Well folks, it took me a long time but I finally collated all the photos and videos from when I built this huge dragon puppet and managed to make a video.
I hope that it comes in useful for someone out there, I know that I used a lot of different people's videos and tutorials to help inform this build. So it was important to me to make one myself :)
New video coming soon with a discussion on the build and what improvements I've made recently!

This looks like a smaller never ending story dragon
Yea but with scales and less detail
Goldie the fox XD omg true
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT
FALKOR
Wait it’s not...
It makes me so sad because I don’t have the material 😭
Umm I can’t do that

@@brextenmulti3270 BIG BRAIN
I'd love one of these for trips to Sainsburys
I'm in the early phases of creating a giant, partially mechanized dinosaur puppet - and this is brilliant. Thank you for your artistry and insight!
Who else watched this even though they aren’t actually gonna make it btw girl you are so talented!
Me .3. It’s very epic
Me. :>
Me because why not.
Lol 173 likes and this video has 173k likes what a coincidence

It’s like making a fursuit
Bloodmoon Wolfpack it is honestly :3
Only using puppets is actually normal
@@UncleAwooga -_-
Meme Liquid lol
@@UncleAwooga I respect your opinion on furries, but please have more respect for others that are in the furry community
I work at an indoor play place, and we've been looking for something to replace the big walk-around character to perform during birthday parties and such. Something like this would definitely catch the kids' attention I bet! Very informative! Thanks! ^^
I cannot believe you can make that in real life so pretty
The dragon at the beginning looks like the Falkor from the never ending story
*Falkor the Luck Dragon, dumbass. His name is Falkor, not The Falkor.
@@MrParkerman6 calm down wtf
@@MrParkerman6 calm yourself :>
The reason I clicked ^^^^
I thought so too.
Aaaa this helps so much!
Tiny1badger’s was kinda confusing, but this really helped me a lot!
Agree
It’s Falkor! Glad to see The Neverending Story was inspiration for this dragon.
He actually wasn't 😂 it was only after I posted it on RUclips people pointed out the similarities!
I came to RUclips to search for ready made dragons but now - I’m so inspired. I think I can do this. What a beautiful dragon! ❤
Are you kidding me? This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. You are way too hard on yourself
6:10 On your laptop. UNDERTALEEEE!!
UNDERTALE UwU
what is she doing on that game?
:00000
@@--j7852 playing it?
@@windaroon she wasnt playing it, she was watching a playthrough
❤ This dragon looks so much like Falcor,,from the neverending story movie ,,he looks beautifull and fluffy just like Falcor. Amazing work.🐲🐉
*6:45**: She was watching Undertale in the process making the dragon xd*
Lol, ur watching undertale 😂😂😂 sounds like somthing I would have done
Same
How do you know😮😮😮
👌✌️👇👆☝️👋🤚🖖💛
Galaxy Dire it’s on her computer on the process of her mak8ng the hesd
She then watched Ace Attorney
Furry community says: No prob, this is what we love doing! Yes, im a furry.
Edit: this comment was never intended to cause the drama it did. I apologize
:3

Yes
I got a TON of inspiration from this, and I’m currently making a puppet of my own! Hopefully when finished I can post about it and possibly share it with you!
I'd love to see anything you create! Send it through to the email in my website 😁 good luck with your build!
@@KeepDrawingCharlie thanks!
Awwwww, reminds me of falcor, that is GORGEOUS
Perfect thing to do with all my craft stuff on quarantine

@@Shasa2008 what are u saying
Wolfynx XD lol
I don't have quarantine because I live in Finland---
If you want to do a lighter set of horns in the future:
Do the shape you want in paper machet, having a layer of tape on top to draw out your pattern, then use the pattern you cut out from the paper machet, and draw it on some craft foam. You then tape the edges of the pattern together while you stuff the horns with paper towel, or a thick stuffing material(to recreate the fullness of the shape you want). Once it's put together, you cover the horns with hot glue, which also gives you the chance to texture the horns the way you want! Once the hot glue has dried and hardened, get the stuffing out, and it will leave you with really nice, lightweight horns! Then you just paint them how you want, and if you want to seal the paint, I used Mr. Super Clear.
Hope that helps with future projects!!!💙🐲💙
So smart!
im not an arts and crafts person so i dont understand this smart language
@@Tsuhha Takes time and patience. You'll get there! I believe in you!!!💙
Please dont be so hard on yourself. That is an INCREADIBLE puppet. Whether it be your first or 100th it is amazing
Thank you so much for this video! I recently messed up on the puppet I was making (and was feeling really discouraged) but seeing how you kept going even when you had struggles really encouraged me!
it actually looks so incredible when moving wowww, and such expressiveness
just amazing
7:03 laptop: *bad time*
Anna Dubak what do you mean?
Little lea Gurdian it’s an undertale reference
It is a work of art!! It’s freaking perfect and as said by a few people, makes me think of Falkor which I always loved ❤️
That's Falcor from the Neverending Story!
If you designed that without ever seeing the movie. That's the most immaculate coincidence ever.
It makes it way better that it looks exactly like falcor. Your feeding off my childhood nostalgia. If I perceived it as an original design. I wouldn't have even clicked the video honestly.
Who else really want to do this but doesn’t have the materials😅
Edit:woah I’ve never got this much likes
Me (also I'd give up halfway through)
please tell me what material was said in the video!
Same
Yes and also I am not good at this type of stuff so I would have to have someone make me one I am thinking of a ice dragon
I make them and give them away at times and have a Gaster Blaster one (but no videos on it on my channel sorry)
I wonder if people notice that she's playing undertale in the background.lmao
Hasani H *watching
Ceres Brooks1 already pointed that out
Hasani H when?
Gothy Boi in the making of the head. But she was only watching someone play it (like a video)
She's watching Game Grumps I believe. She later watches their Ace Attorney series.
Watching game grumps while doing your project is such a mood bc i watched their danganronpa gameplay while working on my minecraft addon, good taste
I love this little dragon that looks like Falkor, I think you did an amazing job.
Love you dragon! Absolutely gorgeous❤❤
(For anyone using contact cement it is ridiculously dangerous for your lungs. Always work in a open ventilated area and if possible with a respirator mask. Be safe 😁)
How does the mechanism work? Do the rubber bands keep the eyes open or cause the closing?🤔 Is it possible to get a diagram of how the mechanism works as I'm making a double eyed dragon and want to use this mechanism 😊
@@HigimuraStudios the rubber bands provide the tension that you pull against to close the eyes, making them snap back into position. I'm afraid its a super complicated system and I can't get back into the puppet without cutting it open now. I'd recommend making a simpler mechanism like this one: ruclips.net/video/4e-Y5e2ttWY/видео.html
This is so beautiful, i can’t believe that this has only been recommended to me now.
can't believe it got recommended to me now...
Her: I'm grateful that fursuit makers have tutorials on how to make paws.
Me who is a furry:I'm so proud 🥺
Gross
@@CosmicCricetinae Bruh
EPIC. Im a dinomasker/kinda furry
Well, you just pressed the self distruct button. Enjoy life wile you can.
@@ZeGoober333 I will because I got covid.
This is truly AMAZING ! Unfortunately, I lack totally both time and talent to make my own dragon, so I truly envy you on this heautiful companion you made yourself. 😍
Thank you so much for this!! I've been looking for a better tutorial or something to help make a puppet myself, but couldn't find very much, and didn't really know how I was gonna tackle the neck- fortunately you're over here saving my life with this incredibly in depth video :D
Holy mother of god,That dragon puppet is SO ADORABLE! **happy screeching**
AAAAAA THATS SO FREAKING COOL! You should make a movie or like, a short film with it? It would literally be the coolest thing ever omg
This was very clever but I think it was JUST BEAUTIFUL
Your painfully underrated
Today on my Quarantine Quest:
Watching a really cool video about a dragon puppet knowing I will never make one
Excellent! Practice makes perfection. Now sell them.
This is so impressive!! Haven’t never even seen something like this done before I’m so impressed by how you just...did what needed to be done and took your time and made this amazing creature!!!
6:10 Ur playing/watching Undertale! 🤩😂😁💕
Nobody:
Me: tHaT cAn MaKe A gOoD fUrSuIt
Oml I thought the same exact thing 😂
Same
Yeah like she would be SUCH a good fursuit maker
Yesssss
That dragon is great when I last saw it I actually made my own dragon puppet ,well done
Omg im thinking of how cool this thing would be to make/have 🤩
Gurl quit putting yourself down it looks so amazing!!!!
This is amazing, Do you have the pattern for the head?
This is by far the best dragon puppet I have seen. Very convincing. Well done!
I saw the picture in thumbnail very impressive 👏
It looks so good ;v;! It makes me jealous my tutorial was so slapped together lol
omg! Your video seriously helped me create my own, and was a big inspiration to just give it a go and see where I end up, thank you! It means a lot that you commented
I think you did such a great job with this despite not doing anything like this before turned out amazing ! 😍
She did a fantastic job.
You inspired me enough to make one!! I got all the materials and are about halfway through the project. Thank you for making this video!!!! Your dragon turned out so good!
Soooooooooooooo
How's it going?
Oh wow it’s been a while but I finished it!
:0 amazing!!! This reminds me of fursuit heads and that stuff
This is amazingggggg, I wish to use this idea for some kind of cosplay in the future 🙌🏻 very creative
So beautiful
Hi all! Thank you so much for your amazing support!! In the past couple of weeks this video has gone viral and I've never had this much interest in my art ever before, it's pretty overwhelming!
I've just made a video that answers a lot of the questions I've seen in the comments, give it a watch if you want to learn more about how I built the puppet, and how I put it on, and also a sneak preview of the next dragon puppet!
ruclips.net/video/x-zccdRaXoQ/видео.html
Amazing work 👍
This is amazing.
We're making one in my son's style! You really inspired us
I remember watching this three years ago and I still view this as a masterpiece to this day amazing work
Ahh thank you so much! I've come far in that time, just released a pattern for a much better looking head, and a new video!
@@KeepDrawingCharlie ik I haven't watched it yet but I will now
Agreed. So much went into making Tatsuko. So much was learned, but I still want to see more of that wonderful first dragon.
How about that walk-around at a shopping centre I asked for all those years ago?
... Please 🤩
Great eyes. Thank's for the Tipps.
7:22 nice way to spend time is watching Game Grumps
Such a beautiful piece! Im currently working on a character of my own design. What I've learned it's a lot easier to shave the fur before sewing it/putting it on.
That is freaking awesome!!! Wow 🤯 great job
I'm really angry about this video and my decision to watch this. My reason for this is that I rlly wanna give that puppet a big oll hug and also I immediately had to draw my interpretation of it and you because I draw and dont have the ability to make pieces of art like that . I WANNA GIVE IT A HUG SO BADLY
They say sculptors cant draw, this woman is an alien, confirmed 😂
Then I am too
I as well am an alien then
my dad is an alien :o (he's a mechanic but he draws and sculpts in his free time)
This is awesome. He looks amazing for never having built a large puppet before. He's gorgeous. He does look like a Luck dragon.
Unbelievable, outstanding work!!!
He looks so lifelike that, toward the end of the video, I half-expect him to leap off your shoulder & go chasing after butterflies or something...
They’re Agender but I fully agree they are incredibly realistic
@@FeverDreamTheOneAndOnly By playing your gender-games agenda, you miss the point. Sad, really, that you're so narrow-minded that you focus on such minor, irrelevant details (such as an idiom of language) that you miss the larger world.
@@MrPGC137 what do you mean by that
@@xlsh1ksthewolflxtakingabre893 Bringing up the irrelevant issue 'of "gender," which has nothing to do with either my comment or the subject of the video. (Believe it or not, the issue of gender doesn't _have_ to be inserted into every single discussion and conversation.)
For a second there i thought youtube recommending me how to build a furr suit and was all confused untill i saw the "puppet" part of the title.
I felt like watching the birth of a dragon in Game of Thrones! Congrats, Mother of Dragon! Best wishes from Brazil. Warm regards sent your way!
I have just finished making my dragon puppet. This was my first time making one and it turned out a lot better. This tutorial helped me a lot thank you.
“It doesn’t look the best.”
Me: *can’t even sew in a straight line*
Also I saw you watching Game Grumps when you were making the scales! Yeah!
Me:can’t even sew
everyone: WOW THATS AMAZING YOU INSPIRE US :D
me: i wonder who she is fighting at Undertale
You're are very good fusion the different work of models, basic mechanics and drawing skills are a good mixture of artists creativity well done
We all start from something mistakes are made in creating things one cannot grows without it changing is naturally done helpful growth to
this is an absolute life saver! im going to comic con in 3 weeks and was looking for something like this as a part of my costume ❤
Once I get Instagram I’m going to contact her, I’m going to make a dragon like this. I’m so excited! I need to find materials and figure out exactly how to make it so I’d any of you have tips please let me know! I hope you’re having a great whatever time it is for you! -Kiya 💜
Me:Im gonna make a puppet!
My mom:try it but i dont think youre gonna get something like this.
Me:Im gonna try it!!!!❤❤❤
angel dust how’d it go
Finally a craftable friend
It is amazing, be very proud of your dragon, i totally want that sweet creature.
Me: sees Dragon
Me: oh good boy yes pspspsps good fluffy boy what a nice boy yes yes yes
When someone who doesn’t know how to make a puppet makes a better puppet then how your life has turned out
I’ve heard necessity is the mother of invention. You’re living it! And enjoying it as best you can. Admirably in my opinion 💕
Lo maneja super bien, tiene arte en sus manos para manejar el títere
I like how I just randomly said outloud “oh hey- undertale- wait who is playing that?... It isn’t jack- no he didn’t do lesser dog like that-“
You should make a fursuit out of it.
Not a lot of eastern dragons that look so cool.
FALKOR! I was gutted when she said it wasnt based off him, it looks exactly like him. I'd love to have one!
Well God damn. I'm not interested in Dragons, Puppets or Sewing, but I watched this whole video. Talented. I appreciate art and talent and this video was full of that, great job. I contemplated making one of these until she said "The room I claimed for 6 MONTHS" 😳. I wouldn't be able to do that lol. I appreciate you posting this, always nice to see an Artist at work. You did an amazing job. Thanks for uploading.
thank you so much for such a lovely comment!! It really means a lot to log on and see that people are still enjoying the video
I’m definitely doing this when I’m older and can get the items. I NEEEEEEEEEEED ITTTTTTTTTTTTTT >:3
i used this for halloween nothing else i just wore normal clothes and put him on my neck then i called him "Haku"
That’s cool
Absolutely precious!!!! You did a wonderful job. 🥰
You are a truly artist. Congratulations!! ❤️
I really want one and i feel like i could nake one... Just... I dont have patience or focus. I would either give up or forget until i find it in my closet a few years later and be to lazy to keep working and not want to get rid of it.
I saw this video when it was first released and it has inspired me 3 years later to do the same. I didn’t have my own RUclips account back then, I just want to say how much you’ve helped with making my own dragon puppet ❤️
What a magnificent Dragon Puppet. I love your work. Thank You for sharing your craft and artistry with us. Blessings .... Zue
Awwww it's so adorable I love dragons/love your videos
