Behold the Might of Calamity Ganon With this Polymer Clay Sculpture
Posted on September 22 2021 by John Piland
Among villains, Calamity Ganon is a striking image if ever there was one. Craftmaker and Breath of the Wild fan, Adam of North of the Border must have thought so too when he decided to sculpt this polymer clay Calamity Ganon before even beating him in-game.
Through no-short work, what starts as just some aluminum and black clay becomes a highly detailed sculpture with myriad intricate features. Creating this craft is quite the process, but Adam details how to do it with a step-by-step walkthrough of his process, involving materials such as wires, clay, and resin, among others. I’m not much of a sculptor, but I do appreciate all the work that goes into making sculptures, so I really enjoyed watching this tutorial. If I’m to be honest, watching this made me want to try making one of my own.
This is but one of many Zelda sculptures by North of the Border. Adam’s done many, many more, such as a Molduga, Link’s House, and even Outset Island. Of course, his work doesn’t end with Zelda, and among characters from various franchises, the sculptor has even created a Mines of Moria Infinity Box book nook.
Does this sculpture of Calamity Ganon capture your awe? Do you feel inspired to make some sculptures of your own? Let us know in the comments below!
