Today I'm going to be making some pastel goth clay pins!
I wanted to do something pastel but with a little bit of death mixed in. The dark side of pastels.
I've been wanting to do pastel goth stuff for a while now because of megamoo. Megamoooo.
I hope I'm pronouncing that right. Megamoo was sitting on Instagram about a month ago and
wondering if edgy, dark pastel would work. Absolutely not...a problem. Of course I can make
it work. But basically that happened a while ago and I completely forgot about it until recently.
Why not? Well Dollightful does a lot of doll customizations where she basically completely
takes the doll and rips it apart limb by limb and rips out the hair and cracks open the skull.
It sounds graphic but it's really not that gruesome. Plus she ends up making some really
cool characters. Like last week she made a pastel rainbow one. There is is again! Pastels! I keep
being assaulted by these pastel rainbow colors so I decided, you know what? It's time to ruin
pastels for everyone! I've been waiting to do this for way too long and I'm finally getting around to
it. So I started off by doing some sketches. Several sketches. I was trying to doodle some
characters that fit my creepy-cute aesthetic. This one is supposed to be a cupcake-zombie of sorts
and this one is a ghost in a cupcake. Aww... I love that. I wont be doing either of those.
In fact a lot of these guys did not make the cut. Tough competition. Here's the ones I'll
be making today. The unlucky few. Except of course these aren't pastel colors yet and I did
make some changes to the color schemes of these for my final pins. You'll see what I mean. So I
started by taking some Sculpey clay and molding it into the shape I want. Since I had all these
planned out before hand I know exactly what atrocities I want to make. For this one I was
attempting to make a demon kitty but on the first attempt it was looking a little too creepy...too
weird. There was just too much detail. I wasn't having any luck with it. You're a lost cause.
I've worked with clay before but I've never really made any pins so I didn't know what
to expect exactly. I tried keeping things a bit simpler but my second attempt was
also too creeping looking. I redid this cat twice...so it better be worth the trouble.
You might be able to tell what some of these are by the shapes. For the others it might not
be so obvious at first but it'll start making sense when I bust out my pastel rainbow paints!
A lot of you guys know how deep my love for Posca pens goes.
They're my weapon of choice. Always. So it might come as a surprise to you that I will NOT be
using poscas today. I've decided to be daring today. Well it wasn't really my decision...it
was Posca's. Posca doesn't really have any light colors....so you see my dilemma. I mean
these are pretty light. They're almost pastel but they're not really true pastel. I'm forced to use
actual paints today...but I'm going to survive. It'll be ok. We'll get through these tough times
together. After shaping the clay I stuck it into the oven at 230 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
And now that all the boring stuff is out of the way we can get started on the fun part. I mixed
up some paints which ended up being wayyy too dark for pastels so I had to go through and add some
white to lighten things up. For my first pastel creating I'm going to start off with a black
cat. So when doing pastel goth not everything has to be a pastel rainbow color. Purr-haps you
can still have black. Pastel black? I'm just kitten. What I'm really trying to say is that
pastel goth can have black. That's where the goth part comes in. And because people often
associate black cats with bad luck I named her Jinx...like the Pokémon except with an
"I"....which basically just means someone or something that brings bad luck. Now she has
a milk mustache. I ended up pulling out my posca pens to finish her up. I know what I said...It's
an advanced technique called "lying"! Sorry I'll mostly be using paint today though so
that counts for something. To make her look a little more EVIL I gave her some bat wings
and a little moon on her head. I mean why not? I wanted her to have a mischievous look to fit her
chaotic ways but she kinda just looked angry so I went back and tried fixing that later.
She still looks kinda mad. I'm not having much luck with this. I admit Jinx isn't as pastel as
she could be. I kinda just stuck to pastel accents for this one. But I promise you there is a strong
paw-sibility the next few characters are going to be a lot more pastel. If you're new here and you
don't hate me yet you should consider selling your soul to me by subscribing to my channel. Wouldn't
want to lose me on the internet. I post new videos every Friday! Alright, back to the video.
You might not be able to guess what this one is quite yet. This little guy is a goat inside a
cupcake. A goat-cake. That sounds...appetizing. It does kinda make me hungry every time I look at it.
There's no real reason to put him into a cupcake. It just kinda happened. Some of
you guys say that my creations aren't scary enough...but you'd be surprised.
I've also gotten people that told me they've gotten too scared of the things I've made
or the backstories I've said. It's a battles I simply cannot win. Can't please everybody. But
I'm going to keep trying so I guess that's why I put a goat in a cupcake. I feel like it balances
things out a bit. Anddd I named him Billy. Billy the goat. Billy-goat. Sure...we'll go with that.
I ended up painting Billy a pastel pink color. There's something very dark about goats. I'm
pretty sure they're associates of the devil...or something like that. Personally... I love goats.
I've always loved goats. In fact I've always wanted some pet goats. Here's
a little screaming goat that my mom got me for Christmas one year. *goat screams bloody murder*
I love that. They have such an uncanny ability to scream like a human.
So anyway after painting it I then went through and added all the little details with posca pens.
I feel like if the whole pin was just pastel colors then it wouldn't really stand out as much.
I tried keeping most of him pastel but I felt like it needed the other colors too
to make him complete. *Billy baaas* Onto the next one. Here's a familiar face. You might
actually remember this one. He's an old friend of mine. A character I created a long time ago.
In fact...he's the first clay creation I made on my channel. His name is Slurp. *Slurp slurps*. I
kept his colors mostly the same...just more pastel. I'm using some really cheap acrylic
paints. They came in this huge set and they're kinda goopy. So I tried thinning them down with
water as best as I could. Oh and of course I had to wait for the paint to dry before I could paint
on the next layer. My favorite brand of paint to use is Folkart matte acrylics. This isn't
sponsored it's something I just olve to use. It's also one of the main brands that Ace of Clay uses
so you know it's gotta be good. Slurp is mostly blue with orange gills and an orange belly. I did
end up changing his eye color to black instead of red. Not sure if it was an eye infection or if he
just spent to much time in front of the computer before...but that's been fixed. I love him. He's
soooo cuteeee. No one probably noticed but Slurp originally used to have a fish but I wanted to
keep things simple so I got rid of it. I mean I guess I could have added it if I really wanted to
but I didn't. He doesn't look too happy about that...He looks kinda mad. He looks like he's
giving me an attitude...spoiled brat. Anyways for this next one a lot of you guys liked this
chonky boi from the Create This Book 2 video I did a few weeks ago so he has decided to make a second
appearance except not entirely. You see....I decided to sculpt only his hindquarters...his
hiney...buttocks is what I mean. This one was pretty easy to paint. I just painted him
all pastel pink. I did add some marks to his buns which were supposed to be like naturally occurring
spots on his body but I'm just now realizing that it makes him look like he...ya know...had a little
accident. *pig lets out toot* That's embarrassing, I admit. But honestly who could say that they've
never pooped their pants before?....No one? Yeah ok me neither....In my original doodle
I made it bright pink which I kind of like a whole lot better but since it's supposed to be
pastel goth I stuck to a very light pink. There's pros and cons to using both paint and posca pens.
Obviously the poscas don't have every single color which is a bummer because I really love poscas and
I wish they had pastel colors. I feel like this could have been better with pastel posca pens.
I mean it did turn out a lot lighten than I wanted it but I'm not mad. I still like it. It honestly
almost looks like a cows butt if it weren't for the squiggly tail. He's got a butt only a butcher
could love. Alright...moving on. So this one is fine...I mean it's nothing new. It's just a bat.
Bats are adorable little weapons of mass destruction. I originally planned for this
bat...let's call her Buffy...I planned for Buffy to be a green color but I really wasn't feeling
it...at all. The green was looking kinda ugly so I decided to opt for a pastel purple. She has some
tiny little fangs biting into a donut that's half the size of her. She looks pretty happy. Clearly
she's very content to be stuffing her face. I tried to give each one a different expression
to show their different personalities. I made the donut a pastel pink color. I feel like it
looks like I gave the donut eyes...The donut is not alive...Those are actually supposed
to be bite marks from her fangs...in case you were confused. After I was done painting I used
some E6000 glue to stick pin backs on them but I didn't have enough pin backs for every single one.
I still wanted to give the others a purpose in life so I just ended up gluing magnets to the
rest. And here they are in all their pastel goth glory! Hey I just got off the phone
with the Dark Lord of Pumpkin Spice *Dark Lord of Pumpkin Spice blabbers gibberish*. If you
don't like and comment on this video we're gonna have to cancel Halloween this year.
