Hey guys and welcome to another Polymer Clay Tutorial!
Today we are going to create
Slurpy Swamp from Fortnite in Chapter 2.
Welcome to this gigantic tutorial!
We will create Slurpy Swamp. First of all, thanks a lot for all the nice messages
which I received for me to get better very soon.
Thanks a lot. I'm feeling better.
I don't think I have any fever anymore
just this...
...you get that, this annoying cough.
Okay, let's get started.
This is the blueprint for today's video.
I just tried to zoom out as much as possible
while watching a replay in Fortnite
in chapter 2 and this is the perspective which you get.
All I had to do was just print it out and get started!
I cut out all the islands and this is the very first layer.
This is just some brown, the chocolate one
and we try to make a very smooth layer because this is the base layer.
This is ochre and we will start forming or
defining all the shapes of the islands which we have in the swamp.
And look at that! They look so beautiful. All these swamps. Do you like this location?
I got many many requests that I should create this location.
I think maybe by far the most requests compared to other Fortnite locations.
In the end of this video
I will also ask you which location I should create next
and this doesn't only cover Fortnite.
I'm open for any other game, as well. As you have seen I try to get in some more variety, as well.
And now let's focus on the creation.
You have seen that we are working on all the islands we have in the swamp itself
and I create these islands by using different layers.
We have the ochre. I am then using a mixture of ochre amd this brown.
Here you can see me doing all the outlines.
It already looks so nice, so realistic when you compare it to the gameplay
and I'm pretty sure that you are more familiar with this location than I am.
I've landed like three times on this location because I haven't played that much Fortnite lately. Sorry.
And this is the ocean. This is the connection part. We need some blue.
This is turquoise, dark blue, and the aqua, the bright blue
and I try to mix a really really nice color
for the water. So let's see.
If this works.
Yeah, look at that. We have the base layer
Maybe we should throw in some different colors
so we don't mix it too strong because well look at the blueprint
from the map from my replay.
You have all these dark blue patterns inside the water
and this is the sand
from the beach. Oh, it looks so so vacation like.
Hot beach in the winter.
Yeah, that would be a great place to be.
I know that some of you are probably watching from the hot areas on this Earth
Right now it's quite cold outside.
It's probably going to snow within the next days which is okay because Christmas is coming up.
Don't get me wrong,
but now with this cold and
less light outside the sun is coming down so early.
Yes I would want to change places right now.
But we have to face reality and this what we are doing in this tutorial, as well.
These are all the polluted spaces within the swamp
I just created and then we have some further spots for tiny tiny...
Well, look, these are not really lakes more like swamp spots as well, I guess.
And we need some grey clay because there are a lot of stones laying around
and well, let's face it
I can't create all the tiny tiny stones each and every stone in this set.
I just mixed a slightly brighter green by just throwing in some yellow.
You have seen that and this is another outline for our Islands.
Let's place these to see if they're all green. Yes, they are
and then we can search it... Sorry!
Covering all these island with
a thick layer of green because we need a lot of clay to shape all the landscape.
This is I'd say this is the most difficult part in this tutorial
to get all the different heights and all the different paths right
because it is a 3D model after all.
And some of the connection parts like the road or the bridge for example
they only work if you pay extra attention to all the landscape, heights and
details, so I really want to make sure that in the end
it turns out fine and that it makes sense.
Now we are placing some more stones.
I'm doing this all the time.
Whenever I saw a stone on the blueprint, I had also my laptop on the left side
just spending hours and hours in the replay.
I'm so sorry I was not able to answer your messages in Fortnite.
It was just... Yeah, too time-consuming to focus on the creation itself.
This is the part where the bridge will go over over the river and the road.
It leads down this beautiful hill we are creating right now.
Now let's focus on the lower part of the map
in the right corner.
And this will be the connection part for another bridge because we have three
three bridges in total on this location and on this area, which I chose
from Slurpy Swamp.
And then we have this opening inside the mountain.
Where also the Slurpy juice is dropping out
into the swamp.
And we have some more tiny swamps as well
and later after oven hardening. Well, not really after oven hardening,
but just before I will use a lot of liquid clay
to create all these water and swamp effects on the map
and I am really curious how it will turn out.
This is the first building if you can
call this a building. This is just the entrance
or the exit depending on where you're going
for the Slurpy pollution which is floating out.
And we are cutting it open
and it should look like just the one in reality.
Well, I haven't seen something like that in reality but in Fortnite reality place.
And now let's focus on the factory! The factory itself.
I try to cut it out as well
to separate it from the landscape that we get all the roads and all buildings, right.
This is the very technique I used on nearly every Fortnite map I have created.
The very first one. Tilted Towers, of course, but also like Neo Tilted.
This is the very first base layer. It's bright grey. It's called dolphin grey.
Then I threw in just a little bit of black
and we can place all these blueprints on the different layers of clay
and cut it out.
This is the dark surface of the city.
Yeah, let's call it a city. It's the roads and
now we can start finding all the shapes and all the contours of the streets.
These are all the sidewalks and this was a bit difficult to create and find all the right spots.
You can see that I used the blueprint many many times and this is
probably 30 times the speed I was creating this
so you can guess this is a lot of work.
So hang in there if you want to create something like that.
I hope you don't get frustrated.
Oh yeah, these are really really great.
I have created the pedestrian crosswalks in the past
by just painting them on the oven hardened clay,
but I thought it would be nice to create all these
tiny details with clay.
These are the two similar buildings on the left side.
I try to get in some more details and also
creating the roof, which is basically just a very thin layer of silver clay.
So, let's try to build these two identically.
Yeah, and now we are focusing on the windows.
Yeah, it should look like that and we can place them into our tiny tiny cute neighborhood.
Well, it's not a cute neighborhood
And these are the trucks. There is one lying on the side.
And we have some boxes laying around it was just impossible to get all the different things
laying around.
Hopefully, well, you can judge.
I got all the important and recognizable things, right.
For example, the trunk, which is hitting the wall
we are creating right now.
Oh, look at that!
It looks so nice and it's so...
...noticeable.
So this is some stairs going down. I also tried to create these, as well.
This and also later when we are focusing on the main factory buildings
we have this connection
way in the air.
I don't know what it's called in English.
Maybe you can let me know in the comments.
So, the connection way, the connection path
from this building to the left to the next one.
And this is the tower
where we will attach all the chimneys later.
We have three of these
Maybe we can already create the chimney by just rolling out
a very very thin worm of clay
to make sure that we don't forget that.
This is the window, the curved one on the backside.
And we have some more outlines on the roof and also this characteristic slurp logo.
Is it a logo? Yeah, I think so. These are all the chimneys
and we have many many pipes
and tubes in this set and
I try to get them in, as well.
So, this will be the wall which is going down to the river
or to the swamp.
Here we go for the last building.
Some more pipes some more windows.
This is the way and I have no idea how to call it.
Let's just call it airway.
Some more tubes as well and this is another truck. Look at that
It's just insane how tiny the scale is. I know that I probably missed a lot of
vehicles, different cars and further trucks, especially in the landscape around,
but for this for the buildings, I tried to create all the tiny details as accurate as possible.
For example, these two green bushes right at the entrance.
Oh, I could have done so much more
I could have spent a whole life on this set.
And at least for the buildings we are ready to go into the oven!
Nobody wanted to sponsor today's video, so I decided to sponsor this video.
With, well this is our starter set, but it sold out
but because everyone is
celebrating black Friday we thought it would be nice
to introduce you to the Clay Wizard where you can choose all the colors which are on the market
and you can just click on them either 6, 12 or 18 colors.
You get all of them and you can decide. This is even the night glowing one.
Yes, this is our code 11 % off 'blackclay2019'.
You get 11 % off clayclaim.com. Check it out!
I am pretty sure that you will get all your shipments and all you orders till Christmas,
so don't worry about that. I know that it says
30 days delivery time, but well we just put it in to take away all the pressure
from our shoulders, but in the background we are working like crazy.
Just right now I hired another person to just help us at the studio
working for the online store only. Welcome to the team Ludi!
So, I'm pretty sure that you will get it before Christmas
and I'm really sorry this Clay Wizard is quite buggy because of all the huge images
we uploaded, so it just takes some time to open the Clay Wizard.
Hang in there. clayclaim.com 11% off with the code 'blackclay2019'.
And now let's end this commercial
although I think it was quite nice.
Let's focus on the creation. This is the bridge the very first one.
Actually... no wait!
This is the second one we are creating. Ah, this edit is so fast.
This is the road which is leading to the island right in the middle
and these are all the roads which are connected to the different map pieces.
Maybe we should remove this clay just right there and there and there and even there and
and then we can work on some further buildings
because we have some further buildings on this map.
Not only right in center of the city, the factory city.
We have this building on the bridge for example.
This is like the connection building to let the people in and
to decide who may enter.
This is a bridge by using a paper clip for that.
It's the old iron... the rusty old iron one.
Maybe we will paint it just a little bit dirty
dirty after oven hardening and
well, I told you before we have some further buildings to cover.
This is the very cute and I call it tree house on purpose.
Probably there is a different name for that, but if I would build the tree house
If I had to live in a tree house it should look like that one and we have the tower as well
which doesn't really look like a tower in the clay version,
but you get it what it should be in my tiny clay world.
There is another building and even some more swamps
in the lower part and then we are adding some more grass and the buildings we have already prepared.
And this is the tube I was looking forward to create that
because it's leading right into the river and
we already created the polluted stuff,
but later, we will mix the liquid clay.
I will throw in some special shiny colors, which we already used on
Rippley yeah!
It was a bit controversial, but I think to sum it up you really loved that.
It was a bit different than all the other ones and
probably I'm not going to use this material again.
So these are all the trees we are placing right now and the fun part starts!
This is liquid clay. I messed it up
but to make sure that I am not messing up with a liquid clay
we have to create some barriers and this is what you see right now.
It does look quite nice. Well, it's ugly
let's face it, but we will remove it after oven hardening.
So let's try to get in some more liquid clay.
Oh, yes.
Look at that.
We are shaping the swamps right now
and maybe we can use a brush
to get the liquid clay in each and every corner.
Oh, it already looks so nice. Maybe we can even add some acrylic paint.
This is olive green because we have some plants inside the water.
And now we will mix the liquid clay. The colored version of it.
We are adding the liquid clay first.
Then I have this powder the blue one and the green one.
You know these from the Rippley tutorial, of course.
Let's try to mix it. In the Rippley tutorial I think I used a little bit too much of these powders.
So, please try to be really careful with that not to use it too much.
It looks great because it's still transparent
and now we can add it right at the spots where it should come out.
Look at that.
It looks so nice and we are ready to go into the oven!
Meanwhile the whole creation is still in the oven
and cooling down we take this special paper, this wrapping paper
to create all the treats
because this time I created the tree trunks too thin
and using clay would have been just too heavy for this tiny tiny thin trunks
so we go with paper.
And we are creating many many leaves, many many trees, tree leaves
and we have a bunch of them and after oven hardening
after cooling down, we will glue all these different parts of the tree into our creation.
So I'm really curious what it will look like. I haven't done that before.
So let's find out together
what it will look like if it works.
This is our result.
Maybe we can remove some parts
of the clay as well and even the barriers which we used to stop the liquid clay
from floating out of our creation and maybe we should even add some more liquid clay
because now the connection parts look a little bit ugly
because of the barriers we created. Maybe we can just...
And I am letting this dripping down
Hopefully after oven hardening it will look amazing
and we will put this creation into the oven again.
Freshly baked Slurpy Swamp!
Look at that. It looks so nice the oven hardened liquid clay.
We're adding some transparent polish to make this warm really shiny.
Oh, yes and the moment has come
the moment has arrived to see if it really works with the trees.
Yes, it looks nice. It looks cute. Look at that all without clay.
Now we can add all the trees and finish these.
This is a lot of work.
This is a lot of work and I'm pretty sure I missed some of the trees which I should have created,
but I didn't.
Look at that. The chimneys are missing. Right!
I almost forgot about this piece.
I try to make it a little bit dirty.
I'm gluing it onto the buildings, one on the left two on the right side. Look at that.
Maybe we can even add some more slurpy juice.
This is the thumbnail I used for the video.
So I had to shoot this experiment anyway.
Guys, look at that!
That's it Slurpy Swamp!
It looks amazing! Look at all the details the trees.
I hope you enjoyed today's video with Slurpy Swamp.
And now let me know which map piece I should create next.
Should it be from Fortnite or any other game.
Please let me know write it down in the comments.
I guess that's it for today. Have a great weekend and take care guys. Bye!
No, no, no!
