One thing that might add a touch more realism is a clear UV resin for the eyes, and maybe the lips; it gives it a wet look that most paints lack, and sets up quickly. I learned of this trick from watching others, like Catmeleon (?) here on CZcams, that also creates figures. Your grasp of Anatomy is AMAZING! I will definitely be checking out more of your videos!
Also give the feet just a touch more thickness through the center/ arch. I watched this sculpture and then I looked at my own foot and my husband's, and I thought... just a bit of instep!
absolutely AWESOME! I watched a ton of North of the Border videos and I have no idea how come youtube recommend me your channel so late. glad it eventually did though very talented work, love it!
Awesome job! Also, for metallics like a sword does best with a high gloss black base before the metallic. Since metallics are mostly transparent you get the metallic shine and more realistic look.
So happy you made another Hollow Knight sculpture!! Looks incredible! I'm always amazed by your knack for anatomy :) Edit: Also love the addition of the shells!
As an amateur sculptor myself I just wanted to say that you are a big inspiration to me. Keep up the good work, love the human-hornet concept by the way.
amazing work man btw,i cant thank you enough for giving me the inspiration to make a bloodborne sculpture myself,because although its not at all perfect,its good enough and the process tought me so many things about the clay i use.Cant thank you enough
Love your enthusiasm. You are an awesome creative artist and teacher. Wish I could study with you but I am 96 years old and disabled with little talent.
I always find amazing on how by explaining your process while showcasing your process makes me feel calm and enjoy every second of it. Love your art, and the fact that you're real while doing so. Keep it up and thank you for sharing. It's inspiring (:
I’ve only just discovered your channel recently but I am so amazed and entranced by the grasp you have on anatomy, it’s such a treat to get to see how you build up the body layer by layer and I will definitely be using your videos whenever I need a physical anatomy reference for more dynamic poses. Absolutely incredible!
The lore you thought of goes hard, but I'd keep the fact that Hornet was trained by Vespa instead of Herra. If Herra's a tyrant queen, she can have Veapa train Hornet while she's busy with ruling. This would create conflict for Hornet in the long run because eventually she'll realize that Vespa was her mother figure this entire time.
I just wanted to let you know that I love your channel! The sculptures are incredible, the painting is great, the editing is really good, and the voiceovers are helpful and enjoyable. I have only been watching for a few months, but you have become one of, if not my favorite sculpting channel on CZcams. Keep up the awesome work :)
As always another banger of a video! And I personally enjoy when you get technical about the sculpting process and materials so I'd actually encourage you to go on more tangents about that lol. Can't wait to see what you've got in store next!
I love that you mention North of the border. He's one of my favorites. I think that's why you caught my attention. You both talk about the process as you sculpt and add that you know it's not exactly like the character but it's your interpretation of it. There for it's close enough. I love to watch people enjoy their craft as much as I do. Thank you for sharing. Love it.
Man, I JUST had this happen. I come from model horse customization, and I sculpted with polymer clay thinking that, for some reason, it would behave like plastic, wire, and apoxie. I cut things apart and then had to deal with cracks over and over. Knowing your problems are self created? You are speaking directly to my soul!
please, for the love of god, make more human hollow knight sculptures. everything from the character design to the touches of worldbuilding for this human au to of course the ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL sculptural work is itching my hollow knight fan cortex so perfectly.
Another possible material to use is cosclay. It retains flexibility after curing it in the oven. It could be something to look into, if it sounds like something you'd want to use
This sculpture is amazing and it's so fun to see how you work around design aspect and implement them in this version whilst still adding your own spins on it and this turned out awesome
The pigtails going up because of the motion was a genius idea!! And I love the lore you made along with it! I also love and admire how you are so honest about your mistakes!!
Wow absolutely amazing! The ease in which you create flawless anatomy is just breathtaking. What a stunning piece, and great video…thoroughly enjoyed seeing your process! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Hi Chong, I just want to say that I think you’re too hard on yourself sometimes; you don’t chase trends or anything, you just sculpt what you love, you have a passion for learning, and I think you produce the best sculptures on CZcams. I’ve watched all of your videos multiple times, and absolutely love hearing the stories you create. Like I said, don’t let the nagging voices in your head get you down, you’re awesome.
As always, its phenomenal. I always love watching your videos. I always get so much in return from all of them. You are a true master my friend. Props to you for all the amazing work you put out
Welcome back good sir! This was amazing. I would love to see you make more anatomy study/sculpt videos in the future as well, especially like the ones shown @ 15:29. The far right one in particular looks absolutely phenomenal!
Fantastic work, really enjoyed the whole process! One thing I though of that might be I teresting would have been to make a second head that has a mask/helmet in the shape of the original characters, like a skull helmet of sorts. Again awesome work =]
I wouldn't call the neck and shoulder proportions "wrong". I just bought a model pack for gesture drawing and her neck is much, much........much.... longer then what you got going on and she is a real life human. I've also seen quite a few models with wider shoulders then one would expect. Awesome sculpt! Great job!
I'm just sad that I forgot to turn on notifications for your channel and didn't get to see this sooner, looks amazing despite not being the regular HK art style.
If you ever decide to expand into another field of artistry I feel like you’d be amazing at voice acting. You have such a relaxed and conversational voiceover style 😊
When you were trying out the different poses in the beginning I could actually see and hear the fight. I think you adapted her gestures really well! The red eyes make it look a bit like she's infected but I can see why you wanted the pop of colour. This turned out really beautiful!
I absolutely loved this piece, but the one thought I had was that it could have been interesting to put a Thread Spool in place of the Butt pouch you added. In my mind, it'd make sense for her to use the "Silk" as part of her assassination tools, carrying around the thread as an additional tool, a way to throw her sword and recall it, or maybe even a weapon of its own to choke out someone like a Garrote wire~!
AAhhh!!! a new video!!! just in time for my breakfast watching!!! EDIT: OK I just finished it xD Really amazing work! I felt that part when you were removing the cape the first time, aaahhh been there 😭 As per the rest of the sculpt issues, I would have used that epoxy to fix the first time I saw cracks if I wasn't going to put it in the oven again, but I'm just talking outta my ass right now cuz I don't sculpt and have no clue what artists prefer to use 😅 As per the mold, did you think of maybe using silicone putty instead? I use that sometimes to make small molds and it works great, less hassle and it sets in just 15 minutes. Looking forward to your next video!!
Hey! Tip from someone who paints Mini's: You can shade black. You just, kinda have to fudge it. Make the black brighter than your intended final shadow, and add color into it. The Shadows will then add additional contrast to your sculpture's primary colors; whilst also being more visually interesting!
Additionally you can buy Brushable Varnish. So you can put different finishes on different surfaces. Like High Gloss Varnish on the eyes! Or a Satin on the cloak.
Your videos are amazing. Thank you. Watching you remove the cloak gave me so much anxiety. 😂 I love sculpting and pottery! You're videos are clean, entertaining, and easy to understand. Love it. 🥰
such beautiful art, and I appreciate the thorough commentary a lot! Cant afford this month, but bookmarking the patreon for future. Been wanting to try making an anatomical sculpture for ages. Thanks!
Art Chong Art ! Could you pls make a Medusa sculpture ? Like the one in the clash of the titans remake ? It would be out of this world with your level of detail and painting skills !!!
ok. ok. Humanizing the HK characters has quickly became something that I did not know I needed. I would love if you did this to more of the HK characters! Maybe the Pale King, or Quirrel!
I am surprised you didn’t give the warrior assassin “Daughter of Hallownest” a mask. Th choice to give Hornet a visible nose and mouth was interesting to watch
I think I speak for everyone when I say: We would love a series of human Hollow Knight sculptures
Pure vessel look insanely handsome in human version. Bro is truly a prince of hallownest
Yes!
You thought wrong nerd
I want to see Marissa and the Three Mantis Lords.
@@drshin9893 You're a nerd if you're here so, that attempt insult holds no wait, lmao.
i need to see the little knight as realistic sculpture
Love the mention of North of the Border! Rocks do make very good rocky texture!
YESSSSSSS
One thing that might add a touch more realism is a clear UV resin for the eyes, and maybe the lips; it gives it a wet look that most paints lack, and sets up quickly. I learned of this trick from watching others, like Catmeleon (?) here on CZcams, that also creates figures. Your grasp of Anatomy is AMAZING! I will definitely be checking out more of your videos!
I love Catmeleon!
Also give the feet just a touch more thickness through the center/ arch. I watched this sculpture and then I looked at my own foot and my husband's, and I thought... just a bit of instep!
Sculpture suggestion: The Radiance, I would love to see your take on it
her human version?
absolutely AWESOME!
I watched a ton of North of the Border videos and I have no idea how come youtube recommend me your channel so late. glad it eventually did though
very talented work, love it!
Awesome job!
Also, for metallics like a sword does best with a high gloss black base before the metallic. Since metallics are mostly transparent you get the metallic shine and more realistic look.
I feel like this version of Hornet brings her that much closer to the Dark Souls universe. Great work my friend!
So happy you made another Hollow Knight sculpture!! Looks incredible! I'm always amazed by your knack for anatomy :)
Edit: Also love the addition of the shells!
6:59 yep... I bet this man has seen things from the fandom HAHAHAHA
I cant express how happy i am that my favourite sculpting channel is making another video on my favourite game
As an amateur sculptor myself I just wanted to say that you are a big inspiration to me. Keep up the good work, love the human-hornet concept by the way.
You always say 'in the interest of not making this longer' but like, I'm so here for the longer. I can't wait to join your Patreon!
As an avid North of the Border watcher, I internally screamed "rocky texture!" when you started working on the base.
I love listening to you describe your thought process and how you address the various problems and challenges that come up.
i really love the circling around an enemy pose. Good job very inspiring!
I'm already waiting for a series with him playing most of the hollow knight characters!😊
Looks pretty freaking awesome to me.
amazing work man
btw,i cant thank you enough for giving me the inspiration to make a bloodborne sculpture myself,because although its not at all perfect,its good enough and the process tought me so many things about the clay i use.Cant thank you enough
Love your enthusiasm. You are an awesome creative artist and teacher.
Wish I could study with you but I am 96 years old and disabled with little talent.
This sculpture remembered me about Malenia... Imagine mixing the hornet on that!
I love this! Her character design would be great for a character from the Locked Tomb series too.
random youtube recommendations have been great lately. This sculpture looks so good
I always find amazing on how by explaining your process while showcasing your process makes me feel calm and enjoy every second of it.
Love your art, and the fact that you're real while doing so.
Keep it up and thank you for sharing. It's inspiring (:

I really love seeing the rough anatomy stage in your videos.
Awesome!
The lore you thought of goes hard, but I'd keep the fact that Hornet was trained by Vespa instead of Herra. If Herra's a tyrant queen, she can have Veapa train Hornet while she's busy with ruling. This would create conflict for Hornet in the long run because eventually she'll realize that Vespa was her mother figure this entire time.
this sculpt is wonderful. absolutely amazing. i love it. thank you so much for sharing those process videos. what a king
Another banger sculpture! can't wait for Silksong as well
The cloths gives me a dishonored vibe and I really enjoy this. Thankyou for sharing it and the whole process with us!
Knowledge that comes at a cost, even if that cost was just the act of writing it down, is always retained more deeply
I just wanted to let you know that I love your channel! The sculptures are incredible, the painting is great, the editing is really good, and the voiceovers are helpful and enjoyable. I have only been watching for a few months, but you have become one of, if not my favorite sculpting channel on CZcams. Keep up the awesome work :)
Absolutely flabberghasting talent. INCREDIBLE work, INCREDIBLE craftmanship

"im going to make the face softer" proceeds to yet again make the exact same chiseled model face....
That was fucking incredible
Amazing work as always, Art. Keep up the good work!
please, for the love of god, make more human hollow knight sculptures. everything from the character design to the touches of worldbuilding for this human au to of course the ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL sculptural work is itching my hollow knight fan cortex so perfectly.
Her clothes underneath the cloak and all the buttons reminded me alot of Vergil from DMC5 haha! She came out incredible!
It got gajinka’d!
This incredible figure deserved a bigger base. But his work is incredible, congratulations!
Another possible material to use is cosclay. It retains flexibility after curing it in the oven. It could be something to look into, if it sounds like something you'd want to use
kitty litter and wood glue does rock great
I am such a big fan of your work man you are my biggest inspiration by far.
I loved the North the Border callout - It seemed like a crossover episode :D
Thank you for being an isnpiration.
it does look like hornet, but more to the point it feels like hornet.
00:47 The figurine in the background turning around gave me the tingles. Lol
My toxic trait is seeing this and think "yeah i can do that, looks easy enough"
This sculpture is amazing and it's so fun to see how you work around design aspect and implement them in this version whilst still adding your own spins on it and this turned out awesome
Omg finally, my art fix. I love it!!!!!
The pigtails going up because of the motion was a genius idea!! And I love the lore you made along with it! I also love and admire how you are so honest about your mistakes!!

This looks amazing! I'm so glad to see your process on each sculpture.

So glad I found your channel! This stuff is amazing!

i really do love your vids, i hope you keep on doing them !
I'm just sad that I forgot to turn on notifications for your channel and didn't get to see this sooner, looks amazing despite not being the regular HK art style.
What beautiful work!
Impressive!
If you ever decide to expand into another field of artistry I feel like you’d be amazing at voice acting. You have such a relaxed and conversational voiceover style 😊
Awesome work, well done.
The piece came out great.
It’s always sooo cool, that you let us be part of the whole sculpturing journey ❤❤❤❤ and the result is soooo cool 🫶🫶🫶🫶
As always I am enjoying your talent, i love it.

Really excellent build, loved watching this come together. 💯
beautiful.

It looks fantastic ! It reminds me of the fantasy book series Mistborn for some reason
Your videos are amazing. Thank you. Watching you remove the cloak gave me so much anxiety. 😂 I love sculpting and pottery! You're videos are clean, entertaining, and easy to understand. Love it. 🥰
I legit squealed when you mentioned North Of The Border!
Would you be up to make something like Adam's man-spider or man-ant? Would be awesome!
Finally a new video! love your content man 🤟
great to see a new video of yours! keep it up!
Beautiful work. Taking a cartoon and making a realistic human is a challenge but you pulled it off. It's easy to see Hornet in the final piece.
Truly beautiful!
This is Dope!!! I love your work
such beautiful art, and I appreciate the thorough commentary a lot! Cant afford this month, but bookmarking the patreon for future. Been wanting to try making an anatomical sculpture for ages. Thanks!

I was not expecting a North of the Border reference
Not enough slamming the real rocks into the clay rocks. North of the Border would be disappointed.
i have been waiting for a new video for so long thanks art i love you
I am surprised you didn’t give the warrior assassin “Daughter of Hallownest” a mask. Th choice to give Hornet a visible nose and mouth was interesting to watch
Bro, you're a legend! I really enjoy your videos.
