She’s gorgeous. I am of Polynesian decent, her facial shape, the strong yet soft body type. She reminds me of the stronger and wiser aunts and mothers of my family.
I'm Polynesian too!! (Half samoan & half Maori) I love the way Katherine incorporated everything into Terra's design!!! Terra reminds me of my aunties too!
I'm Maori and I love watching her videos and how she appreciates and educates her viewers on different cultures and researches so its accurate information I love seeing others talk about our culture
I'm Maori and I was also very impressed with the references to wider Polynesian culture. I was initially worried about her being Polynesian inspired whilst being heavy set due to negative stereotypes of Polynesians being overweight, but I was glad to see the inspiration for her full figure was more broadly inspired by other cultural and art depictions depictions of motherly figures representing fertility and life 💜
what I really love about dolllightful is unlike lots of creators(in any medium not just dolls) when creating fantasy characters she doesn’t default to white/European features. I feel lots of people when creating someone in a fantasy world, when they are of an unnatural skin color especially, they default to euro features but she doesn’t do that. She includes many different facial features and hair types and is very respectful of other cultures when she pulls from them! overall 11/10 love to see it!!
And people still bullied her into deleting her Wendigo doll video, even though it was an amazing doll that was well-researched and made with nothing but love for native American culture
yeah I really appreciate that!! most people draw very eurocentric characters, even when they're anime characters that are clearly not white. it's really disappointing how that's considered the default for character design
@@bloodybee3553 She said herself that SHE researched it and SHE chose to take it down. It's going an incredible disservice to Dollightful to claim that she was bullied into it instead of doing her own research and making her own adult decision. A lot of people were against it and supportive of the doll, no doubt far more people then anyone "bullying" her, but Dollightful herself said she wasn't discussing it because she made her choice. Why can't people make new decisions based on information given?
I really like how she doesn't forget about the small details (ex. The moss, the curling of the dreadlocks, the lighting, the little cracks in the wood and rocks ECT. ). I also love how much research she does on every project. Her work is just magnificent.
I showed this video to my parents as proof that not everything I watch on youtube is dumb. My mother, as an artist, was completly amzed and fell in love with your works of art. To say the least, my parents are very interested. They ended up wanting to watch more. My dad really liked the goat man. I am very thankfull that you put time and care into your projects and then show them to all of us :)
When I first saw her face, I’ll admit I was a bit taken aback. My brain was so used to seeing the monster high sculpts I guess. But now she looks even more gorgeous. What can I say, Terra really grew on me.
Okay- But can we appreciate Katherine’s diverse representation in her art? Her dolls have so many different ethnicities, body types, and ... species? Not to mention she always respects and celebrates different cultures.
Dollightful with Aquarien: "Instead of a personification of the ocean, think of this dragon as a creature inhabiting it." Dollightful with Terra: *straight-up just makes an earth goddess*
@@Dollightful I love you videos and do you think you can make a water dragon male doll and a fire dragon male doll I think all elements would be great but I rarely see people custom males and I love your work but can you please make a male any elements you want I look forward to your work

With the hard work of all us dollightful fans, I'm sure we can make this work! I dont really care about your level of writing skills- just want to see this completed
I really love how all the dragons have their own cultural aesthetic Aurora has a general RPG aesthetic (maybe European?) Nyx has a Greek aesthetic Zephie has an east Asian aesthetic and now Terra has a Polynesian aesthetic. She's almost like the earth goddess from moana, but way cooler this is definitely one of your best dolls, and the little glow in the dark details give me LiFe-
And people still bullied her into deleting her Wendigo doll video, even though it was an amazing doll that was well-researched and made with nothing but love for native American culture
@@bloodybee3553 almost as if multiple native americans whos culture (which BTW isn't all of them bc "native american culture" isn't a thing, theres MULTIPLE cultures from different tribes) has the winter cannibal is like "hey don't do this please, this isn't a creature that should be celebrated or even who's name should be said aloud" and guess what! Dollightful listened to them bc shes a good person, unlike you :)
@@bloodybee3553 she wasn't bullied, there were hardly any comments about it. Still are hardly any comments about it. You're just making stuff up to be angry about.
I love how physically, she’s lower to the ground compared to the other dragon dolls. Also, the larger build and the bigger legs really contributed to the “grounded” look. She’s beautiful!
and the tail that is supposed to help animals like dinos walk easier and no wings is one of my favorite details! i just love the tail and no wings idk why
“I hope I’ve earned the right to use the 3D printer.” Girl, given what you can make on a penny, I am both curious and terrified what you could make with all the time/resources in the world at your disposal
the way you describe the fuller body type made me feel so good about my body. I've never heard more beautiful and positive words like that regarding fuller body types. Thank you so much! I am binging your videos tonight, and your sculpting, creativity, and talent have me hooked!!
She does these videos in a way if you want to recreate something similar. Also, I noticed that your profile picture is drawn by Drawing Wiff Waffels! I'm also a fan of her.
@@peksioart6706 yea, Drawing Wiff Waffles is the best! I've gotten a few comments about my profile pic on comments on Dollightful vids, birds of a feather flock together I guess
I’d like to think she can’t actually _fly_ with her wings, rather she uses them to boost herself with gusts of wind for faster land travel like sprinting to urgencies
I like how the family is coming together. So far terra looks the most like a stern yet loving mother while Aurora and zephy look like her daughters, Aurora being the oldest and more mature and zephy being the youngest wilder child. And then nyx looks like the cool aunt that comes by and teaches them how to pick locks and stuff.
The fact that she researches the cultures she's inspired by in order to be respectful is a literal breath of fresh air also a plus sized doll? LOVE THIS
i now have a headcanon that terra’s look changes throughout the season (green and leafy in spring/summer, warm browns, oranges and yellows in autumn/fall, and sparse in vegetation in winter) this doll would be her summer look
To be fair, she is tropical inspired so I think her plant portions would be the same year-round, but I do like that headcanon a lot! Earth dragons based on other types of forests and season would be so pretty too
I saw someone else mention that the sea-themed dragon should have scarring or injuries and I really like that idea, maybe a missing limb or a severed back fin, they could even be blind if you go for a more spooky deep-sea look, which I think would look pretty cool in contrast with your other oceanic dolls
Yeah that seems a good idea! I also feel like the Earth dragon should be damaged, too. How we treat the Earth is horrible. I feel like it would show on the character.
And also I imagine that she occasionally carries Zephie around piggyback even though Zephie is possibly a little too old for it (Terra doesn’t even care on Zephie’s age at all-)
@@blueflamefae7898 she is obviously the mother of the group she carries around hand made bandages (so she doesn't create any unneeded trash) and other important things
she looks like she's been asleep for hundreds of years and a whole bunch of moss and plants grew on her and now she's awake and they're a part of her now
She looks like she was still for thousands of years in the woods, and finally woke back up to help the others on whatever quest they're going on, maybe just exploring the world they live in. I really want to write a story about them once they're all done! They've all been so gorgeous and full of personality so far! Well done!!
Maybe all of the dragons are friends and this one is the motherly friend of the group. The wind one is more bubbly and chill, while the dark dragon is mysterious and eerie but has a soft spot for their friends. :) And that other dragon who looks like a vaperwave.. I'd say they are more energetic.
My headcannon is aurora is the only dragon where she lives and believes she's the last dragon until she finds the book detailing the elemental dragon's so she goes on a quest to meet the other dragons nyx is a dark and mysterious dragon whom may appears dark on the outside is really kind on the inside zephy while young and a bit immature does know when to take things seriously and terra is the oldest and most whies and considerd the leader of dragon's that's all i got so far
This is probably my favorite doll she's ever made! Not a single detail was missed! The wood and rocks look super realistic, and I love how the horns look like trees! Every detail adds a noticeable difference and I'm obsessed with it!
i was thinking maybe take inspiration from teka todoroki, someones oc which is amazing btw. use the same idea for hair, or at least try to mimic that idea.
You are crazy talented! My friend recommended this video to me and I'm so glad she did. The only thing is the term 'dreadlocks' is offensive as the hairstyle was seen as disgusting or unsightly. The right term to use is 'locs'.
Herm ? Ive seen people with that kind of hair style call them dreadlocks before tho :O ? And i mean people who can have that kind of hairstyle without it looking like a mess (looking at you, white people)
I love how She does her research in each and every project, she make sure she knows what she’s talking about and she goes in to get fine-tune sources to match the doll that she’s going for, it’s just such an inspiration
yesssss! help from family can always be useful. even if you don’t use the ideas they give you, it can still inspire you, and they can also help with doing the project when you need an extra pair of hands or you need someone to pick something up for you and your elaborate project.
I love how she never grabs stuff from cultures without researching first, I’ve seen many creators add random stuff from other cultures without any form of research and end up butchering the meaning of the stuff so bad, but she takes the time to research each project she makes is amazing
@@rubadubdub_2805 She made a Wendigo doll for halloween. She did research before she made the doll and the Wendigo is apparently an Indiginous horror tale. When she thought she did enough research she made the doll, but it turns out she made an offensive representation to idiginous culture. Therefore, she removed every trace of the wendigo doll and wishes to never speak of it again.
I love her design! What I think is most interesting is the wooden limbs. To me she is a dragon of earth and stone, and maybe she lost a leg and an arm in battle or something and grew vines and trees into prosthetics of some sort.
I feel like she was like a “normal” dragon who loved being in the forest and in natural and always made a point to take care of the earth. And then one days she was injured(maybe protecting some forest from someone who wanted to destroy it) and so the earth felt bad and healed her.
I feel like Terra is the first dragon doll to look and feel like she’s made of whatever ‘element’ she’s representing, rather than a dragon whose affinity is to the element. It’s really cool!! Excellent job :3
Well the other elements that have been made don't work and I don't remember what the original dragon's element was. Water may be able to look like it's made of water, but the others aren't like solids or anything
Oh, this wasn’t like, saying the other dragons SHOULD look like their elements, haha. They all look fantastic and represent their elements really well! I was just saying that this one hit a little different-they’re all wonderful dragons and I’m super pumped for the rest of the dragon series.
I love seeing the dolls that represent a broad scope of people. Don’t get me wrong. I love slim women, and I get that that’s the easiest to make because of the already sculpted bases. But there’s something so wonderful about seeing you make a larger woman, or a darker-skinned man, or a non binary character, or a non-traditionally attractive goat man from hell. Those have to be my favourite from your channel. They not only stand out, but they’re just so wonderful because it shows so many different people. You even mention small things like sharper features or almond eyes and you take so much inspiration from other cultures!!! I just love how comfortable you are making these dolls and not being afraid to do things, and to do things so well! You truly embody the creative process!
You said that the moss gives it a more magical, mysterious feeling. Maybe it’s because moss implies that an object (such as a tree or rock) has been there for a long time, so it gives your doll a more ancient and powerful feeling. As though Terra were the goddess version of The Iron Giant
the usage of a plus-sized model doll is magnificent! ugh, this doll is possibly one of my favourites of the elemental series. the dark dragon is my second. it's amazing. you should totally make more plus-sized dolls!!! you're awesome
I come back and watch this video frequently. I just cant get enough of all of the details, colors, and textures Katherine worked into this doll. They rigidness of the stone and the smooth lines of the wood are exquisite!
i love how i found this channel: i fell asleep and woke up to a very loud “ANYUNG” or however you spell it and i’ve been watching her videos every since
I feel like she's the mom friend/ the mother figure of the group, always keeping an eye on them with her tree eye and the nature around her girls you know?
I just wanted to say that I've been struggling with my body type my whole life, and seeing this character being plus sized and hearing you talk about how it's idealized in early civilization, I cried with joy! Thank you so much for this character!
It makes me feel happy that there is more representation for those who aren't often seen as normal or natural when what we see in media, when media is what's causing it to seem wrong. All bodies are georgous and deserve love.
Before- Dollightful: **Switches two dolls' heads** This is a drastic change Now- Dollightful: **Makes a head almost entirely out of scrap, sculpts a good chunk of this doll up, digitally sculpted tail, this entire doll in general** This is normal
In the sketch, her face looks very calm and “harmonious“ I guess. But the doll’s face looks more like it belongs in an Hawaiian tribe or something. And because that was your inspiration, I think it works really god!
Kairi Mazanet o sorry I meant like the other person had a sad face thing and it looks like their sad or annoyed bc they didn’t spell it right?? idk sorry if I offended u
this is my favourite doll you've made, the amount of love, time and effort put into this all adds up into such beautiful character, whilst embracing culture
Her child, not knowing the monster there about to uleash: hey mom, i got an art project from school to do, can you help me? Katherine: *yeeAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!*
That concept is...mildly horrifying, especially if you think about what the human equivalent would look like if you swapped the doll for a living human
Kathrine is slowly turning from a doll customizer to a whole *SURGEON*
If her TH-cam career flops, she got another possible career!!!
I know right? And her knowledge on anatomy makes it even better!
Birdiee dool surgeon
Dr Dollightful doll plastic surgeon
I mean... you’re not wrong...
She seems like a ancient dragon and could be a warrior or strict mother.
YES
Both rly :))
That's exactly what my first thought was! 😆
My headcanon is that Terra is the Eldest of the Dragon series Dolls and that she's the "Mother" of the group
So Demeter?
She’s gorgeous. I am of Polynesian decent, her facial shape, the strong yet soft body type. She reminds me of the stronger and wiser aunts and mothers of my family.

Old dollightfull: I'm switching two dolls heads! This is so drastic!
Current dollightfull: so I'm making a whole new body and head for the doll-
why are there no replies
I’ll do you one better, 4
How about 5, good sir?
Alright calm down we all know that I hold the world record, 7
How purrrfect! I shall be your 17th, m’lady! (If you get this reference, you’ll be my favorite commenter of the night.)
Ugh! She’s my fav! She looks like she can beat you up, but still has a Sephora Rouge membership.
I imagine some caveman was sculpting on her leg and they just wake up, and see someone chiseling a statue in her leg like “AYO wtf-“
YESSS
Omg it’s like a tattoo
She looks like she was still for thousands of years in the woods, and finally woke back up to help the others on whatever quest they're going on, maybe just exploring the world they live in. I really want to write a story about them once they're all done! They've all been so gorgeous and full of personality so far! Well done!!
Maybe all of the dragons are friends and this one is the motherly friend of the group.
The wind one is more bubbly and chill, while the dark dragon is mysterious and eerie but has a soft spot for their friends. :)
And that other dragon who looks like a vaperwave.. I'd say they are more energetic.
@@Creatorsan Without a doubt!
That would be epic! I’d totally buy that
My headcannon is aurora is the only dragon where she lives and believes she's the last dragon until she finds the book detailing the elemental dragon's so she goes on a quest to meet the other dragons nyx is a dark and mysterious dragon whom may appears dark on the outside is really kind on the inside zephy while young and a bit immature does know when to take things seriously and terra is the oldest and most whies and considerd the leader of dragon's that's all i got so far
The pillar men from JoJo
This is probably my favorite doll she's ever made! Not a single detail was missed! The wood and rocks look super realistic, and I love how the horns look like trees! Every detail adds a noticeable difference and I'm obsessed with it!
Totally agree. So much detail! It’s so beautiful!
Same a agree the details are beutifuly realistic
katherine has more diversity in her dolls than most corporate companies have in their models
Thata a roast
Facts
Shots fired
*facts*
period.
I love her, and I’m so glad that she is plus sized.
I struggle with weight and it nice to see a large built character!
Well done Kathrine!
I like to think that the water dragon's hair would resemble a waterfall and the fire dragon's hair would be like smoke or a flame.
Like flame princess from adventure time!
i was thinking maybe take inspiration from teka todoroki, someones oc which is amazing btw. use the same idea for hair, or at least try to mimic that idea.
We have Flareon as a fire-doll already. So maybe other fire like Lava or even a phoenix type of dragon nut I think that would be too far 😂
Tbh I think it would be cool to do no hair for the fire dragon
Haha yes! 😋

You are crazy talented! My friend recommended this video to me and I'm so glad she did.
The only thing is the term 'dreadlocks' is offensive as the hairstyle was seen as disgusting or unsightly. The right term to use is 'locs'.
Herm ? Ive seen people with that kind of hair style call them dreadlocks before tho :O ?
And i mean people who can have that kind of hairstyle without it looking like a mess (looking at you, white people)
You lean somethign new everyday! I hear the term tossed around a lot so I didn’t know it was offensi
So glad someone else mentioned this! Immediately thought that when she said it, altho i know she meant no harm
Never knew that term was offensive 😮 I've think I've only ever heard that hairstyle referred to as that name so thanks for spreading awareness
I love how She does her research in each and every project, she make sure she knows what she’s talking about and she goes in to get fine-tune sources to match the doll that she’s going for, it’s just such an inspiration
Disney could use her... 😶
Mackenzie Devaney oop. Tea SPILLED
ok but can we all take a moment to appreciate her husband though? I'm sure whenever she gets frustrated with a project hes there to help. We stan him.
Thank you unnamed husband!!
Stan him yesss
Stan hubby
yes! her family, and especially her husband, is so helpful in her craft. it is really sweet how much of a collaboration most of her dolls can be :D
yesssss! help from family can always be useful. even if you don’t use the ideas they give you, it can still inspire you, and they can also help with doing the project when you need an extra pair of hands or you need someone to pick something up for you and your elaborate project.
I love how she never grabs stuff from cultures without researching first, I’ve seen many creators add random stuff from other cultures without any form of research and end up butchering the meaning of the stuff so bad, but she takes the time to research each project she makes is amazing
Even Mattel did this already💀💀
She messed up with the wendigo, but yes besides from that mistake shes really respectful.
@@SuchSweetChaos mind me asking how she messed up? Just curious cuz I didn't get to see the comments on her apology video
@@rubadubdub_2805 She made a Wendigo doll for halloween. She did research before she made the doll and the Wendigo is apparently an Indiginous horror tale. When she thought she did enough research she made the doll, but it turns out she made an offensive representation to idiginous culture. Therefore, she removed every trace of the wendigo doll and wishes to never speak of it again.
@@SuchSweetChaos lmao kind of sounds like the viewers just wanted something to complain about but it's not my place to judge ig
I love her design!
What I think is most interesting is the wooden limbs. To me she is a dragon of earth and stone, and maybe she lost a leg and an arm in battle or something and grew vines and trees into prosthetics of some sort.
I feel like she was like a “normal” dragon who loved being in the forest and in natural and always made a point to take care of the earth. And then one days she was injured(maybe protecting some forest from someone who wanted to destroy it) and so the earth felt bad and healed her.
Sabrina Sullivan
Ooh! So like, a wildfire started raging and she tried her best to put it out but suffered some casualties in the process
Ooo and maybe her and the fire dragon are enemies because the fire dragon started a fire in the forest she tried to protect
This is the best idea here
Bella thank you!!!
@@bella9698 yea honestly she could have these characters animated and put into an anime or even a children animation series?
I love how she actually researches other cultures and teaches us little things from them! It’s so cool!
was about to say that!
I feel like Terra is the first dragon doll to look and feel like she’s made of whatever ‘element’ she’s representing, rather than a dragon whose affinity is to the element. It’s really cool!! Excellent job :3
Imaging what a dragon made of air would look like 🤣
Yeah good point tho
:3
Well the other elements that have been made don't work and I don't remember what the original dragon's element was. Water may be able to look like it's made of water, but the others aren't like solids or anything
Oh, this wasn’t like, saying the other dragons SHOULD look like their elements, haha. They all look fantastic and represent their elements really well! I was just saying that this one hit a little different-they’re all wonderful dragons and I’m super pumped for the rest of the dragon series.
I love seeing the dolls that represent a broad scope of people. Don’t get me wrong. I love slim women, and I get that that’s the easiest to make because of the already sculpted bases. But there’s something so wonderful about seeing you make a larger woman, or a darker-skinned man, or a non binary character, or a non-traditionally attractive goat man from hell.
Those have to be my favourite from your channel. They not only stand out, but they’re just so wonderful because it shows so many different people. You even mention small things like sharper features or almond eyes and you take so much inspiration from other cultures!!!
I just love how comfortable you are making these dolls and not being afraid to do things, and to do things so well! You truly embody the creative process!
I feel as though she would call people "child" alot like "Don't go where the spirits creep child"
or even stuff like 'little one'
Scarlet Foxxie or young one
Or “baby”
Scarlet Foxxie omg yes! I was thinking about that 😆
"Mother" Nature :)
I love how much she incorporated Polynesian culture into this doll!
@slove hi eyes, you mean. also, it's not Dollightful's fault about the eyes. it's just the way the eyes are, so deal with it--
AnnaXie YT don’t be rude, they have a right to their opinion. I personally wish she made the eye dark with gradients
AnnaXie YT youre toxic lmao
•briî• it’s a Gacha kid, what do you expect. And they wonder why we hate their community
@@YouKnowImOnMyPeriodYah It's not because they do Gacha. It's just their personality
You said that the moss gives it a more magical, mysterious feeling.
Maybe it’s because moss implies that an object (such as a tree or rock) has been there for a long time, so it gives your doll a more ancient and powerful feeling. As though Terra were the goddess version of The Iron Giant
She brings off mother natures attack dragon, and guardian of the forest vibes i'm here for it
“But the head was still too big”
Okay no biggie she’ll just have a bigger head
“So I’m going to make my own head”
You’re WHAT?

She looks like a protective mother who could kill anyone who hurts her children. Earth dragon lady plz adopt me-

she’s definitely extremely warm and kind but not afraid to defend others. A mother friend for sure.

Matha nature
I feel like she's the mom friend/ the mother figure of the group, always keeping an eye on them with her tree eye and the nature around her girls you know?
Yea like she warm and kind and everything but sometimes she fucking pulls out an earthquake
I just wanted to say that I've been struggling with my body type my whole life, and seeing this character being plus sized and hearing you talk about how it's idealized in early civilization, I cried with joy! Thank you so much for this character!
Right I was super happy when I saw she was going to be a plus size doll!!
I have a larger than normal body type and this also made me very happy
Omg this comment is so wholesome ❤️ you are beautiful as you are, hun
It makes me feel happy that there is more representation for those who aren't often seen as normal or natural when what we see in media, when media is what's causing it to seem wrong. All bodies are georgous and deserve love.
I feel you! This dragon is absolutely beautiful and I know you are too!
How much effort and research she puts into her dolls are just amazing
Her facial expression somehow manages to be caring but also firm and distant. I feel like that's a very appropriate depiction of the earth.
She looks like a mother almost, her face.
i aggree
MoThER Nature that’s the point
MOTHER NATURE IS A DRAGON!!
Mother nature
Indeed ;_;
This is captures exactly what Mother Earth would probably look like! Even cooler too!
Mother Earth is dying
I'm sad
Emma Johnston I agree with you too! Although I think that she would still look like this anyways, nature is very unpredictable, yet beautiful.
Emma Johnston yeah
Emma Johnston oof I’m not that much into Greek mythology ;w;
Emma Johnston haha thanks, I’m on spring break too! Happy early Easter (if u celebrate it)
She has such a motherly aura, I love it
Before-
Dollightful: **Switches two dolls' heads** This is a drastic change
Now-
Dollightful: **Makes a head almost entirely out of scrap, sculpts a good chunk of this doll up, digitally sculpted tail, this entire doll in general** This is normal
Yeah, it’s nice to see her skills as a doll customiser evolve over the years
😂
Searched it.
yeah most likely
Katherine: “first we get rid of everything but the neck hole!”
Me: *screams*
Ahhh you thought that she took away the body too lolll
😂😂😂😂😂😂
In the sketch, her face looks very calm and “harmonious“ I guess. But the doll’s face looks more like it belongs in an Hawaiian tribe or something. And because that was your inspiration, I think it works really god!
@Kairi Mazanet good, they meant good
the fact the they miss spelled a word doesn’t actually matter . no need to get upset lol
True
Kairi Mazanet o sorry I meant like the other person had a sad face thing and it looks like their sad or annoyed bc they didn’t spell it right?? idk sorry if I offended u
this is my favourite doll you've made, the amount of love, time and effort put into this all adds up into such beautiful character, whilst embracing culture
