Neytiri Sculpture Timelapse - Avatar, The Way of Water 

Hey, thank you for saying so. Really appreciate comments like this, knowing some of you have been around so long and continue to watch the creations come to life. Tell me, if I were to "mix it up", i.e. make more videos, on here or my second channel, what sorts of content would you think would be suitable? I've been thinking a long while of what to do to generate more interest and put up more vids without getting sidetracked with them and not sculpting. I can't sculpt fast enough to put vids up and reclaim the algorithm - think I've given up on that tbh, but I would like to do something else. I can't get polemical/political without risk of polarizing the audience and getting "cancelled", so I would guess something related to art or cinema? I guess I'm just asking "what would you like to hear me talk about/present"? And I can't do tutorials - teaching secrets unpaid is a not so savoury idea. I did 2 tutorials on the 2nd channel that accrued a few tens of thousands of views, so like 30,000 people learned something from me and I got 30$ for it... not a good trade (it's 1$ per thousand views, typically). Thoughts?

Like you said at the end of the video why don’t you make smaller sculpts (like 6 inches tall) and try get more videos out on a schedule sort of thing. Btw love your work.

That's excellent! If you ever need any tips or info, send me an email and I'll try to help! Have fun!

@@LoreCraft sorry I'm late to respond lol I just noticed that you responded

Carly! So nice to hear from you! Thank you for reaching out. I don't stream anymore, so few opportunities to interact live, but feel free to reach out anytime or pm me direct on my insta @lorecraftr

Yes, the cat is cute. And has to check out what you are doing.

Thank you, friend! 😊

Thank you for saying this. Made my evening.

Thank you, Baraka

thank you so much for watching her be created. You can see the difference in viewcounts on her vs some of my older work. Made me wonder if I did a terrible job. But thank you, it means the world. It's a feast or famine profession, and when it's famine, the kind words go a long, long way to keep me working. Thanks again

Got a look at your androids! Great work! Great idea! You should fire me an email sometime! Your edits are fandamntastic!

@@LoreCraft oh thank you so much. I put a lot of effort in my videos and all is done practical. So I really appreciate that coming from you.

@@freakyDeek send me an email when you get a chance 🤘

@@LoreCraft I will when I’m back from my current assignment. 🙏

Heya Oscar, Not sure if this means I'm back back, like posting every week, but I'll try. These take months to get together sometimes. I've actually made a few things but they were contracts for theme parks and a film and didn't make sense to film and timelapse... hoping to do more here, but money dictates most things, sadly. Will try!

Thank you, friend. Every bit helps. Really appreciate it.

Thank you, friend, and welcome aboard!

@@LoreCraft welcome 😊😊😊 please visit my work too

Just went and checked that out and you're right, that is a great design. These days I need sculpts of that level to be funded to be able to them. Month of work that, materials, and bills to paid... so if you know anyone that would want to commission it, I'd be thrilled to give it a shot.

Спасибо! Пожалуйста, поделитесь им!

Orlok, Black Lagoon, and AWIL are on the list someday... we shall see!

Hey, thank you so much for saying hello and your kind words, friend! Glad folks like you are still around

@@LoreCraft how is the Freddy doing ?

@@ChristianMichaelNeu he sold some years ago now. Don't recall where he ended up. I've been told I should make a new one using all my new skills and materials. He was air dry clay, before I went silicone.

@@LoreCraft oh okay well if you do let me know I want to see a new Freddy video then even better then the 1st uhm 2nd one

I typically pass when there's a couple factors to consider when approaching a sculpt. 1, can I add anything to it? As much as I love the Terminator franchise (1 and 2), its popularity has ensured that there's been a plethora of fine artists and craftsmen that've produced multiple renditions, sizes, models for public consumption; so I'd need to feel like I'd be able to bring something unique or just "better" in some way. I don't feel like I'd really be able to do that, not without taking on the risk of a different design, and then it would cease being "the terminator". One I saw that really blew me away was a hyper-real silicone Terminator someone made of Lance Henriksen (try to search for that, it's amazing). Aside from something like that, I don't think I can bring something new like that to the franchise (I immediately thought of a Ripley Terminator - that would be remarkable!). 2. I shy away from geometric sculpts. Those types of sculpts, like any robots, armour, and some insectoids, require a lot of perfect lines and symmetry, and I do everything in clay by hand, so I prefer organic characters. If I ever decide to get off my arse and learn ZBrush, then I will probably revisit some of these, aye. Hope this response is adequate, and thank you for the interest, good fellow!

Aw, thank you. Yes, Lord Pippington appears here in the video too 😊

My friend! You're right! Tryin' to keep it alive :) Thanks for your kind words.

Hey, thank you. I would... could.... silicone is very difficult to paint if it's cured for too long, so I typically don't. If you know how to paint silicone and you're confident, I'd be willing to, sure.

Friend, I'd love to... but she took hundreds of £ just in materials costs and over a month to put together... if someone, or a group, can help fund the creation or direct commission me, I'd happily do it. Really do appreciate you guys and that you like the work, but not many people know, I have difficulty even paying the electricity bill sometimes and I make these in my living room. If I were flush with cash I'd be all about these ideas and already making the whole clan. Love the character design of the Na'vi. Brilliant concept artistry. Wish I could do more. Share the work, and if you know anyone that may want to buy a copy of her, it would certainly help. Thanks again and best to you

She's amazing. My favourite retrowave song to date. Honored she let me use it here.

Gosh, I had to look up what you meant there, lol. Thank heavens that's easy to fix 😆. If it's just the location I hair punch in the braid, I can definitely adjust that np. Thanks for the honest feedback.

Heya, Would love to. I work out of my flat in my living room, and making these is hugely expensive. If the video picks up and there's enough demand for it, I'd make the whole Clan. Feel free to share it around! And thanks for the encouragement 🤗

hey there, thank you for asking. I've been meaning to make a course series on my website for some time, but just haven't been able to do all the edits and get enough footage. Sometime in the future I will have them ready. Until then, you can sign up at my website and I'll do an announcement here, and elsewhere, when the course is ready.

Most of the songs I use are copyright protected. I only get to use them by approaching the original artists and asking them for permission, to which they have to agree and often have to confirm it with their record labels

@@LoreCraft 🤯 How can I do this 😖 I think yours have a fast beat, Legacy of kain Raziel

@ko-bk2uz I credit everyone in my descriptions. Just have to try to find a way to contact them. It isn't always easy, and I advise only to even try it if you have a project or video idea they'd be impressed with or may want to be a part of. Otherwise they're not too happy as they often get lots of requests and are often exhausted from answering emails. Just advising

Hmm? Found an error? Send me an email with the details so I can go fix it. Appreciate that.

Sadly, I'm not really able to create primarily for fun anymore... the project costs are so high now that I need to be certain the project is funded, I.e. it's a commission or people will definitely buy the sculptures. Laughing Jack has been a request for a while. If I knew there'd be at least 3 buyers, I'd commit to it.

Yep

hey there, here's a link to a short video I do talking about the art direction and some issues with deciding "which Neytiri" to do: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3TZO7YsR_uw.html Let me know what you think!
