So, what shape does that water have?

In this episode we take our inspiration from a beautiful movie, namely The shape of water. Creating the amphibious creature with DIY methods was a challenge, especially when it came to the paint job.

There are many steps to take and a lot of detailing so this is one of the few videos we've posted with a skill level of Ninja. It's also one of the reasons for it being so long.

We suggest you watch the movie The shape of water to get a nice reference of the creature before you try to recreate this look.

Good luck!
