DIY Quetzalcoatl Art Doll Tutorial

[@KaypeaCreations]

Reuploaded! Fixed the bad audio cause my god it was bad. Still somehow forgot to add the word Quetzalcoatl lol

[@ikagikatagawa4gaming706]

I would love to see an art doll of the Nargacuga from monster hunter. Monster Hunter is my most favorite game and the monsters are so cool looking. Could you try to? You made toothless, so i bet you'd be able to make Nargacuga!!!!!!! Your staff is amazing and I'd love to see more!!!!!!!!

[@SlyfyGummy]

Like doll motion, the fur you bring to your creations adds a speck of more life than most doll creations as a fellow artist I need inspiration like this thank you for your beautiful style.

[@salt7625]

Fun fact, this guy is one of the oldest gods in aztec culture as he has not drastically changed at all in all the years he has been known, all that has changed about him is the names he is called, such as Kulkalkan(i may be spelling that wrong to be honest)

It is nice to know that someone carved with their own hands the image of a Mexican god of the country where I live, it is truly beautiful, I love it ;3

Thank you so much! I loved making this one ☺️💙

Love it! As a Mexican I approve the accuracy.

Aprobado! next Aztec deity plz Ahuizótl (mytic dog of water)

[@Apostrafi]

@@kylan1817 I never heard of that before. :o. I only know about the Quetzalcoatl

[@kylan1817]

@@Apostrafi you can find easily some mythological creatures of nahuatl imaginery such as Xiuhcoatl (snake of stars), quetzalpapalotl (butterfly of fire) as well as ahuizotl..even existed an wey tlatoani (aztec emperor) with this name, Ahuizotl. Regards from Cuernavaca! 💐

[@chillroom230]

HE is also called "The Winged Serpent", "Ehecatl", "Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli","Kukulkan", as well as "Precious Twin" He is a connection between Earth and sky, the feathered serpent that was considered by some to be the creator of men and by others to be a contributing factor in the destruction of Aztec civilization. But he is a winged serpent (just like one of his names says) Who looks much like a Dragon. His parents being his father Mixcoatl (or "Cloud Serpent") and his mother being Xōchiquetzal (or "Maiden") but that's not all. Quetzalcoatl also has BROTHER Xolotl who was associated with both Lightning and Death. (I hope this helped...) And maybe you could do his family... He also turned out great!

[@KaypeaCreations]

Thank you for the info! Very informative ☺️

[@chillroom230]

@@KaypeaCreations No problem :) (Also I love your content)

[@thehootinator7158]

I know "axolotl" is also a Nahuatl word, does it come from "xolotl"?

[@S.O.C.isadurgun]

Are they also called amphitheres?

[@ravenpocky8146]

God hes absolutely beautiful!! Love how he came out. I would have lost my mind doing the wings like that xD

[@KaypeaCreations]

Pretty sure my mind ran off after this haha, thanks!

[@Mercifell]

I always love seeing your wonderfully creative dolls, and the process you use to make them! As a hobbyist doll maker myself, it's always inspiring to see other artist's work! Also, for those wondering, I figured I'd add this! -For ball and socket armature, the best place to start is a website called CR's Crafts if you're in the States. Always get the tool for it as well- those buggers are TOUGH to pop in and out. If you run a business and make tons of these, it's also possible to get in contact with jeton, the supplier. Be aware you can only buy in bulk! -Cosclay was funded in kickstarter, but is still working on coming to release in production so it isn't out to those who didn't kick start or beta test! -To make the wings a little less agonizing, if you have a heckin' sharp pair of shears it's a good idea to double up the sheets. Thanks again and I hope it's okay if I add these!

[@MotherAbigail]

You should remove the pins when you sew with the machine because the needle can easily break. Its a pain in the ass to replace. Just a tip!

[@KaypeaCreations]

Thanks for the tip! Luckily I have a surplus of needles and since it’s heavy duty one it usually breaks the pins instead 😅 but ye I should be removing them

[@francklie6568]

Not only that, but if the needle breaks, you don't know where the pieces will fly. Many years ago, my mom was sewing something and the needle broke. She looked everywhere and couldn't find it. Until one of her fingers started hurting a lot. That's where the piece was, inside her finger. She had to go to the hospital so the doctor could remove it and you should have seen the size of the bandage they put around it, it was huge! So yeah, remove the pins just in case!

[@MotherAbigail]

@@francklie6568 WHAT OMG. Thats scary! When I was taking sewing lessons and stuff, they drilled it into my head to remember removing the pins. Glad your mom didnt get it in the eye or something!

[@francklie6568]

MotherAbby, she was very lucky indeed! The doctor still had a good job to do because the way the needle had entered the finger, if he didn't want to open up the finger and cause more damage, he had to cut through the nail a hole large enough to insert his small "twizzer" tool to get to the needle, grab it and pull it back. Because of that, I'm very cautious whenever I use my sewing machine. Accidents happen and they happen very fast!

[@craftswithchristina]

I was JUST going to say this. Not only is it super dangerous, it also ruins your machine no matter how how good the motor is. Not only that but every time you run over one you ruin the adjustment of the machine because it moves the needle so then you would need to get it looked at. I do quilting and this was ALWAYS a big no-no. Sorry to complain but it really actually hurt me to see the pins go through like that.

[@fabianastacia3350]

As a Mexican, I just wanna say thank you for making such a beautiful interpretation of our culture. You are definitelly a true, great artist.

[@patycandy3435]

It’s pronounced like “k-zal-co-atl” kinda like that haha Quetzalcoatl it’s inspired in a Mexican bird named Quetzal (bc when this bird flies it looks like a snake with feathers like the god) It’s a really cute bird so maybe you could sculpt it ^^

[@Erik1495]

It's actually a myth and it is actually a god

[@KaypeaCreations]

The bird is so beautiful! Thanks for the info 😍

[@KazzieBB]

@@Erik1495 no one said it wasn't

[@lorettoponton7218]

Actually the naming of the bird was inspired by the god, since the tail made it look like a flying snake and people used to think it was Quetzalcoatl like a lot

[@tar4825]

You are saying it wrong. It’s actually qwet-zall-co-ot-all.

[@snowycloud9304]

I would be really interested in a glass eye tutorial :0 I have no idea how they are made

[@Darknexea]

You can find several tutorials on KZbin, search "glass eye tutorial". My favorite is the one from Art of Vaelys. She explains 4 techniques to make glass eyes and even shares the files she uses to make them.

Thanx for another fantastic video, It's great that you are so descriptive. I find most folk who do art vids are very secretive and don't like sharing the full process. I use polymorph for horns claws and stuff, but so looking forward to cosclay, hope its available in the UK.

[@johnpyrare6664]

I am Mexican and I really loved it.💕

[@Dumpylongstockings]

I feel a really cool thing to add to the headpiece would have been a really long curly iridescent feather in the middle

[@anonthe-third2367]

I recognize that skeletal tubing. They use the same thing for STP packers to keep them ridged.

[@StarWisperer]

I love the result! Looks colorful, but not chaotic or vivid, the expression of Quetzalcoatl's..."muzzle"(?) is deep, god like, maybe with a little bit of ancient wisdom. The part when you sculped his head is my favourite, I love the detailes and, precisely how good scales on his muzzle went out.

Y'know... this looks exactly like something 10yo me would carry around EVERYWHERE just because it's amazing. Btw, a question- how would you wash these art dolls? Would you just use water, dab-wash? I doubt you would just bung them in the washing mashine xD

[@thehootinator7158]

I don't think they can be washed because water will fade the airbrushing

How to pronounce Quetzalcoatl: Ket-zzal-koa-tl I’m trying to help English speakers to pronounce it , I know how to pronounce it cause I’m Mexican , this is amazing girl :3 Edit: this is not a dinosaur name this name is of a very important god in Mexico , the god of rain and wind. Quetzalcóatl is not a greek name it’s a Nahuatl name which is a very old language here in Mexico.

[@gr1m0ire93]

Thank you i have been looking for this comment cuz i dont know how to say it ㅠ ㅠ

[@jimcarter4497]

xD I’m American and I could pronounce first try I pronounced it correctly because I’m very familiar with the prehistoric reptile “Quetzalcoatlus” Which is a flying reptile as tall as a giraffe and he had the wingspan of a bus!

@@jimcarter4497 you are doing great a tip is to say that same name and get off the “us” at the end

3:42 recently for Christmas my mom bought me some clay tools, not something I ever thought to buy myself as I don't really look in the tools section of the craft shops, super useful, but I've mostly been using the smoothing tool (a curved tool) but I also still used my fingers, sure it's useful, I used the spearhead, needle tool and this weird texture one made of a more metal completely, but honestly, could use a toothpick or a needle and get the same effect, if you want to craft, You don't need fancy tools! I draw on my phone and iPad with just my fingers and I love it

[@jacksnstaffs8293]

Brilliant video and Quetzalcoatl! I actually preferred the longer type video and enjoy hearing you explaining things. Would really love to see the glass eye tutorial and any other videos where you break parts down and explain them. I just love all your videos so anything is great.

It actually was, but it lived with the dinosaurs and was the largest flying animal to live on earth.

[@daianalettieri216]

It's crazy to me that I actually recognized the name Quetzalcoatl. They taught me about this creature in my history class about 4 years ago and I didn't think I'd remember it (though I think it's 'cause they told me about it with a show that is really fun and teaches all about the history of South America, and I liked the song they made of it). Also, he looks pretty much like the Quetzal bird from here (which is very colorful). I really like it. An other amazing piece.

Hey Kaypea! I just had some questions about your beutifull dolls! because I maybe want to try this for myself! My first question is about where you got the boll sockets? (Sorry if i miss spelled) my second question is how much time and money did you spend on this project? And I just wanna say I adore your work, it’s always so beautiful 😊 and I always enjoy watching it! And a small tip for the wing feathers: you can fold the velt and then pin it down, then you get 2 feathers at once when you cut it out of the velt (it’s what I do at least) Sorry if my comment is a bit confusing 😅

[@KaypeaCreations]

Hi there!! You can get ball and sockets from crscrafts. It’s hard to say how much money I spend per art doll as I buy everything in bulk but I say on average you can buy all the materials if you’re on a budget for $50 Yeaaaaa I realized I could of just did that after I was all done 😅 what can I say I’m a masochist haha thank you so much!💙
