Sculpting a GIANT Caterpillar

I made a giant resin slug caterpillar! Similar to a Jewel Caterpillar

The other printer I used is the Saturn2

I really liked working with these paints! If you’re painting over a metallic finish or want a crystal clear effect, Candies are the way to go. I mostly used the regular Transparents because it’s easier to tell what the color is and they don’t red to be mixed with 4050 UVLS gloss.

Being an artist is the most beautiful thing I know. You had a giant caterpillar in your head and said “no, this needs to be out here in my hands so I can show it to people” and then you just did that. Incredible.

I love how he uses natural light in his video, it makes them 999x more pretty

As someone who loves color-changing things and articulated things, you can imagine my raw delight at seeing this little champ. It's so adorable! Probably one of my favorite things you've made. Great job Kayak!

If someone makes a toy brand on prehistoric creatures like the Dino Rider series, stuff like this would be awesome in it!

Snom is looking a little different today...
So cute!!

[gameyybuilds]

This is just fantastic. I couldn’t believe the thumbnail wasn’t just a photo of the original caterpillar till I watched the video. Superb work!

[drumfish]

Oh hell naw no plant is safe from this.

Man I'd love a man like this. Sounds dead inside, crafty, good sense of humour, and most of all: dinosaur and bug loving

9:35 what adorable giant little gentleman

Nice to see you working on other projects that don’t pertain to prehistoric animals! Amazing work as always. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next

You should add lore to this: megalepidoptera is a genus of proto Lepidoptera that is found from the late Carboniferous to the late Permian, they are the ancestors of moths, and butterflies. A genus of them includes the first fossil of one called megalithus, the one featured in this video *AKA it’s larval form* another genus features the biggest one in this genus, megalepiro.

I really really appreciate how you walked through the ZBrush sculpting steps! I know not many people have access to software like that or even have the time to work with it, but as an Animation student working with Blender it was really satisfying and helpful to see those extra steps. (I don't plan to make something like this, but just seeing how other people's workflow stimulates the creative part of my brain)

This is absolutely gorgeous. You captured everything about this lil guy PERFECTLY. Someone should hire you to design props I swear. Keep up the stunning work!!

[LethalSaliva]

Absolutely incredible! It even looks cuter than the real thing.
It would be cool to use a 3D printer to replicate some toys I had once.

He’s like the craftsman with montage editing.

[hailchan]

this caterpillar reminds me of the Pokémon “snom” and i love it so much

[BookwormWoes]

You're recent videos are giving me Studson Studios vibes with the editing and narration/script, and I love it! Keep up the good work!

[kdttlrm]

along with being creative, this was oddly peaceful! thank you

[arsoncreates]

you should do the hickory horned devil caterpillar next! it's so beautiful, and some variations look like branching coral.

I love how good you are at this! and this is truly another amazing piece of art!
