Hey guys, what's up?
Today we are going to create MIDAS!
I don't care Shadow Midas, Ghost Midas, we are going to create him with clay
and then max out Midas with
golden acrylic paint.
Hello my friends!
For this video we are going to create  MIDAS
with some golden acrylic paint, but before that
we have to model him out of clay and it would be just insane
to create him in each and every detail with all the colors, just paint him gold,
but this is what we are going to do today.
Let's get started!
Yeah, I got some comments asking for Midas.
A lot of comments.
I think nearly a thousand comments
when I searched for the comments, I am showing right now.
This is how we get started.
It's the aluminum wire we use for the skeleton.
The basic start, the same start as we are starting as always.
Midas yeah, I know. This skin is out a while now
and we will probably see him still for some more weeks that
season two had been expanded.
You have probably heard the news
and I know and I get that that many of you are frustrated about that
that we don't get a new season with new storylines and new characters.
Well, I think it's well because of
the virus because we can't say it properly,
properly here on YouTube. Just kidding.
Co-ro-ne... No!
What am I talking?
Well we were talking about Epic
epic and that they postponed
the start of season 3.
It is probably because of the ongoing situation.
Yeah, everyone is calling it that way.
When they work a little bit more on season three,
that would be quite nice. I would really love to see
a whole different setting.
Last week, no this week there was this trend on Twitter:
rest in peace and Fortnite is dead and
and all the hashtags I have forgotten about.
And some of you and some of the community posted
some counter tweets
Saying thank you Epic. Thank you Fortnite.
Well, it's always difficult for a game
which is out for a while
to keep up the pace, keep up the speed of new content.
I get that and now that we have this huge
well many many huge competitors coming out very soon
Valorant. What what do you think about that game?
I haven't watched any stream on Twitch so far,
but I know that it could be a big deal.
Well, don't get me wrong. I'm definitely on the thank you Fortnite side.
This game had changed gaming in general so so much.
It opened this whole creative world and it's also the reason why I'm
yeah, creating skins with clay because I really love that game.
But it doesn't mean I want to do this for the next years.
I'm also really really happy that new amazing games are coming out.
Well, let's talk about the creation.
I love this skin color. It's so grayish,  so zombie like
and this is well the skin of Midas.
This is the elbow and we are working our way up.
We have the two hands and I decided well to go with this posture
with which Midas was introduced with and this is also the posture you get
when you play him and when you see him in Fortnite.
Yeah, I'll equip him with the weapon,
the Golden Gun not with the drum gun
as many of you asked.
I'm not really sure why.
Maybe because I wanted to stick with this image of Midas
which I had and which can be found inside the Fortnite gallery, as well.
The collar we are creating
is a very very thin layer of white clay,
a bit difficult,
but we will get there
and then we will finish the tie as well. We need two black strings for that.
I'm already so excited.
I'm so looking forward to the moment when I take the golden acrylic paint
and just... well you get me,
but there's still some work and it's just insane
that I am spending hours on this skin just to paint him,
but otherwise or just golden clay
wouldn't do him justice, I think.
Let's spend some time on the backside of Midas.
Mick Midas.
and his lonely stories.
Well, I'm not really sure what I am talking about.
Some of you posted background stories of Midas
in different videos.
I'm not posting them in this video,
but maybe we could do this in the future in one of the future videos.
So if you have any ideas,
I wanted to give more people the chance to
to contribute a background story for Midas
and then I will collect them all,
take the very best ones and read them out in one of the the next videos
So feel free to write beautiful background stories for Midas
and well, I am already looking forward to read all your crazy ideas,
crazy biographies in the comments.
I have some really big and
and also sad news to share.
Over the past months
we've been working quite hard on our new online store,
the new clayclaim.com website.
Well, it's finished!
The new website can be found on clayclaim.com
and this is the place where you get the blueprints for free, for example,
but also the clay. We are selling the clay,
but and this is the big but we are not allowed
to send our packages out.
What's happening? What just happened?
Well, what I wanted to say we are not allowed to send to every country!
You know due to the ongoing situation,
but we have a list on the online store,
so you can check before purchasing.
Otherwise, we just do a refund.
This new online store. I can't tell you how much heart,
how much creativity went into that.
I did nearly nothing on this project
Steph did, Kirsten Andy, David, Max, Luda.
Thank you so so much. Although we can't use it right now properly,
it was worth it because we created such a beautiful online store.
Thank you so much guys
Midas is already finished. Well at least for the body part.
Now, let's add some more decoration on the backside.
I said decoration, not details
The joke's on you for everyone who's playing bingo
and thought I'd say details.
That would be a great idea. Let's create a ClayClaim bingo.
Ans we're ready to go into the oven!
Freshly baked Midas.
That would be two further
fields on the bingo sheet.
We're ready to go into the oven and
freshly baked... You get me.
Well if anyone of you want to create
a bingo Clay Claim...
Well, I would be more than happy to share this among the community.
You can post that to me,  to clay claim contact@clayclaim.com
contact@clayclaim.com
If you have the time to create the bingo game,
that would be quite funny and come up with all the ideas.
So we can play that together.
This is the hair of my Midas
and right now this character, you know that I really suck at creating human faces,
but he reminds me of this guy from James Bond, what's he called?
The one with the broken eyes and this guy also has...
It's the guy from...
Oh my god.
Freshly baked Blofeld.
That's right, this ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentleman is Blofeld from James Bond.
Well, I'm not really sure about that, but it's my theory
because all is about agents.
Well, it makes sense and maybe it's just me who realized that right now.
Yeah. Well, but I'm still happy I found that out just by myself.
Yeah, we need some more golden colour.
This is acrylic paint and we were doing a mess with that.
So let's take the brush and let's first start gently only with the hands.
Is there also a skin which symbolizes James Bond itself?
Now I'm really curious now this really
changed everything.
Well, maybe we need some more golden paint to make a proper Blofeld.
Maxed out Midas.
Oops!
Well, that's fun.
Let's cover him up.
Okay.
Gently, oh it already looks so beautiful. Look at that almost done.
We will get there. Well, of course, I don't mess around with my creations.
I make sure that it looks really really beautiful.
Look at the hair. Oh, I really like that.
Maybe we should remove some of the golden color
because it was a bit too much between the fingers.
That's it MIDAS!
In gold!
It's Blofeld.
I really hope you enjoyed today's video with Midas!
Now let me know if you prefer ghost Midas or shadow Midas or...
Lame Midas.
Write it down in the comments. Have a great weekend!
Stay creative. Take care guys. Bye!
'So you idiot painted me all gold. I love gold!'
Okay, okay everyone listen.
This is quite important.
It's not Midas, it's Blofeld from James Bond.
It's Blofeld!
