I actually like the way the light distorts the ninja inside. It feels less like resin and more like slime to me.
why does this have no replies
@@lemondude2 haha you replied! TAG your it!
@@Zazer-tu9svAAH MAN
I agree! Looks really cool.
YIN-YANG INANIMATE INSANITY IS HERE WOWZA
This needs to go all the way to moonlord. He would be the coolest clay monster ever.
I could not agree more. That would be beyond incredible. How many True Eyes of Cthulhu would be your ideal?
agreed, i really want to see a skelatron or the eater of worlds
yesss ❤️🔥
Agreed
Hear me out, all mech bosses at once
Dispite the fact that this didn’t come out how you had hoped, I actually love the way the ninja looks in King slime! It looks like he’s suspended in water (the not completely smooth surface really helps) and makes it look more realistic in my opinion
I really like the imperfection of the king cause it makes him look more realisitic.
i love how the imperfections on the surface make the slime look extra slimy and wobbly. so far this series has been a blast, please keep going
Those "happy little accidents" Bob Ross talked about weren't just a way to make newbie artists feel better, sometimes the mistakes you make can lead to more beautiful products
I know right, so beautiful.
Aye it actually looks like it's a bit wobbly with the imperfections and actually adds to the realism a touch.
More terraria bosses!
@@luketfer wobbly was the word i was looking for, edited my comment lol. yeah if it was a perfectly smooth half-sphere it definitely wouldn't look as real.
That ridiculously tiny skeleton is a phenomenal bit of sculpting just dropped into this video like it's nothing. Bravo, Adam.
I was going to say! That skeleton blew my mind!
Personally, I think the fact that the slime isnt perfectly smooth makes it even better! It gives the illusion that it's slowly moving when it's idle just like how our chest rises and falls when we breathe. And, since the slime is blue, it looks like water. Water isn't meant to always be 100% clear and non-deforming. I'm not saying this just to be nice, but I'm saying this because it's genuinely the truth.
Honestly, the ninja skeleton not being fully visible and being distorted actually works really well! Even though the slime kinda looks like water, slime, the thing itself is not water so not seeing it fully is a happy accident :3 You should really be proud of this one, it turned out awesome!
As per usual, this looks extremely edible.
Excuse me?
@@cteverything1494you heard what he said
Very true
This but it’s made out of jello instead (yummy)
cake
To me, the opaque, distorted look adds to it! Imagine being someone who came across the King Slime if it was real and seeing something suspended inside of it. At first, you'd wonder what it is..........and then, a dawning feeling of horror would immediately wash over you once you realized *what* it was!
I was looking to see if someone said something like this ! Though I didn’t think about the L o r e implications like you did. Makes it even cooler!
@@Penguin-nr8sqI read L o r e in MatPat’s voice.
And sense it would be moving, there would almost certainly be moments where the slime would be smooth enough that you would be able to see the corpse in full detail. If King slime could perfectly control his shape. He could make a magnifying lens shape over the face of the corpse, creating an illusion that he had a massive decaying face.
@@foodofthegodsreverse pikachu
@@foodofthegods so did I 💀
The way you create the ninja is amazing. Although it's really small, you make it so detailed.
4:44 that is the reason why the ninja is screaming 😨
I think the fact we can't see the decomposing ninja is more terrifying because it leaves the new adventurer to be like "Oh god what the hell is in that thing!?"
Yeah. P.s. Where does he get his monster clay?
Rimuru being a boss
@@frostyguy1from monsters, of course...
Ikr
I actually think the fact you can’t clearly see the ninja perfectly inside makes it more interesting to look at. Very cool :)
I agree! I feel like that’s how it WOULD look in real life!!
I was so shocked when he talked about it negatively, IT'S PERFECT LIKE THIS!!!!
This is by far the best thing Adam has ever made. He put so much work into the ninja and its basically impossible to see. Classic. I love this king slime and slime subjects
my attention span with youtube videos usually sucks, but your videos just keep me captivated and focused all the way through! i love your videos a lot and its inspired me to make my own miscellaneous sculptures. thank you, for making cool things on the internet
Before I tried sculpting I thought you were talented but after I started sculpting I realized you're just an absolute legend
Lmaooo
Thought that was going in a completely different direction
And he’s so nonchalant about it too He makes it look easy
I second this as I too have started sculpted and omg.
As a giant Terraria fan, you have no idea how incredibly happy these last few videos have made me
giant terraria fan? over 350lb?
@@TheBaka128Nice one
ikr like his terraria creations are so friggin cool!!!
Fr
He should do the mechs, golem, plantera or lunatic cultist, or moonlord
The uneven surface of the slime is actually nice, feels more slimey really
The part where he explains why the bucket needs to be broken in order to work lmao
To be honest, the fact that the ninja is so obscured really adds flavor to it. Imagine an adventurer seeing a figure trapped in slime, unsure to tell whether they're still living or maybe even *controlling* the creature, only to realize all too late what befell them.
As so often is the case with your sculpts, what you see as imperfections is to me what makes your art look so much more alive and real. Don't ever change, Adam! You're the best.
Like with the bubbles that show up in some of the resins pours, I just love the way they end up looking
I feel like the distorted, hard to see ninja is how it should look tbh, feels pretty authentic
fun fact: "King Slime" is just a bunch of slimes that bumped together to make a larger body. (slime from terraria is a delicacy, so king slimes are pretty mucha. buffet)
I live this terraria series so much hope you keep going
I live it too
I live cocain
same, i really live how he makes these bosses from different materials!
@@localgreen4425agreed😊
@@leto222 the amount of live i have for his crafts is worth dying for
As a slime fan in general, this is an AWESOME make! The distortion doesn't bother me at all and encourages me to take a closer look for all those little details. Good Job Adam!
I just watched all of your terraria creations and it's so cool to see the process and the effort that goes into all the details. I'll definitely watch more of your content, I can see all of the love and care you put into each creation!!
Having little details that are kinda obscured but technically visible if you peer in closely enough make it all the better, all the more real, and an extra treat for those who cam see it up close
I love the fact that by the end of this terraria saga, you will have an entire army of creatures becoming more and more visually terrifying
"This is a static grass applicator, and it's used to apply static grass." This is absolutely the kind of quality content I signed up for, yes indeed.
hmmm yes the grass is made of grass
3:35 oppa Gangnam style
1:04-lol it looks like Patrick Star’s rock home!
The view of the ninja is perfect! Just how it would look inside a ball of slime. Good job!
Adam deffo needs to make a studio tour so we can see all of his creations in one place, the good, the bad, and the cursed
yes
we dont talk about the lego man...
No No.
No cuz he hasn't made NSFW yet
my brain has been destroyed thanks [btw cursed isnt just nsfw, it can also mean weird looking, like a realistic minecraft steve with realistic toes and everything, or the bad could mean a horribly went wrong sculpture or a on purpose looking very bad one, and the good, well its good]@@Squeakoko
i am very, VERY impressed how you made this tiny ninja skeleton so detailed😮
Just wanted to say that you inspired me to try sculpting and I have been loving it. Thank you!
the extremely tiny skeleton and skin step made me gasp so hard, what a detailed work... so impressive and also so funny
Lmao my eyes just were big
I hope he just makes every terraria boss at this point
Imagine him making the Moon Lord or the Destroyer and it's gigantic lol. Like to scale with the king slime.
Wow youre so talented, the fact you could make that ninja so detailed at such a small size really shows this
It looks amazing! I love the distorted look of the ninja through the king slime!
I know you joke a lot about not being especially talented, but you truly are. You’re really good at your craft, but also at editing and you’re funny. Thanks for all your work!
O
i dont want to discredit him in any way and he truly is really good at what he does, but, its not like talent is all that important and skill mostly comes from effort. talent helps, but skill alone can always catch up so basically he could be right and not have all that much talent, but to me that makes it even better since it shows how passionate he is and how willing he was to perfect his craft rather than to be naturally good at it with just talent.
@@womp47 oh yeah totally! English isn't my first language and I tend to mix skill and talent. But I definitely didn't want to say that he was born with it (maybe it's Maybelline), but that his hard work definitely shows!
@@naoree yea i agree, and your english is good
love your pfp
Thank you for the silly little cut-away of you pouring water over the non-broken cup, was adorable :)
I like the distorted slime look instead of it being completely transparent. Whenever I want resin to be transparent, I will sand it down until it’s smooth then add polish to make it all clear
I like how the skeleton isn't 100% perfectly clear through the slime, it makes the slime feel more real in a way.
Adam, your attention to detail is astounding. The sculpting of the tiny ninja really blew me away. Great video as always!
I… I thought the ninja was controlling the slime… knowing that the ninja was FOOD all this time makes King Slime all the more horrifying… I LOVE IT. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL WITH THE POSING AND STUFF IS PHENOMENAL. THAT TAKES THIS FROM AVERAGE TO A MASTERPIECE!! Also the distorted visual of the slime only makes it look more realistically like slime. It’s what caused me to click this video. That texture looks INCREDIBLE.
I'm pretty sure the ninja is the guide's brother, too.
The ninja was fighting it but then it teleports above his head and he stuck inside forever since slime are so slimmy he can't barely move in and died with no oxygen
@@Nottheguyyouwantedasvillainhe has a skill issue. 😎
@@John-mn2zqbro brought a copper katana to a king slime fight.
@@U.S.A_America. he brought a copper short-katana
I won’t lie, I kind of prefer the king alike likey his rather than fully smooth, it gives it that more transparent slimey look than just frozen water, I love it
Honestly I think the fact that the slime king is wobbly makes it better. It feels more like actual smile and less like a big drop of water.
Wow, the amount of detail in that skeleton is impressive. You always come up with such creative ways of doing things, I love it!
The texture of the slime king looks great! It bends light in cool and interesting ways. It makes looking at the ninja more interesting too.
I'm surprised you didn't cut a hole in the bottom of the grassy plane to add some light. The glow would make the king slime pop and may have made the ninja more visible as well
I am so excited to see you make a boss like queen bee or skeletron or plantera!
never forget 1:40 when Adam talks about how being broken can sometimes be more useful than not... also life skills...
That tiny squeleton is one of the cutest things I've seen this month. The decomposing corpse is sweet too, but I don't know, the squeleton spoke to me immediately. I'd love to see rows and rows of tiny little squeletons like that 🥰
I like nerdy stuff too. Making a slime ball king, so cool. Making superheroes out of slime, maybe that would be interesting
Adam, I've been getting into Warhammer 40K, and collecting Mechanicus figurines for a bit, and I've always felt that my painting ability was a bit... subpar, I know I'm only aiming for Tabletop Standard, but you know how things get with you and your own worst critic. Watching you recently has massively boosted my confidence in my own work, I'm not doing that much worse than you, and I figure that if I'm doing nearly as good as you are, and am only a few simple steps and some extra materials away from your (admittedly, rushed) standards then I'm doing pretty alright. so yeah, thanks, Adam, for being a great creative rolemodel.
10:45 bro built a giant blob thats king of slimes complete with a decaying ninja corpse, and puts happy positive music in the glamour shots.
Imagine North of the Border doing like....Comfort audios? I mean like his voice is so soft and smooth, I often feel myself lulling to sleep when I watch him.
Love the terraria monsters! Would be cool to see Plantera. There are also lots of mythological beings I think you’d like making. Such as: “Skogsrå” - Swedish/Scandinavian keeper of the forest. A common depiction is of a woman with a huge hole in her back and a fox’s tail. She can be benevolent or malevolent. “Maran” The Mare - Also a Scandinavian being, basically the personification of nightmares (so it’s not mare as in a female horse but mare as in nightmare) and she was probably an explanation for sleep paralysis in particular. She would ride her victims’ chests while they slept so they couldn’t breathe. Mermaids: as they are in the myths where they drown and eat unfortunate sailors. Baba Yaga - I think most people know this one hehe. Krampus - evil Santa, basically. Pics of him are terrifying! Central European in origin. Stallo - a mountain giant who likes to eat people. Sami folklore. And idk about anyone else but I think the goatman is a terrifying creepypasta creature.
Honestly, the kind of distorted view of the dead ninja kind of adds to it. You only catch glimpses of the decomp and it rewards you for looking at it from all angles :)
I appreciate the fact that you went through the extra effort of making a video showing us what would happen for pouring liquid onto a holeless molding cup.
That tiny skeleton was so insanely detailed for the size, wow
Yes! King Slime deserves more love than he gets! Oooh. Speaking of, could you make Skeletron next?
Ya know… at first I thought “meh, it’s just a blob of jelly. Cant be that hard to make”… but then as I thought about it more, I can’t imagine how you could make a slime like that. Like, I guess you could start with a red marble or glass bead as it’s core, but anything I can think of would either end up looking like a glass bubble, or have clear markings from tools. Getting that perfect bubble of epoxy or what ever it is has GOT to feel satisfying as hell and look really good with a gelatinous and watery appearance.
King Slime has never looked so good. This has been the best ongoing series. Please keep making these!
I'm loving this series , I'd love to see more monsters . Especially with Halloween coming up .
the ninja is epic!! it looks like how the slime would distort it since its animate, instead of frozen like a jello salad
I think that the distorted image inside of the slime actually makes it look better. It makes it look slimier.
8:57 I personally think the distortion makes King Slime more realistic. I love this 💯🤙🏻
If I’m correct transparent slime distorts light
I cannot express the joy that it gives me knowing that this may become a series, i do hope that you do some bosses from mods like calamity
I require more of these, you cannot stop this now, you've doomed yourself to a task that must be completed
When you had the torch. I was expecting Ralph Wiggun saying: "Haha, I'm in danger!"
it's always a good day when this man posts one of his tiny nerdy things :)
This has become something truly special, I hope this continues on, and maybe one day it can end with moonlord. AMAZING WORK, it takes a very smart mind and lots of dedication to make these artworks.
Like 50 other guys said that already
@@NothingPossiblyQuestionMarkand?
i appreciate the demonstration of poring resin onto a non-broken bucket
Every day I pray to god that he will put the resin in the vacuum chamber AFTER he pours it, so much better for stuff like this. You can even do before and after if you want to but the pouring will add bubles no matter how clear it is before the pour so it really need to be in the chamber after
This series has been fantastic, I can’t wait to see your interpretation of Moon Lord
5:19 The magic you don't understand works like this. The vacuum chamber removes the air around the resin creating a vacuum. Since air molecules constantly push each other around, the bubbles in the resin will push out due to the bubbles slowly rising and pushing out due to the lack of pressure caused by the vacuum.
Can you explain that in idiot terms?
Despite it not being lore accurate I do quite like your interpretation of the Ninja inside King slime. There is also a added creepiness factor from how hard it is to make him out through the resin. Like you could see the man inside but, as you admire the work, the man through the distortion you start to see his decomposition.
you can fix the slime imperfections relativelly easy, all you need to do is progessivelly sand the resin and then polish it
Loving these Terraria bosses and hope it continues. With October coming up, some Pumpkin Moon bosses would be pretty cool
Amazing video, and the decomposing ninja was an amazing touch! I love the little trilogy of pre-hardmode bosses you made! A little hint for you when you wanna make jewels: If you make the shape and paint it silver, you can use Spiritstone Red (citadel) paints that are made to look like crystals. They work a treat for miniatures.
1. You're hilarious 2. I think it looks better distorted than perfectly clear. Imo it's realistic like the slime is moving. 3. Great video!
4:45 For fully invisible support for stuff suspended in resin, you can create a rod out of the same exact resin before hand. You can get resin sticks pretty easy by dribbling relatively thin streaks of resin on non-stick paper and letting it cure. When you put it all together, everything shares the same refraction properties, so pre-cured support and main resin body merge together.

i need it now.
I think it looks like poop Too
9:26 college students making a meal
The technique of using fire to smooth wax based material is often referred to "flame polishing" in metalsmith circles. Very satisfying to watch when it isn't your piece. 😂
now make the dirtiest block all jokes aside? this is phenomenal. major props for this. you said you weren't quite happy with the refracted ninja? but I think it adds a nice little touch of realism, y'know?
i am so impressed with the making of the tiny skeleton, i have trouble just making them 4 inches tall, chuffing heck, thanks also for putting the uk version for getting materials, you are the only one that i have encountered that has gone that extra step. cheers sir
I’ve known for years that my sense of humor was weird as hell but why did I laugh when the ball hit the table? 0:43
dioooooos no tienen idea de lo tanto que espere para que algún youtuber se lanzara ha hacer algún diorama de Terrarian, espere y busque tanto y por fin es reaaaal, asta quiero llorar por tal suceso, de verdad muchas gracias man eres literalmente mi nuevo héroe ahora T -- T
All I could think when you made the mud was that one meme that went "MMMMMMMM SOOO GOOOOD AND TASTY"
Loving the Terraria-ness
I always look forward to Adam making another Tiny Nerdy Thing!!!!
This channel is so sick!! The techniques are so cool to learn about
This is one of my favorite things you made, just because I love blue lol
I don’t know why I found that bit about using a non broken bucket so funny.
Incredible work as always. Your miniature sculpting never fails to impress me!
Another fun project and great instructional video. This would make a good light project if a strip of LEDs is added into a hole below the King. That should better highlight the decomposing Ninja snack.
I looked one glance at the slime and its ✨Amazing❤!!!I do think adding a broom on his mouth would make it 100% accurate.Its deff 99% accurate though,love every vid!
