Needle felting a Mizutsune

Watch me felt a Mizutsune! This guy was a commission and took a heck of a long time to make. The footage for the video was over 45 hours long and I didn't even record every bit of it! Mizu's my favorite from monster hunter so I can't complain about having to make him again!
This is my first fully edited and voiced video i've made so I hope I did a good job! I know some parts were really blurry or the whites were really bright, I don't have the best camera in the world and it doesn't know how to focus sometimes (much like me). Please let me know how I did, I'd love to hear feedback!

When you over felt a portion, this can be resolved by a technique i saw in another video. This has been my problem as well. Add smaller pieces of wool to the project at a time, the way a sculptor of clay would work. This is best used on the parts like the head. I saw them always fold a piece of wool in half and use the folded edge as a leading side of a muscle or the forehead of the dragon. Pretend that you are using clay instead of wool. Just add each of the smaller pieces of wool with less felting and then when you have finish the basic shape, you can go over the entire piece with the needle and it all just shrinks down. I love this dragon and want to make one!

Gorgeous 10/10 I'm still just a beginner at needle felting and this is so inspiring

[@MireilleMcNally]

An extraordinary artist, thank you for the inspiration and tricks of the trade.

[@HoiArts]

Amazing!🤩

[@poogissploogis]

This deserves millions of views, this is a masterpiece!

[@hayannoran]

This is so pretty and cool!!! Needlefelting details that well is such an incredible skill, I love this !!!

[@frappefrank6415]

You put a lot of work into the video and your art, it's awesome! Keep up the good work!!!

[@Thekarrybird]

Thank you so much!

[@sallyliali7813]

Girl u rock I made a dragon a few years ago watching u I realized we are doing same things 👍

[@cariad_se]

Very inspiring! Genious to add the legs like that, I have always incorporated them into the "skeleton" but this is much better. I actually made a base yesterday for a long, thin monster, and then I saw this - I will let myself be inspired by it! Many thanks!

[@Thekarrybird]

Thank you! Yeah i find making the whole skeleton connected really limits your felting mobility around the figure. Trying to felt the armpits when there's all that wire in there is a nightmare!

[@rainbow.kadoatie]

Absolutely amazing. This is the level of workmanship that I aspire to.

[@Xitech117]

Really nice video, excelent work!!!! great video, great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it

[@Thekarrybird]

Awe thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it!

[@furrydwagon]

Never knew these took so long to make damn, that was just amazing to watch. Mizutsune is imo the best monster they ever made and this sculpture just matches it perfectly :D

[@Thekarrybird]

Oh yeah these big guys especially are quite an undertaking! Thank you!! I also agree mizu is the best monster by far! I always main his weapons and armor lol.

[@flatline-timer]

I really hope you make more videos, this one was such a delight to watch

[@Thekarrybird]

Awe i will be! I have another video i have that i've been sitting on for a while but i will be getting that one out sometime soon!

[@djlovesmusic]

What a work of art! Just a beautiful beast and a well-done video. I just wish there were a wide shot to see it in its entirety from head to tail.

[@huckleberryfarm4407]

Absolutely Amazing! You're a true artist, thank you for sharing.

[@7thDaughter]

I've learned so much from this and your felting skills are phenomenal. Thank you for sharing :)

[@doriskarloff964]

Brilliant video - and such attention to detail in the design and the actual felting. ♥

[@paulineneo63]

Awesome job

[@sivsi6598]

So glad I found your channel! This is amazing

[@WhitneyYadonArt]

I never thought to tie down the first layer! That's brilliant

[@Thekarrybird]

Ever since I learned to do that it's helped so much!!

[@3karadzhova]

[@Thekarrybird]

[@cathierosa3730]

@@Thekarrybird Trying to do for my son who loves Dragon. So I have to push myself so he could have a dragon. Do you have any patterns and measurements?

[@Thekarrybird]

@@cathierosa3730 I don't have any patterns unfortunately, I go entirely by eye. I did use many detailed references for this dragon in particular though!

[@juliawhite7938]

Great information. Thanks

[@lolacc7837]

Me encanta!

[@beahenderson6589]

Absolutely loved watching you, music was too loud though, yes I can turn it down but then I can’t hear you! But will be watching more 😊

[@Thekarrybird]

Ah good to know, I'll try to mix the audio better next time! Thank you! :)

[@mirrikybird]

I had no idea these were so BIG!

[@Thekarrybird]

Yes, they are large men! This one is actually the smallest i've made so far haha.

[@ruthfrewerd7130]

How long does it take to finish

[@Thekarrybird]

This guy took about 2 months of work!
