- Probably. I haven't really looked into it enough to properly make that claim, but if there's one thing the internet is good for, it's making outlandish claims based on little or no evidence.

#sonic #sonicfrontiers #sonicmovie - Jak na to + styl
Our kids look forward to your videos every. single. week. Your narration makes them laugh so hard, and our daughter now wants to buy her own clay and tools ^-^
Aww!! I'm sure she'll be a great sculptor 😁
Mine too!
My little brother loves watching these with me whenever he sees a new one out
I watch his videos with my kids too, they love him!
Omg, I really recommend this one air dry clay, DAS Stone, if you can find it in your area. I use it a lot and it's fantastic!! And you don't need an oven to dry the sculptures, just leave them out in the air for a day and they dry by themselves!! I wish you and your kids well :)
NEVER STOP TALKING SO MUCH! Besides the fact that you make awesome tiny nerdy things what drew me to this channel and made me become a fan are your narrations of the entire process
Hearing him talk helps me follow along
@@bluerobin2982 same! And he's also hilarious
@@veronica.gimenez i agree
The constant talking is like, 60% of the reason why I keep coming back to this channel - even though I'm not particularly into clay building. It's consistently funny, the jokes don't feel forced, the explanations are well-made. I think it really adds to the soothing nature of these videos.
I 100% agree!
that static does wonders 🤩 this sonic came out INCREDIBLE
hi youtube
Wait, CZcams commented?
🎷🗿
Guess this makes Adam famous now
Good taste.
I love the commentary on your videos. I don't like when other art channels are silent because I prefer to learn. Even though I don't create this type of art myself, it's fascinating hearing what goes into it and understanding the reasoning behind certain choices. Your channel stands out because it not only has commentary but the commentary is both informative & as entertaining as the art itself.
Exactly, & if they don't like him talking they can just mute it
Never seen such realistic Sonic being so fluffy and soft, it's so amazing.
At this point if Adam could make Tails too, it would be such a masterpiece.
And Knuckles.
Jokes aside, it would be great. No pressure, other than the anticipation of playing Sonic Frontiers.
@@tedizursa1277 He already made knuckles im pretty sure
@@bananapower5619 Ah, so he did. Though the Knux made was in reference of that second Sonic movie.
i love sonic, I'm definitely going to build a cement hulk monument on my channel!
Your commentary is 93% of the reason I watch your channel regularly.
As do I
I'm afraid of what the other 7% is.
@@NorthoftheBorder your sensuous hands 🤲
@@Krzys_D Don’t forget the crunchy table 😍
@@NorthoftheBorder I learn arty stuff from watching you
I think the reason I like your videos so much is the narration. You explain what’s going on, show them errors and explain how to make them good enough. You don’t hide behind the music and a perfect piece. Please don’t stop!
i love sonic, I'm definitely going to build a cement hulk monument on my channel!
I’m a fan of your narration during these vids. It’s kinda cool that you do it, because it shows off your storytelling talent, too.
I actually love your commentary. When I'm having high anxiety, your videos are some of my favorite go-to because it can bring a smile to my face, and I love seeing you make everything from start to finish. I've learned a lot about art (I draw, not sculpt, but I imagine there's a fair amount of similarities when you boil it down to basics) and it's def helped me grow and consider things like size or colors and shapes.
me too ! i have very bad GAD and their videos help calm me down a lot :]
@@trinket_rats Same. I also get panic attacks that can be 6hrs+ easy, so finding Good Noise(TM) can make a world of difference. I'll put on my fav vids from North of The Border and another youtuber with a very similar vibe and just marathon them for hours.
It's like Bob Ross for my chaos gremlin brain
@@mudawott Bob Ross for chaotic neutrals
I literally live for your commentary! Never stop talking ❤❤
PLEASE never cut back on the commentary. It keeps the video lively and the jokes/phrases are just pure gems. I cannot imagine a video of yours without the commentary. Keep it up, Adam 💞
i agree
i love sonic, I'm definitely going to build a cement hulk monument on my channel!
Joining in fashionably late to agree with basically every other comment I've seen and say that your commentary is one of the top reasons I keep coming back to your videos. That, and honestly this sort of craft and creation style really just ticks all the right boxes in the part of my brain that sends happy signals to the rest of my brain.
Plus, I've been learning a lot from your videos and recently started making a tiny nerdy thing of my own! (Though mine will be paper mache instead of clay) And your commentary played (and continues to play) a big part in said learning process ☺
i love sonic, I'm definitely going to build a cement hulk monument on my channel!
One reason I like to watch artists on CZcams is because I love to learn how things work, this guy constantly repeating how the process works is never boring, because I always forget things, so it's like relearning every video. And I fall asleep when things are too quiet, the narration makes it fun.
I can confirm this is the softest sonic on CZcams
NAILED IT
@@NorthoftheBorder Congrats for making the softest Sonic anyone has ever seen
Do you think you could make a mercy shirt that says “Tiny Nerdy Things” ? I would buy it.
@@ProudlyOwns3Cats And make it one size smaller than what it actually says.
@@R.K_Chalkboard shirt design is another shirt with the message
A shirt on a shirt basically
Honestly, despite my only having discovered you not that long ago, you have become one of my absolute favourite artists. Not only because I truely admire your work (which I really really do) but also because you are entertaining as f. I consider you an artist of tiny nerdy things and an artist at making your audience laugh. Please keep talking and making amazing tiny nerdy art.
They'll never shut me up.
I've subscribed to several channels that say nothing throughout. Not Nearly As Entertaining! Bill, Craftsman, Craftastrophe, North of the Border, Studson to name just a few. All have a different but entirely entertaining dialog as well as talent! When they post I jump! If Minibricks posts it has to be something I want to see, the others have more to offer than a well done project. Also makes me feel like I know them.
@@NorthoftheBorder I bet you also narrate in your dreams, lol.
NEVER STOP COMMENTARY! there is some other great clay building channel on yt you even recommended yourself but I honestly don’t watch this one regularly because the commentary is missing. Your jokes and narration totally makes it.
i love sonic, I'm definitely going to build a cement hulk monument on my channel!
Your narration is what draws me back every time!! Love your voice, tone, and rhythm. Wonderful cadence and humor.
Make a realistic horrifying Christmas tree or turkey for thanksgiving’s
Yessss!!!!
Tree with eyes and a expression telling you I suck at comedy and I want to kill you
Realistic hand turkey
A Monster 👾 Turkey 🦃 who's made a nest in or under the branches of a potential Christmas tree! 🎄 Maybe include a man w/kids carrying an ax to cut down the Turkey Nest! A whole story line!
A Christmas tree for thanksgiving? Don't worry, I have a very exciting plan for a Christmas video.
“Some artist let their art speak for itself but mine sometimes babble incoherently” the true words of an artist
*babble
@@smallboi1007 thanks
i love sonic, I'm definitely going to build a cement hulk monument on my channel!
Please don’t stop talking I truly love you narrating everything you’re so funny and besides loving your art what made me truly seek for all your videos is the combo of the sculpting (especially the unconventional funny ones) and your comments I adore the way you make us feel like we’re actually bonding with you so don’t ever stop please!
Your narrative is part of the charm of your videos. I really like all the art you have made so far. Your voice helps me calm down if I had a bad day. Keep up the great content!
I love the narration in your videos I really enjoy the step by step instructions it makes doing this kind of stuff a lot more feasible and you also will add in when you make mistakes or when you change your plan and it just makes everything so much more realistic to me knowing that when I’m making art I don’t have to beat myself up over mistakes or changing my vision because even my favorite artists do the same things ❤
this and the plain fact that Adam’s commentaries are just plain hilarious! I laugh and giggle so many times when watching his videos
Your talking is the entire reason I’m subbed. So many people make clay stuff, all of them are interesting, but not as interesting as your narration. Your builds just make it cooler
Noooo your commentary actually helps me understand the process and makes me want to recreate it and because you make it light, lively and almost as if you’re explaining it to a friend, it makes it that much better to watch! It’s why when I discovered your channel, I’ve almost watched all videos already and I’ve only been here for a short while.
the talking is entertaining so please don't stop :< your one of the only youtubers that make clay stuff I can find that doesn't play annoying music
There is already tons of diorama and sculpture channels who keep silent, but your commentary and trademark insane creations is what makes the videos special
Genuinely love your commentary. I actually prefer art videos where the creator talks through what they’re doing and why - and yours comes with snark and comedy, so even better lol
It's truly awesome to see your projects come together like they do! Your "chatter" is both engaging and cheeky and helps pull me through!
That's not to say your craftsmanship isn't engrossing, in and of itself! Big Sonic fan and it's great to see your spin on the character!
As a big Sonic fan I really love of all your craftsmanship of how you be making live action Sonic movies into clay. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼
Your commentary and humour is what makes your channel my favourite craft channel on here! Honestly your vids are the highlight of my week lol
It's nice to see you working with soft blue materials without it being too upsetting. Thank you for making Friday lunches more bearable.
your commentary gives your channel so much charm! genuinely if you just made a video talking for an hour i would 100% tune in. never feel like you have to silence yourself
I love your talking. Not only does it help me understand what youre doing, but your voice is calming and its like someones in front of me, explaining whats going on
you and studson studio's are literally two of my favorite channels, not only because of the diys, mostly because of the fun commentary and narration. so please never stop talking!
This videos are always so fun to watch. The calm narration with the super impressive and dope craftsmanship in the background really lets you relax and just enjoy watching a master of the craft. These kinds of videos always make art look so much easier than it is in a way that inspires people to get into art themselves (or get back into it).
K989
I love your narration and explanation of your process :) Loved the video he looks so soft!
Your art is not the only thing that has evolved since I started watching, your editing, your jokes have gotten better and better! Every week last month I laughed at you naming the Pokemons, even though i was expecting it every time
I came to your channel first for your art I stayed for your personality and humor. Don’t stop being you in your videos!!
It's your ramblings that make the build just that much more enjoyable! Don't ever stop. 👍
I watch this channel mainly for the commentary and the editing. I love these kinds of videos with sculpting and art like this, but your editing and commentary is the whole reason why you and Studson Studios are the channels I always watch for this kinda thing. You and Studson Studios have a formula that is so entertaining and funny. Don't change a thing!
omg this static fur application you've been doing is SO NEAT, luv this cute sonic
This fur technique always looks so freaking good. Nice color mixing 👌🏽
Now that you’ve made the softest sonic, you have to make a sonic out of blue broken glass.
ITS TIME TO STOP
just kidding, that's a great idea XD
After seeing Adam electrocute himself repeatedly are we sure broken glass is a good idea? Think he cut himself on aluminum foil once too 🤔
Y’make a fair point
I feel like he did with the Knuckles/Sonic build with the fluorescent spikes
that is the least cursed project i’ve ever saw you make
I love how you talk so much during your videos, your voice is calming but your narration is fun and it's just the best thing ever! please don't change that, it's awesome!
Recently (like last night actually) I made a Halloween tree as a necklace/jewelry holder while using some of your methods of sculpting and it has turned out AWESOME! literally my best creation yet, thank you for getting me into sculpting
Your talking is one of my favorite things about your videos. The humor, plus the explanation of what you're doing combined with the level of quality of your work is top tier content 👌. Yours are actually some of the very few videos that I actually enjoy re-watching.
3:10 you’re done with sculpting the gehog, now onto the hed
your voice is the only thing i can fall asleep to (the rest is just screaming, rock, yelling etc.) your voice is so calminggggg!
The witty commentary is the reason why I watch your channel and no other clay sculptors (or whatever genre you call this). I’ve gone back and watched most of your videos and I gotta say, you’ve done a great job improving with time. Just keep doing your things and I’ll keep coming back.
Also, yes to horrifying turkeys and Christmas trees (menorahs, etc.)
2:41 Personally, one of the reasons I love your videos so much is *because* you talk through the whole process. I don't enjoy crafting videos without voiceovers nearly as much. The humor you bring to your videos by talking through them is what keeps me watching every week.
i love sonic, I'm definitely going to build a cement hulk monument on my channel!
The unique and entertaining voiceover is one of the things that kept me coming back when I first started watching your videos. It sets you apart from other creators who don't talk to us at all as they work, which makes me feel disconnected from them.
Honestly your the only person I watch that does this kinda of stuff, while everyone else is serious and has long periods of time without talking, your funny and always talk.
Sonic looks SO ODD without his quill… hair… things. I didn’t realise how smol his ears actually were
Also your ramblings are like my favourite parts of your videos, that’s what makes them unique along with how interesting your sculpture ideas are
8:32 the best part is when Adam apply some texture, very carefully of course
I absolutely love the commentary on these videos, especially since your voice is SO calming and it means i kinda learn something from the videos as well :)
I think you might actually be right about the sonic sprint pose. From what I can gather, the Manga for Naruto started in 1999 whilst the pose was added as the top speed / run dash animation for sonic in 1993 for sonic cd
Your talking (and comedy) is literally my favorite part of your videos! There's any number of art channels that do their videos with little to no talking, and I do little to no watching of said channels. It's the personality that makes the video worth watching.
Please never stop talking.
I have serious perfectist issues and I gave up clay modelling because of how easy so many channels make it look and give no wide commentary on how to improve. Discovering your channel 2 months ago has seriously helped me to get back into the hobby I love because I feel understood when I see a creator who isn't afraid to acknowledge his mistakes and even restart sometimes. I binged over half your channel's back catalogue in this time because you are just so enjoyable to listen to. Keep it up man. Your channel is a stand-out in the clay community. I don't want no ASMR oddly satisfying 5 minute craft bullshit. I wanna see details getting painstakingly added and then smoothed over. I want to see multiple coats of paint. I want to see longer videos and feel effort rather than feel inadequate by seeing a lack of effort and getting incredible results. Your designs are so creative compared to practically anyone else on the platform and I live for it.
I think I speak for everyone when I say... We really enjoy the narration and comedy throughout the entire build. This came out awesome man. I really like the flock look, it's really cool. Also very cool how it's applied. Well done bud. Now you need Knuckles and Tails
I love watching your videos because they always bring me the sense of satisfaction. You show the way you build things step by step to help viewers easier to imagine!!
Great job!!
Aw, so fuzzy and cute! I like this rendition- you successfully crossed the uncanny valley that is Sonic’s connected cyclops eyes 👀
Gotta go fast! 🦔
I'm kinda surprised someone doesn't like the commentary - then again, I find it funny and a lot more entertaining than just dead silence during something like sculpting.
On a side note, love the sanic
I used to watch other channels where they don’t do narrations at all and it got boring after a while, I always found myself skipping through the video till the end just to get through it. Your narration along with ur sense of humor n insertion of funny clips/ memes here n there is what I love about ur videos/ channel (and I know most of ur viewers agree). Never change ur content coz it’s amazing as it is 😌
I think the talking just adds so much. It's absolutely amazing
I’m so glad you’re making this! Actually writing a story about sonic right now this is so cool.
Eye tip: since you’re using UV resin anyway, try poking a hold for the pupil and then painting it black, and painting the base darker eye color. Add the UV resin and then add another layer of color and then more UV resin. Repeat a few times and you can add some depth and cool effect to the eyes in just a few minutes!
You don’t need thick layers of resin either, you can just do the paper thin ones and it will still work.
If you sculpt a bit of a bowl for the iris the effect will be even better!
This can be used to make realistic eyes, or cool fantastic eyes with glitter or effects, or you can go demonic and add streaks of red in the layers.. it’s a versatile trick that doesn’t take much work and uses very little extra material.
You’re already sculpting and painting eyes, why not just shape it slightly different and then spend a few extra minutes on the finish for a huge difference in look and effect!
Hope this helps!
Your skills are super fun to watch but your comedy and voice overs is what got me to watch almost every episode. Keep up the amazing work.
I love your talking in your videos
i love your voice and goofy words! don’t ever stop talking, it’s a comfort 🥺
but can we please go one video without triggering my trypophobia lmao 😭
I love these videos and can we all appreciate the effort he puts into videos
I always do his commentary. And skill are what make these videos great.
I freaking love your voice over!! It’s one of the reasons I watch your videos besides the awesome creativity don’t stop doing the talking it’s extremely entertaining and relaxing
I listen to your videos while I have anxiety attacks, your voice is so soothing and your humor and creations never fail to distract me and cheer me up
I actually love watching artists that do narrate the entire process, because that way I can follow the thought process so much more in detail!
So please never stop talking and keep up the puns
Never ever stop the commentary!!!! It is what makes this channel unique and awesome!!!
Absolutely do not change your commentary. It's part of your identity and what makes your videos so enjoyable! Keep being awesome!
It really should be called the “Sonic Sprint”
Sonic has been doing it since like 1998 (1993 if you count CD) and Naruto came out in 2007
(5:00) OMG HELP- I CANT BREATE- HAHAHAHHAHAHHA
i love that scene
The way you talk and your quirky comments highlight your creations. I love them!
“And gently apply some texture” * proceeds to beat the base with rocks *
i love it when you talk, when i watch other artist they art as enticing as yours, i love yours because it is like a tutarial also
I for one, think you should continue inundating us in every video.
Your voice is smooth, and I think it gives it that 'Not just good; Good enough' feel.
Honestly, your commentary is an integral part of why I love your videos haha
Right i actually love you talking! That’s what makes your channel really special (well your art work is really good too) but your commentary just makes my day Everytime !
I always look forward to your videos. They're always there for me when I'm having a rough day and end up giving me some inspiration when I feel like I'm stuck with my own art. Yeah, it doesn't always work but it helps get the creative juices going. If I wasn't so impatient I'd take up sculpting. So I stick to writing and drawing. :')
I only follow two crafters on CZcams, and it's entirely because I love your personalities ♡ You could release a podcast just talking about Stuff and Things and I'd happily listen
i love sonic, I'm definitely going to build a cement hulk monument on my channel!
Your commentary throughout your videos is one of my favorite things about you and your channel! It’s funny and entertaining!💛
Since discovering you a few weeks ago, me and my almost 9 year old son look forward to your videos. And your narration is HILARIOUS. Makes us want to go out and grab clay and foam!!
I used to be a creative bloke a long time ago. Never thought I'd be able to tap into that part of my brain again.
Your fantastic videos inspired me to dabble in this beautiful art of squishing and pressing squishy stuff to make said squishy stuff into something better.
Looking forward to seeing your content grow..
Keep em coming and keep up the great work!!!!
Your voice and the things you say are actually about 60% of why I watch every video you post, keep up the good work!
can't wait to see more nightmarish creations of yours!!!!! KEEP UP THE HORRIFYING WORK!! Also good work making a fluffy rock in the shape of a mutant rodent that is unnaturally fast..
Yet another great sculpture! I love the fluffy effect that you’ve added onto sonic, I just wanna pet him ✨_✨
Don’t stop talking either, your voice is so calming to listen to while watching your oddly satisfying process of creating the sculptures. You’re super funny too!
And I have a sugguestion! I know I’m four days late, so I get if this isn’t seen, I can always try again next video. Anyways, you should do some sculptures of the monsters from the mobile game “My Singing Monsters.” I would personally love to see you try creating the Mammot, Furcorn, Maw, Entbrat, Oaktapus, or something from Bone Island!
love ur videos dude, and never stop talking! your humor is what cheers up the week and makes us enjoy your art even more!
Keep narrating, you are the only channel among similar channels that I am actually subbed to, purely because of your narration and personality. Keep up the good work bro, I look forward to everything you put out!
Love your work and you talking in your videos is exactly why I watch every single one of your uploads. Never stop doing what you do!
I find you're voice over very entertaining. It's very hard to do and you have a nice mix of satisfying and funny.
I love listening to you talk. And sonic's ears are my favorite part of him. They're so cute❤️
Edit: I also love him as a character. Two tails is another favorite, and Knuckles rounds out the crowd.
Honestly, North of the Border is my favourite model making channel because he talks through his process.
His humours great, and he's a fellow Canadian! Love it!
Keep up the great work, man!
I really enjoy watching ur vids...they're really satisfying and calming
Narration is the reason I subbed! That and the fact that you own your mistakes make me respect and admire you+your channel that much more. With that being said, such a missed opportunity to recreate the og nightmare-fuel movie sonic lmao
I like how he spoke about Sonic's "original design" and proceeded to show a render from Sonic Unleashed a game that came out in 2008
