How to make REALISTIC, FLESHY, (GROSS?) polymer clay creatures!

[@LincolnSavage-q8p]

Crafsman is like modern day Bob Ross. Your voice is so relaxing

[@_end3rguy_]

hes the second coming of bob ross

[@mewhe]

i don't know about you, but i've never seen them in the same room... 🤔🤫

[@Tomy_Yon]

​@@mewhethey are telepathically. 😊

[@DWSP101]

Yeah, I can say he’s the Bob Ross of our generations

[@yuiop271]

They are cute and gross at the same time 😃

[@slimehousetv]

I just saw my face in a crafsman video, i must be dreaming?! Totally honoured man, fantastic craft and video production as always. Them little dudes rock! 👌👌👌

[@FixedTempleToys]

EPIC!

[@stewartbeaumont7847]

Very much appreciated that little Crafsman nature walk for samples

[@YeeterJR]

The soundtrack on this one was crazyyy good Crafsman!

[@teddycox2388]

Does he make this music too?? I’m vibin what’s the track if you know?

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thanks so much, y'all! :D Yes, I do make the music for the videos - whether through VSTs, vintage instruments, or chopped samples. :) I like doing the custom thing for y'all.

[@teddycox2388]

@@TheCrafsMan holy smokes you’re prolific dude I love it it keeps hittin it it’s a lot of its and it’s

[@BlizzAz]

So cool. They look like tardigrades.

[@Average_Brad]

My first though too :)

[@macmacabre8076]

I haven’t seen a steady craftin video in a year or two. His voice is so different! How beautiful it is to see people grow and change! Well wishes everyone

[@MandaPanda254]

Same here, it's so different!

[@maelstronando169]

Makes me happy to be alive at the same time as you. Talented and inspiring work

[@Polygonlin]

Too late to Explore Earth, too Early to explore the Universe... JUST in time to chill watching the greatest Crafting KZbinr ever!

[@id7484]

aw, they're such cute little weirdos! I love their little stubby legs

[@Dan_Does]

They looked super cute and super delicious. Bred for snacking no doubt. Love the vid, buddy. Thanks so much for honouring me!

[@xmobile.]

0:35 🤣 🤣 😍

[@BayAreaMotorcycleCommuting]

Damn, the pastel scraping at 12:04 just really highlights how ahead-of-the-game CrafsMan truly is. Thank you for sharing all your tips and experience!

[@deanteasdale8261]

Have you thought about making an ambient album of your background tracks? Much to Craft to, I would buy that 🙂

[@peterlammerts8725]

I’ve always appreciated the music you use in your videos. The song playing while you’re making the first character is the best one yet. Such a cool vibe.

[@elisabethbyrne5024]

I find your voice is quite unique and calming. I also liked your use of the silicone to make your own textures using nature. This is my first video of yours and I'm looking forward to watching more

[@rachealgetscreative]

Looks at those chubby, slimy, cute, little boys! I love them!!

[@MistahStompy]

I was really skeptical of how that wool would turn out, but those results do not lie!

[@volttherobot]

Been wanting to get into Nomad lately and now you got my robot fingers wanting to get back into the polymer clay… It’s great seeing you outdoors, gettin’ some sun. xoxo

[@BluelineDesignStudio]

Only the Crafsman could make something so gross... so CUTE! So many skills used to make these. Also love the music.

[@caitchri2426]

They look like Starfire’s grub pet friend n the Teen Titans cartoon

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

This is very cool. The final texture and coloring is FANTASTIC. Beautiful work and video production. : )

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you my friend!

[@DadMakes]

I just discovered your channel this week, and since then I have been binging your videos and the videos of other crafters you've connected with over time. This is the first one you've uploaded since I started enjoying your content, so I wanted to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU, CrafsMan, for sharing your expertise, your humor, your creativity, and most especially, thank you for the love that absolutely permeates these videos. Watching your channel feels like a warm hug, and I can always feel comfortable letting my daughter watch your content with me, as well. Many thanks, much love, and I look forward to seeing what you do next!

[@argusfleibeit1165]

He really is wonderful!

[@foolishmint9618]

THESE ARE SO AWESOME!!!!! I make realistic maggots and worms from clay for jewellery(I glue them into fancy frames to make brooches, earrings, etc.) and I never thought about using translucent clay for them, but this video made me realise it'd be perfect for them!!! Sprinting to the art store first thing tomorrow after school:D!!!!

[@MoldyBones27]

The Fishkeeping community would love love love things like these for Fishtank decor!

[@karen4you]

The way you made textures from nature is inspiring.

[@boombob3D]

Craftsman is like Bob Ross they both have calming voices and they both show us how to make art

[@jessversus]

And they’re both super positive and encouraging, and have great senses of humor!❤

[@txikitofandango]

I love them little critters, all the see through layers and veins, they look so alive

[@3DJapan]

Like cute little tardigrades.

[@gornser]

Lovely seeing crafsman out in the woods

[@ScatteredTerrain]

Those turned out so well! They’re adorable! That translucent clay gives a great effect.

[@arvaniaconstructions]

Finally I get to see the video. I love these little critters! It's nice so see the textures from nature translate to sculpting. Very inspirational, as always. 🙂

[@griffinwolf5704]

Great stuff. Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to make things, and also think I should watch more of your stuff.

[@fxm5715]

Holy smoke, CrafsMan, I had no idea Dan existed, and at first I thought it was a joke. The world is a better place for having BOTH Bill AND Dan out there Doing and Making.

[@CharacterDesignForge]

These are awesome

[@brianartillery]

Absolutely wonderful, Crafsman. Those figures remind me of the creatures known as Tardigrades - those microscopic and virtually indestructible creatures.

[@Helter-Skelterz]

A failsafe way to portion clay identically (for symmetrical features like legs): Roll out a some clay so that it's uniformly thick. Use small circle cutters / clay punches to pop out little discs of clay. Roll up your discs for equally portioned little nuggets. You can adjust the thickness of the rolled clay, the size of the cutters, or combine discs to vary the size of your portioned lumps! Love these little dudes, Crafsman ❤

[@deadwishcopper9253]

Man, the music and your voice is so satisfying, you are like the best Crafting and ASMR

[@WendyS996]

I've been watching your channel since the beginning and I am amazed at your skill in you art, camera work, voiceover and editing..wow!❤

[@unfocusedNconfuzd]

These are so creepy but even more adorable! I love the texture and painting details. I always enjoy watching your work. Your videos are always relaxing and the end product is always impressive.

[@drillerdev4624]

They look delightfully icky I've done some basic sculpting with fimo back in the day, but nothing even close to this mecel of detail. The texturing idea was great

[@pennycatcap2998]

I adore these blobby (nasty?) little dudes!! Thank you for the wonderful video Crafsman!

[@ford9505]

Was sent this by a friend. I love these things. Watching them being made was so fun and relaxing.

[@gizellesweet6959]

Your voice is now my favourite thing in the world and I'm so pleased I've found you

[@Polygonlin]

They remind me of something from the Binding of Isaac "The Video Game" i'd LOVE to see this method used on more of those types of Monsters

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

Love these "gross" little dudes! Just watching the processes is the highlight for me. Can't wait for the oto7 and definitely gonna try and nab a yellow pocketnaut. So much awesomeness coming round the bend! God bless, Crafsman!

[@lostmarble540]

I was skeptical about adding wool but dang it really added some nice detail

[@krzysztofmathews738]

This is exactly what I need to see today. Thank you!

[@bikefarmtaiwan1800]

So creative ! So happy I watched this channel again !

[@leelee1286]

Omg had to pause the video to say these texture stamps are soooo cool 😻

[@leepizarro]

I like everything you do ! I really like your music too 💗

[@beermonger1]

CrafsMan, I don't know how you don't have like 5x as many subscribers as you do. Keep doing what you're doing man. It's good stuff.

[@MoldyBones27]

Duuude!!! It would be epic to hide some of these in the woods!! Best business card ever! 😂

[@Sara-xk1ns]

I don’t know why you were on my recommended but so glad you were. First, your voice….it’s like a soothing addiction that sucked me in. It has southern hospitality, inviting, calming vibes that made me feel safe but hearing your voice talk about this craft, I had to see the finished quirky product. Again, glad I stayed bc they’re adorable. I recently saw a video where someone made flesh donuts and used similar methods but hers were squishy I believe. I want to squish these little guys so bad. They just look like they want to be squished. Can’t wait to go watch more of your videos. Subscribing for sure.

[@MelRetro]

Hello from Japan! 🇯🇵 I love your videos ❤

[@milkitea669]

Ahh they're so cute and happy looking. Ready to be put on a hook for bait😊

[@gameyybuilds]

Oh man, this is so good. Thank you for sharing!

[@retrorandy77]

These are so whimsical, like something from the Labyrinth or Flight of the Navigator 😍

[@TJtheBee]

The lil guys just want some hugs!

[@StephaniePlaysGames]

I love them so much, I think they're adorable 😂

[@xKagryx]

I love the Crafsman channel!

[@lilpixie25]

Those boys are very cute, they make me rly happy :) God bless you and your family Mr. Crafsman

[@slumbercrash]

Craf man, I love your character design. Your work is also very inspiring. Thank you for the video!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Lookin good crafsman. I love the way you sampled nature for these little critters.❤

[@ROBOLOGY.wildcamping]

Brilliant video mate ,Theo pointed me your way and iv been binge watching your videos ever since. Thanks for all the entertainment bro

[@TheeManWIthNoLife]

I've never seen something be both disturbing and adorable at the same time!

[@courtneystout1798]

I love them so much, Crafsman! Lil' babies!

[@SpiderBread320]

They are adorable and I love them

[@Jamgeoso]

They're so cute!!

You never disappoint Crafsman!

[@danskizz7272]

Yeah! Big up Theo and what he's doing over at Slime House, inspirational work and a top lad!

[@8bombart]

Wow, you’re one of my favorite clay crafters! Amazing work as usual. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥

[@cerisekappes580]

Omg!!! I love them!!! 😍

[@Pygar2]

Love to see you do a Hecklefish toy, keychain, or pencil topper. The Why Files would sell them like hotcakes!

[@VASE8881]

What a gem of a human. Great work Crafsman

[@reginab645]

I love your work and style. Rediscovered your channel.❤

Same, don't he sound sooo much different?.?

I saw some things with this finish at the renaissance festival recently and I was so curious about how they were made! Thank you crafsman!

[@LimeTreePrickly]

The music is very good in this one!

[@MandaPanda254]

Super cute!

[@neilwood5081]

AWESOME SCULPTURES DUDE 👍👍

[@SamusKerrigan]

That's a cute family of happy blobs

[@jamesmiles4067]

I am absolutely amazed by this. So cool. I'm going to get some of that clay and try for myself.

[@fowlskins]

love these slimey little chaps

[@NepotismTV]

So great, as always!

[@MisatoBestWoman]

This is a channel I haven’t watched in a long time. I’m going to enjoy this video woo!

Whooo... that's some real freaky-deaky stuff, but super impressive.

I have never seen your KZbin videos before so the puppet was a SHOCK at 1am 😂 I am cackling! 2:10

[@SpacePumma]

Beautiful

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

Absolutely love your channel ❤

[@mariabauerAustria]

Lovely 😊

[@CajunCraft24]

I love me some swampy woods…❤

[@leemasters3592]

Love them. Tempted to try poly clay again now, just so I can have a few of these Lil fellas popping out of the ground in my terrariums.

[@louislowery2877]

Fantastic!

[@TannerCh]

My 10yo thought these were the best!! Thanks for the fun video!

[@WiReDApe]

Do a facehugger with that. The build will be funny as well. Trust me 😹

[@NiallByrne]

You could use your own finger prints to a texture map to roll onto the sculpt to have a unique texture that imitates the old stopmotion clay texture. I've seen 3D artist do the same with their textures maps for their models.

[@morophineswordphich8229]

Adorable little creeps

[@hotcheetofingers]

these are beautiful 🙌

[@fableagain]

Yooo, I never thought about making your own texture molds like that! That's so smart!

[@maddestmike5791]

Another Crafsman Classic. ^^
