I'm glad you noticed. In recent videos I've been deleting the frames where my hand is directly in the way of the sculpture. Now looking at old videos, I'm like "How did I ever think this was watchable?" lol
@@OFCIFR I could see how it might not seem like a lot of work. But in practice, I'm deleting basically 1 out of every 3 frames. There's 1800 frames in just one minute and I usually start with two minutes of sped up footage. For longer shots, It's taken me hours to edit out all the obscured frames.
@@StevenRichter next time you can send me the footage and I'll do it for you, I don't charge a lot and you'll be able to focus more on what you like instead of video cleaning ;)
I think one of my favorite things about watching stuff like this, timelapses, speed-drawings, etc, is seeing all the times the artist paused, changed something, or went back and re-did a part they didn't like. It really reminds you that art is not a straightforward "A-to-B" process and that mistakes are okay, they can be corrected. For a long time (and even now) I struggled with the the idea that everything i put to paper has to be correct the first time, and it can be a major hurdle to get over.
I honestly thought you were going to coat the eyes with a transparent polymer resin to give them a wet look, but the vacuum form plastic worked just as well! It's still really nice to see this sort of hand-made project. It's a dying art and you're keeping it alive.
I was thinking the same thing, was also wondering what would the final result have looked like if resin was done instead. IMO this made the eyes look a bit darker than they were right after painting, that's not a bad thing, just an observation. perhaps with uv resin, the eyes would have been too bright and not looked the part. Things to ponder :)
I got goosebumps from the finished product. All the work he (you) put into this sculpture and this video is incredible and im still slack-jawed from it all.
Glad to see the eyeballs are finally back !! Thank you Steven. Really missed them in the green goblin time-lapse. 😉😉 and thank you for keeping your promise too !!
Man........ you are the most freaking talened, doped, amazing, surreal artist. Seripusly, you are the Da Vinci or Michael Jordan of what you do. I just lack words to describe what freaking talent you are. A complete, generational outlier. Congrats. And, above all, thanks for sharing your haevenly talent with us.
You need to have a special kind of talent to make stuff like this. Everything from making the fur look perfect to making the clothes, and the genius of using vacuum formed plastic to make the eyes and how you used feathers to make the whiskers... amazing as always!
these belong at disneyland! how sick would it be coming off the ride and seeing busts like these displayed as you walk back into the park. so freaking cool.
Beyond the enjoyment of watching the sculpting, I'm always eagerly awaiting to hear your theme song while you work. It's like expecting to hear John William's Superman theme when watching a Superman movie.
I don't know if you will see my message but in any case, know that you have an incredible talent, sincerely. Rare are the works I see on UA-cam that approach such a level of realism, thank you for sharing this with us
He looks very kind. :) So damn good. Impressed that you first do it in clay, to make a mold in silicone.... Always as interesting with your busts. Thanks
I enjoyed watching this video so much that I watched it twice and I am writing to thank you! Amazing job! The character came out very alive and awesome!
Personally I think this is your best yet. Blown away by this one pal! I’d absolutely LOVE to see you do Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken from Escape From New York.
I love how much you've grown! Your art always inspires me out of my art style! You are a very beautiful person and soul! ty for always sharing your art!
Wow that looks incredible! I absolutely love it! Well done! You sure did a great job for making a sculpture of a Marvel character! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
I'm beyond impressed how you knew the underlying contour of his face without fur. Seriously, you bodied this.
I thought he faced it.
@@RetroJack😂
there is even the formulae for this.
I can’t believe you removed nearly every frame of the Timelapse video where your hand obscured the sculpture. That’s dedication!
I'm glad you noticed. In recent videos I've been deleting the frames where my hand is directly in the way of the sculpture. Now looking at old videos, I'm like "How did I ever think this was watchable?" lol
He deleted from the speed up version which is not so impressive, maybe it took 5 minutes maximum to do

This method is usually used to be able to position the eyes where we want them to see.

Incredible work as always, Steven. You are a true master of your craft!
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL Work, Steven!! Rocket looks SO real and you REALLY brought him to life!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!

Honestly, I sometimes wonder how you do it. Because you are incredible. I hope to see your next sculpture soon.
Outstanding Steven. Outstanding.
I just watched the film, and loved it! Made me cry a little. You should sculpt his friends too!
I was intrigued by your “sculpting” with fur and hair. I love your work and your videos.
This man absolutely does not get enough credit for how much effort he puts into every video! Amazing video !!
He looks incredible 😍 how much work you must put into every project is mind blowing. Im looking forward to seeing this film at the weekend
Oh wow. You are totally amazing I am lost for words
these belong at disneyland! how sick would it be coming off the ride and seeing busts like these displayed as you walk back into the park. so freaking cool.
That is just simply stunning and by far your best work yet. It’s fascinating watching these creations come together.👍
you are so good at your work that you even manage to renew yourself, and even more, you renew also the way you are making your video; it's incredible!
Beyond the enjoyment of watching the sculpting, I'm always eagerly awaiting to hear your theme song while you work. It's like expecting to hear John William's Superman theme when watching a Superman movie.
It's unbelievable
Salute to this guy
Wow! So realistic. Your skill is incredible.
Как живой. Это высочайшее искусство❤️🔥🔥🔥Гениально.
It’s so relaxing to watch you make these. Rocket has become one of my favorite characters. Great work. 😄
Master of SEVERAL disciplines. Very cool!
How Daffy duck morphs into Rocky Raccoon. He's evolved
I thought it was aflac
I saw this comment before I saw the video. Now I'm sad that he hasn't made a Daffy Duck sculpture.
Now Rocky Raccoon checked into his room only to find Gideon's Bible
I thought he was Howard the duck😂
Nota 6

Моё восхищение! Великолепная работа! Мастер!
Master craftsmanship and artistry! Bravo!!!
He looks very kind. :) So damn good. Impressed that you first do it in clay, to make a mold in silicone.... Always as interesting with your busts. Thanks
Amazing how well this came together considering it took til like 4:30 to stop looking like a nightmarish creature. Really great job!
The painstaking amount of time and tedium that goes into this kind of work... My eternal respect for you.
Very nicely done. Looks very lively. Tons of hardwork and talent.
I enjoyed watching this video so much that I watched it twice and I am writing to thank you! Amazing job! The character came out very alive and awesome!
Your unbelievable skill level has blown me away.
Absolutely fantastic!!
I think the words, "I am Groot!" adequately says how impressive and amazing this is.
What a talented person you are ❤❤❤ hats off to u
Is so cool to watch the clay building up and changing everything little by little
That’s absolutely incredible! Serious attention to detail and it payed off!!
I am gobsmacked! Thats teh most talent I have seen in a long long time. John
I am so impressed by this work! Your choice of materials are amazing in how you apply them in your sculpts! Keep it up, Steven!
Damn dude. This is really great! Been really awesome seeing your work over the years get better and better.
Wow, this is amazing! So cool to see the process and the work you put into!
I know Rocket would probably kick my ass for saying this, but he’s freaking adorable! Great work man!
0:45 rocket without fur is scary. Just plain scary.
I am absolutely speechless with your work
The talent of some people is utterly spellbinding.❤
This is spot on, really good!
Absolutely incredible!!! What I wouldn't give to have that bust in my life. WOW!!! 😍
Omg Wow this is amazing!!! ❤
Personally I think this is your best yet. Blown away by this one pal! I’d absolutely LOVE to see you do Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken from Escape From New York.
Woooow!!!! This is AMAZING!!! What a fabulous job you do have!!!!
You are INCREDIBLE!!! I just found your channel and cannot wait to go see your other creations!
I'm so proud of my fellow men and women who can do such marvelous things
ESSA É A COISA MAIS INCRÍVEL QUE EU JA VI

The amount of details are crazy! Keep up the great work!
Wow thats amazing ❤ im not sure how i managed to fall so in love with a talking raccoon but here we are. Looks like im not alone. Thats beautiful 🦝🦝
The best resin sculptor I've seen.
This is beyond amazing! The details are so realistic!
Looks super realistic man!! Nice job dude🤘
How do you keep making these amazing sculptures?! You have levels of talent incomprehensible for a UA-cam nerd like me to understand 👍
Nice cat sclupture! Love it!

I'm always astounded by your work
One of your best work ! Just wow !

I would legit LOVE to see how you would create a Yondu bust. The red fin/mohawk would probably be a fun challenge!
Oh my god brother you make real Rocket raccoon 💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💥
I love that you did a fantastic job!! it's looks like a "what if...!? the guardians of the galaxy movie was made in the 80s"
but I feel like I can see some innocence in his eyes
Just amazing bro. You did a remarkable job with Rocket!
Wow that looks incredible! I absolutely love it! Well done! You sure did a great job for making a sculpture of a Marvel character!
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
You just keep improving and improving. Love your work man. Keep it up.
Incredible. As always 👍🏻
This is just a masterpiece!
I imagine Groot would be SO hard to do! This was great. So interesting to see how it's done

Wow!!!! Great job on Rocket👍👍👍
That's Amazing!! I love Rocket and I love your work 👏👏
Do the tiniest details like on the nose come trough on the cast?
Beautiful!
*Amazing creation for a small part, and just to think that Human life was just at random chance and without Creator is just nonsense.*
I love rocket so much! you have done a great recreation!
Amazing...Just amazing. Such talent is amazing!
