to be a dollmaker, you have to be a painter, sculptor, 3d artist, seamstress, shoemaker, hair stylist, and so much more. truly a beautiful art form

not necessarily. Hextian on KZread doesn’t make his own clothes and doesn’t use a 3D printer, all that you really need is a somewhat descent understanding of how to draw and some paints/pastels and you’re set :)

I kinda disagree, as long as your heart is in the project you can use pre made doll clothes and shoes

That's what I love so much about it! I'm very much a multimedia artist- I just love all the different materials that can be used to make art. It makes it hard to settle on a more singular hobby since I want to do everything, so once I learned about doll customizing it felt like such a great way to use a wide variety of artistic methods. ❤

I totally get why you didn't like your first try on his head but I really liked how round and full cheeked he was with that one. The final product is amazing none the less. I'm very glad to see the inclusion of Jason.

I love him because he captures the look of like an actual child (even though it’s you know a cartoonish style). Too many dolls that are meant to look like young children feel really weird because they are hyper focusing on the cuteness.

Same! I love how the Greg doll has such a sweet and gentle but also mischievous aura about him, the sort of mischief that is simply enthusiasm and excitement that hasn't been thought through before acting on it because he's a child. To add on to what T_R_E_E said, I think with the mass produced child dolls anyway the big companies INSIST on adding such strong lip colors that even if they add subtle details to soften them, it often looks like the doll is wearing lipstick and I hate it. I get that makeup enhances everyone and it takes a lot of effort to make that effect appear entirely natural (child actors and ad models for example probably get touched up or air brushed as much as adults and they have to be super subtle about it) but it's jarring when they get it wrong, especially on dolls meant to be children or babies. That's what I've noticed anyway.

You can save worbla scraps! Keep all the tiny bits in a container and then you can reheat it and use it as moldable plastic clay stuff :D

I kinda want to see him together with the other doll 😝 It’s awesome you took the time to sculpt a head so they’d look like siblings

As a ventriloquist, I've always been fascinated with how the figures are made. You're very much like one of those artists. ONE person sculpts/carves the figure, paints it, attaches and styles the wig, makes the bodies, and dresses it. You have to be a jack of all trades in a way. Very impressive.

I’ve never seen Over the Garden Wall, but I might have to. This character looks so cute and mischievous. He’s just adorable!

Me too! I watched it after watching her video on Wirt!

He turned out perfect. And so adorable. They both really capture the cartoon pairs in 3D

You've designed his face and smile so perfectly, it brings me so so much joy ❤

a wonderful addition to the Wirt doll!! I love how you were able to capture Greg's whimsical energy and the two actors you chose as reference for your style translated amazingly to the final doll while still looking unique

he's soooooo cute 🥺😭 I'm so glad to see the brothers together and to hear that you're making Beatrice too

if you have worbla scrabs you can stack them and heat them up so they stick togerher and make it a big piece again :3 so no need to worry about scrabs that much. Have used this for years in cosplay and it works like a charm

I’ll take this video as a sign to finally watch OTGW!! I’ve been meaning to for some time now. Great doll!! I can tell he’s going to turn out amazing as always!!

Having just rewatched Over The Garden Wall last night, this video could not have come at a better time 🙏 he turned out so well (as did Wirt) can't wait to see Beatrice ☺️

He's absolutely adorable! His face is very sweet and expressive. Well done.

Over the garden gives me such uneasy vibes. I think it’s the style it’s drawn in, old creepy music paired with fever-dream-like surroundings. Kind of like old Disney princess movies, like Alice in the wonderland.

Your channel has inspired me to finally try making custom dolls of my own. They're not perfect, but I enjoy it very much and I think that's all that matters 🌷

those little shoes are just precious. I absolutely adore him! Your work is fantastic!

Oh my he’s so cute!! Doll Greg looks so cheeky and playful! I’m happy that the brothers are reunited at last

Oh he looks so sweet and mischevious! I adore the addition of his rock and Wirt Jr/ Jason Funderberger/ George Washington

Holy cow he’s absolutely gorgeous. Such a charming little chap! You really got the young boy cheeky-and-genuine-expression down. Truly a brilliant lad!! ❤️🐸

Love this just as much as the first one! I'm a huge fan of the show and I love the style you bring to this reimagining. I think charming is the best descriptor.

We missed you!!!!!!❤❤❤❤ simply exquisite as everything you do,i love the kind expresion he has on his face,simply stunning 😊❤

The papier-mâché wig cap is a game changer. It makes so much sense, I can't believe I never thought of it

I was just wandering yesterday when we'd get another video from you ! It seems like forever! Greg's adorable!😊

This video genuinely just made my entire night. Possibly entire coming week honestly. Over the Garden Wall is one of my favourite shows, heck, pieces of media in general that I’ve consumed haha. Your Gregory and little frog friend are both perfect, I love them

i fell asleep to this; there's a reason it says [relaxing], etellan's voice is so calming

Save all worbla scraps! You can melt tiny pieces together and use them the same way you use larger pieces. Love your doll vids

FINALLY A NEW VIDEO, and even better a secret over the garden, I love your work so much, your videos are therapeutic and wonderful, I miss you already, you are AWESOME 🌈💖

This doll is adorable and perfectly captures the character of Greg- that’s a rock fact! 𓆏

I love seeing you as an artist in the intro of your video! So lovely! An amazing creation!

aww he's adorable! such a dapper little gentleman!

To be gifted this video as summer basically has arrived in Sweden is such a lovely treat. Getting autumnal content this time of year is pure bliss, so thank you!

it feels like it's been forever since the spectra video, glad to have a new one!

after watching and adoring this show i wanted to find something that captures the vibe and feel of this show and watching the greg and wirt videos i fet that same feeling that i love so much. beautiful as always this video is so so cute❤

I love your greg! always so exciting to see your work and your unique style!!

I love Greg he is adorable. It was good that you let us see your mini tantrum I think I would have said a few more choice words when his head came off lol.

He's so darling and mischievous looking! I love the little frog and rock too ❤

Oh my gosh he is the sweetest, I love how you made his rock and his froggie too!😊

He turned out so adorable!!! he looks like such the little trouble maker- your version of Greg is so perfect!

he is so adorable!!! that's a rock fact!!

He turned out adorable and that's a rock fact! I can't wait for Beatrice!

Hi Etellen, I read in one of your photo's that Apollo past away, I am terribly sorry for the lost of your friend send you virtual hugs for comfortjust know that we're here for you, your bird buddy Apollo will always have a place in your memories & heart. Take as many time off you need, may your bird Apollo Rest in Peace.

Oh how I love your little guy! 🥰🥰🥰 He and his trinkets plus his lovely outfit are works of art and you are a wizard 🪄🪄🪄

Oh, he's wonderful! I'm so glad you made Greg to keep Wirt company. ;)

He looks absolutely fantastic, the process is also extremely enjoyable to watch! Great work :)

I love it so cute

I don't know how I missed this for a whole week, but I was so excited when I realized you'd posted a new video. I've been really depressed lately, and watching you and the other doll makers here on youtube genuinely brightens my day! Thank you so much for all that you do.

Etellan you are such an amazing person in your craft. Those are the hands of a person who puts their ALL into what they make!! They're so freaking beat up! Thanks for continuing this brother duo and I can't wait to see more!

Over the garden wall has been in the back of my mind to watch for forever and today I was reminded of it, then I checked KZread and saw this video and I took that as a sign to finally watch it. I absolutely adored it so thanks for convincing me to give the show a try haha

You really captured both characters with these dolls you’ve made, I’m in awe I love your work, and over the garden wall has been one of my favourite shows for years, so seeing these is really nice and I think you captured both Greg and Wirt very well!

What? No potatoes nor molasses? Great job. Can't wait to see a group pic. 😁

He turned out soo adorable! His faceup is done so well and that fabric for his overall is definitely perfect! SOOO CUTE!

Oh, I'm in love with Greg! He is just the cutest. You've done such a great job as usual.🥰

me and my sister could not stop squealing over how cute he is. THAT SMILE AND ALL THE PROPS 😭💖 And we are so glad that you plan on including a Beatrice doll ❤️🐦 BIG BIG KUDOS TO YOU 💖✨

I'm delighted that you made the rock as well as the frog. I feel bad for laughing when Apollo nibbled on Greg's face, but it IS a very bird-like thing to do. I'm looking forward to pictures of the siblings together!

I'm genuinely adoring these boy dolls 🥰🙌 they're the sweetest little things 🥺🥺

they look so cute together ! a complete set !

your greg is absolutely adorable!! one detail i'm fixating on is how amazing the worn look of the teapot is. it may be an artist thing to fixate on such a small thing, but i'm obsessed with the teapot

This is such a beautiful doll! Your sculpting on his face is just perfect.

Ah I love it!! Over the Garden wall is so beautiful and so underrated!! Even though its summer now, I feel like the Over the Garden Wall story and aesthetic never leaves my mind. I'm so happy you decided to make Greg since your Wirt doll was so cute and did the show so much justice. Such beautiful artwork!

He is absolutely adorable and so mischievous looking

Greg is ADORABLE! I can't wait to see him with his brother. Your voice is also exceptionally soothing, and you also have a really good choice of music. "Relaxing" is right. This is super ASMR, I love your videos so much.

Have you ever watched studio ghibli films? Your arts style is amazing and great work on the doll. Your Wort doll was that whole reason I watched over the garden wall. I now see why you like it. Great job!

Your videos are the reason I am and always will be obsessed with dolls

THAT LITTLE SMILE!! You sculpted the face beautifully!!

Your Over the Garden Walls are so beautiful. I've watched both videos several times these past few days 😅 they make me very relaxed. Thank you for sharing your art ❤

Yay Sydney gang haha (nice to see we're finally getting materials). I'm finally get into customising dolls, and just watching the way you work is very inspiring. I can tell you've dedicated so much time and effort into doing so well in your craft. Thank you for showing us your process! As for Greg here, I love him! He looks like the sweetest lil guy, definitely my favourite of the dolls I've seen you do.

I watched this cartoon because of your first video, so I am happy to see greg here too

This is such w cute doll! The accessories are especially wonderful, I could cry at how lovely everything is 😭

Aww, you can literally feel the love you put into greg! He's amazing

I found your channel when I was searching to see if there were any OTGW custom dolls and then I watched all the other videos. Really glad to see that Wirt have company now and that you're also planning on making Beatrice!

Omg yes, seeing Etellan post always makes my day.

AHHHHH HE IS SO CUTE!!!!! I BET WERT AND HIM LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER

He is definitely an adorable little doll great work on the 3d modelling. All his little props are so precious as well.

Scraps of worbla you can actually melt back together in the oven then press them down with a pan to make a new sheet

He's such a charming little doll. You did an amazing job!

He looks so good!!!

I missed your content so much! I love OTGW and your history + doll making process video of the radium girls and your plague doctor in the earlier videos was one of the most captivating things Ive seen in a long time, please do more of them!!

By the way you can reuse worbla scraps! You can heat them up to readhere them together into a ball then roll it out in a pasta roller.

I didn't know who Greg and Wirt were but, as I watch every one of your videos, I decided to check them out. They are both gorgeous works of art! I love everything about them! Be well and keep creating these wonders to share with the world.

he is cute as a button! well done :D My heart skipped a beat when his neck cracked! glad you got him fixed up.

I've never seen the show, but Wirt and Greg turned out so adorable! I love all of Greg's teeny accessories so much!

I always love your work! Greg and all his accessories look wonderful❤

I can never get over how stunning your art style is!!

Omg so excited!!! This is the sequel I didn't know I needed but am so happy to have! ❤

These videos always send me straight to sleep. You help me so much with my insomnia. Thank you Ettelan

This is unbelievable cool I love Greg so much and you put in so much work in 3D modeling and all the beautiful parts. I love seeing more of you on camera these days and the realities of those frustrating moments!

Oh he’s absolutely darling! Excellent choice of body, and your 3D sculpt of the head came out gorgeous!

This doll style is so cute i cant handle it!

Amazing job ❤ Greg looks so adorable 🥰

Oh my goodness!!❤ He's so beautiful!

Getting a second OTGW character from etellan is like christmas. Apollo taking a chonk out of Greg, 'Aint that just the way'

I just love your aesthetic and how real you are! Greg turned out so adorable! Can't wait to see your next video. ❤

Yet another beautiful doll. I absolutely love watching your videos, they’ve always got such a calming and almost cinematic feel to them. They always confort and inspire me. I’m so happy you added the rock and frog for him, it’s such cute details!

I look forward to every one of your new videos. Very beautiful work as always!

This is so cute,absolutely adorable. Your artwork is outstanding an the chilling when your parrot has been creating also is so lovley
