Oh yoooo thats so cool that you sculpted my old blastoise illustration. I appreciate all the crediting for my work, way too many folks "forget" that part.
Omg!!!!! I’m honored!! When I first saw it I immediately had to hunt down whoever drew it like a madman because I just had to see everything else you’ve done (all of it is incredible) If there’s anything else you want me to plug in the description like merch, Patreon, another social media, etc, I’d be happy to do so too! I like knowing my viewers can find you lmaooo
I thought I clicked on a North of The Border video and feared the worst when I didn't hear his voice. Then I heard you say "grundle" and I knew everything was going to be okay. 😂
One big Ole blasty Boi. And realistic like something north of the border would do. This and the color pallet teaser just proved me even more right, It is Adam
If I had a nickel for every model making UA-camr that made a spikey-shelled realistic turtle based off a Nintendo character I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
@@Magikarp_king Nah, she made her channel July 3rd, 2021, but Adam (North of The Border) created his channel July 14th, 2020. If that seemed aggressive, it wasn't intended!
Oh cool a new Crossing Crafts vid. They're always so well made and wholesome and- SWEET MOTHER OF ARCEUS! (this is terrifying , but I think that means you did your job well. The level of detail on this cursed, cursed boy is very impressive)
lil info. the "belly shell" if a turtle is called the plastron and the tof is called the carapase. each plate that makes up the shell is caled a scute :)
Congratulations, after throughly watching through this video at least once, you have managed to make air exit out of my nostrils a little more forcefully than usual.
the skin flaps look SO amazing! plus, the warted tongue is such a great touch! also holy shit the water and barnacles look SO PRETTY! keep up the amazing work!
This is so cool, I can't get the thought out of my head that he could be a massive kaiju sleeping in the ocean with his shell being mistaken for mountains or something
I love how smooth your work is! Some people leave fingerprints and grime in their finished work, but yours look like it could be official merch! Especially with all the details, beautiful painting, and crisp sculpting
Using the netting in conjunction with your lumpy bumpy roller was a brilliant idea! So pleased to see your channel doing so well Diana. Well deserved. Just please tell me that when you're rubbing shoulders with Mr. Beast and sipping on Prime from a champagne flute that you won't forget us little hobby dweebs.
I’m not sure how I didn’t see this earlier, thanks so much Carl! I had to rewatch your light dragon video the other day because it was on my mind and I was even more impressed the second time over!
When this showed up on my recommended page I was like "huh, I don't remember North of the Border uploading a video" and well, I guess I was right in that. Awesome sculpting! Love the cool but also kinda creepy vibe!
AGH A TURTLE!!! I LOVE HOW YOU BASED HIM ON AN ALLIGATOR SNAPPER!! Those are some of the more chunky turtles, so it was a perfect choice for blastoise!!!
Fun fact about alligator snappers tongue: they have a weird worm-like appendage where it should be, so they scuttle to the bottom of the water and open their mouth, waiting for fish to get interested in the worms!!!
Love how this turned out! I would absolutely love to see more realistic pokemon based off of Arvalis's work as well. Their take on pokemon is so stunning, and it's very cool seeing them translated into sculptures like this!
This was such a fun development to see come together. Blastoise is the final evolution of my favorite pokemon, Squirtle, and you've done such an incredible job turning this character into something sort of lifelike. Great work.
Saw the thumbnail and thought I missed a North of the Border video, saw the name and found a new favorite crafter!!!! Love the voiceover and the texturing!
absolutely blown away by how terrific this looks! as i was watching i kept saying to myself "that looks amazing" and it just got better and better!! so impressed 😍
If I didn’t see you sculp those lava rocks, I would’ve thought they were real. Your work is amazing and I’ve now watched all your videos. I’m so, so impressed.
Could you make a video about all of your materials and tools? 👉👈 I’ve r e a l l y want to get into clay, and I really like your process- I just don’t know what kinda of stuff I’m supposed to use to have this kind of workflow and control :)
Thanks for the great video. I was looking around for inspiration for the Krakendress (scale model kit) which I am trying to paint, and I came across this and ended up watching the whole thing. I am looking forward to your next video!
Ive learned 2 things when texturing clay. Use all the acetone and add wrinkles. Oh and make texture rollers. So really 3 things. Wonderful video as always crafting lady.
I always look forward to watching your videos! I saw you posted last night right before I was about to got to sleep and I was so tempted to watch the video then. But I wanted to really be able to sit down and pay attention so I waited until this afternoon and I was not disappointed!
this might be a silly thing to point out , but i love your music choices !! i never hear pokkén tournament music in videos like these . wonderful job on the blastoise !! your attention to detail really makes it perfect ( ＾ω＾ )

Boom. Subscrubbled
Already thereurtle.
if you and North of The Border worked together you could truly make Something Realistic
Are you suggesting Man-Spider wasn't realistic?
You mean a horrific nightmare from the depths of Hell even Lucifer is afraid to go to
IKR! When I saw the title I thought it was north of the border at first
Teenage Mutant Ninja Blastoise, gonna have nightmares thinking about that
You read my mind ❤

Then I heard you say "grundle" and I knew everything was going to be okay. 😂
This has North of The Border vibes in the best way possible, i absolutely love this project!!!
Ngl when I first saw this I thought Adam had dropped a new video LMAO
Me too
@@otyugsdisplacerbeasts7943me too lmao
I don't see it
Yeah me too. From the title and the style to the voice over and even the chapter naming. I'm wondering if it's Adams alter ego?
"started by rolling out some..."
Wormie dealies
"Little tic-tacs"
😮
One big Ole blasty Boi. And realistic like something north of the border would do. This and the color pallet teaser just proved me even more right, It is Adam
This blastoise feels like the dark souls boss of pokemon, I present to you Blastoise of the Kanto Valley
If I had a nickel for every model making UA-camr that made a spikey-shelled realistic turtle based off a Nintendo character I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Yeah Shes literally just a female North of the Border 😂🥰
@@TheAutisticPokedexor is north of the border a male version of her? The world may never know.
@@TheAutisticPokedex shes a woman who gives a fuck about her sex
@@Magikarp_kingevery clay youtuber is north of the border with a diff voice changer. Its true i am the clay
@@Magikarp_king Nah, she made her channel July 3rd, 2021, but Adam (North of The Border) created his channel July 14th, 2020.
If that seemed aggressive, it wasn't intended!
"Biblically accurate turtle eyes" is a brilliant sentence that I'm glad I got to hear
You, Studson and North are the holy trinity I swear to god
THIS.
North of the- uhm oops… new CrossingCrafts video!
I have a long way to go before I can be not just good, but, good enough
But the tiny nerdy things are tiny-ing and nerdy-ing
@@CrossingCrafts he’s definitely not a better sculptor than you are. Just look at what you made 👍
@@moda78zdude, thats making fun of a youtuber, shouldve said they are both as good
@@guzzlordguy5991How was what they said remotely offensive to the other UA-camr?
I think you need to reread what they said
Oh cool a new Crossing Crafts vid. They're always so well made and wholesome and- SWEET MOTHER OF ARCEUS!
(this is terrifying , but I think that means you did your job well. The level of detail on this cursed, cursed boy is very impressive)
The details are giving me the creeps! All those tiny crevices, the wrinkles... ewww! Amazing!
I saw that title pop up on my notifications and knew I had to watch now. I love these kinds of sculpting 😂
Throughout the whole process I didn't know if I should be impressed or horrified
lil info. the "belly shell" if a turtle is called the plastron and the tof is called the carapase. each plate that makes up the shell is caled a scute :)
Congratulations, after throughly watching through this video at least once, you have managed to make air exit out of my nostrils a little more forcefully than usual.
I feel like I’ve just been knighted by the leader of a powerful country
@CrossingCrafts it is a great honor.
the skin flaps look SO amazing! plus, the warted tongue is such a great touch! also holy shit the water and barnacles look SO PRETTY! keep up the amazing work!
Finally I found a person who actually talks when they make their sculptures so I don't have to watch north of the borders videos all over again
This is so cool, I can't get the thought out of my head that he could be a massive kaiju sleeping in the ocean with his shell being mistaken for mountains or something
Imagine he's there for so long sediment builds up on his shell, then people and pokemon begin to live on his back like in an Asian fantasy.
Knowing snapping turtles, he definitely spent too long submerged, long enough for at least a village to be constructed on top of his shell.

What a fun tiny nerdy thing!
Your texturing work is amazing!
I love how smooth your work is! Some people leave fingerprints and grime in their finished work, but yours look like it could be official merch! Especially with all the details, beautiful painting, and crisp sculpting
this is amazing! what a detailed sculpture, this was very enjoyable to watch come together. your commentary is great!
dude, the texturing part was insane. really tied it all together. amazing!
It looked good before, but wow the texture really brought it to life! Great work as always!
Using the netting in conjunction with your lumpy bumpy roller was a brilliant idea! So pleased to see your channel doing so well Diana. Well deserved. Just please tell me that when you're rubbing shoulders with Mr. Beast and sipping on Prime from a champagne flute that you won't forget us little hobby dweebs.

this is incredible and so satisfying to watch 😲 the texturing especially like holy heck that's a beautiful crunchly boy right there
Man, I love your voiceovers! You're too good at what you do!
The textures on this piece are amazing! Making the little rollers was genius.
AGH A TURTLE!!! I LOVE HOW YOU BASED HIM ON AN ALLIGATOR SNAPPER!! Those are some of the more chunky turtles, so it was a perfect choice for blastoise!!!
Fun fact about alligator snappers tongue: they have a weird worm-like appendage where it should be, so they scuttle to the bottom of the water and open their mouth, waiting for fish to get interested in the worms!!!
This is both horrifying and interesting, thank you for sharing
Amazing job, he looks so good!! The water effects really add so much, I love it 🤩
Its so Nice to see you grow as a content creator and devellop your skills as an artiest ❤
I’m glad you’re enjoying!!!
The sheer amount of talent is *STAGGERING,* this is so well made omg.
A realistic model of my favorite pokemon made in a way that reminds me of North of the Border. I'm definitely instantly subscribing
Best Gen 1 starter, I will take no arguments.
Great sculpture and video, as always!
So cool! I love seeing you tackle more realistic sculptures!
Love how this turned out! I would absolutely love to see more realistic pokemon based off of Arvalis's work as well. Their take on pokemon is so stunning, and it's very cool seeing them translated into sculptures like this!
Eve, you really got something special here.
Please continue with those sculptures

This was such a fun development to see come together. Blastoise is the final evolution of my favorite pokemon, Squirtle, and you've done such an incredible job turning this character into something sort of lifelike. Great work.
Wow the dedication in the texturing was phenomenal. The shell looks especially cool.
Wow! The amount of detail and work you put into this is incredible! It looks amazing!
such a cool and effective pose and the texturing work is stunning :00 especially around the shell. Loved watching this!
I LOVE HIM HE DESERVES MUCH LETTUCE
This looks so cool! I really love the barnacle cannons, what a great idea.
Saw the thumbnail and thought I missed a North of the Border video, saw the name and found a new favorite crafter!!!!
Love the voiceover and the texturing!
You're VERY good with sculpting details and keeping things cohesive. Great job man!
incredible work as always! that lizard skin roller was genius
absolutely blown away by how terrific this looks! as i was watching i kept saying to myself "that looks amazing" and it just got better and better!! so impressed 😍
hi, love your work. I really liked how the brush strokes from the alchole looked like more rinkels
the smoothing part just scratches my brain and soothes my soul
You have a great array of skills as well as foresight and overall execution. Subscribed.
If I didn’t see you sculp those lava rocks, I would’ve thought they were real. Your work is amazing and I’ve now watched all your videos. I’m so, so impressed.
you NEED to make this a series ! anyways, magnificent work like always ^^
very cool but also very scary lol. Love the idea of barnacles in place of his blasters!
His stare is,,, haunting
10:00 THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU GAVE ME A IDEA/SOLUTION TO A WOOD PROJECT IVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH FOR WEEKS ALMOST MONTHS
This is amazing and the commentary is informative and fun. New subscurtle!
This looks not just good, but good enough.
All jokes aside great job on this guy, this a huge project with a lot of parts and you killed it!
First vid of yours for me!
Nice job and I especially liked your custom texture rollers.
Could you make a video about all of your materials and tools? 👉👈
I’ve r e a l l y want to get into clay, and I really like your process- I just don’t know what kinda of stuff I’m supposed to use to have this kind of workflow and control :)
That looks absolutely amazing!
I also like the parts where you had to laugh in your script
The textures look awesome, you did a amazing job!😄
Awesome sculpt!!! You definitely captured the realism ❤😊❤
i got wayyy too excited to see this pop up in my notifications - horrifying end result! truly lovely work ❤️
Such an incredible attention to detail, another beautiful sculpt!
So happy to have a new upload from you!
Niiice. Also I really like your editing & the length of the video.
This looks sooo cool i love all the detail
I love that he's an alligator snapping turtle. They're adorable (at least in my opinion). I just love their little faces ❤
"I like the water!" (Margot, age 10)
"He is SO cute!" (Earnie, age 8)
I had to check the channel name because I thought this was north of the border.
This sculpture is so good. I love him so much 😍
The skill that went into this is actually insane. Sincerely hoping for more realistic pocket monsters in the future 💕
I thought this was a notb video before i looked at the poster. Very cool to find a new sculptor to watch!!
Reasons to follow:
1: Pokemon.
2: Alligator Snapping Turtle.
3: Good advice to conquer your fears.
This is terrifying and I'm absolutely obsessed. I need you and NotB to do a collab
Thanks for the great video. I was looking around for inspiration for the Krakendress (scale model kit) which I am trying to paint, and I came across this and ended up watching the whole thing. I am looking forward to your next video!
Never watched a sculpting video until now, just watched the entire 24 mins.. great job.
If blastoise actually looked this cool he’d be the most popular starter by far. Your work is awesome!
woah thought this was north of the border from the thumbnail. looks cool so far!\
Ive learned 2 things when texturing clay. Use all the acetone and add wrinkles. Oh and make texture rollers. So really 3 things. Wonderful video as always crafting lady.
I love this so much! Your art is amazing! ^_^
This is so great, I really enjoy your work 🤣
thats really great! I watch a lot of Boy hobby time and north and you are def up there with them. Great job! New sub
The resin running down his arms looks amazing!!
She is definitely the female version of north of the border!!!I love it !
Just stumbled upon your channel, already love it!!
He came out fantastic! The dripping water was such a nice touch
Great job! kinda expected to see a cloaca under his tail, I guess he reminds me of my bearded dragon lizard and his lizard butt! 😂
I am so happy to find your channel! Idk what else to say except.. I’m so happy to find your channel hehehe 😅
Gosh i love this. RJ Palmer is an amazing artist and you bringing his little guy to life is such a treasure ❤
glad i found your channel, its like NOTB but not 8 minute vids
ive got a fever atm, very comforting video. thank you!
he looks Amazing!!!!!!
Get better soon!!
Underrated video this is so freaking cool!
I always look forward to watching your videos! I saw you posted last night right before I was about to got to sleep and I was so tempted to watch the video then. But I wanted to really be able to sit down and pay attention so I waited until this afternoon and I was not disappointed!
Oh! I've only ever seen people use IPA for smoothing clay and I'm allergic to IPA. I will definitely keep the acetone in mind for my next project.
ahh, great relaxing video after my first day at a new job, exactly what I needed!
this might be a silly thing to point out , but i love your music choices !! i never hear pokkén tournament music in videos like these . wonderful job on the blastoise !! your attention to detail really makes it perfect ( ＾ω＾ )
I’m so glad you like them!!
I’m actually livid that this hasn’t blown tf up. Truly talented, great job!!
Also, how long did this all take??
