TIME FER LEARNIN': Several of the most venomous types of snakes have _solenoglyphous teeth_ which retract into the jaw, and can be flicked out like a switchblade to inject venom into their prey and then retracted while they went for said prey to succumb. I figured a danger noodle that hangs out in a pool waiting for someone to reach out and grab it's "hand" would probably rely on something like that for hunting. Hence why you can't see the teefsies. I had meant to talk about that in my commentary, but I got busy making poop jokes, so you got that instead and you get this little bit of learnin' in the comments.
okay that makes more sense I was really confused as to how exactly the gummy snake would eat its victims...
Yo Adam makes a fire video and it's got education?
Yeah I wondered why the fangs were "missing" XD
glad to see your feeling better :D
Thanks for the new info
I know the skull sinking in the sand was just an accident, but I think it looks pretty cool that they aren't all sitting on top.
Exactly it's more realistic
Yup.
it makes it look like the snake has been doing that for a while
@@Shovel________________ yeah
@@9somethingorother837 I do agree
I love the idea that the guy who owns the backyard has to tell any guests he has over to not grab the human hand in the waterhole
'oh hey mom, thanks for checking out the new house, just be careful of the human hand over there.'
@@Brigeb20 ''Why?'' ''Uh..He bites.'' ''Excuse me?'' ''Nothing''
I already imagine someone thinking it’s a guy in need of saving, then grabbing the hand and getting eaten alive.
Tbh considering how many its already eaten im more worried about the guy that owns the yard than i am the snake
IMAGINE HOW HE FOUND OUT NOT TO GRAB IT 💀
I heavily appreciate your sense of humor during these videos! I’m not a sculptor, at least not 98% of the time, but I am a digital artist who owns a baby danger noodle and can confirm, they are made of wormy-deely shapes. The human-hunting idea is so neat, and the way you executed it is super original and epic! I’m binging all your vids now lol
I LOVE DANGER AND BOOP NOODLES ALL OF EM ARE ADORIBLEE
my mom is very afraid of all snakes so I doubt I'll ever have one, but I am a general fan of them. They're just so neat.
2:42 Adam: *Makes something he swears he'll use in the future* Also Adam the second he has the chance to use the roller: *Makes an entirely new one*
i love how Adam makes mistakes and does 'off camera' stuff but still makes it interesting

Yeah bots are dumb and unnecessary :(
Love this one! “Human hands being where human hands should not be” is definitely one of my favorite design features.
That makes me think of a scene in Majora's Mask. And also Studson Studio's recent recreation of a scene in Skyward Sword, which is itself a callback to Majora's Mask.
Are you familiar with the monsters from Kingdom Death?
AYO WHAT THE-
@@LadyArtemis2012 I’m not. Will probably have to give them a look if they’ve got hands where they shouldn’t
@@dustbeans A google images search will probably just show you their "pin-up" miniatures line since that's what's gotten the most attention. But the aesthetic of "hands where they shouldn't be" is pretty common among the monsters. In particular, you might enjoy The Phoenix or The Lion God.
I actually don't think the first pour looks bad - just looks like rough water and the bubbles wouldn't even be wron there if the snake is moving :D I like your work!
This came out so cool. Man, if snakes didn't rely on sunlight for thermoregulation, I could imagine an arctic variant that tricks ice fishers into their demise.
OH YESS ARTIC DANGER/BOOP NOODLE !
Love the texture roller! I thougt it would look a bit more separated, like overlapping, but it looks seamless! Ive been trying to do some reptilian sculptures but I didnt want to make the scales, so thank you!

Go forth and make scales!

it’s wild to me that snakes are just creepy enough that they don’t even need to have teeth to be scary. great work, adam!
Ahhhh , So frustrating when you open the pressure pot to realize that you had a leak in the mold 😖. Welcome to the anxiety from opening the pressure pot Adam 😄. I also made a snake for my next video but used a different method to create the snake's skin. your method is better. I wish you had published this video sooner. 👍👍
I like to use a glass pressure chamber so I can see what is going on inside

I saw your snake on Instagram and I've been intrigued ever since!

I love how he spent more time creating the scales roller. It reminded me of the saying, "A great woodcutter spends more time sharpening his axe than cutting the tree".
The roller was cool, but it also triggered my trypophobia.
Now he has a scale roller for next time though. Times saved in the long run for sure
I love your videos and your moalldls bye🐲🐍🐉
BRUH YO DUDE YOUR SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD
@@frndrmn oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
That little rolling tool you made is absolutely wonderful!
Still one of my favorites of all time.
There’s a very jarring difference between his cheery demeanour and the horrifying creations he makes and I’m all here for it
I swear it's just a huge wormie deelie that he needs someone to give him a hand.
Yea he wants your hand for dinner
And, not just the hand, but also your whole body for dinner.
No, he want /you/ for dinner
Imagine if he made it so that the snake moved. Jesus Christ, anybody that went to his house wouldn't be able to sleep after seeing that. Absolute masterpiece.
I think what probably ended up happening to the resin in the pot is that the air inside the resin expanded so much that it overflowed and just poured out the top. Maybe you could try using less resin at a time, doing layers? Loved the end result anyways, always love your videos, keep up the great work.
As someone who owns three snakes, I appreciate you making this noodle!
Certified nope rope.

@@EVOWatcher5712 even better, noodlegeddon!!
I've only recently discovered your videos, but I've been on a binge. You're like ASMR, but for my eyes. I love your innovative ideas (like making a pattern roller instead of doing it all individually [work smarter, not harder]). And your creations have genuinely inspired and motivated me to pick up art again after falling out of love with it a couple years ago. Thank you for showing when you make a mistake, because that's also inspiring. Also, just the way you talk makes the good stuff pump through my brain (wormiedeelies makes me laugh every time). So, I guess, thank you. Thank you for existing and thank you for your videos and channel. They genuinely make me happy. (Sorry for the feels, but some of your creations bring me to tears)
This is how i feel about every North of the border video ♥
Well asmr can be visual so he really is asmr for the eyes lol
Wow so heart warming ur so nice (not sarcastically saying FYI)
I was honsetly thinking of commenting something like this… i havent been here for long, but damn am I eternally grateful that this channel exists!
same, such a satisfying set of videos along with amazing ideas, witty jokes, and really calming vibes ~~and a really nice voice~~
Your sculptures are amazing I'm addicted to watching you make these masterpieces
this is the most satisfying resin pour i've seen in my life
I always feel devastated when you have to re-do something because of a resin mishap, but that second snake is a beauty! My favourite part was probably the showcase of your favourite rock texturing device ;)
as I nerd a like to analyze ideas like this and imagine how the snake would act irl. this big wormy dealy would probably inhabitant frequently visited spots by humans, like the pond in the park. when it's victim grabs its hand instead going straight for the bite it would most likely grab it with the tongue and pull it into its maul. I love the artwork and I love the ideas you come up with. If I had to give it one critique for realism sake I'd say the snake would be a much earthier color. Thanks for your amazing videos!
maw
IRL I feel like a random person would likely run and grab it but an astute person will notice that the noise made by the single hand, is not the same as a full-bodied person drowning so they may be on alert.
@@Plasmagon99 maybe then it would know to make muffled noises of a human, and move its tail to create bubbles so that would look like the 'human' is loosing air
yeah but are you a tiny thingy nerd?
Hmm… I think the problem with the pond in the park is that, while it would be easy to find prey, it would also be easy to be found *by* prey. Humans are territorial by nature and also dangerously smart. A snake living in the park might take out a few people at first, but the end result to that is the pond in the park being fenced off and potentially drained and/or filled in with cement. The good thing about being a snake, however, is that you don't have to feed very often. And the larger the snake, the less frequently it needs to eat- anacondas typically feed only four or five time a *year* (which is fucking insane). A snake this big, that is feeding off prey as large as humans, could probably go a good six months or more in between meals. As such, the most important thing would not so much be finding prey (although obviously it would need to make sure that there was at least some guaranteed supply of humans walking by) as avoiding witnesses. Snakey boi's best bet would be to lurk near some resource that is desirable enough to attract some humans, but in a surrounding environment that is inhospitable enough that there aren't whole crowds of them hanging around at all times. As such, I'd vote for swamps and marshes. Humans visit them on a regular basis for the wildlife, but generally in pretty small isolated groups as opposed to huge crowdsj. Also a lot of people visiting would be tourists who wouldn't be familiar with the area, and therefore wouldn't know to be cautious about the snake. And the area is dangerous enough on its own merits that people wouldn't necessarily question it if a couple of tourists went missing every year.
North your content is awesome and your clay handling is so satisfying keep up the good work
I really like how OP actually makes all the components instead of just cranking stuff out on a 3d printer for every single project Very cool art!
Okay, I've seen other artists do similar "horror cubes", but the inclusion of "mistakes" and comedic commentary just make this channel so much better IMO! Subbed 💕💕
I subbed too!
I looked in the comments and couldn't find anyone commenting about how much better the back up snake was, do you think the first snake WAS the backup snake for testing? BC if I had a project get messed up, my second one would be devoid of any effort LOL
@@PavitrStan4Life no, if he was testing, he wouldn't have gone through all that effort to make everything look good. You can test process and effect with a swatch. Anything with that high of an effort wouldn't be worth doing if you expect to break it.
@@TheBluestflamingos props to my dude, then! never have I ever seen someone remake something twice as good as their original attempt especially if their first attempt was brutally ruined beyond repair
Man, I'm super glad you had another clay human hunting snake lying around, I almost lost mine yesterday.
It's so nice to see how long your Patreon list is after just a year. Keep up the weird but excellent work.
This is probably one of my favorite projects you've made, this is amazing
If you made more 'creatures that pretend to be other things' to catch humans or other things, I'd literally love you forever XD That particular niche is EXACTLY my monster inspiration
What do you mean by "monster inspiration" ?
@@Jukinj94 probably like when making/drawing a monster, that is their go to type of monster
You should listen to the first episode of The Magnus Archives then :)
Ik right? OMG would be so cool if he made dragon or something!!!!
What are you, a sadist?
Dude, I cannot even express just how good this was. Normally, with these kinds of videos, I end up skipping through because of my short attention span. This kept me engaged and entertained from start to finish! The idea is so cool, and I love how you tied the inspiration into the actual video. I love that you showed the failures as well as the success - it's so relatable and true!! The concept and execution were second-to-none, and thank you for sharing this!!!
I like to put videos like this on 1.5x-2x speed. That way I get to see the whole process BUT at a speed my attention span can handle. lol Give it a try next time, maybe it'll help. :)

Best channel on KZhead hands down
7:24 - Am I the only one thinking it actually turned out pretty cool and dramatic with all of these bubbles and white foam like looking thing on top? looked like the snake movement of coming out of the water made it shake up and have bubbles around it, I'd say this was an happy accident that he overlooked, too bad.
Yeah he could make that one into snake jumping out of the pit

I actually like the fact that the bubbles stayed in the rosin. It gives it an affect of “hey, this snake is in the water.” And I really enjoy it.
drybrushing terrain is the only thing that brings me joy.
I like when you show what went wrong. It's really awesome to see the learning process.
This snake has more hands than I'm used to seeing on snakes
The second snake definitely looks cooler! Things like this make me wonder what your projects (or anyone else's) would look like if you made another directly after making the first using everything learned or wished was different. I'd definitely rather have more original content, but it's interesting to think about.
The commentary was so good I instantly hit subscribe.Excellent work all around.

Major respect that you were able to step away, and even start over from scratch when you realized you could do better. As someone who struggles with this myself, I imagine it’s kinda hard to do.
I just think it's a cool idea. Say a person was walking past this and yelled " I'll save you! " And gets eaten up by your masterpiece. It has a really scary story behind it. great word Adam! ☺
I almost had a stroke when he said that snakes have a single bone! LMAO
This is the best snek I’ve ever seen. Your sculptures are amazing
I cant even make a ball out of clay, how this dude makes this looks so easily.
Hii adam! I know how frustrating it must feel seeing how the resin just fail badly but thank you for sticking it through and sharing the failure along with it. Definitely makes a very interesting needed twist and drama for a video of making horrorfying snake creature!!!
Brilliant on so many levels,
I've always wanted to get into sculpting but the materials are so expensive So instead I will live vicariously through your videos
I am constantly amazed at how quickly you have risen to such heights, like it feels like you were just barley an amateur KZheadr, and now you have a stunning level of quality
Adam I find it truly awesome that you went ahead and worked on a whole other snake just to make sure we still had a video,tbh I probably would have screeched but you remained so come hats of for the” Almighty Adam”! Love your vids Adam
Ugh I love your resin dioramas😊
I love how we see the full process even the fails and you use methods that take things around the house or outside for certain things.
I've seen some stuff like that happen with pressure pots, only instead of leaks, it was due to the expansion of the air within the resin, causing it all to bubble up and spill out of the moulds. Glad the second one worked out! Looks amazing as always!
Yep. Seems there were so many bubbles and is sucked the air out so quickly it just foamed out of the box. I wonder if the sculpture could be salvaged though?
I love that you hand sculpted the snake instead of 3d printing it! 3d printing is great but seeing the process of adding the stomach scales and using the roller was super cool!
this is a GREAT idea for a dnd monster
I commented this in the last video but I must say it again.... what if all of your tiny nerdy things came to life in the middle of the night (night at the museum styles)....imagine this one coming to life
I love monsters like this (pretending to be something they're not. Like Angler-fish, just for, you know, humans.) I've seen a few people make things like that and I kinda hope you'll make more, because I love the creativity behind it! I hope your pressure pot is fine ='D
That's was Genius how you did the scales! 🔥
Favourite rock texture device ✨ A ROCK ✨
I really love that you also show that things don't always go to plan the first time around. I sometimes teach people and they get frustrated when they don't get it right straight away so I keep a box of my "fails" to show them that it is okay to mess up, that is how you learn.
underwater snakes are actually rather docile, this is a fair representation of what a underwater snake would do and look like if it hunted people. GOOD JOB!
Yah, as one of those weirdos that find snakes adorable, it’s cool to actually see a snake monster design that is isn’t just a snake. Those monsters feel cheep playing on the fear that not everyone has and also is the reason people kill harmless snakes so it’s cool to see a monster snake that is actually acts like a monster. I always appreciate monster designs based on animals where the artist actually uses the real animal as inspiration. Case and point, watch Snake Discovery’s video on why the basilisk in the second Harry Potter movie isn’t actually even a snake. People always seem to continue the myths about reptiles in their monsters, so it’s cool to see them actually represented in media. That being said even my bearded dragon has taken her turn mistaking my hand is food.
Wow, this roller that you made is awesome! Simply amazing!

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, and I'm not sure if this was intended or not, but the defined bubbles within the resign is just amazing! I think it adds just so much, amazing!
The scales look amazing! The snakes color is also really nice and I love the whole idea.
I love it. The anatomy of the inside of the snake's mouth is amazing
