The doll is honestly beautiful and seeing those "it broke" moments made me sad. One thing that I think you should have done was use fabric paint for the tail because acrylics aren't meant to be soft and bendable when they dry unlike fabric paint.
the last "it broke" had me chuckle loudly, merciless me XD i mean, i saw it coming and i was surprised the nose didn't come off earlier, during the dye bath.
I think this doll is soooooo awesome...but I agree that there is something off. I stared at it for a while. I think ( just to me at lest ) that the concept arts face looks very kind, calm and reserved. The dolls face looks more ready, attentive and energetic. With the astrology side of the theme, I imagine that she would spend a lot of time alone at night doing star stuff, quietly with fire flies to keep her company. I love the wings ever with a bit of poof. The body is outstanding! I think what I feel off about is the face. That's just my thoughts. 💙
I agree! For most of the video I thought she used the concept art for the thumbnail! I think the doll turned out beautiful and it’s light years better than Nova and that’s saying something because honestly I liked Nova!
i know she was talking about how she didn’t like the wings because of how blanket like they are, but honestly i enjoy it! it adds more to the peaceful side of the dark, it reminds me of the whole blanket protecting children from what lurks in the dark!
“I’m not satisfied.” As an artist I think I can figure out why. There was things that went wrong and broke or didn't go as planned. You create this vision in your head of what you want something to look like but it just doesn't turn out the way you want it too. Believe me, recently I made an art piece and I had such a good vision for it but so much went wrong making it, by the end I didn't like it. It be like that sometimes. Just like Nova you can always go back and fix it, nothing wrong with that! Just know while you may not enjoy what art you created, others will! :)
That is exactly the way I see this. As an artist, you do envision this wonderful piece and when you go to create it, it fights back. Thing break, colors run or fade, adhesives fail, the sculpt doesn't turn out properly, the list goes on and on. It's so disappointing to make a piece of art and not be satisfied with it.
The hot glue seeping out would actually be a super cool effect on a fire/lava dragon! It reminds me of the magma that oozes out of volcanoes Edit: the stage after fixing the hot glue with apoxy also looks super cool! Like a gemstore or rock
@@briand7381 Magma(not to be confused with the pokemon Magmar, Magby, or Magmortar) is lava that is still beneath the ground, and has not yet surfaced. Lava and Magma are both the same thing, except one is underground and one is above ground.
The doll is amazing, and I actually like the way the wings are, they give off a kinda sheet of the night vibe like how in Fantasia where (Morpheus?) brings on the night by draping a big blanket over the world...
After rewatching this, the fabric tail is actually not bad when its scrunched up. It gives off a way that makes it act like skin. Same thing with Vaporion (bad spelling) it gives it the effect of skin and it looks amazing!
I feel like she just doesn't like the space themed dolls that she creates. Maybe it's because space is like a very broad topic and it's very hard to nail it all in one piece. Idk really
I agree idc how long it takes just as long as your happy with it if your happy with it I am too an ur dis satisfied with it 😖 ur joking right I am pretty sure this is your best creation yet HOW ARE YOU DISSATISFIED Ì LOVE IT

Dollightful: *doesn’t like the doll she made and is hard on herself* Me: why is this so freaking amazing. This has watered my crops and cleansed my skin.
Honestly, I feel like all of the breakages were almost apt for a dark themed doll. She' imperfect and broken and spooky, perfect for someone dark. She' also absolutely beautiful and well worth the wait.
#Lilac_Squad hehe I was think about dollightful this morning, I went out with my friend and saw that she had posted, I didn’t watch it then because I usually watch Dollightful with my baby brother (he finds doll repaint videos awesome and Dollightful has a really cheerful personality so she keeps him entertained)
same i would love to see longer vids plus that doll is in my opinion this was the best dragon of the series an would love to get any doll with a face up for dollightful{the face ups make the doll personally}
It’s been three years and I still love this doll so much. Her Greek nose makes her so unique compared to the other dolls. I’d love to see more unique noses in the future as they give a face such fun character. ❤️
"i'm dissatisfied" me *gazes in awe at how beautiful this doll is, hoping that one day i will have created something as amazing* dont be so hard on urself, this doll is a work of art, and maybe you didnt acheive what you wanted, but every person watching this right now is probably thinking that same thing, " wow"

While being critical and being dissatisfied with the work does help with improving yourself never having confidence in your work can be detrimental as well. It is a long way to go but I'm sure every artist will get there. But I have to agree with you this doll looks incredible!
Phoenix14 This doll is 10 times better than anything that I could make, but if she knows that she could have made something that's 11 or 12 times better, then she's right to be dissatisfied.
I’m so glad you went with Nyx/Greek mythology as inspiration! As a Greek mythology fanatic I believe their embodiment of dark is super cool. A quiet and mysterious beauty whose wisdom knows no limits. As mother of the three fates, she’s clearly a powerful and intelligent figure.
My boyfriend said “This is one of the best dolls she’s ever made- DISSATISFIED?! She’s DEFINITELY being too hard on herself.” Wanted to let you know because he’s quick to nag about what I’m watching 😂 This doll is beautiful and so creative. We also wouldn’t mind longer videos if that wouldn’t be too much filming/editing for you! ❤️
I love this doll and all her wrinkles. They give her way more life and personality than she'd have otherwise. Sometimes the imperfections just add to that hand made charm.
when you showed the whole doll in the dark the first thing that ran through my mind is how she looks like one of those creatures that uses lights to entrance its prey, mysterious and slightly dangerous. I love herrrrrr
This person is honestly an engineer. Like when I first started watching their videos I was like ooh! Dolls! And promptly became fascinated with the processes and problem solving that ties in to this kind of art. Very cool
Me: dollighful hasn’t posted a doll in a bit I hope she’s ok Me: (sees the beautiful animation, the fantastic design, incredible body mods, amazing wings etc) oh never mind this was definitely worth the wait
I love the way her third eye looks like a gem in light, but when it's dark, the way it glows with her other 2 eyes is just- really pretty, and it shows that it's also an eye. I also love the way the stars and moon above her head glow in the dark as well. She's just really pretty overall. Especially the starry fabric on her wings.
I’m a 57 years young and my grand daughter soon to 9 who is super talented we just watched this together I thoroughly enjoyed this, you are amazing and talented.
i think the doll look awsome if i tried to do that i would have failed big time i like it. The doll also kinda reminds me of maleficent just galaxy themed and that makes it cool to think about
Dollightfull makes a beautiful doll Me: How did she do that # if i tried that it would look like trash Like how????????? Teach me and i still wont be as good as you dollightful your dolls are so amazing like HOW??????? how did you do it?????? your so talented... I think you did a very very very infinite very good job!!!!! i love your dollls so so so much there all so cool.... Me: How?!?!? mine compared to yours......................mine trash hers beautiful me speechless.
Anette, I hope you're a troll, right? Why do you keep hating on this doll so much? If you dont like it, thats your opinion, but you dont have to mush it in other peoples faces. Its enough with one comment on how much you dislike this doll. Have a good day/night:)
Exactly. The parts when together may have made a different impression on her than she expected. I also dont think she loves galaxy as a design, & couldn't get in the zone, etc.. couldn't bond with the doll. That clouds her from seeing her for what she is. I do that with art sometimes too. But either way not every projects ends up being what you want, even when you try as hard as you can. And that's ok! 🤗 I really love the colors of the doll, the horns are amazing, & I like the rope design tied around the waist.
Nova, meeting Nyx: So what's your story? Nyx: Well I was the second in the series, space themed, supposed to b a very wise character, and turned out to be dissapointing. Nova: Oh my gosh same! Nyx: We can be the middle child twins. Nova: Totally! *Cut to them getting coffee and being besties*
I believe Nyx’s mistakes also play into the dark elements, as sometimes mistakes are considered bad and therefore dark? If that makes sense, I love her and think she’s very beautiful :)
Going back and watching these I realize how much I REALLY like 2-A design, you probably won’t even see this but if you were to think of making maybe gem/rock characters I Luke absolutely love to see 2-A come to life
I definitely think you're overthinking this. I love this doll re-paint and I think she came out looking amazing! She looks mystical, mysterious, sly, intelligent, and powerful, all at once! My one critique is about the tail, cause I agree with you that it would have been better to print out a custom fabric. But I think everything else turned out wonderfully! Despite some of the hiccups along the way, I think she stands out in great way and really gives off a "dark enchantress" vibe that I'm very fond of. You did great on this one!
I agree with Mimzy66. Artists are their worst critics and you are being very hard on yourself. Nyx came out beautiful and I believe you've captured your artwork very well. Another outstanding custom doll down. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
I wasn’t a big fan of Nyx when the video first came out but after rewatching it I like her a lot more then before. She’s a beautiful doll and captures the theme of dark very well
"Is this another Nova situation?" I don't think so! Even though a lot of things went "it broke", I think the end result is pretty awesome! The sum is better than the parts, I would say
Everyone has already said what needs to be said re: your dissatisfaction with this doll but I'm just going to say one thing. I loved this video so much because it showcased trial and error, learning from mistakes, inventing new techniques, reflecting on issues and perseverance. despite all your hiccups you still produced a gorgeous doll. I'm blown away by your abilities to stay the course and just finishing a project alone is a triumph, even without things going wrong. You honestly inspire me, and i think i'm not alone when I say that a lot of people will see this as an encouraging video. So many people get overwhelmed as beginners when they see people with a lot of experience bringing out incredible works every time. What they often fail to see is the amount of work, time and patience that goes into producing these things. and i mean that in the grand scheme of things. you can't compare your beginners work to an expert, it will never work out well for you. but while you did create a beautiful end result (i'll keep saying it), watching you work through the issues and still finish gives me such inspiration to work on my projects! it shows that these hiccups are not exclusive to me, that even someone with such experience can have bad experiences with their projects every so often. it is weirdly humbling. I've tried doll mods before but I've never finished a project because i've been faced with hiccups and i have just put the project down and just.. never came back to them. so yeh you've inspired me so much. also heck yes using dye to colour doll skin is BRILLIANT! I am a little surprised I hadn't thought of that before but I definitely want to test that technique out! as for the wings, i wonder whether it would have been a better idea to glue the wrong sides together, rather than sewing them. May not have been as flexible but that kind of material does not fray, so you would have gotten a really smooth result i think. but I don't think they look as bad as you feel that they do. the fabric was the perfect background for the galaxy wings!
Just like Nova, she's of my favorite dolls now. Every quote-unquote "mistake doll" you make, is beautiful! You shouldn't put yourself down over this project! She's amazing!
“Dissatisfied” What?!?!? This is probably one of my favorite dolls from you. I can understand your frustration as a creator with her, because of all of the mistakes and fails in the process, but I feel that those give her more personality. She may not be your ‘cleanest’ doll, but their is something about her that’s very entrancing. There is a lot of complexity, yet she isn’t cluttered, everything on her ended up pulling through to create a very well crafted character. Don’t feel dissatisfied by reasons you can’t specifically name. She is a lovely doll, don’t let yourself tell you otherwise.
man, rewatching this i can't believe i didn't realize that the first two dragons are named after the roman goddess of dawn (aurora) and greek goddess of night (nyx) and honestly i love that so much
i really like her. aesthetically she’s very pleasing and the wings are actually super pretty. i‘m sorry that there were so many mishaps, but nonetheless she’s a beautiful doll!
As artists, we are always hardest on ourselves. This is honestly one of my favorite dolls you've ever done. It seems so real in a way others haven't. I am a devout of the velveteen rabbit mythos; the more worn down and broken, the more real a thing is, so perhaps I love this doll more for its broken parts. Keep doing what you do (so well). I am always inspired and calmed by watching your process. Thank you
Just rewatching the dragon series and realizing how much influence I took from them for my first sculpture, her horn shape and Terra’s half tree half rock leg design. Which is impressive because my first sculpture was of a mythical deer.
is that a bad thing tho? some artists arent like that tho. some actually enjoy their own artworks, while some have issues accepting their abilities and arent pleased with the end results. :/
Your videos really inspire me to create! I watch them whenever I feel like drawing and they make great background noise. I really love how it turned out despite thinking a thematically dark dragon doll would have looked good. I like the space feel she gives! So cool!
At 29:51... "Is this another Nova situation?!" Me: NO "Is she really as bad as I am making her out to be?!" Me: NOO! "Am I thinking to hard about this?!" Me: NOOO! I MEAN, YEAHH!
I can imagine why she's thinking that. The project went wrong in many places, which left her annoyed and sad. That's why she is not satisfied. And also, she ended up rushing the doll after things started going wrong. You can clearly see the difference in the amount of efforts in the previous dragon doll and this one, because she started feeling bad about this doll, even though this doll takes my breath away
“i’m very dissatisfied” I LOVE THIS DOLL SHES ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THR STRUGGLES GIVE HER SO MUCH MORE OF A STORY. i actually like the cracks... she’s a dark dragon so it kinda looks like she’s been through battle or something like battle scars! you always manage to outdo yourself i love you Katherine!
This is the most gorgeous doll I’ve ever seen! Seriously, I’d love to have a doll exactly like this, because she’s everything I find beautiful and mystical about the dark night sky. You may not have liked how she turned out, but I would have been thrilled at how lovely she is, especially with the glow in the dark stars and eyes!
Nyx is my favourite dragon of this series, I feel like she’s the mom of the group and they go to her for advice cuz she’s the wisest, sure she’s not perfect but last I checked no one is and her imperfections add character
Omg yeeees it makes me so sad that katherine disliked her so much I think shes perfect and I love the folding thing in her tail that katherine didn't like. It's so pretty 💜🖤💜
She kinda isn’t the mom so if she is the mom she’ll forget thing really fast and she will work on potions with aurara and she’ll help terry with the plants and I think she will live in the exzact place ruvs and Sarvs daughter and son live in but portals and floating screens so she can work on the potions and make the moon go down right after her and terry plant the plants
No lie the moment I saw the name I immediately thought, "I'm gonna love this" and I did. Congrats on unintentionally winning me over with Greek Mythology.
i actually love the quilted look of her wings, it's like she's forcing realty rifts to bind to her will to show constellations and stars. she's wonderful and i especially love her legs and claws. i think your dissatisfaction comes from some of the many conceptual failures and struggles you had while making this doll. Instead you need to look at the results, shes a wonderful and very much loved doll. this is not a Nova situation. this is a artist misjudging their work because it didn't go as smoothly as normal work goes situation. Keep your chin up and continue your work, i love seeing dragons!
I agree. I think its just a frustration with adapting concepts and the limitation of the medium, or knowledge of mediums that can translate into the vision. I completely understand that feeling. I think what helps is considering the mediums you woul use and what effects you want as you are making the concept art. Not that you shouldnt try to push yourself, your knowledge etc. But the claw thing was a great example of getting the similar idea by structurally going a different route and succeeding. It was an engineering issue at that point that she could overcome. But you can only come up against so many of those in one project and find a successful solution for so many. So sometimes you have to dial the challenges back for one project, or you find yourself disastisfied with the results because the entire thing was a struggle and a ton of experimentation. You end up looking at her like shes a Manny in disguise rather than having affection for a manny that really challenged you but doesnt pretend to be completed or a success. And with a project that has a lot of experimentations, sometimes it better to lean into the results of failure and work with them, rather than trying to ressist and cover them up, which is difficult when you have exact concept art you are trying reproduce, rather than relying loosely on a concept. Like that discoloration with the dyes creates a pretty cool effect that you could lean into. Might have been cool to make a proto nyx with all the failed experimentations and come back to the concept art again at antoher time when you are armoured with the knowledge of how to do those ideas effectively, at east as effectively as you imagine is possible. oh and the glue seeping. Reminded me a bit of frankie stien and how that might be useful at some point when making a zombie horror doll with seeping seams.

The doll is honestly beautiful and seeing those "it broke" moments made me sad. One thing that I think you should have done was use fabric paint for the tail because acrylics aren't meant to be soft and bendable when they dry unlike fabric paint.
Also, it's easier to paint white fabric black than black fabric light blue. I still love this doll more than the design.
There's a medium for acrylics so you can use them for fabrics. It's pretty handy.
the last "it broke" had me chuckle loudly, merciless me XD
i mean, i saw it coming and i was surprised the nose didn't come off earlier, during the dye bath.
@@Ysckemia I had a funny feeling about the last it broke part
YES I 10000000% agree

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Don’t put yourself down. She is in my opinion one of the coolest dolls I’ve ever seen.
You should see some of her others they’re rlly cool 🙂

Also I’m starting to realize dollightful’s kryptonite is space designs.
But they still come out beautiful
Omg, it is! Noooo i love them all though!
TheBestSock absolutely! I love them all!
I guess it is because we know so little about the Space and there are so many things she could work with
imako no her harajuku dolls come out really good! She never has to change them like she did for nova.
The doll is amazing, and I actually like the way the wings are, they give off a kinda sheet of the night vibe like how in Fantasia where (Morpheus?) brings on the night by draping a big blanket over the world...
I really like how solid they are too, like it wraps around you and stops you from escaping
After rewatching this, the fabric tail is actually not bad when its scrunched up. It gives off a way that makes it act like skin. Same thing with Vaporion (bad spelling) it gives it the effect of skin and it looks amazing!

when you showed the whole doll in the dark the first thing that ran through my mind is how she looks like one of those creatures that uses lights to entrance its prey, mysterious and slightly dangerous. I love herrrrrr
Jasmine Carson oooohhh deep sea mer-creature for SURE would be an amazing project in the future

This person is honestly an engineer. Like when I first started watching their videos I was like ooh! Dolls! And promptly became fascinated with the processes and problem solving that ties in to this kind of art. Very cool
Despite how many times she broke or was messed up, I thought the doll looked absolutely beautiful
Anette Kvarstad and nobody thinks you’re beautiful. Have a nice day! ✌️😘
@Anette Kvarstad Okay? That's your opinion
@Anette Kvarstad Why? Cause I called you out in your other toxic comments? Kk
@Anette Kvarstad Oh no I'm so scared of a 9 year old :( imagine being this pressed over opinions holy crap
@Anette Kvarstad lmao stop threatening people with something that you obviously can't do. You aren't scary, stop trying to act like you are.
I rather like the folds in the tail!! If you’ve ever seen scaleless snakes or salamanders, they’re all wrinkly when they move too!
I completely agree! It makes it much more realistic, and personally, I think it adds some character to make her different from the other dragons.
That’s sooooo true! 😃
Snakes in general get wrinkles when they move so I agree it makes it look realistic!
I have a snake and when I got him the first thing I noticed was that he wrinkled
@@r3m221 awww! What kind of snake?

YES.
She hasn't posted because it takes a long time for her to make a doll

Ok. This, all jokes aside, is the prettiest doll I’ve ever seen.
Honestly o cant say if this is the preetiest doll but i do like it
I love the way her third eye looks like a gem in light, but when it's dark, the way it glows with her other 2 eyes is just- really pretty, and it shows that it's also an eye. I also love the way the stars and moon above her head glow in the dark as well. She's just really pretty overall. Especially the starry fabric on her wings.
“It broke” Every time it turned to grey, I felt your pain 😭😭 But this doll turned out so well despite the issues!!
Something to remember:
No person is perfect, we shouldn't make dolls perfect either. I love it and it's imperfections.

Nyx: is stunning and so visually interesting and different
Dollightful: did I disappoint you guys
Us: are we looking at the same doll cause wow
Natalie Nyx really is a beautiful doll. We love your work, your dolls are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I agree
i think the doll look awsome if i tried to do that i would have failed big time i like it. The doll also kinda reminds me of maleficent just galaxy themed and that makes it cool to think about
Dollightfull makes a beautiful doll Me: How did she do that # if i tried that it would look like trash
Like how????????? Teach me and i still wont be as good as you dollightful your dolls are so amazing like HOW??????? how did you do it?????? your so talented... I think you did a very very very infinite very good job!!!!! i love your dollls so so so much there all so cool.... Me: How?!?!? mine compared to yours......................mine trash hers beautiful me speechless.
Agreed she is my Favorite
I think your recognition of the fact that mistakes were made warped your overall perception of the finished product, she is gorgeous.
Anette, I hope you're a troll, right? Why do you keep hating on this doll so much? If you dont like it, thats your opinion, but you dont have to mush it in other peoples faces. Its enough with one comment on how much you dislike this doll. Have a good day/night:)
Exactly. The parts when together may have made a different impression on her than she expected. I also dont think she loves galaxy as a design, & couldn't get in the zone, etc.. couldn't bond with the doll. That clouds her from seeing her for what she is. I do that with art sometimes too. But either way not every projects ends up being what you want, even when you try as hard as you can. And that's ok! 🤗
I really love the colors of the doll, the horns are amazing, & I like the rope design tied around the waist.
Nova, meeting Nyx: So what's your story?
Nyx: Well I was the second in the series, space themed, supposed to b a very wise character, and turned out to be dissapointing.
Nova: Oh my gosh same!
Nyx: We can be the middle child twins.
Nova: Totally!
*Cut to them getting coffee and being besties*
Me: likes the actual doll better than the concept art
Dollightful: I like the concept art way more
me: *offended noises*
huh
Lol
Haha 🤣
Cookie 432137869001547813209665782374 I like the doll better to lol
I believe Nyx’s mistakes also play into the dark elements, as sometimes mistakes are considered bad and therefore dark? If that makes sense, I love her and think she’s very beautiful :)
Oooooh nice take on it!
@E_FoxSnowspirit yeah!
I like how the thing floating around her horns actually looks like a moon
Going back and watching these I realize how much I REALLY like 2-A design, you probably won’t even see this but if you were to think of making maybe gem/rock characters I Luke absolutely love to see 2-A come to life
I definitely think you're overthinking this. I love this doll re-paint and I think she came out looking amazing! She looks mystical, mysterious, sly, intelligent, and powerful, all at once! My one critique is about the tail, cause I agree with you that it would have been better to print out a custom fabric. But I think everything else turned out wonderfully! Despite some of the hiccups along the way, I think she stands out in great way and really gives off a "dark enchantress" vibe that I'm very fond of. You did great on this one!
Exactly! Her smile is my favourite - like knowing something terrifying you shouldn’t.
Wings
I agree with Mimzy66. Artists are their worst critics and you are being very hard on yourself. Nyx came out beautiful and I believe you've captured your artwork very well. Another outstanding custom doll down. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Me too
!😮
Man imagine having these dolls for your childhood
That would be AWESOME
Ik Right
Yeah
All in favor of companies making kits where you can make different types of dolls
Well I mean yeah that would be awesome but whoever made them probably wouldn't let you touch them since they are supposed to be for show 😂
Ech0 H3ART You have my vote
DUDE I LOVE HER PAINTED WINGS THAT WAS LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS. THEY’RE SO PRETTY AND UNIQUE. PLUS THE PATTERN REALLY REMINDED ME OF A GALAXY
Me to
29:8 Here
Setsuna Kitsuna I know right her wings are sooo good she is a good painter
Jade Nguyen yea exactly I thought she captured it perfectly :D
I wasn’t a big fan of Nyx when the video first came out but after rewatching it I like her a lot more then before. She’s a beautiful doll and captures the theme of dark very well
"Is this another Nova situation?" I don't think so! Even though a lot of things went "it broke", I think the end result is pretty awesome! The sum is better than the parts, I would say
Katie Whelan this doll looks exactly like nova. waste of resources
IDK WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GIRL THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DOLLS YOU'VE EVER DONE!!! SHE LOOKS SO GOOD OMG.....
*Me one hour ago:* Oh, Dollightful’s logo is such a pretty piece of art, it can’t be better
*Me now:* WHAAAAAT, HOW
She's Grand! The barbie doll turned out Fantastic! Very Unique..a Def Fabulous Creation. And the wings..I'm impressed with the detail!❤
Everyone has already said what needs to be said re: your dissatisfaction with this doll but I'm just going to say one thing. I loved this video so much because it showcased trial and error, learning from mistakes, inventing new techniques, reflecting on issues and perseverance. despite all your hiccups you still produced a gorgeous doll. I'm blown away by your abilities to stay the course and just finishing a project alone is a triumph, even without things going wrong. You honestly inspire me, and i think i'm not alone when I say that a lot of people will see this as an encouraging video. So many people get overwhelmed as beginners when they see people with a lot of experience bringing out incredible works every time. What they often fail to see is the amount of work, time and patience that goes into producing these things. and i mean that in the grand scheme of things. you can't compare your beginners work to an expert, it will never work out well for you. but while you did create a beautiful end result (i'll keep saying it), watching you work through the issues and still finish gives me such inspiration to work on my projects! it shows that these hiccups are not exclusive to me, that even someone with such experience can have bad experiences with their projects every so often. it is weirdly humbling. I've tried doll mods before but I've never finished a project because i've been faced with hiccups and i have just put the project down and just.. never came back to them. so yeh you've inspired me so much.
also heck yes using dye to colour doll skin is BRILLIANT! I am a little surprised I hadn't thought of that before but I definitely want to test that technique out!
as for the wings, i wonder whether it would have been a better idea to glue the wrong sides together, rather than sewing them. May not have been as flexible but that kind of material does not fray, so you would have gotten a really smooth result i think. but I don't think they look as bad as you feel that they do. the fabric was the perfect background for the galaxy wings!
What she said ^
(BTW well said. Valaina07 )
Holy- props to you for writing all this, it's hard for me to say a nice sentence, but I do feel the same
Just like Nova, she's of my favorite dolls now. Every quote-unquote "mistake doll" you make, is beautiful! You shouldn't put yourself down over this project! She's amazing!
Wen she makes a mistake, or a nova, that was me almost every day in 3rd grade.
“Dissatisfied”
What?!?!?
This is probably one of my favorite dolls from you. I can understand your frustration as a creator with her, because of all of the mistakes and fails in the process, but I feel that those give her more personality. She may not be your ‘cleanest’ doll, but their is something about her that’s very entrancing. There is a lot of complexity, yet she isn’t cluttered, everything on her ended up pulling through to create a very well crafted character. Don’t feel dissatisfied by reasons you can’t specifically name. She is a lovely doll, don’t let yourself tell you otherwise.
^ same thoughts
I agree there is personality! I think this doll is fantastic.
man, rewatching this i can't believe i didn't realize that the first two dragons are named after the roman goddess of dawn (aurora) and greek goddess of night (nyx) and honestly i love that so much
i really like her. aesthetically she’s very pleasing and the wings are actually super pretty. i‘m sorry that there were so many mishaps, but nonetheless she’s a beautiful doll!
I love the doll too. I love to watch her with my family on youtube
[ were crazy nerdy ]
@Annie Breugem thank you for giving me a
like. your the best
@Annie Breugem My step dad did it
he calls me a dork so I think that's why he put it
As artists, we are always hardest on ourselves. This is honestly one of my favorite dolls you've ever done. It seems so real in a way others haven't. I am a devout of the velveteen rabbit mythos; the more worn down and broken, the more real a thing is, so perhaps I love this doll more for its broken parts. Keep doing what you do (so well). I am always inspired and calmed by watching your process. Thank you
You wrote such a beautiful and encouraging comment!
@@enyan6696 agreed!
"Is this another Nova situation" NO HONEY NO

@@kristabartley2133 a lot of people do Gacha Life what's the big deal
AmberWolf Productions yeah I agree she looks way better and more cohesive than nova
Just rewatching the dragon series and realizing how much influence I took from them for my first sculpture, her horn shape and Terra’s half tree half rock leg design. Which is impressive because my first sculpture was of a mythical deer.
“I’m not satisfied.”

It's true.

So true!

is that a bad thing tho?
some artists arent like that tho. some actually enjoy their own artworks, while some have issues accepting their abilities and arent pleased with the end results. :/
Dollightful: “I’m very dissatisfied.”
Me: SHE’S FRICKING AMAZING!! YOU ALWAYS MAKE AMAZING DOLLS AND THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES YET!!
ABSOLUTELY
I feel EXACTLY the same way! I wouldn't be able to draw her concept art for this, let alone customize toys like she does!
This doll is my favorite to!!
I agree
yea she helped meh making design for mai comics
It’s not a disappointment I LOVE her so much she’s so pretty ❤️ ❤️
Omg heyy i saw you and i checked ur channel my name is ashley do you wanna be online friends ??
Ashie Min sure, why not
Yes
This is indeed a beautiful doll
Your videos really inspire me to create! I watch them whenever I feel like drawing and they make great background noise. I really love how it turned out despite thinking a thematically dark dragon doll would have looked good. I like the space feel she gives! So cool!
Every single “it broke” made my soul cackle and also descend into another level of hell because boy have I been there and it’s painful
angsty Tomato, I like your name, my favourite name so far.
i literally shook with laughter every time that it broke appeared XD
At 29:51...
"Is this another Nova situation?!"
Me: NO
"Is she really as bad as I am making her out to be?!"
Me: NOO!
"Am I thinking to hard about this?!"
Me: NOOO! I MEAN, YEAHH!
Me
EvieAndStitch hehehe! She can sculpt and draw pfffffft
Exactly me, she is beautiful
I can imagine why she's thinking that. The project went wrong in many places, which left her annoyed and sad. That's why she is not satisfied. And also, she ended up rushing the doll after things started going wrong. You can clearly see the difference in the amount of efforts in the previous dragon doll and this one, because she started feeling bad about this doll, even though this doll takes my breath away
Subtexto O'Politan yeah I agree she is disappointed and maybe she could take a second approach
“i’m very dissatisfied” I LOVE THIS DOLL SHES ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THR STRUGGLES GIVE HER SO MUCH MORE OF A STORY. i actually like the cracks... she’s a dark dragon so it kinda looks like she’s been through battle or something like battle scars! you always manage to outdo yourself i love you Katherine!
Sorry but your user name got me thinking. _I_ identify as a cork.
Jules Hembery oH?
This is the most gorgeous doll I’ve ever seen! Seriously, I’d love to have a doll exactly like this, because she’s everything I find beautiful and mystical about the dark night sky. You may not have liked how she turned out, but I would have been thrilled at how lovely she is, especially with the glow in the dark stars and eyes!
"It broke" had me in stitches. Like Oh my gosh. It happened way too many times.
I just love Nyx and when you said: "Did I disappoint you guys?" I was like
NOOOO WAY I LOVE HER.
Omg yes!
She's actually one of my favorite doll that Katherine (dollightfull) made!
My first thought was literally, "huh, the intro looks off..."
But it's so cuteee

Dude she literally GLOWS IN THE DARK! You did amazing!!!
I love the quilt wings, they say "welcome back to the start" or "I hope the afterlife is nice" or "a fresh start in life"
I like that the second interpretation can be viewed as comforting or a threat based on the context in which you see it
"I'm dissatisfied" Boi that doll is the most magnificent doll i ever seen.IT EVEN GLOWS! I love this doll.💕
I agree strongly with that statement
Me to.
I totally agree
Nyx is my favourite dragon of this series, I feel like she’s the mom of the group and they go to her for advice cuz she’s the wisest, sure she’s not perfect but last I checked no one is and her imperfections add character
While Nyx can be the wise mom, i feel like Terra can be the caring mom, like mother nature can be, so like....
Lesbian dragons moms ? :D
Omg yeeees it makes me so sad that katherine disliked her so much I think shes perfect and I love the folding thing in her tail that katherine didn't like. It's so pretty 💜🖤💜
@@lakoritheweirdskelly yyyyyeeeeeesss!!
She kinda isn’t the mom so if she is the mom she’ll forget thing really fast and she will work on potions with aurara and she’ll help terry with the plants and I think she will live in the exzact place ruvs and Sarvs daughter and son live in but portals and floating screens so she can work on the potions and make the moon go down right after her and terry plant the plants
Couldn’t agree more.
No lie the moment I saw the name I immediately thought,
"I'm gonna love this" and I did. Congrats on unintentionally winning me over with Greek Mythology.
Phoebe the Normal type I know I love how she named it since nyx is the goddess of darkness
I love Greek mythology it’s da best
Lore Olypmus?
Dino Saur reading it now!!
Back to re-watch this series again and noticing how insanely close the finished product is to the concept art. Crazy!
i actually love the quilted look of her wings, it's like she's forcing realty rifts to bind to her will to show constellations and stars. she's wonderful and i especially love her legs and claws. i think your dissatisfaction comes from some of the many conceptual failures and struggles you had while making this doll. Instead you need to look at the results, shes a wonderful and very much loved doll. this is not a Nova situation. this is a artist misjudging their work because it didn't go as smoothly as normal work goes situation. Keep your chin up and continue your work, i love seeing dragons!
I agree. I think its just a frustration with adapting concepts and the limitation of the medium, or knowledge of mediums that can translate into the vision. I completely understand that feeling. I think what helps is considering the mediums you woul use and what effects you want as you are making the concept art. Not that you shouldnt try to push yourself, your knowledge etc. But the claw thing was a great example of getting the similar idea by structurally going a different route and succeeding. It was an engineering issue at that point that she could overcome. But you can only come up against so many of those in one project and find a successful solution for so many. So sometimes you have to dial the challenges back for one project, or you find yourself disastisfied with the results because the entire thing was a struggle and a ton of experimentation. You end up looking at her like shes a Manny in disguise rather than having affection for a manny that really challenged you but doesnt pretend to be completed or a success. And with a project that has a lot of experimentations, sometimes it better to lean into the results of failure and work with them, rather than trying to ressist and cover them up, which is difficult when you have exact concept art you are trying reproduce, rather than relying loosely on a concept.
Like that discoloration with the dyes creates a pretty cool effect that you could lean into. Might have been cool to make a proto nyx with all the failed experimentations and come back to the concept art again at antoher time when you are armoured with the knowledge of how to do those ideas effectively, at east as effectively as you imagine is possible. oh and the glue seeping. Reminded me a bit of frankie stien and how that might be useful at some point when making a zombie horror doll with seeping seams.
Yeah I think the doll is really good!!!
how long did it take for you to type that.....😐
