Being ancient and growing up in Maine, he reminds me of the voice of a certain local guy whose writing scared the hell out of millions, with the most pleasant conversational tone. Very cool.
He is the neighbours who invites you over and all the creepy stuff in his house make you think he's one of the stereotypical serial killers who decorate their boss in terrifying things.
It's like he's the sculpting version of Bob Ross, but he's working through some trauma "it's okay that the demon's tongue cracked, we can lean into it and make it a forked lizard-like tongue, remember, we don't make mistakes we just have happy little accidents."
With how shiny Mike's eye is, it looks like he's crying/about to cry. Like he knows what he's done and regrets it. Adds to the creepy aspect. I like it.
Or leave it the shade it is and you have Namek grass for a Dragon Ball Z build. It would be interesting to find out if you could find a way to stiffen it and spray a coat of uv resin on it, maybe buy doing that at the same time that you brush it with a disposable comb you could get some interesting textures, that's my hypothesis but I wouldn't know without trying
Fittingly enough, these two do look mildly symbiotic. Sulley provides a shelter that no one wants to mess with, and Mike keeps things clean by eating the leftovers and alerting Sulley to anything of interest.
God, I love these. The relaxing music, the soothing voice, the seemless transitions and editing, and the quality of the sculptures themselves! All top tier content that I'm currently addicted to
With the blue fur, you could make a Sulley "bear rug" to lay in front of the fireplace, or hang a Sulley pelt on the wall as a trophy. Thanks for sharing your work. Always makes my day!
The "Kill me now" scene had me laughing out loud. I hate that faux fur material and recommend you use it as a ritual sacrifice to the crafting gods. ...or you could make it into a Furby. I know they are already pretty terrifying, but I feel like there's potential there for something truly traumatizing.
Imagine if Pixar made Mike and Sulley from "Monsters, Inc." like this but kept their original personalities completely intact. They would be so intimidating like they're supposed to be.
The chapter names add so much to these videos, not only are you going out of your way to make them(already better than most)you’re giving them creative names like “Vlad Approved Content” when you’re stabbing Mike on some spikes, you’re great!
I honestly can imagine that being the way they appear from the perspective of the kids they've scared, before the change of tactics in how they get energy at the end of Monsters Inc.
As a plush artist, there’s always that one fabric that you can’t tell what it really is, overbuy, and then find out it’s impossible to work with. I just toss them to my cats lol Awesome vid as always!
I once gave a 12 yard bolt of faux fur i accidentally bought (i ordered faux leather, they didnt have it, so they decided faux fur was a suitable replacement?) to a family of squirrels. Stuff was not only not what i needed, but impossible to work, and so low quality, that the 'fur' kept falling out in clumps just from being handled.
I don't make plushes, but I like getting cheap/ugly stuffed animals to make horrible abominations as a mockery of God. I accidentally bought too much fake fur once so the stuffed animals are safe for now
@@darkninjafirefox I do the same thing, but with houseplants, and random crap i pick up at yard sales and flea markets... once made a flamethrower from a weedtrimmer, a leaf blower, and a broken welding torch...it..worked...for like 2 seconds...then blew up... I was like...12...
I'd like to see a Mike with more focus on his eye being the scariest aspect instead of his teeth. His eye is a defining characteristic of his character after all. Maybe seeing an eye on him that makes you feel like you're in an infinite void. Black, glossy, empty. I think a more passive scariness instead of an aggressive scariness fits his character personality better too.
I like the idea! It sort of enforces the idea of the work dynamic between the two. Sully is the Hunter/Aggressive type while Mike is the Supporter/Passive one.
Late to the party but just wanted to recommend yarn wefts for an easier fur look next time! There are several doll customizer creators that have excellent tutorials on how to make them, I think it'd give you a lot more control over the process in future projects. Amazing art as always my guy :)
These look awesome! Helpful tip for fur tufts: Get some Acrylic Yarn and two types of Pet Brushes, one coarse and one fine. Tight a few yarns to a skewer and brush them out, coarse then fine. Once they are nice and FLUHHFHEEEEE, take some Mod Podge and spread a line over a plastic or glass surface. Cut off the tufts, lay the edges over the mod Podge and coat the ends in mod Podge and let dry. This will give you more manageable fur tufts and hair in general 👍🏻
Would be really interesting to see a realistic version of Monster Inc with these terrifying creatures taking care of a little girl and developing a friendship.
This was so satisfying to watch and I did not expect to laugh. Got to 11:03 and had to pause it because I was *braying.* Faux fur is the worst and "devils grass" should be what the craft store calls it. That said, you made Sully so freakin BEAUTIFUL!!! #WorthThePain
I just wanted to say thank you, Adam. My wife and I couldn't decide between a Star Wars theme or a Monsters INC. theme nursery for the new baby. I showed her your video and now we're going with a Star Wars theme.
Oh! My heart went out to you when the faux Sulley fur came out, because I've used the same materials in my projects and it's difficult to work with! You did such an amazing job with it though, and I can't get over how perfect the color match is! These are always so great, and I would love to see the opposite direction where you make something scary look really cute ^^
I don't know why, but seeing you sculpt this monstrosity (hehe) of Mike Wazowski reminds me of the three forms that Majora had in Majora's Mask. Not sure what your next build plans are, but those would be so cool to see you replicate!!
I believe its the arms/legs and the colouring style of the eye. The legs are thin but muscular and the eye has nice gradients that give a similar effect.
@@SylverScourge for sure! I think Adam could put a real decent spin-off of the original designs used for Majora. That and I'm a Zelda fan so any build in that category piques my interest.
As a fiber arts hobbiest, I get some kinda sick pleasure from others discovering how terrible faux fur fabric is, that stuff has killed my sewing machine more times than I can count
I found the best way when using faux fur is to shave the fur off of the fabric and then manually put the fur on in layers it takes longer and can get messy but the result makes it look natural and realistic. I do this with my art dolls where maintaining possablity is important.
I've been loving these creepy sculptures you've been doing lately! These all look just like how my nightmares make them. Great job! Also, you could make a terrifying realistic Cookie monster with the leftover lifetime supply of blue tinged lung cancer causing synthetic fur :)
Kaypea Creations does amazing art doll work, would highly recommend watching her videos on what to do with the "life time supply of devils grass" These are horrifying in all the right ways! Could really see it turned into a horror movie
Next time for fur, look into making wefts from yarn :) dollightful probably has a tutorial on how to make hair wefts :) it’s still wonderful and amazing though, great job!
Ideas on what to do with extra fur: Realistic Teletubbies? Though since that fur is a bit too light, maybe just do something involving a furby? Idk, but I thought it might be a good idea to put my two cents in
I once saw on How It's Made, they were making artificial eyes. They used whisps of read thread for the veins and then they added several layers of clear coat Food for thought.. 😏
I feel like North of the Border is pretty much a real life meatcanyon (the sculpts, while completely and utterly terrifying, are still really amazing and highly detailed!!!)
Adams creatures (or remakes of classic characters) terrify me. But I love it. It’s always so fascinating. And hilarious! If you haven’t already, could you make the Scottish tale: The Nessie or the Kelpie? It would really mean a lot to me. But you don’t have to make it! Just a suggestion. Have a nice day/night Adam! ❤
Wow the fur looks really good in the end. You could totally swap out the commentary and make it sound like you knew exactly what you were doing all along. Once the beard trimmer came out, it already felt like a professional craftsman's business-as-usual
i cant believe Sulley ended up looking this good ! when i first saw the pre-trimed "thing" that he was i felt like you were just about to redo him all over again
See watching the evolution of Adam’s channel is great. From book nooks, then dioramas, and now straight nightmare fuel. Tiny nerdy things is just a large statement I guess.
I love how Mike looks like he’s about to cry, he knows what hes done he was overcome by hunger and instinct, he hates what he’s become, but he is to far gone
Fantastic transformation! empathy from a knitter for fluff up the nose. Ideas for fur include monster hunter armor and inserting it unexpected places until you’ve got rid of it as a gag.
Maybe with the extra fur, you could make a horrifying fursuiter that is actually an eldritch being oozing out of the fursuit. Not sure exactly how you'd sculpt that but I think it'd fit right in with your lineup!
i swear there's an SCP story about that lmao, it's like a being bound to a fursuit but because it's just an empty suit it can't move so it needs to trick someone into wearing it
@Yoda _ an eldritch being is usually referring to a supernatural creature that feels uncanny or weird. Classic examples are like goblins or elves, but it can be used to describe anything of that nature!
I want to call everyone's attention back to the absolute absurdity of the beginning of the glamour shots, where this amazingly bizarre music with way too much guitar and reverb plays as the camera pans over a pair of blood-covered green goblin appendages.
It would be really interesting to see a realistic version of this movie with these terrifying creatures taking care of a little girl and developing a friendship
Another cool way to add fur without dealing with the mess that is artificial fur fabric is yarn. Try using a pet brush to comb the yarn into fur stands. I recommend watching some doll customizing videos for this technique, they mostly use this idea for hair.
You probably could have added a gritty grown up version of the little girl Boo confronting Mike and Sully, like an epic stand off. I think it'd be a hilarious. Story telling that Pixar probably wouldn't appreciate. Great intro by the way, sculptures are amazing as always.
I always wounder what you end up doing with the finished model. I assume you display them and if so I think it would be a cool video to see all the past projects.
With the textures, Mike looks like a Lime from behind lmao. A very evil lime hahaha. Although the fur came out alright, I knew it was going to be a pain. I watched this woman use it and she did the process you talked about at first and she made it look so easy. I'm guessing you watched the same video lolol 😆 😂 🤣 It came out great tho bud. Love your videos.
I can't believe you actually managed to make that fur work in the end. I bought the exact same thing in bright green for a project and I still have nightmares about it. 😅
At 8:16 mike is giving “Ahhhh! I have an eyelash in my eye and it won’t come out!” It’s the backstory for why he became so evil and I can’t argue, eyelashes hurt
When you said you had a plan for the fur, my guess was that you were going to use static grass and then airbrush it, but I'm not sure that's durable enough to withstand the air pressure from the airbrush. 🤔
You're actually making me think about picking up a new art form, or a hobby, for the first time in my life. Something that is not only fun, but could serve as decorations for years to come. Subscribed.
It's crazy to think how it took you 1 - 2 minutes (not exactly but close) for you to make an almost perfectly accurate replica of the Cacodemon from Doom! Off topic I know, but that is mighty impressive!
