Now you should try something from Norse mythology or more greek mythology
I would love to see more characters from mythology (Greek or otherwise)! Hades isn't actually supposed to be "evil", at least no more than any other god. That was something Disney went with, to avoid Hera being the antagonist, and having to explain how Zeus can't keep it in his pants! Nonetheless, this is a great sculpture!

Even though he wasn’t any more evil than any other greek gods (he just kidnapped his niece and tricked her into binding herself to the underworld and be his queen) people in ancient Greece were afraid of him so making him scary isn’t completely off although this version is more in line with the Medieval European depictions of Death.
@Mirilah

@@willowweedsYT it's true, he was feared, but so were the other gods. And the incident with Persephone is why I phrased it the way I did :) Because that was his big show of being a jerk (to varying degrees, depending on which version we're talking about). On the other hand, Zeus kinda did that a LOT, and was still praised as the king of the gods. So... *shrug* But, I agree, this has more of a Xtian depiction of Death, or the Devil, to it. Still, a gorgeous sculpture!

Yeah, when he said "evil" I actually said "but he's not evil" out loud. He was a flawed God as was most gods from Greek Mythology. I love watching Overly Sarcastic Productions for really well represented stories from Greek, Roman and other mythology.

Am I the only one who thinks it was like he switched styles halfway through? A super realistic torso with cartoon hands and face... It's a weird one. That body is beautiful though, I just wish the whole character had that level of realism!

@@mr.midnight1349 true, but how many people actually know about him? It's not one of the first thought of characters of the Greek underworld. If that was the case... We would need to ask for his sisters The Keres. As he was the peaceful aspects of death and his sisters, the violent side. That's why I didn't add him. However Ace of Clay did make a grim Reaper. Maybe he could be used as a thanatos.
Awesome work!👏🏼👏🏼 buuut... The Head/skull just looks a bit off to me🧐🤔 It’s more rounded , when it would look more "right" for the character if you’d make it more elongated and slightly more narrow and "sharp" somehow? Great work as usual tho! Much love from Oslo, Norway

He literally said "HIS VERSION OF HADES".
I'm not fond of the neck and face but the body is awesome!
It’s fantastic! The staff and cape were my favorite part, it’s superrrr satisfying seeing the metallic paint go on 😲
Nice take on the Lord of Holy Heck! He looks like he would be at home in the MtG Theros setting!
Would love to see more myth based sculpts. Also you could do a series based on the zodiac but in your style of course!
Dude, this is freakin awesome!!! Hades needed a sword/staff of caliber to his evil needs and you nailed it.
YES! This is the kind of sculpts that I enjoy watching you create! Nice work!
Oh thank you for the waist adornments, the wrinkles of his lower half ended up with a fold looking like he had a male anatomy hanging clear to the floor. His armor is awesome and he turns out great. You do such a great job on everything!
Great! Enjoyed the process of doing the folds on the cape and the human torso was very realistic. Nice take on Hades- can’t wait for your next creation!
OH MAN I Seriously I THINK This IS AWARD WINNING!!! The BEST OF THE BEST!!! I have watched ALL your Videos And THIS ONE IS THE ONE that BLEW All the other ones OUT of the Water! You Make This Look SOOOOO EASY!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS ONE, HADES IS The BOMB!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THE BEST SCULPTURE EVER !!!
Ooh do Hecate, goddess of magic, next!!! Or! The Horned King from The Black Cauldron!!! That dude scared the crap out of me as a kid!!!
Who knew Hades had a six pack. I love him. Missed you last week, glad you’re back!
Now you need to sculpt Hellboy. I can't get enough of your sculpting, you're work is great.
Would love to see a Greek Pantheon series, your interpretation is really cool.
Kinda wish he talked about some of hades mythology kinda like how he read the backstory for the creepypastas
That's freakin wicked! Hades is my favorite Greek God
The detail on him is incredible, he looks SO good 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Holy hell he turned out cool! Totally worth the week wait! He is one of my favorites you've done this year! You killed it, Anthony!

Amazing. You just keep getting better and better. Love to see more mythological figures.
seeing that clay being peeled away is good to watch as it's relaxing on the eyes, but dude HADES is awesome. Also, would love to see what your take on Hercules would be like
Hades lookin pretty good! I like how yours has some different elements for hades, like the muscles. Its cool to see something fresh in designs.
Love this realism. You do the best folds 😀
The metallic paints are absolutely incredible on this sculpture! I love all his little adornments and details. Would love to see Persephone next, maybe with some mix of armor like Hades and flowers?

Evil, Hades is not. The fact that he does not often get up here much tells us that he does not want to cause problems with living mortal lives, stereotypical villains usually do. Other than that, Hades is my favorite God - coming short from a Norse God - and I think you've made a wonderful sculpture of him.

Next you should do the Headless horseman or a kelpie.

Your talent is amazing, but your patients absolutely blows me away! Is that something you were born with?
Hades turned out great! ☠ Please do Cthulhu (or someone of the other Gods from H.P. Lovecrafts mythos) next 🙏🙏🙏💚
watching you work always makes me want to sculpt myself. I do admit being kinda disappointed that you went with the 'evil' route considering that Hades is pretty much one of the more decent Greek gods/goddesses out there. I love the realistic torso and the weapon!
He is by far my favourite!!!
Amazing as always!
I would love to see a female centaur! I think it would be really cool ^^
He is simply awesome!

By far my favorite sculpt of yours! Keep up the amazing work man!

Good gracious. I absolutely adore this 😌 Hades is my favorite out of all.
a series of sculpting a bunch of different Greek gods and pets for them would be sick
Incredible job!!!
WOW the sculpture was amazing and I rlly want to try to make that one day
Really unique and cool version of Hades! I’d love to see your version of Persephone...particularly with the 1/2 dead, 1/2 alive theme like Hades.
So sweet! Definitely going to be one of my fav sculpts! Also, I challenge you to do some sculpting with other materials other than clay. I’d love to see you work with fondant! I learned it was a lot harder to work with. Do you accept the challenge? I think it would make an interesting compilation. “Sculpting with other mediums” or something.
I love his colors and how realistic he is its so cool
Could we just take the time to appreciate the amount of time he must spend putting all the tools he used in the description?
Dude, you NAILED that torso!
I love the metalic paints you use!They've been so usefull when I'm making weaponry or armour or vehicles out of Polymer clay !
That’s my favorite one you made, awesome job!!!
Wow just amazing ❤️❤️
Amazing work!!
Dude, you surprise me every single time. It even makes me want to try sculpting. I loved the details!!! I, too, would love it if you decide to add more Greek Gods to your projects. But I'm always excited to see your next project.
Great paint job !!!!!
