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!!
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!!!
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
every single video she comes out with she just tops her last doll. I grow more and more impressed with the progression of this doll channel- she’s so extremely talented! it truly inspires me.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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".
@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?
I'm watching this in 2020 and I think you mean was filled with life the ocean was filled with life the Earth was filled with life keyword was dang it 2020 I hate you
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 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.
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.
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
i love coming back to this video so much, it means the world to hear they/them pronouns being used to casually and makes me feel a lot better about my pronouns
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 they could be something like older sibling to every other dragon doll (except for Terra, she's dragon mama) but not that grumby type of older sibling but this cool that takes you to colour festival in Thailand, pays for your donuts and will run away with you from police but if you cry they'll be there for you and I love them even more with every second
I like the idea that they're a sorta intense person who'll just be like "Hey, wanna do crime?" and a sort of anti-hero who gets character development later on
My headcannon for this doll is that they are actually shy cuz they're so tall and thus makes them clumsy on land, while in water they're more confident
I like to think that they'll be best friends with the fire dragon and that Tera acts as a mother figure to Zephie while Nyx and Aurora share a common interest but bicker
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
aquarien gives me so much gender comfort as a nonbinary person, and i always come back to this video because i just love them so much 💖 thank you dollightful
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! 💕
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)
As a sculptor of ball jointed dolls myself I'm impressed! You managed to make it very posable and overall extremely expressive, that's genuinely hard to pull off, so it's an amazing first try in my book!
Every once and a while I get frustrated that I haven’t been able to watch a new video of yours in a while. And then you make a new one and I remember how hard you work on these dolls and how much effort you put into each and every one. And why it takes so long to make. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s a reason you’re my favorite doll artist. And it’s because some how you manage to make each and every doll better then the last. Keep doing what you’re doing and being your amazing talented self. This doll is stunning.
Thank you so much; I appreciate it. I do wish I could make videos more frequently, but I am already working at %100. If only there were more hours in the day! Hehe. Thank you so much for watching.
Honestly with the quality, love, & effort that she's putting into these dolls she's pumping them out pretty quick! In my opinion would probably take me a few months to get a doll of that quality done. ((Then again she's more used to making dolls than me, and my skill level would have to increase quite a bit before I could get started for reals )) Regardless she still does pop these out rather quickly for how hard she works on em.
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.
I like how humble she is. She never brags or boasts about being a professional or expert, and acknowledges the greater skill levels others may have without comparing her work to theirs in a negative way.
@@withering_rose_thorne yes and without making it a big deal. Aquarian is enby, juwon and tatsuo are a gay couple but kathrine never blew that out of proportion like it was revolutionary or something.
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
One day dollightful is just,,, gonna make her own dolls... like “here’s this cool doll we’re using as a base, except we aren’t going to need that” and fricken yeets it into the trash can Dollightful then: Hehe I paint pretty face Dollightful now: Hehe I chop legs Dollightful later: Rise, my children-
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
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 know that these dragon dolls take a lot out of you, but I really don’t want it to be the end of the series with the fire dragon. I was thinking of other elements you make such as: ice, light, electric, venom, storm, and so on. You are such an amazing dragon doll maker and I just don’t want it to end I guess
Dolightful: "I stick another wire through the thighs." My mum who's not quite listening: "You what?!" Edit: Ah! 404 likes?! This is the most I've ever gotten! Yay!
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!
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.
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
I just realisted that you made the doll genderless. Instead of saying he or she you said they witch I thought was new in your art work. This is also the first doll you made with out a head of hair😁
100% my favorite doll I adore everything about this doll down to the ball joints, fantastic colors, and even the cute little suction bits on their feeties!! I love everything!!!!!
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 💜

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 💜💛🤍🖤
One day dollightful is just,,, gonna make her own dolls... like “here’s this cool doll we’re using as a base, except we aren’t going to need that” and fricken yeets it into the trash can
Dollightful then: Hehe I paint pretty face
Dollightful now: Hehe I chop legs
Dollightful later: Rise, my children-
Lol exactly😆
Yes
“Hehe, I chop legs.”
I also chop my dolls legies U-U
YASSSSS 👑👑👑👑
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

@gothiiispiderz EGG?!........

Dollightful: they’re giving me Florida vibes
Me: breaking news! Florida dragon breaks into kiddie pool, becomes a pool float for the kids
😂🤣😂😆🤣 awesome. May the Lord bless the person who made this comment.

I want a dragon pool float!
Samantha Akins rides it to europe, robs a bank
Dragon then eats the pool
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 know that these dragon dolls take a lot out of you, but I really don’t want it to be the end of the series with the fire dragon. I was thinking of other elements you make such as: ice, light, electric, venom, storm, and so on. You are such an amazing dragon doll maker and I just don’t want it to end I guess
So, basically the Pokémon types
Wait, Dollightful is ending her channel?
@that's just sappiness, sweetheart
no, i think they meant the end of the dragon series

me: *literally here to watch all that*
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!
Zephie, flying over to Terra: They did it again
Terra: *sighs loudly and goes to untangle Aquarian from the mangrove roots*
i am vibing i love this so much
Someone should make them into a comic
I would literally pay someone to make that

@@lavender_playzyt8822 I think they meant the paint lmao
I live in Northern Idaho, and have already been in a lake multiple times this year, I wish it was warmer up here ( like in Florida)
my neighbor has a bright yellow house lmao
[ p u t i n a e v a ] shes joking-
This doll is 75% made by hand. I appreciate that she put in so much work for a hobby.
Also making a non-binary doll
I think she does UA-cam full time so this would probably be her work.
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.
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
No
I think that with BOTH cat and dog hair since I have three of each of those two XD
lol my cat is on my rn
Dollightfull: Ive only used these paints once
Mai tai: Am I a joke to you
Oh yeah!! Haha xD

Is it weird that I imagine aquarien being able to change colours like an octopus or cuttlefish?
Yo, that would be so cool!
I incorporated your idea into a head cannon comment about Aquarien being genderFLUID (:
They seem like they'd change and hide as a method of jumping out and scaring people, or making jokes.
@@creekc4057 me, a genderfluid person that loved dad jokes: *aggressively likes* :)
HEADCANON ACCEPTED
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
The new Monster High dolls wish they have what Aquarien has
They DO wish and can ONLY wish😂😂
If they did I would buy so many more
You mean actual quality? Monster high dolls and the show have become so generic and boring now. They used to be so much better
Ikr
@@orionperseus3686 I know! After a while they just got so boringand they keep remaking the same dolls just in different outfits and hairstyles
I can't believe I've been subscribed for almost a year. I'm not even interested in doll customizing at all. Your content is just awesome
Thanks for watching! :D

zWildz ah a Nerdycrafter fan
I really want to get into doll customizing and make zodiac themed pokemon dolls!
"Their."
I have never been happier in my entire life- although I'm not nonbinary I still appreciate that.
I was so happy too!!
Omg I am so happy as well! Where are my non-binary peeps at?
I know right I practically squealed when she said “their”
I’m a trans masc (I think idk, I use he/they) and it made me so happy 😭

Can we appreciate how genuinely beautiful this doll is? It’s amazing :0
I just realisted that you made the doll genderless. Instead of saying he or she you said they witch I thought was new in your art work. This is also the first doll you made with out a head of hair😁
Technically it isn’t the first,jade (I think that’s the name) has no hair,just it doesn’t look like it because of the hood
@@calmfishrobot Jade's still supposed to be female though. Having short hair isn't necessarily an indicator of one's gender...
@@Chicag-no theyre not talking about the gender, theyre saying that this doll wasn't the first to go without hair.
hyxng exactly (I’m just bad at explaining)
Good point! I didnt even realize that.
100% my favorite doll
I adore everything about this doll down to the ball joints, fantastic colors, and even the cute little suction bits on their feeties!! I love everything!!!!!
I love how her hand just swoops on in and grabs she-ra
Dollightful: Come here!
She-ra: no No NO!
It's fine! Perfectly fine. We're just gonna tear you into pieces and make you bigger and better. 😂
@@Butterpony 10000000%
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
