How are you all doing today??
How are you? :)
Great! How are you?
Awesome, can't get myself to art, so I'm watching others art for now.
Awesome! Loved the new vid!
Awesome! Watching your videos, has become part of my Friday afternoon rituals! I also sculpt with polymer (only 2 years) and you always give such great tips and tricks! I love your channel. Great, Dapper Ghost! The blue paint is a great alternative to gray, for ghosts!
You should make a crow plague doctor type character. Like maybe the feathered wings form a cloak. You should also make a witch doctor
So basically Eileen from bloodborne
I wouldn't know, I've never played Bloodborne. I was inspired more from the race of creepy bird people in D&D (I can't remember what they're called, but I believe they're all mute)
@@WulfyFang3 the Aarakocra i believe is what you're referring to
@@WulfyFang3 you could also be referring to the kenku, they themselves cannot speak, but they can mimic sounds they hear
I think Kenku is it. I'll look it up
A dapper ghost, huh? He's pretty handsome. Guess you can say he's drop dead gorgeous.
Alright, I'll leave.
no please stay
Then go to the corner and think about your life!
Well his mustache can certainly bring all the ladies to the graveyard! 💀
😂😂😂
Nice one!!😂😂
I imagine this dapper ghoul saying something like, "Pardon me old chum, may I scare-up a spot of dread from you?" 🎩👻👻
You covered your wooden base with clay, then made it look like...wood. My mind is blown. BRILLIANT!
Well its not "olden wood boards". 🖤
Ginger Kubicz that could be arranged though.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Do a sculpture that you paint entirely in color shift paints!
Some kind of mantis shrimp monster so the colour scheme can be zoologically accurate.
I am from the future to tell u that he did that
@@sheenagiubbini5175 I know! I've thought about this a lot actually lol
Tomotoa from moana
Make trick or treater children. In costumes holding a bag out for candy. Also maybe a dog skeleton
Or maybe a trio of trick or treating kids!
@@raiderghost2475 I thought that too. Like a ghost (sheet) a little vampire and skeleton. That would be awesome. He would kill that
Omg that would look so cool
@@thehorrorroadsidesshow3274, or, a witch, a vampire, and either, a skeleton, or the ghost (in a sheet, of course, lol). That way there's a little girl also...then again, he can make ANY of the aforementioned into a little girl, so it doesn't really matter which ones he uses! Or, better yet, he could use all 4, and make the 4th from the kid's pet...dog or cat. Can you imagine a little puppy, with a sheet, as a ghost?
@@raiderghost2475 I originally was gonna say cat (girl) but I agree. It shouldn't look like the oogie boogie kids. Maybe a vamp a ghost and witch. Perfect! With a skeleton dog!
Please do a mermaid! A pretty mermaid for Halloween!
Honestly, considering the lean in towards the macabre with his work, I could see him taking that suggestion and adding a bit of 'creature from the black lagoon' to it.
But.... a pretty mermaid :(
Angel Laces no pretty, only Del Toro creatures
Why do you guys hate me?
I want a pretty one, too! and an evil one. like evil and good twins, so they look very similar except for one has claws and fangs and stuff and their color scheme would be different.
_"I feel like this is similar to decorating a cake...."_
*_Picks up 3 tiered cake and rolls it on the table like a wheel._*
Lmao
😂😂👍
I'd let him haunt my house 😊
oh, great idea. You should do a cake sculpt using molding chocolate and fondant! Then you get to eat your creations.
Mikey four it would def be a challenge for him
landlord: no ghosts allowed
dapper ghost:
landlord: i’ll make an exception for him he seems very polite
Wrong channel
Halloween is only a month and half away... will you do a mini special at end of one show where you feature all the monsterverse creations together?
you should make an egyptian pharaoh, with the animal masks! that would be cool I think!
Tim Burton af. Looks like someone cut him off mid sentence to tell him he’s dead
Omf 😂😂
😂😂
It would be really cool on your channel to have a gallery of every sculpture you done. Love watching your channel it inspires me to do more sculpting.
I’d love to see a living version of this guy too! With his living color scheme
Oh he looks spooktacular , and I thought of another ghost, how about the centerville ghost
You should do a siren/evil mermaid.
A sick twist on the established idea of pretty mermaids
Yes thank you. There are so many ugly and weird fish in the ocean. I want to see an ugly gnarly mermaid.
It is so nice to see the characters of movies that I saw in my childhood. Your work always reminds me of memories. Thank you.
I feel like seeing how you do anatomy and clothes on your sculptures helps me out when I draw. You do a great job with both of those!
Edit: I had an idea for another piece! How about a haunted set of armor with a ghost living inside?!
I like how u approach your projects and how you continue to challenge yourself to get even better. Great project! I LOOK forward to your videos every week.
I had a dumb idea, how about... a Bacon Bond? He’s a slice of bacon who’s also a super spy.
*B R I L L I A N T*
This the one❗️❗️❗️
you done a great job doing the ghost keep it up I wish you have done a clear coat of glow-in-the-dark paint
That's a great idea xxxx
Resin would do the trick, but then you have something shiny.
I was thinking the same thing! I really thought that at the end he was going to do that. That would have looked insane!
I love how he turned out except for the eyes, he seemed so much more ghostly without pupils
I can picture the ghost saying
" I say, did you here the rumor the ship is sinking? Preposterous! the band is still playing. Everything is just fine."
Your videos have inspired me to make my own stop-motion video! I love your stuff, Ace.
I’d really love to see you try a wendigo. They’re my favorite cryptid :)
Yes
That's awesome! It's makes me think of the corpse bride.
It looks kind of like the guy who drove the horse cart combined with the main villain
Love how he turned out! What a great idea! 👌❤️ You made the woodwork on the base look so easy!! You ARE the artist! 👨🎤
This is amazing! I love the 1800s dapper style so much. He needs a backstory! I think his name could be Charles, Viktor, or Ivan. Let's go with Ivan! He looks like he must have been somewhat rich, so let's say he was robbed and killed by the robber. Now he trudges along the streets in search for his lost treasures, often asking travelers if they may have wandered upon it or know about it. He's a somewhat troubled soul, but quite the story teller! I had lots of fun writing this out and I do hope you enjoy it!
Yes! Thank you for finally making a ghost!
I love your videos! You've inspired me to sculpt- I just got some clay today to make my own dragon! :D
Cool!
I wonder which kind?
Very exciting.
Hell yeah! Good luck!
I love it! I think this is one of your most intricate and original sculptures. 😊 Great Job!
The little bits of purple and teal REALLY MAKE HIM POP! Those tiny bits of color make him so much more interesting than just a ghostly blue. Always looking for that color-shift paint!
The ghost is so cool. And yes the mustache looks just like Nigel’s. The wild thornberrys was a great show.
Almost 200k! Congrats!!
FreyaWarrior ah I know, I can’t believe it! Thank you so much-always appreciate your comments 😃
Very cool! He looks like he's explaining how he died-
"I was standing there minding my own business, when all of a sudden, O~oo-w•w•g-ghh!.!.!.!"
I watch your videos every friday night with my 2 yr old daughter. She loves it and so do I.
I think this guy would be cool with a coat of glow in the dark paint overtop
What do you do with all your sculptures? Could you do a sculpture tour of where you keep them? 😊
Also, he looks smAshing 😏
He used to sell them but is currently keeping them - I looked it up on the FAQ part of his website.
I soon as I saw it I was reminded of Tim Burton's style
Hi Seeing you ghost reminded me of Jacob Marley from the"Christmas Carroll". With Christmas coming up in a few months, this could be a future project. Just a thought. Douglas
Don’t let people give you shit for using what you have on hand. That’s something to be proud of. Thanks for sharing cool sculpture!
Pure genius AGAIN.........As I've said before, they should put a 'love' button up there instead of just a 'like', cos' I'd press the 'love' button EVERYTIME.....great work bud :-)
Totally looks like Nigel haha great job like always
It's so relaxing and satisfying to watch you work, however, I do get hungry when you start talking about bacon bond. Lol
Bake and bond
I think it is called Baking bond...
The auto subtitles always make "bacon bond" out of it.
I just wanted to let you know that you not only inspire me but you have unlocked a hidden talent within me. After watching many of your videos I decided to stock up on Sculpey and found out that not only do I love working with it but I am quite good at working with it. Thank you so much for the quality content and inspiring me to grow as an artist.
As a big Tim Burton fan, I can truly appreciate this character. You did a great job! I honestly don't even know why this got any thumbs down at all.
*He edited out the best part of the video, making the nostrils*
Coward
him: "looks like Nigal Thornberry"
Me: thinks "Smashing" in my head
I LOVE Dapper Ghost!!!, and all the texture! Oh my gosh, he looks like my passed but very English grandfather, minus the whiskers, but dressed to the 9's! I like how all of your pieces can inspire, I'm learning alot about painting too. Again, Thank you Ace!
You sculpt clothes really well. I think a collab with you and Bernadette Banner would be so amazing. You could sculpt a historical outfit and she could make it. Not sure where this idea came from but there it is.
Have you thought about remaking a past creation with what you know now
I love watching videos of talented people, emphasizes how much of a potato I truly am
Same 🤣
ditto
You know, Ace, no matter what you create, it's a joy to watch and glean ideas. You are the master.
The time and effort patience and attention to detail you have is absolutely amazing
I always used a firm sculpey when I was making it, but it was my first time to use a soft sculpey when I made a small bird while watching your
It feels so good. I also watched this video well!
0:29 "Let's get stARTed"
You should make a brightly colored vibrant creature, this spooky stuff is nice but I would love to see a change one in a while
This is so awesome! I swear you need to be some kind of stop-motion movie creator, or character designer because I'd love to see this dude in a movie.
When you first mounted him and started adding more clay to his legs, I had the momentary suspicion that perhaps this video was NSFW. ;)
DO A SUMO WRESTLER 🤼♀️
Love the final colors. It honestly should be called Tim Burton Ghost blue. It's spot on!!!!
I can't say it enough... you're the master of texture!!! Looks awesome!
Almost 200,000 subs!
Is it just me or did you hear bacon bond the first time you watched one of his videos lol?!?
He's very elegant and pretty cool.
He seems nice😊
I did not realize what u could do with the base. This has opened Pandora’s box for me. I see more sculptures happening in my future. Thank you
Hmmmm
Make a movable figurine of a mythical/made up creature.
That would be a challenge
Yay 100th like... now, l predict 7 snakes of clay... let's see if im right at the end of the vid lol
Haha you better post an update 😉
Oooh so close! Ace said it 6 times lol. Love his floofy moustache 😁
I would have loved to see him actually glow in the dark with some glow paint. That would have made it even more awesome than it already is.
He’s fabulous..love all the details ..he looks like he’s been on the booze before he passed over and found himself stuck..Love the creations you make ..each has its own personality 😀
I'm finally first to view!!!!!!!!!
"SMASHING!"
Couldn't help it, you mentioned Nigel Thornberry and I had a nostalgia trip XD but a very dapper ghost indeed
Love the work!
I've got a challenge for you: Make a Leopard Gecko. There's a lot of different morphs of leopard gecko (basically gecko breeds), so you have a lot of options besides just the standard when you go to paint it.
Happy to see a new video! Thanks for being awesome!
As soon as your said, "Nigel Thornberry" I couldn't un-see it!! 😂😂
Another awesome piece! I found the wood planks very satisfying to watch 😁❤️
I love him! He belongs in the haunted mansion at Disney! I’d love to see a monster. Like Arachne. She’s part woman part spider from Greek mythology.
He is beautiful. The fancy shoes to the curly mustach to to the hairquiff. Gorgeous.
PLEASE MAKE MORE TIM BURTON STYLED STUFF
I'm a huge fan of you and his work so the two combined I think my soul left my body!💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Ace you are the best!
Aww thanks Ace! You just made my day!
Shockingly amazing 👍👍👍✌️
*The wooden platform looks so real!*
Woah! You kinda scared me at 4:47.... thought you were sculpting the ghost of John Holmes for a second there... carry on.
I really like him! The monochromatic colour really sells it and I love the tiny pupils :) the details are awesome.
I now want to see you make a statue man though- maybe a medusa diagrams with two figures as he is being transformed to stone? Would be a new challenge for you!
with decorating a cake with icing you roll it out and then lay on top of the cake,and then smooth out.love ur stuff
I usually use aluminum foil and tooth picks for the legs cause I make smaller figures, I don't know that much about the community ( probably cause I'm young) but I know it's something I want to get into and something I really want to do. My parents love it when I make clay creations ( even though there not that good) but my parents really like to see me just find something I love and just create and do something creative and find something new.
So I know you're really enjoying making these original characters and designs (as well as making fan designs) but if possible I would love to see you make Carnage from the Marvel comics! He may be a little weird with his design but it would be really cool to see!
Am I the only person that would LOVE to see Ace of Clay do a Nightmare Before Christmas statue with all of the characters in the middle of Halloween town?
This has to be the best one yet, I love him. I'd happily let him haunt my shelf :P
Side note, it'd be great if you could slow down the time lapse a little when you're doing the finer details, like the hands or the ears and face, because it's hard to see what you're doing at such a high speed.
This is my absolute favorite one because it's definitely Tim Burton-ish. Definitely an amazing one! Please do more like this!!
Still think this is one of my favourites of recent weeks! Please do a spider of some sort in the future!! :D
I would love to see a young headless horseman for the next spooky sculpt! Awesome build :D
He looks fantastic!! I love all the little details you always put into clothing. Really adds to the realism of your sculpting (even when you’re sculpting a fantasy-esque character)!
Also, 100% agree with you about looking like Nigel Thornberry 😂
That was strangely hypnotic and relaxing to watch. Absolutely beautiful work.
Nice job on the orbs in the beginning of the video. Gives it that ghostly vibe.
Love this. His gesture is so expressive.
I’m now totally addicted to your channel and have my own stock of tools and super sculpy - oh thank you Amazon Prime late night shopping! In all seriousness, I have to make a load of character models for a kids book I’ve illustrated and I was finding my Fimo pants to work with - having watched this, things are going well
I know how much you hate doing hands, but you really did an excellent job on them here. Very expressive! Great job.
I love that you've been adding bases to your creations! It really adds more value and elevates your work.
