Okay, let's clear up some things here. 1. K Rool originally had a tail, but in his latest iterations he's not got a tail. Besides, a lack of a tail lets you admire his impressive glutes all the more. 2. Donkey Kong only has 4 toes because... I... I don't know. For some reason I was fully convinced that he always had 4 toes and no amount of "fact" is going to change my mind. 3. I don't have a third point, but only listing two things felt lazy.

Can we all take a moment to thank North for being more than committed to the dump-truck aspects of these majestic characters. Thank you for another wonderful video! ❤😂❤
DK's face is absolutely priceless! Though I can't unsee the fact that the big man is missing a toe on each of his feet, or I guess it'd be better to say missing a finger on each of his leg hands lol
Always love seeing new tiny nerdy things! Speaking of, when Pikmin 4 releases later this year, you should totally do an episode based on it. After all, they're already tiny nerdy things. Olimar himself only stands at the height of an American quarter after all.

I often use your mantra of 'its good enough' when painting. Its incredibly freeing not stressing about tiny details
An amazing work of art Adam. You definitely made DK an K rool look like they jumped out of the videogame.
I can just imagine DK breaking the barrel over K. Rool's head and it doing absolutely nothing except knock over his crown.
Saw this in my suggestions feed. Throwing a like for the hard work, patience, and creativity. I wouldn’t be able to do this even with a magic lamp.
it's honestly so cool to see how you've improved over the years
This is one of my favorites! It turned out so well. And it IS aluminium.

For doing the fur, you could either make a fur roller like you have for scales, or try using a piece of scrunched up aluminum to scratch the surface in one direction.
For the fur, how about a texture roller? Like the one you made which invokes trypophobia. I think it will make your job way easier.

K Rool looks so good! I love him 😆❤️
Amazing work! Loved seeing your process step-by-step, such beautiful craftsmanship
This in one of my favorite builds you've ever done. I really like how you made it modular.
You should make "trust the process" themed merch. I think it would go perfectly with the lines you already have for your merch.
Not so tiny nerdy things is the best thing I've heard in a while. Made me ridiculously happy to hear that.
These turned out amazing. I love that you did both characters in the same video and had the poses work together. What a cool piece for a DK fan to put on a shelf!
"Save my progress" such a gamer term 😂 Great sculpting!

This might be one of my favourite sculptures yet I love the K Rool way too much
Not only your videos are very entertaining to watch, afterwards just putting them on repeat and listening your soothing voice and witty jokes calms my paralysis demons. Good job and thank you for the content!
I know you mainly do character focused art but I would love to see you try your hand at a simpler model with a focus on the base/environment to get a little out of your comfort zone! Also, super impressed that you managed to whip out two fairly large minded in one video 😮. They came out great!
This looks so great! Nice work, Adam! Also, do you think you can make the Lich King from WoW soon?
I think Donkey Kong’s head in this video would make a really fun eraser.
Rarware when making DK country: "I am Dk the first and this crumby game stars my grandson. Me and Mario's father were heated rivals back in my day, so I doubt DK the third can live up to my legacy!" Nintendo: "mmmmm.... No. Our characters actually can't age" In all seriousness though I love these sculptures! They're extremely cool and I love your work!
I'm glad you've accepted our oddities 😂
I enjoy watching your channel Adam... Your commentary is spot on... I've watched other channels doing pretty much the same as you, but they don't chit chat, and for me that makes their channel boring.... Keep up the great work... Oh, since you did donkey Kong, how about doing DK throwing barrels down the scaffold at Mario
Your modelling is always so incredible to watch from start to finish! I hope you continue the DK series with Diddy Kong and Dixie. Cranky would be awesome in his little shack too, or the Banana Hoard, or when they verse The Baddies. 🍌
Love this! I like to think the glamour shots are the parts that either you’re proud of or annoyed you sm to make
this might be my favorite of yours so far! the expression and pose on DK are just perfect
As a fan of your work and a huge geek for anything DK, this made me so happy! You make me wanna work with polymer clay again too but I get distracted to easily...
I love them!!! Such a fun episode. Thanks Adam! I don't even feel terrified!!
I wanna see what the room he keeps his art in looks like!
This is definitely one of my favorites that you've done, and I'm not even a DK fan. The poses and presentation are fantastic. I'm still waiting for a tiny nerdy Metroid thing, though ;)
Hi, I am a sculptor myself and to answer your question about fur what I fine is easier ,is to scrape a wire brush on the surface of the clay lightly but if you want thicker fur go over it twice. Just a little suggestion that might help you out in the future. PS I love your videos so much.😊
Your sculptures always suprise me... Being good at sculpting is one thing, but being able to exactly recreate a specific character takes real talent and skills
Adam’s uploads don’t just keep my mental health good, they keep it good enough.
great details - I really love the non-static grass fur - so much more texture and personality
Up until now, I loved watching your sculpting vids. And I still do, your sense of humor is great... The thing is I recently started getting into 3D printing with UV resin and have been learning of the dangers of that stuff, and I've noticed you aren't wearing gloves when you work with it. I'm not sure if your resin is as dangerous as the stuff used in 3D printing, or if it's because of the amount of it that is used in printing that makes it dangerous, but in case you weren't aware then please be careful. Keep up the amazing work bud.
honestly i think these might be some of my favorite sculptures you've made so far especially dk
This is amazing, I think that having a similar duel between sephiroth and cloud would be cool
I absolutely love Kongs face u did an AMAZING job especially for never doing it be for! Looks like the a 3d render from some online stuff👏🏻 👏🏻
My fellow Adam, you say Aluminium the correct way and I applaud you for it. Once people get past our borders they start to realize there are two "i's" in the spelling. Carry on good chap!
I admire your sense of detail and how absolutely real everything looks in die end! The absolute dream of every nerd to have these perfect little figurines. BTW I love your monsters the most. Terrifying, but I love them XDDD I always giggle while watching the videos :3
WOW THIS IS GREAT! I mean… I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m sure it’s fantastic!

Adam, regarding your comment at 6:27 about if sculpting fur would make for great content, I sure as hell can tell you that it makes for excellent content. I’m that type of person that enjoys watching carpet cleaning videos, ear wax extraction videos and painting restoration videos as a way to relax after a long day. There is something just very satisfying about watching highly-skilled individuals engaging in very detailed work. If you have a second KZread channel, I know myself and many others would enjoy watching you sculpt all of that fur while some nice, chill music plays.
Your humor just tickles my giggle spots and I enjoy and really need those snorts of laughter. So thanks! Also, I realized that I needed more merch and there you $100 on your merch instead of bills. Now that is being an adult, right?
dude I am so happy that I found this channel, this is so amazing I love how great your little structures (statues?) are
Great video! And great idea! Your videos don't seize to be of great quality. Thank you for your hard work! I'd love to see a Mario Kart themed diorama with your favorite characters.

Have you thought of something from Tears of the Kingdom since we were graced with a new trailer?
