How to Sculpt VENOM from Polymer Clay / Marvel Comic Book Style
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I'm on a super hero binge. Super villain? Or Anti-hero? I dunno, but today I made a comic book version of Venom. Let me know what you think and if you like it what other comic book characters do you think would be cool?

I'm sure they'll come together eventually (Sony still owns both IPs) but I'd assume the contract with Marvel Studios doesn't allow it while Spideys in the MCU. If things pan out, doing Venom as part of the "Multiverse" with an entirely different Spidey would be cool too.

As always. Solid work. Literally, those buns be solid. Enjoy the range of topics you create from. Love that you showed your struggles. I'm an art teacher and your videos are great examples of working through it.
This is 💥AWESOME💥!!! The amount of detail is just a lot. Thanks for inspiring me to make clay figures.
How to make Carnage: - make this model skinnier - oh, and make it red too Done!
Very awesome sculpt, was going to recommend venom. i would love to see sculpts from the game moonlighter(reminds me of Zelda and the Minish cap on gameboy)
Venom is easily my favorite marvel character and you did such an amazing job with this sculpture! The blue dry brush on the sculpture hit me with a huge style of nostalgia (i miss the old school comic venom design)
I've just discovered your website and I can't get enough of it. I love watching how you create your sculptures and I'm very impressed. Please continue to bring me more creations and I appreciate your talents. Love the humor and don't stop. Thanks again.

The end result is 💥INSANE💥!!! You can tell just how much work went into this. An immediate like from me!
This piece is absolutely amazing👌🏼
Brings a new meaning to ‘not skipping leg day.’ Awesome work as always.
I really like this one, venom was always a favorite of mine. Another villain that could be awesome would be Green Goblin!
You did a hell of a job on this. I love it!!
Venom turned out awesome in the end!!!!
Love that you are so honest about successes and failures!
I LOVE the end product and I love that you're keepin' it real with your process! I've "finished" far too many projects in the past and hated the results, but haven't had the guts to trash any of it and start again. It's taken me a decade to do it, lol.
From DC to Marvel… They are all cool!!! Still would love to see you make Harley Quinn, though!!! 🃏
I really appreciate you showing us when things go wrong, not just right. It's good to see the end result! Also Carnage would be an awesome one, with all the creepy red tendrils and stuff coming off! :D
Dude you got to do a 'Borrowers' diorama and put it in a wall somewhere in your house for someone to find years later. That would be so cool!
Absolutely awesome! I love venom and you made it so realistic!
Was fun watching 👀... nice insights, thanks for sharing 🙏
That little burn on Carrot Top was outstanding ! !
"If you loose your legs, you can't walk. But if you loose your arm's, you can" I laughed way too hard and way too long at that. In fact I'm still sniggering now writing this 😂😂😂
This came out great as well bud. I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I always look forward to watching you make tiny nerdy things. And because of you I bought some clay, wires, paint, brushes and an airbrush kit lol. I've done as much as open it, look at it and put it back in the box lmao. Idk where to start or what to make. But soon I will make something, thanks again for making this look like so much fun.
I always clear my schedule for these videos because I know they are gonna be worth it
Love it, looks great!
Wow this looks so cool !
We Are Venom...
i always love the wormie dealies in all the sculptures
It turned out so good! The time spent really paid off, but don't be too hard to yourself!
All your work is so enjoyable to watch
It would be amazing to see you sculpt the villainously villain of them all - Dr Bong!
Sculpting is super hard when modeling people since we all know what looks right/wrong. Venom looks AWESOME though! Especially those teeth!
this turned out awesome!
Venom running over to give Adam a big ol bear hug for working so hard on him and not giving up.
Super cool! I've never actually seen venom but it looks fabulous
The cool thing about comic book characters like Venom is that they've been drawn so many times by so many people that you have a lot of play with how you want it
An iron man with his hand and chest actually glowing would be real cool!
My Symbiote and I: "AAAAAAH!!!!" 😳😱🖤
One of the most satisfying videos I've seen in a long time. Awesome channel! Inspiring. That stuff is really hard work.
Venom Turned out great, am glad you went with the slight blue tinge to him As we're on Spider-man how about doing Morbius (The living Vampire).. would fit right in with Venom
Watching this right before I go on THE date and get down on one knee. You’re great at calming nerves
You are much better than clay claim!

Ah Venom .. one of my favourites! I also love the fact that you keep in the fact that you don't always gets things the way you want on the first try. Let's those of us starting out know that doesn't matter how good you are at something, sometimes things will go awry and you just keep on trying. By the way, if you ever feel like making some evil plant life, I would LOVE to see you make an Audrey II from Rick Moranis' Little Shop of Horrors. Not that I would use that as a guide to try and make my own at all..... *innocent whistles* :D have a great week!
