The title scared me for a second, then I realized you were just making something awesome again.
Thank you! No, I'm still getting warmed up lol. It's a slow burn lololol
@@SculptureGeek I misinterpreted the text in your thumbnail as you create Cloud using a sculpting software, leading to PC issues lol.
Oh I thought you were referring to vaping
First Link, now Cloud? You're bringing all my videogame crushes to life 😭
I could stare at this for hours, there's just so many details that I love!
Thanks for watching! :)
bro did you watch the video the fabric is real fabric 😭

i don't get your point.

Sorry this took so long everyone! Life has been unkind. Please watch, enjoy and I'll see you in the next one MUCH sooner. In the meantime, if you haven't seen my last video check that out here-

Also, my apologies for anyone that might feel tricked I hope in the spirit of October/Halloween it turned out to be a treat :)
See you in the comments

Dude, the title gave me a heart attack for a second there, lol.
But damn tho, he looks awesome! Amazing work as always. d(>w•d)
You scared me with that title... Omg 😢 but I'm so happy to see a new video of yours 😍 it always makes my day
Now that you've done Cloud, you should do the rest of the main cast of Final Fantasy VII, followed by the main cast of Final Fantasy VIII, IX, and X. I'd also love to see the entire cast of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross as well. I know it's a big ask but not only will a lot of the fans of Final Fantasy love it, I think you'd enjoy the product of your own labour. Hell, I'd kill to see fully fired, painted, and glazed version of them all.
Wooao es sencillament hermoso grasias esta bien detallado 😍👍
I truly did not want to see this.
Now I want to make it or buy it :P
Really looks to good.
From an OG FF7 fan from 1997... I have tears! WELL DONE YOU MADE ME CRY. He's just so beautiful!
Thank you! It was near magical wasn't it? lol So many late summer nights on the ps1 :)
I lost my furr baby back in July. Sorry for your lost. Also your attention to detail is everything!
Thank you! My condolences. Yeah she was by my side nearly every day for 16 years. In my studio and around my home. Big hugs to you and thank you for watching :*)
@@SculptureGeek Thank you! And it will get better in time.
I never wanted to kiss a sculpture in my entire life BUT this looks amazing I JUST LOVE THIS WITH EVERY INCH OF MY BODY (? u're amazing!
Haha thanks so much :) Ya Cloud is a pretty dude, for sure lol!
I'm a simple guy, I see Cloud and I click. This is gorgeous!
Thank you very much! Also, same 😅
OKAY BUT THE GLAMOUR SHOTS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO HAD ME SWOONING FOR CLOUD OMG HE LOOKS SO STUNNING AND HANDSOME AND STRIKING AND CAPTIVATING. 😍😍😍😍
Thank you! Those are some of my favorite parts to film. I went a little moody with the lighting. I thought it was fitting for Cloud. Thanks for watching :)
@@SculptureGeek You did amazing. Thank you!
Fr
i was in awe for pretty much all of this, but i think i actually lost my mind when you gave him pores. the meticulousness! the attention to detail! the skill! the sheer level of commitment! various other interjections and suchlike expressions of marveling!
Thank you :) I do tend to get lost in detailing. It's one of the most fun parts. Thank you for watching!
Wow, that's some detail right there! The fabric you used for the outfit, the eyelashes, THE TEXTURE OF THE SKIN, HOLY COW??!! It makes it look like a real cosplayer - please take that as a compliment!
Absolutely outstanding!
Thank you so much it will be here much sooner! Thanks again for watching!
Man, your sculpts are always so damn incredible, not to mention the completely optional effort you put into the editing work. You always go the extra mile, and I know I speak for more than just myself here when I say we’re more than willing to wait for it. So no pressure, I wish you the best with everything going on in your life, just know that we’re all rooting for you! ✌️
I appreciate that so much! Thank you! Definitely need to post more than 2-3 times a year 😅 Life just gets away from you sometimes.
Holy crap. 1- I forgot how much I love your sculptures. 2- How is this better than your already great sculptures? The shear textures just elevate it SOOOOOO much. Also, I thought that the left image in the thumbnail was a screenshot from the game
Haha thanks! I try to improve with each sculpt even after all these years. Always learning. Happy that people enjoy watching tho! a much appreciated 😁🙏
Woooooo! I genuinely love how you mix media your sculptures for texture and whatnot, this turned out amazing!
Thank you! Yeah that's part of the fun, originally, I was going to sculpt all that texture but then I decided that there's no real reason to, especially since the sock matched perfectly. I thought it was worth my sanity to just use that lol
I legitimately shed tears at the end. The amount of detail you put into Cloud's face to the point where I could read every single expression that could be used to describe his character just EXPLODED and I was absolutely mesmerized by the fact that you could capture it all with this sculpt. The general look of a man with the eyes of a soldier, yet carrying the expression like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders expressed in this one piece is so stunning that I can't help but cry a little bit, especially since the game is one of my first childhood RPGs.
Thank you so much for sharing your work with us. It's such a wonderful gift, and I can't wait to see what you'll make next with it.
Thank you so much! This comment almost had the same effect on me :*) It's a great feeling to hear others appreciate all the hard work that goes into this stuff. FF deserves nothing less though! So many memories. Thank you for making my day and for such kind and thoughtful words. More on the way :)
I literally gasped when you brought in the actual knit sweater into the sculpture. Brilliant
I lost my precious fur baby two days ago. Love the tribute.
So sorry to hear that. Yeah, I've been a mess watching that over and over, I still can't make it through without tears. Sending big hugs to you my friend.
Holy. crap. this is a gorgeous statue! Your are such an incredible and talented artist, thankt you for posting! Also would love to see Sephiroth in your style!❤
He is absolutely beautiful 😍
The eyes make him stand out, really great job 👏
Thank you! Yeah, it does make me kind of want to mold this one and give him a proper paint job. I never added eyelashes to a sculpt before but I do think I prefer just a bit of painted eyes rather than sculpting them in. Maybe one day, I'll mold him up- get some glass or acrylic eyes, polish things a bit further. Idk, I try not to get too wrapped up once they're done. Since most of these are just personal works to scratch the itch. Just sort of onto the next. Thanks for watching :)
@@SculptureGeek that would be super cool though
I'm not sure what I am more impressed by... your sculpting or your video production!
You are way too good at this, are you even human??? Well done like always you really are extremely talented👌🏻
Haha thanks! Yes definitely human, unfortunately lol. At least until Uncle Elon gives me the sculpting chip XD
That is absolutely beautiful, I like the how the head is tilted down a little and to the side, and the eyes with the white sparkle. Excellent work sir
Thanks! Yeah, I tried to give him little more emotion/feeling rather than a static or standard action pose. Part of the joy of sculpting I guess. You can try to portray the subject however you’d like. I just thought this gesture was more “Cloud” than you usually see. Thanks for watching 🙏
That is the most beautiful thing made by mortal hands... I can feel the lifestream flowing with energy!
Wow, thank you! That's quite the compliment! Much appreciated :)
@@SculptureGeek Seriosuly as a graphic designer who recently purchused Monster Clay to try a new medium, I am heading to your gumroad link to sculpt as soon as my paycheck comes in! Fan-freaking-tastic. Fan since the mad doctor sculpt days. Keep it up man your a master craftsman!
The cuts synched with beats! Mmuaahh, love it.
Thank you! Makes it a lot more satisfying and fun to watch, I think. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching :)
@@SculptureGeek It certainly makes the video feel more happening and lively! I used to do this when I used to record and edit music shows of myself and my friends. It certainly feels a lot more satisfying and fun to watch. I am glad that at least some people are doing this. When the cut is off beat, it does the work but rhythm synched cuts are just lovely!
Great use of natural materials incorporated, superb fin and that skin detailing Omg
Thank you so much! Yeah originally, I was going to sculpt the knitting, but luckily the sock matched pretty well. Saved me a bit of time anyway :)
As a HUGE Final Fantasy fan: I love everything about this. Amazing work!
Thank you man! Yeah, been a fan since the beginning myself as well. Long overdue to give this some love. Thanks for watching 🙏☺️
I love Cloud this is so beautiful omg
Thank you! Same :)
Stunning! I was captivated watching as you brought Cloud to life. You are so talented with an amazing eye for detail and accuracy. Love it!
Thank you!
I love how you played the different clips to the rhythm of the song
Thanks! I enjoy editing as much as sculpting :)
Holy moly. I was in slack-jawed awe for this entire video. The composition and editing alone were amazing but the bust you made... It's so detailed and beautiful o-o; Wow. I literally can't even think of anything to say because I'm so impressed. Also I'm sorry for your loss. I hope things get better for you soon :)
Thank you! Comments like this are helping a lot right now. I wish everyone could have gotten to know Miko and I wish I had featured her in more videos. She was such an awesome cat and it was an honor to have her as my best friend. Thank you again for watching and helping to make my day just that much brighter 🙏😊
The best sculptor on this platform. Simply Incredible.
Aw thanks friend
Your commitment to detail and perfection is incredible. Always happy to see you’ve uploaded.
Thanks Clint! Yeah I’m working on uploading more frequently. Thanks for stopping by!
Woah!! My mouth jaws were opened the whole time! The amount of detail! Your a true master at your craft!! Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Thank you! Lots of good stuff on the way! 😀
Adding clay over the fabric is such a fantastic idea! Ugh and don't get me started on the AMAZING details in the hair and his shoulder pad!!!! Also, the pores seem like they took at least 50 hours to do😭😭😭 this piece should be in a FF museum this is DEDICATION🔥
So glad I found your channel, I hope things are going much better now!
Yeah originally I was going to sculpt the fabric but then I found that sock at wal mart and the pattern matched perfectly so I went that route instead. Also yeah, the texturing took a while lol. I get a little lost in that stage. Time just flies by when doing that. It’s really relaxing. ☺️
Absolutely exquisite work! Your attention to detail and knowledge of form are both mind blowing.
Damn man, you are incredible. The way you work that peanut butter(lol) it's just crazy. Hands down the best sculptor on you tube and probably anywhere else. Your work is freaking out of this world bro
Thanks man! That means a lot. Lol! Slap some jelly on this one and let's call it a sandwich- it's finally finished XD
I love how the style is anime but the planes on the face are still anatomically correct. Way to go. Worth the wait!
Thank you. Yeah, These style characters are challenging. Simple but also complex. I had a lot of fun tweaking things. Not perfect of course but, you have to call it at some point :) Thanks for watching!
@@SculptureGeek I hear ya’. What’s the saying? Art is never finished. It’s merely abandoned”.
FFVII is my favorite game of all time.
I enjoyed the original game first on PSX, and now I am enjoying the Remake again.
Thank you for sharing your awesome art with us. You are truly gifted and talented.
Love the expression. Great job! Wish I could sculpt like that.
Can watch you sculpt all day. Very inspiring.
I missed this. Glad to see you’re back. Whether you keep posting, or how often, don’t mind at all. Just do your thing!
This is amazing!!! You blow me away with every sculpture
He turned out AMAZING!!!!!!
Thank you! I have to admit, I'm never totally happy with each piece. I tend to only see the flaws but I enjoy the process so much, I just overlook them and have fun. Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words :)
That yellow lighting is stellar! 😯
Thanks Ramiro! I try to have fun with the lighting. I love playing with colors and neon is my jam so this was a treat. Thanks for watching 😊
You are an absolute master! The attention to detail is mind blowing, thank you for sharing your skills.
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! Happy anyone wants to watch 😊💚 🙏
Okay, the use of the actual sweater knit fabric as a base for the clay was genius for the texture!! This was beautiful!!
I love how the clay looks genuinely like muscles as you build up the sculpture
Thank you! Yea that’s basically what I’m doing is making the foundation so it all reads as musculature/human form. That step is really fun because you get to be kind of loose and fluid with things.
The way you made the shirt is actually genius, I'm definitely using this Thank you!
Honestly, you could make your videos last ten times as long and I would still watch and thoroughly enjoy every single second of them. The level of dedication and attention to detail you add to your work along with the production values of the actual video is nothing short of insane.
I'm so happy to see another upload from you! Sorry life hasn't been the best, but I hope everything has or will sort itself out and you're in a better place.
your skills are incredibly impressive, holey moley. im so glad youtube recommended you to me. not even just these amazing sculpting skills, but your editing is so rad, your ability to keep the watcher watching and hooked is great.
Thank you very much! That means a lot to hear. Thanks again for watching and for the nice comments
So good to see ya back! Cloud is one of my favourite characters ever AMAZING JOB! Well done😲
Thanks man! Really appreciate that! Always loved Cloud as well. I mean- Final Fantasy in general but yeah.
Cloud is so pretty! :D I was impressed, but my jaw dropped as you started texturing the skin.
Thank you! Texturing is usually super fun and relaxing. Sometimes it can get a little hairy tho- like, you might make it look worse before it looks better. Definitely need to trust the process a little. Thanks for watching!
Yay Cloud, looks amazing.
Thank you!
you made him absolutely gorgeous oh my god
Jeezus, the stippling. You started and my brain slowly said ‘noooooooooo…’ I don’t envy the time that was required for you to stipple, but daaaamn, it’s beautiful! Respect!!
Haha thanks! My brain had the same reaction when I started too like “is anybody gonna notice the skin texture?” Of course then the ocd kicks in and I suddenly don’t have a choice 😅
Love your work. I also love the way you use items to work for your piece. I also love the soundtrack that you put for your video very Lively.🤩😍
Thanks! I try to keep it entertaining. It’s actually a much longer process. The music definitely helps 😅
This blew my mind with the level of detail, time and love poured into this creation. Amazing!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words. Yeah always love FF since the beginning. Thanks for watching :)
bro is majestic, you are a truly amazing man! all of this detail is just unbelievable, I am in complete shock!!! well done
omg the thing with jumper is so clever ! Brilliant stuff
I almost sculpted it by hand but luckily I found that sock and it seemed to fit perfectly. Saved me a bit of time and sanity lol 😅
👏👏👏 beautiful work!!! glad to see you're still killing it with the sculpting. :')
Thanks! Yes, always :) More on the way!
The texturing is amazing!!!
Thank you!
Your attention to detail is INSANE! This is amazing!
Sorry for your loss man
Thanks so much, man. It’s been surreal and awful. She’s been with me for just about every sculpt since I started except for a few pumpkin carvings that I did away from home. Just taking it day by day but this one is for her 😞 Thank you for the nice comment. It really helps brighten my day 🙏
Love what you did with that sweater lol!
Haha Fruit of the loom sock ftw! XD
im in love with this 🥺❤️ cloud my favorite boy ever ❤️❤️❤️
Blown away even farther than before! I can only say WOW! I always enjoy your editing skills and on this one I loved the way you matched the movement with this song. Thoroughly entertaining! Thanks for another amazing video. 🙌🏻🥰💕
Thanks again!
Absolutely mesmerizing!!
Thank you :) Also, Idk if your name is in reference to the game, but if it is, that was an excellent game! Always thought Bataran would make a cool sculpt!
Legit would pay for these kind of arts
This is truly a masterpiece, the details, the face, the hair, the eyes. The emotion portrayed. OMG! Also, the ascending excitement of the process along with the music. This one deserves a Like and Subscribe!
Thank you! Very much appreciated. I'm glad you like it. I tried to sculpt him with a little more depth and character than you would normally see on a toy/collectible.
I'm not sure how much you make off of youtube revenue, but whatever it is is not nearly enough. The amount of craftsmanship, care, and time you put into these pieces is astounding. I'm so happy to see that so many wonderful people are supporting you in your artistry!
Thank you! Yeah social media is an amazing thing that has created a lot of opportunity for me and pretty much everyone else. I'm just happy anyone wants to watch. I just need to post more. Thanks for stopping by :)
This work is fantastic! I have to admire the attention to such detail right down to the crinkles of the eyes and the pores. Not to mention, you nailed his haunted look that came of a life that dealt an unkind hand to him.
Thank you! I tried to capture that so this means a lot to hear. Cheers :)
Woooooo 😱👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏ESPECTACULAR👏👏
every video is a damn masterpiece. sorry for your loss
Thank you very much for watching and thank you for the condolences.
The toothbrush as a skin texturing tool blew my mind!
Haha yeah, always in the lookout for stuff I can use to make interesting textures etc…
This is insane! What a fantastic looking sculpt of Cloud! Well done!
This deserves so many more views
This is the first video of yours I've seen and your attention to detail is impressive. This looks so cool
Thank you so much!
As an avid Cloud Strife fan, I thank you sir, for this video 💞💞
Thanks for watching! 🙏😊
The king is back. Awesome work as always.
Haha thanks, man. 🙏😊
Wow you went next level on the textures for this one!
Thank you! It was a bit of an experiment. I always love doing some pore texture and skin wrinkles are also fun. Tough to achieve a good balance and not overdo it. Cloud is so soft and subtle lol.
I rarely appreciate an artist's work. But I must say that if I were to assign someone a job with your work, I would be satisfied. Super!
Thank you that's quite the compiment :) Cheers!
Yaaaaaaassss!! You did cloud you deserve the like n bell on for that one ma dude! Well done its stunning!!
Thanks a ton! Cheers :)
Wow! Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
flashbacks to the very first time i watched you link sculpture video, literally amazing
Welcome back! That feels like so long ago. I guess it sort of was especially in CZcams years lol. Thanks for stopping by again! :)
6:21 Now that's clever. Amazing results!
Thanks! Yeah glad it worked out lol. I wasn’t looking forward to sculpting all that knitting. 😅
NO WAY HES DOING THE PORES
my jaw also DROPPED when he did the shoulder guard weathering mannnnn
Sublime, spectacular, amazing...... just literally get shocked to see the final results. I was so scared bc I thought that this is gonna be your last video.
Your techniques are simply magnificent and in each video you improve in some splendid way.
I don't know what character I can recommend you to do because each video you make in your sculptures is beautiful to see, simply a magnificent job. 👏🏽💜
Thanks so much and thanks for watching! I have a laundry list of characters/projects I want to sculpt so no worries. Always paying attention to requests tho! Also, not going anywhere and there’s more on the way 😁
@@SculptureGeek So glad to read that, your content is so good and you are one of the reasons that I use CZcams. 💜
Edit: btw, my condolences for the loss of Miko Moon.
The fabric looks so good, i didn’t expect it to work so well
Thank you! Yeah the most important thing to pay attention to is scale, there. It can be tough to find something that will work and look good when using found objects. In this case, I was lucky enough to not have to sculpt all that knitting lol. Thanks for watching 🙏
I like these ones with some talking about the project!
Thank you for this. I plan on doing more explanation and walking people through the process to answer some questions and hopefully inspire them to start sculpting.
Insane work!!!! 😱😱😱
Wow. Mesmerizing. You are so talented!
Thank you very much for watching🙏😊
Wow. Chris- this is, as always, incredibly astounding work; your attention to detail, and overall craftsmanship are bar-none the best I know of in the community. Not to mention how continually I find myself in awe of both you and your process. Please, know that you have been, and ARE a true inspiration to so many of us, myself included; if life was going a bit differently for me, I think I'd have loved to be doing the same; sculpting always felt like the medium I thrived most in. But alas, haha. 😅
I also wanted to take the chance to send our deepest condolences for the loss you've been enduring; I can wholly empathize with you- as unfortunately we've endured multiple losses somewhat recently and with that in mind our hearts pour out for you and Miko. Ultimately to me, our cats, dogs, and most all pets are our family, and losing someone that close will never be easy, or be made easier by any means other than being given the time to mourn however you may. I hope everything in your life continues to brighten with each sunrise, and that more joyous times befall you soon ~
Can't wait to see what's next!
Best Wishes,
Luna & Steph ❤
P.S. - That title totally got me too for a sec- hahaha 😨😂
Thank you so much for this :*) Really made my night! I have some fun stuff in store and I can't wait to share. Definitely not going to be months between uploads. Just working on getting my head back in the game. It's been an awful year with much loss but things are looking up. I'm sending big virtual hugs for your losses as well.
I completely agree. I don't even look at Miko as if she was my pet, she was my friend and there through thick and thin. She enriched my life in more ways than I could ever imagine and the one piece of solace that I have is that I never took it for granted. I picked her up and cuddled every chance I got or whenever she asked. I always played with her and gave her all the attention, care and love that I possibly could and she returned the favor.
Even though I knew this day would eventually come, it was still like she just slipped right through my fingers. It's surreal not having her here with me, but I know she's here in spirit.
Thank you again for the warm comments and if you ever have any questions about sculpting or anything, don't hesitate to shoot me an email or a comment, here. Thank you again
I absolutely loved this! The detail is insane! I'd love to see another character from Square Enix get sculptured, specifically one of the Heroes from the Dragon Quest series.
Thank you! I do love me some Dragon Quest! You’re right too that would make for an awesome project! I’ll have to put it on my list- anyone particular you would like to see?
@@SculptureGeek I absolutely love the Dragon Quest series, the designs on the Heroes are hard to choose from, but I'd say the Hero from Dragon Quest 3, 4, 6, 8 or 11. Those ones would be my personal choice since I think their designs could turn out really sick sculpted. I'll leave the choice of which Hero up to you! Glad to see another fan of the Dragon Quest series!
This looks so amazing!!!! The title was terrifyingly brilliant
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words :)
I love when he does the brush thing i feel like it feels nice to scratch an itch on
Thank you! Yeah sculpting is so satisfying and almost therapeutic :)
Ur sculpting skill and video editing is so good.
Thank you so much 😀
This was AMAZING!!! I kept thinking he was going to look at me during the final shots XD
Man... this is just unbelievable. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT U MADE THAT. Amazing! You are a genuine artist!
Thanks so much! Yeah, I just love sculpting so much! It's truly my happy place :)
Unbelievable work.
Thank you thank you :)
Absolutely gorgeous! I love how you did the process with his sweater
Thank you! I was going to sculpt it but decided to keep my sanity lol.
All I can say is WOW!
Thank you so much :)
