from you! Time to watch it, can't wait!

Now look at how it hangs on me!!" **Pout** Lol anyway! Thanks for showing all of the art work! There are some crazy awesome things people created! I also see my little wolf guy in it!

I love this sculpture. That hair is giving me some Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls vibes when they're all calling him "White Devil" lol

[@Melongirl-iv5ju]

JustTiffamu Yes! I thought I was the only one😅

[@BrandonGrew]

I read somewhere once that “button-down” refers to whether the collars have buttons and that any shirt that closes around the torso with buttons is a “button-front shirt.” 🤔

[@AurorasArtWorld]

He reminds me of Grandpa Munster.. Lol... He came out epic!! 💖 Grats on your series! I'm love with them all!

[@Cherryflavoredgrape]

For anyone wondering about the distinction between button-up and button-down, any shirt that buttons is a "button-up shirt". But a button-up shirt that has buttons for holding down the collar is a "button-down shirt".

[@fannimationstudiosstopmoti4114]

[@SorosPhuvix]

This is probably my favorite sculpture you've done so far. Just the eerie pose and the gorgeous colors mixed with the finest of details really brings him to life. Would love to see him animated one day.

[@techprojm]

My favorite of the month. after seeing what you did with the hair, I'm excited to see how else you use Cosclay to enhance your sculptures. I've noticed sometimes you use bake n bond to help bond new clay to baked clay, did you find the Cosclay bonds to cured clay better than sculpey?

[@TheDreamSyndicateArts]

Not a Dragula, but a Dracula! I love that he sorta looks like the Count Dracula from the cereal box! 🧛🎃🦇

[@TheDreamSyndicateArts]

Also it was pretty cool to see a few of my pieces and the work of others at the end! Spooky fun times!

Hi Ace of Clay. I love how folks send you pictures of their art pieces, original ideas or renditions of your art composure. I've always been a believer of studying the "masters" in order to understand what true art is and you, sir, are a master of clay.

It adapted well to your modeling and seemed easy to work with. I love the fact that it’s able to be painted with acrylic paint in fact that’s my favorite part about it, I will certainly watch more of your videos and can’t wait to try this product out for myself. Thanks for inspiring me that’s not an easy feat.

the term "buttoned down shirt" refers to a collar that is secured to the shirt with a button... it has nothing to do with the closure buttons.

[@lauragranado7048]

"Button down" refers to a shirt that has a button-down collar. If the collar doesn't button down, it isn't a button-down shirt.
