Leona's Workshop does garage kits but she does some 3D printed ones too. Some of the methods she uses to do her figures might help you out. She does shading with pastels, uses watercolor pencils for fine details, airbrushing, & explains the base and top costs to use for what she does. Her description boxes give a lot of info on what she uses. I don't do kits, I just like her art & personality lol. But I do crafty stuff & enjoy watching artists do their thing too 😊
Hi etellen, hope you're doing ok, I read one of your picture's of Apollo's passing, I am so sorry for your loss. May your sweet bird find peace in Heaven.🙏👼 Take as many time off you need, hope to see you soon.
Might be a weird suggestion, but I’d love to see a doll based on your beautiful bird friend! I think it could lend to a cool design, between the colors and his personality! If it’s something that inspires you, I’d love to see it!
Shes so pretty! I was a little worried about the blueish grey skin, but it blends perfectly with the faceup. I was just rewatching some old videos, so im so happy you posted.
you can tell with the outtro of you posing her that you absolutely loved her and how you got to have a dream come true. It makes me smile. Love the little outfit shes wearing its adorable
You explain everything so clearly and simply that a person that knows nothing of how these machines works can understand perfectly. Why not call that model the "Etti" model,after you of course. ❤
The doll, the faceup, the outfit, the feisty etellan commentary, birb cameo, the editing..... this whole thing is a masterpiece. I missed your videos, but man, this was worth waiting for. Absofrickinlutely amazing job
Getting blushing to look right on grey is SO HARD and you did it beautifully!! She turned out soooo cutie, you captured the floaty sparkly eye effect incredibly with all your layers. And congrats on sculpting the entire doll!!! For name options I feel like Astraya (Uh-stray-uh) or Santhe (like from Chrysanthemum) might be really cute!
do they make the transparent mix in other colors or could you put some of the cmyk into the transparent mix ? i feel like having a transparent colored doll would be super neat !! or maybe even making some body parts (like the legs or hands) transparent and some pieces opaque ? love the way the doll turned out, shes so cute !! (also ur bird is sooo precious !!)
i'm pretty sure there's transparent resin for printers. if you're interested in seeing a transparent doll, moonlight jewel recently made one in her 10h vs 100h doll video. just based on that one, transparent bjds do look incredible and i'd love ettelan to make one like that.
We get to see your personality in this video more than any other imo and I love it! You seem so sweet and fun (always have but it shines through more in this one)!
This one came out super cute! I really appreciate more people making and documenting the process of custom 3d-printed dolls. It opens up soooo many possibilities for the kinds of dolls people can make in the future, and also more hope that some of my favorite dolls will expand from super limited manufacturing runs to dolls I can have printed myself when the main stock runs out.
She turned out so gorgeous!!! The sculpt is amazing, I love the sort of doe-eyed quality to the face. She looks so cute! I really liked the touch of the embroidery thread on the shoes too! 💗
Good to see you back. She turned out really cute, love the pastels. When you were showing the clear one I couldn't help thinking it would look so cool with blue LEDs and clothes made from iridescent vinyl.
I absolutely adore the skirt and leg warmer combo! Making them out of the same fabric is a great idea, kudos to the fashion icons who brought this look back! You could call the head "Lan", from etellan! Or Ella, if you prefer a more traditionally-effeminate sound.
AHHH!!! I'm so excited!! I'm so happy you finished the custom model you worked to create and they turned out amazing!!! What if you call her Estelle? similar to your channel name, but unique and elegant!
I'm so excited to see you back and your doll looks so cute! To me she looks like a "Kit", both in reference to garage or resin kits (on the side of creativity and customization) and that she gives me the same playful and sweet vibe you see in baby foxes and kittens!
Etellan, you should post in the community tab with a link that you posted a new video, so that people won’t miss it. I think it’s a good idea to do it. Maybe even twice. Like one the same day and one the day after or 2 days later. You should try it 👍
The pure JOY I felt seeing a notification from this channel. I'd just walked in from a long day of college and scrambled to get into my pyjamas and get to the kitchen for a hot cup of tea so I could sit and watch. Gorgeous doll, as always 💞
I love how your birb needed to inspect the sweater, so cute💕 So happy you’re back as well, your customizing and doll making videos are so comforting to watch!🫶🏽
Doll looks amazing. So much work and precision. Truly a precious little thing. ❤ I'd really wanted to make her in some fancy gothic lolita style for sure. Be
Love the doll and I saw you have a monogatari figure of the doll girl it would be so cool to make here as a doll I would love to see that I love that you’re back btw I missed your videos they were always so calming!
as a name suggestion I'd say 'Julie' soemthing about her just strikes me as a Julie! I loved the final look, my fave part was the delicate little stars in the corner of her eyes, they're such a good focal point in her face and draw the viewer to her gorgeous eyes as well!! thanks again for a sweet relaxing video! I always love settling down with a cup of tea when watching your videos! I think I would've made her a little refaire outfit! soemthing with a bunch of skirt layers and patterns
This doll is so pretty and basically what my style has been evolving to, I just wanna be her 😩 lmao I don't think I comment often on doll videos, but I want to say that I get really excited anytime I see you posted something new. Your videos give off a very calming vibe and it just makes me so intrinsically happy.
I love to watch your videos ♥️ it’s always nice to see you in them too! I’d love to resin print one of your dolls, and would probably go full Mori, Cottagecore, Autumnal, with teeny tiny antlers on top! 🤎🦌🍄
Nice to see you back making videos! Hope your travels abroad were fun :)! The doll is amazing and honestly this could be a cool series making monochrome dolls see how you could use different shades of colours and maybe some complimentary coloured details in the outfits :) I'd love to see a green monochrome doll ^^.
She is so pretty!!! Your attention to detail is so cool. I seriously have so much respect for the sheer amount of work and effort you put into not only your dolls, but your videos.
Etellan!! You sound SO HAPPY! While I watched this video (welcome back btw!!) I had a smile on MY face because the sheer joy I could hear from you was infectious! Keep going!!!
I just found this channel today and it's definitely gonna be the comfort channel I binge until I run out of videos. While I'm not in this hobby the process and your voice are so relaxing to watch and listen to while I widdle away at other tasks. Amazing work and craftsmanship.
Every few months I stumble on a doll customizing video and my Deuce doll I recently purchased becomes more and more tempting... maybe I'll repaint him this winter xD
She's so cute! and your little assistant is too!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes clothes from old socks for their dolls, my Jimin doll has an oversized hoody I made from a Christmas sock that I dissected! Craft on my friend! Greetings from New England💜
i love this new video style!! i’ve been watching your videos for around 5 years now and seeing you grow as an artist and creator has been amazing. another fantastic video and amazing creation!!
Ohmygoddd i love her so much!!! I’m so happy for you that you got to make your own doll from scratch, she came out amazing!! You always surprise me when you post a new video, they just keep getting better and better🥹🩷
I love it when ur bird makes a cameo in your videos. I also have a green cheek conure named noodle :) adore your work as always! The eyes turned out so mesmerizing. Probably one of my favorite dolls you’ve made so far!
She looks absolutely stunning and so so adorable! 😍 So good to have you back! I missed your videos so much! She is absolutely gorgeous and I am so happy for you! You are a brilliant artist! 😍 I think Harajuku would be a cute name for her! When I went to Japan in 2010 and went to Harajuku I saw so many awesome outfits and leg warmers, that's what made me obsessed with them! Absolutely an amazing accessory! You have truly outdone yourself! I love your videos and your art so much! 💜💙 Thank you so much for sharing! 💖
I love your doll! Sculpting a BJD is amazing congratulations on finishing her! I would absolutely love to print her and customize her, I think I would make her purple and taro tea themed.
omg...she is gorgeous! Would love to have one to customize...I could see doing a sweet fairy with that face sculpt--she is just adorable! Great job, Etellan!:)
It's so great to have you back! I've always loved your videos, so relaxing and fun. You're personality really shined through in this one and was so lovely!
i’ve been watching you since your junji ito uzumaki doll repaint and i won’t ever stop enjoying your videos, it’s so cool to see how far you’ve come and i love all the dolls you paint/ make. A few years ago i tried to make my own (failed miserably), even though i have a phobia of dolls since i was a kid. But watching your videos, so comforting and well made i wanted to try it on my own and my mum bought me the same little scissors (with the bird on it) and it brings me joy to see it in every video of yours. Thank you for your wonderful content throughout the years :)

I wish I could make a doll like that could you teach us?
Hi etellen, hope you're doing ok, I read one of your picture's of Apollo's passing, I am so sorry for your loss. May your sweet bird find peace in Heaven.🙏👼
Take as many time off you need, hope to see you soon.
Missed your videos! An Etellan video always means relaxing time!
Might be a weird suggestion, but I’d love to see a doll based on your beautiful bird friend! I think it could lend to a cool design, between the colors and his personality! If it’s something that inspires you, I’d love to see it!
I love your style, it's so gorgeous!! It must have taken forever to figure out how to work your supplies so expertly
I think I might speak for everyone when I say we missed you and your wonderful art 🎨
Im happy your back 🎉
Shes so pretty! I was a little worried about the blueish grey skin, but it blends perfectly with the faceup. I was just rewatching some old videos, so im so happy you posted.
looking back on it, she reminds me a little of abbey, but if her style was Harajuku instead of mountain queen
you can tell with the outtro of you posing her that you absolutely loved her and how you got to have a dream come true. It makes me smile.
Love the little outfit shes wearing its adorable
The line "Don't leave anything around me, I'll make clothes out of it," really resonates with me as a cosplayer
You explain everything so clearly and simply that a person that knows nothing of how these machines works can understand perfectly.
Why not call that model the "Etti" model,after you of course. ❤
The doll, the faceup, the outfit, the feisty etellan commentary, birb cameo, the editing..... this whole thing is a masterpiece. I missed your videos, but man, this was worth waiting for. Absofrickinlutely amazing job
Рада, что вас было в этом видео чуть больше. Вы такая милая!
И куколка вышла такой нежной, словно розовое облачко в рассветном небе.
The transparent resin, you should make a ‘glass’ doll! I think it would be cool, like a glass goddess or something. Entirely your choice!!
I have a feeling this doll would be besties with that brightly colored anime demon doll you made a while back!
Getting blushing to look right on grey is SO HARD and you did it beautifully!! She turned out soooo cutie, you captured the floaty sparkly eye effect incredibly with all your layers. And congrats on sculpting the entire doll!!! For name options I feel like Astraya (Uh-stray-uh) or Santhe (like from Chrysanthemum) might be really cute!
You’re back yay!!!!!!! ❤
She's so ethereal and fairy-like!! Your ideas are always so delicate and thoughtful. Name ideas: Phantasia, Giselle, Aurora, Lyra
I love your videos and your ideas and your dolls when I was young i love play with them too much I hope that dolls will continue existing
"Don't leave anything unattended around me or I'll make clothes out of it" Love that! Also glad to see you back! 💚
The "AHH!" after dropping the head is the most relatable sound I have ever heard😂😂😂 I make that noise every single day lol. Amazing video as always!❤
do they make the transparent mix in other colors or could you put some of the cmyk into the transparent mix ? i feel like having a transparent colored doll would be super neat !! or maybe even making some body parts (like the legs or hands) transparent and some pieces opaque ? love the way the doll turned out, shes so cute !!

As an avid viewer, I am perfectly alright with the bird staying in frame, I might even suggest more showings of him
Let's appreciate the effort she puts into her videos! 💖
Name ideas: Bubblegum, Taffie, Sakura, Chrysanthemum, Heather, and Lola
She turned out so gorgeous!!! The sculpt is amazing, I love the sort of doe-eyed quality to the face. She looks so cute! I really liked the touch of the embroidery thread on the shoes too! 💗
As soon as I saw her cute little face, the name Elodie immediately popped in my head! Beautiful work as always ^^
i thought of Melodie or Mollie :)
Good to see you back. She turned out really cute, love the pastels. When you were showing the clear one I couldn't help thinking it would look so cool with blue LEDs and clothes made from iridescent vinyl.
I loved the doll character so pretty 😊
Like if she a popular character of another universe merch would be made of her 🙃
You’re doll is so adorable! She reminds me of the Arctic, maybe “Aura” would be a cute name?
I absolutely adore the skirt and leg warmer combo! Making them out of the same fabric is a great idea, kudos to the fashion icons who brought this look back!
You could call the head "Lan", from etellan! Or Ella, if you prefer a more traditionally-effeminate sound.
im actually so excited omg, i watch your videos every single night to help me sleep and seeing a new one pop up has actually made my week :,)
I'm so glad you get to finally put a dream youve had for years to life, glad to have you back ettellan
AHHH!!! I'm so excited!! I'm so happy you finished the custom model you worked to create and they turned out amazing!!! What if you call her Estelle? similar to your channel name, but unique and elegant!
I was thinking the same thing
I'm so excited to see you back and your doll looks so cute! To me she looks like a "Kit", both in reference to garage or resin kits (on the side of creativity and customization) and that she gives me the same playful and sweet vibe you see in baby foxes and kittens!
I just checked her account before I went to sleeping hoping I didn’t miss any videos AND THEN SHES POST THE DAY AFTER. I’ve been blessed
Welcome back Etellan, Oh my wow, your doll looks gorgeous! Hope your doing ok see you next time.
