•••••••••••• WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL •••••••••••••
Hi, it´s Kiat (Like the car brand haha), I´m 69 and welcome to my channel! ٩(◕‿◕)۶ I´m doing something creative pretty much 24/7, be it drawing, painting, decorating, customizing dolls and figures or sculpting my own figures. I just can´t stop woking on something, I´d go insane ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡
The dolls/figures I´m working on are usually second hand / thrift store finds, since I wouldn´t dare working on something brand new (except if it´s straight up ugly since the beginning).
I have been watching anime, reading manga and playing video games since almost 20 years now, so these things are very close to my heart. That´s also where I get my inspiration from!
My tastes in anime/mangas/games are usually pretty obscure stemming from my country being not very intrested in subcultures in general. I had to keep my interests secret up until now, you would get strange stares even if you said you like Disneyland (︶︹︺)
So now I hope I can live out my love for this on here only a little bit!
CURRENT SERIES:
Doll Repaint: Repainting & revamping second hand dolls
Speedpainting: Draw with me
Figure Repaint: Repainting not accurate figures
Sculpting: Sculpting dolls + heads/figures from scratch
Vlogs: I take you along my everyday life of a convention artist

She looks like she could be in Dark Souls/Elden Ring as either an immobile boss or a weirdly friendly npc. Edit: I think her name should be more of a title, like 'The Fungal Mistress of the Woods'

[@KiatBSaguru]

omg that´s such a good idea! I´m leaning more towards to imobile boss tho, maybe she can be recruited later after defeating her haha

[@SHYLE0N]

Reading the title I actually thought this would be an experiment to see how nature takes over a doll or something lol.. still nice painting job done it looks cool

[@KiatBSaguru]

thank you! I mean, I theoratically let her rot in the woods, they are just magical woods haha

[@Renzolino2000]

same! i wanted to see that so bad:(

[@melymantsenda9470]

Yeah me too, kind of disappointed

[@bazdris8132]

Actually i had the same thought

[@Ducky_Lucky]

Tricked again

[@Vix2066]

When you said she's the size of one of those giant forest fairies I've never seen before but can very well imagine I damn near spat out my drink😂😂 absolutely brilliant. Love it. Love your work!🍄❤

[@KiatBSaguru]

haha thank you

[@insignificantartist1714]

I also love the way you did her chest and missing torso, really continues on the actuality of how mushrooms decay and breakdown things. Just a lovely piece ovr all!

[@MiddleRabbitDollArtStudio]

Thanks for doing this collab with me, Kiat! You are so freaking talented and I had a blast watching you turn that doll into this amazing sculpted doll! 🤯 🤩

[@KiatBSaguru]

I need to thank you as well! 🍄 The collab was so great! I love you doll and video as well, your sculpting skills are also top notch 🤩🥰

[@Vembie]

"her hair is really nice so i keep it" is my new favorite thing to say

[@Salbei17]

Fun Fact: I've been following you on Instagram and even seen you in person on multiple conventions, but I only just now got your channel recommended to me and oh my heavens you also customize dolls?? I thought I couldn't love your art more than I already did, but here I am, doing exactly that.

[@KiatBSaguru]

awww that makes me so happy! I´m blushing so hard rn haha

[@Salbei17]

@@KiatBSaguru The most recent was Aninite haha! I bought the pmd prints, if that helps, but with the amount of people there, I'd not be surprised if you don't remember

[@LeatherfacesBBG]

i feel like literally every “doll artist” is like REALLY FUNNY for no reason to yall are just really funny

[@Kalkipikaia]

She's amazing. Her face reminds me of the face of Judith in Judith und Holofernes by Klimt, something in her very aloof expression. Also, you're so funny! I needed that thank you! I would love to see drawing (while talking) videos,

[@KiatBSaguru]

Ooh! You‘re totally right! It‘s also one of my favourite paintings and I visit this painting from time to time since it hangs in our museum. Thank you ^^ I wanted to add in a few more jokes but I ran out of time haha

[@dinoinadress2273]

First of all she looks amazing, absolutely love her face you did such a good job! And the sculpting is just *cheffs kiss*. Living your art style and loving your sense of humor. Definitely subscribing. Second here are a couple tips that I share with all doll artists that I find useful and I hope you can too. - a mix of coffee grounds, the tea from tea bags and a glue that dries matte makes some amazing looking dirt. You can even add in sand and tiny rocks or a bit of clay kitty litter if you want. - You can crumble up dish sponge really small and add glue and paint and it makes great looking moss. - When printing something with washes dry brushing afterwards helps bring some of the 3D detail back out. - When layering paint to create depth, change the color a bit as well as the value of it, it helps create a much more dynamic color spectrum and tends to make things look more realistic if that makes sense? -When painting something (especially organic things) if you don’t clean your brush between colors it can help give a much more harmonious color palette. - When using glitter just mix an obscene amount into a glossy varnish. It will make it so there isn’t any fallout and will help contain the overthrow of our civilization by glitter. - Next time you are having issues with your pencils not working, try lifting the pigment directly from the watercolor pencils with a wet brush. Since it’s water activated you can still get some really nice gradiation. - I personally recommend using longer bristled tiny brushes (nail art liners are my favorites) for doing lines in paint (or any other liquid) it lets you get a much smoother line much easier.

[@KiatBSaguru]

Thank you so much for all of your tips, I will certainly use them as a refernce for the future :) And agree, I will do my part in defend our society from the evil glitter ;)

[@kaytiej8311]

The mushrooms are sculpted beautifully. Great project.

[@omppul]

Absolutely amazing doll! What first came to mind was how epic she'd look in TTRPG game as a boss!

[@KiatBSaguru]

tank you! Ooh you are totally right, she would look awesome :D

[@Yunisca30]

Seeing the second skull and open battery slot kind of makes me wonder if these dolls could be used to make a robot/cyborg themed character. I think the machine like look of electronic bits would lend itself well to that concept.

[@neoqwerty]

I was expecting a kind of "chia pet" doll experiment from this, but this is cool too! (Does make me wonder if you COULD make a plant-holder/doll sculpt hybrid, though, like some sort of ball-jointed "wooden" puppet-dryad mix. It would probably be more trouble than it's worth, though.)

[@freyjajayrozeangelicallypo6136]

If you understand anything at all about genuine what some people would call in some cultures voodoo, then you understand how deeply intriguing this metaphoric analogy is. Beautifully done thank you humanity thanks you and so do the Fae

[@artofescapism]

What a cool, beautiful doll- great representation of decomposition and fungal life.

[@MusLaboratoris]

Wow, she looks amaizing! Love the theme and evil Mother Nature estetics:). Your sculpting skills are awesome, I feel inspiration to sculpt something on my own:). I have in my stock the same Spectra doll, but I'm too scared to touch her xD

[@KiatBSaguru]

Thank you 😊 I‘ll warn you, she is REALLY difficult to work with xD

[@rivencloak]

I really appreciate that you made the inner thighs thicker to match the body! I love this look and it looks so natural!!

[@plant8746]

The title is abit misleading because you said that you would let the doll rot in the woods, but you just made it look like it was rotting. But good job!

[@mondenkindqueen]

This looks really raw and organic…which when you really think about it, encompasses fungi perfectly. 10/10!

[@christineingram55]

Oh Wow..She’s Exquisite..You have some serious sculpting skills dear ..I love her face paint..I will just cut all of the dribble out.I thouroughly enjoyed watching you creat this gorgeous Art Doll.From beginning to end .You are very talented and the years I have watched you I have seen you grow..She’s a masterpiece and I really Love her 🥰

[@branflakes523]

Don't know how the KZbin algorithm brought me here but this was fun to watch! I dont know much about doll reconstruction and stuff but I do love art and creativity. I think something you could have done to the hands was maybe add a subtle red dot gradient like the red spots on some mushroom caps. But overall it was entertaining to watch you make this!

[@LuceroLucifer]

amazing doll! loving your skills! your concept made me think of the medea hypothesis which stipulates that mother nature is trying to kill humans

[@KiatBSaguru]

thank you! oh, interesting idea, but I wouldn´t read too much into a rpg boss inspired doll.

[@Ysckemia]

mushrooms growing on living people is a nightmare for me, thank to the manga Dorohedoro. though you doll looks pretty comfy with those on her body ^^

[@saiyasha848]

Ah, Dollremake channels. How to be a legal serialkiller. Honestly though, this doll is amazing!

The Pokémon kricketune cry at the beginning made me subscribe

[@MaybeitsmeJulia]

I am so happy this video was recommended to me! Your work is so beautiful, I was mesmerised throughout

[@KiatBSaguru]

Thank you soo much

[@OxyPox]

I really appreciate that you used a Ghoul's Alive doll ! A lot of those dolls are broken or are missing limbs, so it's great for them to have a second life 🥰🙌 I think it's very fitting choice for this project, as well. Lovely faceup.

[@SillyWillyNickle]

She absolutely Gorgeous! YOUR ARE SO TALENTED! You deserve so many more subscribers than you have! Just, Wow! I love mushrooms and there aesthetic! The creeper/dark turn was such a creative idea. Ehen I think mushroom I think fairies, garden, the occasional decomposing animal and such. You are seriously so talented with clay and painting!

[@KiatBSaguru]

Aww thank you so much

She came out stunning!!! I adore ger facial expression!!

[@jaidyn259]

The kricketot noise in the beginning had me sobbing 😂😭

[@ms_minna]

Amazing work! I’m super impressed! (And had to subscribe) ❤️ Ps: I’d love to see your version of an abandoned android type robot that’s been left to nature taking over and re-moulding into a a natures android spirit. ☺️ (thought of the idea of Ben seeing you sculpt this dolls hips and seeing the battery hole)

[@KiatBSaguru]

ooh what a wonderful idea! I will certainly put this on a list for future dolls

[@HumanAnimator]

The doll is beautiful however the only thing my brain could come up with when you started making the stump and thick thighs was 'OH so the Lorax but hotter '

[@biblicallyaccurateangel2476]

[@barbaraselinger6130]

Ooooooh, what a wonderful artwork, WOWOWOW!! PLEASE, dear Kiat, excuse my awful english, for I am an elder swiss woman, with many problems of health (that's why I'm watching so many videos on KZbin 😇!) - You saved my day, with Your absolutely georgous mushroom- lady! The ONLY reallyreally minimalistic thing I'd have to say: Your sculpting is heavanly, but in Your painting, specially, there where two colors come together, You could do that "over- going" (HELP, I don't know the exact word in english!), for example from white to brown (mushrooms in face + body!), just a very, VERY little bit smoother! I'm so sorry, for I love Your way of speaking, filming, sculpting (oooooh, OMG, ALL those cute, beautiful mushrooms!!!), and Your modifications, and of course Your painting, SO MUCH!! Thank You for all the joy You gifted me - may God bless and protect You and Your family, and may He give You the strength for Your new job! With admiring and kind regards : Babs Selinger

[@ellenbrooks8061]

That word you're looking for is "blending", I believe! 💛

[@KiatBSaguru]

aw thank you for your lovely words! I´m blushing from your praise! Thank you for your tips, I was sadly running really late in time when I painted her, so many details are rushed. I´m kinda biting my own but because of this^^ I finished the doll a little bit under two hours before uploading the video, but that´s work life for you haha Anyway, if you don´t want to speak english, I can speak german as well :) All the love, Kiat :)

[@Sabrina-ky5tl]

I loved the concept and the idea behind this! Wich is why I'd suggest you keep a similar theme regarding the music (in this case a bit dark and fairy like). Because it can be a tiny bit off putting when your imagination is at 100 building a whole dark mischievous storyline and then boom happy song. Loevly video !

[@KiatBSaguru]

I actually wanted to do this, but since darker (free) music tends to be really slow, I´m always afraid of people getting bored during longer parts of the vid and clicking off. But I will look for better music in the next video :)

[@Sabrina-ky5tl]

@@KiatBSaguru I think your idea is awesome! In my opinion, darker music (slow piano or fast crazy violin) really pulls me into the experience. Lovely!

I have a Dahle 101 pencil sharpener (the green/yellow/orange one). But it‘s 15 years old by now, so I don‘t know if you can still buy one. But any other Dahle pencil sharpener works as well, but I don’t know if they can achieve the same pointy tip. Hope this helps ☺️
