Repaint! Sea Dragon Aquarien OOAK Art Doll Custom
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2020
- Just in time for ‘Mermay’! Although, I guess this doll is a dragon, not a mermaid. The line’s kind of blurry with this one…. Anyway! I hope you enjoy watching how our Sea Dragon went from a humble She-Ra doll to a semi-ball-jointed, super involved, multi-layered custom art doll!

Catherine: I chose this doll because of the swimmer style body
Also Catherine: cut everything off and restart almost from scratch on the body
i ruined the 40 likes
pretty sure she needed the shoulders because they were a bit more muscular and wider than regular dolls
Rip adora;-;
XD
Tru- 👁 👄 👁
Doll: *has limbs*
Kathrine, getting out her shears: *snippy snippy*
*snippy snippy* I'm WHEEZING-
They shake in fear when they see her coming
Snippy snippy, and a clippy clippy
I-Is that a Teah Edge reference?
Imagine if that was yourself being cut with shears😐
I love the way aquarien towers over the rest of the dragons! really puts into perspective how huge sea creatures are compared to humans/human sized things!!
I can imagine Aquarien and Zephie racing each other. Like Aquarien swims and Zephie flies
Edit: I also feel like Aurora would be keeping score of how many times they win or lose
@@qittikat thx!
I wonder what the others would be doing. Maybe just watching and eating popcorn. That would be funny
@@avacado_but_misspelled Terra: Play nice, you two!
Aquarien and Aurora are siblings head canon.🎉
Barbie Mermaidia moment
Base dolls: **Exist**
Kathrine, brandishing her saw: *I'd like to play a game.*
How does this only have fifty two likes ???.? I thought this was hilarious 😆
After the dolls are finished: game over.
This is hilariously scary 😂😅
Challenge: watch the dragon series while closing your eyes and take a shot every time it sounds like a murder/torture scene
😂
Oh, I see, when Dollightful tears apart her dolls she's "an artist" and "making something beautiful" but when I do it, I'm "creating nightmares" and "making my little sister cry".
Same difference haha
Dollightful omg
@@modestghost4264 And I should know, *I have experience.*
@Glitched_Starz
And when I reassemble the bodies with wire and apoxy and paint all over them, people call me a psychopath and insist I should be in a mental hospital!! Ugh, what is wrong with society nowadays?
@@moemoethecoolest IKR! People are awful
I feel like Aquarien and Zephie would be the chaotic or mischievous duo like the youngest siblings in the dragon group while Nyx and Aurora have to control them like the oldest sisters.
I can see that, almost like Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer if you’ve ever seen Cats the musical
i imagine they desperately try to keep it from terra
And then Terra is the tired mom
I always love how positive Dollightful’s community is. It’s such a simple thing but watching her beautiful creations and seeing all the different people watching along with me in the comments makes me feel happy. I also love seeing all the ENBYs here!! It’s comforting seeing so many people getting to share their stories and experiences. I don’t know how else to describe it, but Katherine really makes my day better
Dollightful in 2021:
“Ok guys, this is what I’m working with”
*shows only the neck with neck peg*
Lol
in 2021.5 - cuts off parts of neck peg and replaces with appoxi to make stagnant head decorations
But she'll still talk like she's giving a tutorial 🤣 she's really going all out
don’t give her any ideas!
I saw this on her story
I love how the whole dragon squad doesn’t look like typical cliche dragons.
I 100% agree. I was worried they'd look like typical dragons just painted to their colour theme but they're all so different!!!
Zorubark yeah i don’t have a problem with cliche dragon designs but I’m just saying I like how these designs look!
Well dollightful isn't a typical cliche doll customizer.
@@Luboshko not sure those exist but true
I do too
I like how instead of choosing a random doll from the box, you take in what you’re trying to make and how their body should be built. That’s something I like about this channel that I think makes it different from the others.
24:32 I love the pose that Aquarien is in, they’re just laying there like “well I’m just here waiting for my tail” and I find that hilarious
The Demon Girl doll: i am the most complicated doll!
Terra: NO, That's me!
Aquarien: hey.
Xernieus though (if i spelt that right)
Xerneas dosen't think the same
Nova: eheh, what?
@@annaadkins *their, Aquarian is nonbinary.
Aquarien: hi my dudes
a massive tie-dye nonbinary dragon who still manages to come off as slightly creepy despite looking like unicorn blood is probably the most accurate representation of the sea I've ever seen, well done, 12/10
no... 100/10

She also got a couple of cool tye-dye t-shirts out of it lol. It was funny seeing her wearing them after she made them with her husband.
This is also the most accurate depiction of nonbinary people ever lol
@@helloworlds1911 no...9000000000/10
I think it's very fitting that Aquarien is larger than everyone else because the ocean covers about 70% of the earth's surface, and as katherine said herself, creatures can grow to incredibly large sizes in the ocean. Also i absolutely love this doll and they make my little nonbinary heart very happy!
I love how diverse the dragons are! For me I can barely manage to draw anything but girls, let alone sculpt 1/2 of these from scratch! she is truly a talented person
Dollightful: “I really like the build of this doll”
Also dollightful: *cuts off arms, legs and severs the torso in half*

i’ve seen this video so many times, it’s my favorite among the dragon dolls. it’s just so oddly comforting and the dragon themself is just beautiful. water has always been comforting to me and this character is the most original embodiment of a water creature i’ve seen in a doll. i absolutely love it
I love how she makes her videos like a tutorial even though most of us would litterealy never attempt to make anything as beautiful as this 🥺

Three years later and I'm still so glad you taught me the ladder stitch. It's been a life saver for years and I have you to thank for that!
I love that she doesn't make just male and female dolls. It's really refreshing to see characters that are just androgynous. As a character artist, you don't always want male or female. Sometimes, you want something in between, or both, or even something non-human.
my mother always said not to compare myself to dolls because they create an unrealistic beauty standard and frankly i’ve never wanted to look like a doll before, but gods this doll is all i’ve ever wanted to look like

saame!

Bro am I the only one in awe right now?
Like how do you go from a plain muscular blonde doll to a beautiful, unique, gender neutral, lanky and tall, pastel rainbow tie die sea creature with a tail that bigger that the said doll itself???
Like I cannot fathom the amount of detail that you have put into this one doll. From making custom limbs to full ball joint creation with extra articulated joints and the details like the little fabric flippers between the fingers to the giant tail and articulated ears, not to forget that she went the extra mile and painted watered down paints on the tail just to match the doll, I think it's safe to say that this woman obviously deserves alot more recognition.
Nyx: Darkness
Zephie: Wind
Terra: Earth
Aquarien: Ocean
Phoenix: Fire
Aurora: *Color*
What about Pheonix
the Snek Person she hadn’t done her when I made this comment, I added her now!
I think Aurora is a light dragon? I've noticed how she's done opposites right after each other like:
- Nyx (Dark) after Aurora (Light?)
-Terra (Earth) after Zephie ( Air/Sky)
-Pheonix (Fire) after Aquarien (Water)
@bliss Skylanders definitely did that so it's a possibility
Aurora: Color's an element, right?
The other dragons, not wanting to hurt her feelings: Sure it is!

this is still my favorite dragon of the series. Aquarian is so unique, and I'm in love with the bright colors and inhuman body shape. I also love how they're the most inhuman of the group (maybe it's the fins, maybe the colors, or maybe the lack of hair lol), truely giving "creature" haha
this doll is everything to me. easily one of my absolute favorites. genderless, beautiful and they use the same pronouns as me. i got emotional watching this i felt so deeply for this doll. such incredible work that really really speaks to me
Glad to see another enby feeling celebrated during pride 💜💛🤍🖤

ngl, i was skeptical when she said which colour palette had been chosen
but it actually turned out AMAZING and i love how it looks really different to the other ocean-themed dolls she’s done! 💕
I definitely didn't have hope for that color scheme, but it turned out awesome!
Same, I was rooting for the blue and orange
Mhm!
Sky Min same here, it really reminded me of an actual ocean creature.
The colors turned out quite diffrent from the concept art as they have more corally feeling to them in the doll and there is more blue. (thankfully, because the concept art was just a mess)

When I first watched this 2 years ago I didn’t even realize that this dragon was enby until I read the comments just now and realized they are! And that makes me so happy to see representation in dolls especially since I’m an enby myself :)
Also a ton of people correcting people in the comments when they misgender Aquarien is making me very happy :) I’ve seen a bunch of comments asking what gender Aquarien is or if they call Aquarien a he people correct it. it’s good to know that people are even being respectful to a doll
I never noticed this before, but the scrunching of Nyxs tail makes it look geometric and mysterious like it folding in on itself and I feel like it fits her theme
When you were cradling the doll in your arms during final assembly I was like "That's the size of a cat... Giant" but some how still was not prepared for the height difference in the group shot.
When she finally makes a sea dragon that is nonbinary AND rainbow, omg I cried
It makes me a happy nonbinary UwU
She uses gender neutral terms!! ahhh this is AWSOME
this is probably my favorite doll you’ve ever done, Aquarien is simply so gorgeous and their movements flow together so well. I also love how you made them an androgynous doll. they are so perfect and I can’t help but want to play around with them like I used to play with my mermaid dolls!
I recently had surgery and I'm ⬆️ on painkillers and watching these videos like this is an experience
Katherine: ignore the cat hair
Me: do i even remember what clothes look like with out cat hair?
It's dog hair with me XD
My cat's somehow got cat hair on my ball cap

I think that with BOTH cat and dog hair since I have three of each of those two XD

Literally lmao
also, this doll being longer and bigger makes a ton of sense!!! deep sea gigantism is a real thing, and them being so long and flowy is amazing. i keep rewatching these videos bc im so impressed.
i love how she creates dolls that show things that are almost taboo in our society in such a natural and accepting way, in this case, a nonbinary doll, and with terra, a doll with a larger body type, and it just makes me love this channel so much more.
Zephie: *holding her fishing rod*
"what?"

This dragon series can’t be called pure repainting anymore, its really doll creating. Amazing work yet again.. now I need to drag my distracted ass back to some actual dollwork too.
Always is 🥨
Lol do what you need to do!
Can we appreciate how genuinely beautiful this doll is? It’s amazing :0
Bright colors and vaguely threatening? Ideal enby look
She is so close to making a doll from scratch. I'm so ready whenever she is.
Seriously haha Kathryn (butchered that) is so creative and i look up to her art wise. Shes so cheerful and i think she can tottally make a doll from scratch. :)
Same.
She is secretly already working on it
Same here.
Really? That’s so exciting!
"So this poor dragon also receives a unwanted colonoscopy!"
DEAD
I love that they are so long! It makes me imagine they would be slipping around coral and being able to slide into hard to reach spaces to hid from other predators and stuff. They are AMAZING I love them 💜
Other predators? what makes you think they aren’t a predator themselves? because those teeth certainly look like the teeth of a predator
Ive seen this video so many times and I've never realized she articulated the ears lol, I love that! There are so many details in these dolls I notice a new thing every day!
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate how much work dollightful puts into just ONE doll
Yeah! Also I admire her creativity like look how she mapped out the parts to make the doll and how she makes her own home made joints it's just so cool!!!
Even her setup is perfect
Preach 🙏
Yeah
We love a dedicated artist

I can't say I agree with the color palette choice (i was a huge fan of the vibrant blue and orange, but the final result is gorgeous too), but I am absolutely in love with how wiggly and flexible they are. That and the suckers make them seem like some kind of cephalopod. Truly a formidable predator of the deep!
She should do a special, a giant doll like those monster highs and make it a star/sun dragon!
Rea Rea YES she can do constellations on the skin and eyes can be moons!
its prolly gonna take her a whole year to finish it lol. but it sounds fun
Yaaaas! She could give it long goldish hair !
*flashbacks to Nova*
OMG YEEESSSSSS
Next up on Dollightfull:
You know what, this time I’m just gonna MAKE the doll
She was gonna try and make a bjd in 2018 (obv didn’t happen) so honestly she could
she's becoming too op XD!
and she already sculpted a head there's nothing stopping her now lool
That'd be so cool!
I have no doubt she's gonna do that at some point but hopefully she'll take a break and do something a bit more simple for the next one lol. If she wants to keep making crazy stuff then she definitely can tho.
I will never regret the time that I spend watching these videos. She’s just soo talented and creative! Making your imagination a reality is a rare skill that she has. The only other person I new that could do that was grandma- My Dad 2021
My grandma passed away when I was 6. She was an artist also and she was blind from the age 35 to 74. Which was when she passed. She made a duplicate of every painting she made, and both sides of the family have each one she made. 🖤🌸🖤
That was very sweet of her. She must be resting in peace. 🕊
An interesting and probably unintentional feature;
The distribution of the colours suggests a gynandromorph (spelling?). A bilateral chimera of male and female. The bright pinks of a very fancy fellow and the cool greens of a mysterious lady.
so cute!! 🥰
which is pretty cool seeing as the dragon is non binary! gotta love that
I like that Aquarian also has a complicated design like Terra, because the ocean is just as full of life as the earth!
Lol I thought I commented this at first because we have the same profile picture and was like :
When did I do this and when did I get so smart 😂

I don't know why, but this character gives me so much serotonin every time I look at them. They're such a funky, colorful dude!
If there is any doll I would want it own, it would be Aquarian. Even just holding them would be amazing! The incredible colors and movement, I just want to stare at them for a long while! Excellent work, Katherine!
"A CLOWN'S ROSRARCH TEST" had me CRYING. this doll is AMAZING! what an amazing job

Agreed.
“Okay, I’m feeling inspired again. I just need to try harder” are words to live by

Guys, I’ll love the community Dollightful has created with her content. This doll is beautiful, and I love how everyone (including me) is happy that Aquarian is a non-binary or androgynous! Can we all agree though.. THIS DOLL IS SO COMPLEX HOW DID SHE EVEN DO IT?! It’s AMAZING!
The new Monster High dolls wish they have what Aquarien has
They DO wish and can ONLY wish😂😂

colorssssssssssssssssss!!!!
doesnt every enby character have the “oh no! anywaysss” vibe🤣
The colors remind me of coral
@@itsjustjordyn7141 as an enby my entire existence is “Oh no! Anywaysss”
Oh my gosh! They are beautiful! I love the long articulated body, the big beautiful tail, the bright colors. I always love the element of water. This is my favorite doll that you have made so far. Stunning
This doll took so much time and effort from dollightful that when she finished I physically got tingles!
i’m just gonna ramble for a bit. she was anxious about the doll being “too long” NONSENSE!! i absolutely love the lanky enby sea creature. outside of their environment they seems out of place and too long. but being around coral, seaweed, other oceanic flora. they would blend in so well! a creature who seems to be able to swim fast and over whelm prey with their “longness” they would be a beautiful predator, and is definitely my favorite of the dragon series

I remember watching this series when it came out and getting inspired to draw dragons, i was obsessed with them for like half a year lmao. coming back to these now and noticing so many details i didn't before is so amazing and inspiring! especially noticing the use of they/them pronouns and that Aquarien is nonbinary is so amazing now that i've realized i'm enby too :D This inspired me to start making sculptures(?) (they probably don't count as dolls since the joints don't move) out of tape and paper, maybe the next time i come back to this i'll be inspired to try my hand at customizing real dolls too :DDD Thank you for making these videos, i love them so much!
It's impresive to see the difference between the first dolls and the last dolls.
Dollightful: cuts off the limbs of a doll
Me:" YES. remove the f l e s h."
It's about enjoying the little things
Ha
Oh my GOSH I can teach Dollightful something- You can dye fabric with WATERCOLOR PAINT!! :D
Wet the fabric you're using, and water down some in-the-tube water color paint (You can use paint from a 'dry' watercolor pallet, but to get any color to show up, you'll need high end stuff, and that's expensive.. you can get tube water colors for much cheaper and get more to use).
"Paint" the fabric with the water color- I don't recommend using a tiedye method, but rather keeping the fabric flat and dabbing on the watered down paint where you want the colors to go, due to the next step. If you paint directly with the stuff from the tube it will be too thick and won't spread out properly. Make sure it's liquidy!
The key to keeping these colors in place (Since, y'know, if watercolor gets wet it will reactivate and run...), you need to do a wash of Fabric Medium over it. Fabric medium is used to make acrylic paints dry more flexible, and be washable in a machine without coming off whatever you decorated.
Your wash should be 1 part fabric medium, 2 parts water. Mix well, and then brush onto your water-colored fabric. This will wash the colors out a bit and make them much more pastel. It will also start to blend the colors together, and you want to get the fabric medium EVERYWHERE.
Allow the fabric to dry- make sure it's on a SUPER flat surface (Like glass-smooth) because any wrinkles will gather color in them where it settles and be permanent marks- this does mean you can put the fabric on top of something with a texture though, and get the texture pattern on the fabric! :D
Once it's dried, you want to heat set it with a hot iron (as hot as whatever the fabric you're using can handle).
VOILA! dyed fabric, that is washable and foldable just like regular fabric!
I used this method on a costume and ended up as a lovely pastel-rainbow themed Little Ace Priding Hood for DragonCon. ;D
If you want more vibrant colors you can use Guache paint instead of watercolor. It tends to be a bit more strong, color-wise, and won't fade out as much when you do the fabric medium wash over it. Using paints also means you can pick and choose from all the colors available- including those teals and pinks.
STAY ARTSY.
