Making a poseable Niffler artdoll!

[@LaurenFairwx]

This is amazing! He turned out beautifully. Thank you for sharing your process with us!

[@Madebysg]

Before his first trim, I died, he looked like a big dork fluff ball!! Love it

[@CreaturesofNat]

Haha I know!

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Your art dolls are awesome 😎 you have been inspiring me to make my own, I just gotta get supplies! I’ve been improvising with wefts of yarn because I don’t have access to faux fur at the moment. When the clay feels too stiff I add a tiny amount of translucent liquid sculpey to make it more pliable 👌

[@CreaturesofNat]

Aw thank you!

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Creatures of Nat 🙂 I just noticed I left out some things in my original comment so I’m going to edit it to actually make sense haha My son and I watch your videos together, he really liked this one. He doesn’t know fantastic beasts though, he just thinks it’s a platypus named Niffler 🤣

[@CreaturesofNat]

@@ArtByKarenEHaley Haha! Sounds like a great improvisation! Aw thanks sweet to hear, hmm maybe a movie night is in order! :)

[@edwardlupin7917]

I absolutely love it! So cute! Whoever is getting this gift is very lucky indeed

[@CreaturesofNat]

Thank you!

[@blackpoppy1159]

did you publish the pattern+tutorial you mention in the video

[@jai8746]

Very nice 🔥

How big were the eyes you used?

[@lisamaddox7860]

Awesome job!!! Just a quick tip- when using polymer clay (ie super sculpey) you can use clay softener, TLS or baby oil added to the clay to soften it to your liking. New sub! You're VERY talented! You captured the niffler PERFECTLY!!! ❤❤ Also, you could add liquid clay - (Bake and Bond or TLS aka translucent liquid Sculpey) before placing the prebaked nails in the unbaked clay for added strength. TLS works like a glue, especially when adding already baked clay to unbaked clay. In case you are concerned about them possibly coming out 😊 God bless ❤❤❤

[@CreaturesofNat]

Thanks! Yup I used some baby oil to soften it up a little. :) Thanks for subbing too!

[@lisamaddox7860]

@@CreaturesofNat No problem!! ❤

[@lady00303]

May I ask what kind of armature wire did you use (in terms of thickness) ? I'm making a niffy as well.. but am a newbie when it comes to wire. I love your tutorial, thanks.

[@CreaturesofNat]

I have a wire armature video on my channel that will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6Wxl4OobcaqhJY I also have a tutorial in my shop at creaturesofnat.com if you wanted a little more. :)

[@furrycatdino3486]

so amazing ! I love it can you make more figures of this film please😍

[@CreaturesofNat]

Thanks!

[@serasnathi4275]

Can you bake the head with glass eyes? Or is this a Problem? I just wanna start this hobby and I think you video has been incredible helpful ♡

[@CreaturesofNat]

I've never had an issue baking glass eyes, I usually set it a lower temperature and bake it for longer.

[@serasnathi4275]

Thank you :-) I started yesterday and am already frustrated because mine doesn't look so good as yours 😅 I have so much trouble with Sculpey because my hands are always so warm that everything is super soft and I can see my Fingerprints everywhere! I hope I'll finnish my started Nifflers, I wanted to make a big one and a baby 😁

[@CreaturesofNat]

@@serasnathi4275 Haha ah I think soft is a good thing! I'm not really a fan of using Super Sculpey, I fins it too hard, I much prefer softer clays to work with.

[@Gluttcio]

He is so cute! :3

[@CreaturesofNat]

Thanks!

[@freckles5959]

What do you use for cat whiskers? I've seen your cat commisions and it really brings the creation together!

[@CreaturesofNat]

You can use a range of different things like fishing wire, straw, feathers. have a play around and see what you like.

[@corvidwyrm4113]

Love it! So amazing Harry potter is amazing. Do you think you can try doing something from eragon? Or do I need to commission you for something like that?

[@echoraptor507]

*How is it that when I watch that movie (eragon)I keep running into stuff about it*

[@CreaturesofNat]

Thanks! I actually try to avoid making copyrighted characters, the Niffler was a gift for someone so I'm not selling it.

[@corvidwyrm4113]

Creatures of Nat ok, makes perfect sense, sorry ^^

[@xxdemonz_lustxx1649]

Or eragon

[@tacotung5705]

So Cool!

[@CreaturesofNat]

Thanks!

[@xxdemonz_lustxx1649]

Do toothless plz I’m wanting to see you do that one so badly

[@toastykiwis]

[@CreaturesofNat]

I do yes, feel free to send me a message through my website creaturesofnat.com :)
