@@MimCardoso voldemort is a wizard racist/facist pretty much. he would kill her or enslave her for being anything else than a pureblood wizard. she's better off with the blind girl.
if my memory is correct, there is a variation of medusa's mythology where she only turned men with ill intentions to stone, which could in a way make this sculpt far more tragic. maybe he was plotting to hurt her and hence turned to stone and she could do nothing but sit in betrayal holding nothing but her former lover's head
A lot of people believe she was a symbol of protection for women, as well as the Medusa tattoos meaning that you are a SA survivor, so your pretty much on the money that she uses her power to help women and stone men with bad intentions and her lover was a bad man and she just didn’t realize it until he was turned to stone
i can imagine that he came to slay her, but was met by a large door where she told him no man with bad intentions could enter. then they would begin to talk, and he would come back every day to gain her trust. then, when she finally has fallen in love and decided to trust him, she opens the door only to see him frozen in place with a sword in his hands.
Yeah some philosophers thought she was able to petrify men because of there sexual desire. She was too hot to handle basically… However, in ancient Greece she remains the embodiment of pure fear and it was not only her eyes that turned to stone but actually her whole face because she was hideous.
Wow, the techniques used in this were ingenious. Loved the way you did the marble texture, and all the little pieces in the base really tell a story beyond just her and her lover's head. Excellent work!
I so felt that part where you got upset while attempting to sculpt the snakes. I get like that while doing art all the time, it's so inspiring to see you push through the discouragement.
"i managed to create a pretty decent snake-y hairstyle" proceeds to show the most intricate and realistic medusa hair ever i stumbled upon a very nice interpretation of the myth of medusa once (one in which athena doesn't absolutely suck) - where athena gave medusa the gift of changing people into stone so she could defend herself after poseidon violated her. i like this version much better 😅 the figurine came out stunning as always. im so impressed with the amount of details you were able (and willing) to put into this project. great work!
I love this! I think this is my favourite version of Medusa. It’s so nice to see the snake patterns on the body and a different colour than the standard solid green. Love it so much
Another masterpiece, as always ❤ I love how you give your figurines little background stories, and how you always want the doll to show a lot of emotions, that makes them so special!
This is absolutely incredible! The hand placed scales, the hand made snake hair, the very intricate painting of the scales (not just a green or black snake with some shading, but something that really looks like a wild snake), the amazingly detailed stand- and the way her tail drapes and wraps around the fallen pillar instead of just kind of bent just enough to hold her up- this is so detailed and intricate and so much effort clearly went into this sculpture. ❤❤ Even hobbies and crafts we love can be frustrating and overwhelming sometimes, but I'm so glad you pushed through because this truly is an amazing piece!
By FAR my favourite doll you've ever made! Absolutely stunning! I may be biased, with Medusa being my favourite mythological creature of all time, but damn. Love how this one turned out!
my favourite as well! i’m not a person who is super into mythological creatures, but snakes are probably my favourite animal and i love things themed around them. and the detailing is just amazing.
@@renoirrr I love snakes too and agree about the detail, especially on their heads. Her scale pattern/coloration is almost exactly the same as my kingsnake.
Even with a small baby you still take the time to put so much detail into your sculpture. It is totally amazing and I am so glad you are still posting on your channel xx
She is DEFINITELY worth the wait! She is absolutely STUNNING! Those scales with their painted scales? WOW! Aww, kitty is babysitting the wee bairn! Good kitty!
Absolute beauty. I am so happy that the algorithm brought me here! My son is so into clay modeling monsters right now. I can tell we will be happy here! Can't wait to check out your other videos!
I know she gave you a hard time but SHE"S FANTASTIC!!! she's so beautiful and detailed. Also, very glad you took the time you needed. Rest is important!!!
I love the idea of rattlesnake Medusa! Because the rattling is meant to warn off enemies, so a rattlesnake gorgon would logically suggest they try not to zap anyone by accident. Which only makes her boyfriend’s fate sadder, in a way… Plus, diamondbacks are just really beautiful, in a badass sort of way.
I love the color of your Medusa! The brown and yellow looks good and I can imagine her blending in the ruins and grass. I have seen brighter and more green Medusas and they are cool, but this was a pretty change to see.
I just wanted to say the pain of your long and hard laborious process translated beautifully to your work. I’m not even done with the video yet but seeing you include your breakdown is just so moving to me, especially since the incomplete work is already so stunning to me. There is really so much that we viewers don’t see. I hope you keep doing you. Your art is amazing!
Once again, I come here to pay tribute to you. It's always a pleasant surprise when I open TH-cam and there's a notification of a new Catmeleon Studio video. It's no secret that I'm your unconditional fan.
Omg baby. I am sorry you had a bad day making her hair and stuff. This is an absolutely amazingly detailed ooak doll. You are so talented. I know sometimes things go wrong but you literally make me want to try doing this. It looks like such a fun hobby.
Wow she's incredible!!! I'm sorry she gave you so much grief, I'm impressed how you pushed through. It's interesting and cool that you made her a brown rattlesnake when most interpretations of her are green.
The hair is AMAZING! For all the many depictions of Medusa's hair, so few of them ever really make her snakes feel like dynamic, individual entities-they often just feel like an afterthought or a singular body part. It really adds to the impression of Medusa being cursed, that even her hair is hostile and beyond her control. Definitely feel this reflects your effort and passion 💖 ✨
"Pretty decent hairstyle" Proceeds to make the most insane hairstyle I've ever seen on a Medusa doll. I understand the breakdown, every creator is bound to have one at some point, but it really is a gorgeous doll. She's so amazingly detailed.
I know what I'm watching after work today! It's now after work and I got to "I am not patient, I am batshit crazy and have lots of self hatred" I laughed out loud
Your Medusa is ahhh-mazing! What a creative feat you accomplished! I'm so impressed with your crafting abilities. I would like to mention two things that I think could be implemented for a slight overall improvement: • First, I think she needs EYEBROWS! I see a prominant brow ridge, but no eyebrows... Since they would be just paint, you could still add them. • Second, I think that the "sand" color on the platform base is too close to the colors you used on the body of the snake. To me, the ground should be more beige, or even "greige." To make the yellow-orange colored sand more neutral, add some blue to the existing color if you have any left over. Since orange and blue are oppsites on the color wheel, combining specific amounts of those colors will neutralize the orange-y tone and "grey it down." Other than that, your results are spectacular! Bravo! Well done. 😊 ❤
@@karenjohnsonmead9884 Awesome! I want to read them. Only problem is everytime I post my email in this comment, it gets deleted. I'll put my email in my description on my channel!
Omgs, she came out ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Medusa has always been my favorite goddess. Right down to my actual snake's name is Medusa and I plan on getting a Medusa tattoo...or a few. I was absolutely blown away when you used the resin to make tears....just wow!!!
I love the story of Medusa and you bring her to life beautifully. Having only found your channel I have binged watch your doll transformations and as a person who is not crafty I am in awe of your talent. I'd removed factory paint, cut the hair and that's it. I wouldn't have a clue. You are so utterly brilliant that I can only watch in awe. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for leaving in the changes you make part way through the project as well as the “mistakes”. As a fellow artist, I felt your frustration in my core, but seeing you work through it was both inspiring and comforting. You’ve got so much talent, it is amazing.
If I could I would tell Medusa that all she needed was someone to remind her that she's still beautiful. Medusa and Hades are my favorite Greek deities, and you captured my snake queen's features perfectly And to all who are having difficulties with feeling good with your bodies, remember that beauty is what is on the inside. You're all perfectly flawed, and I would never want that changed
Idea: what if you made a little fairy girl sitting on a lily pad, happy on a pond maybe a frog fairy, water fairy, lily pad fairy, morning fairy or something else
Astonishing!! This came out absolutely beautiful! You can really feel her sorrow, emanating from her perfectly crafted demeanor! Great job, you did an excellent job capturing Medusa!
This is incredibly beautiful. Your patience to detail is outstanding. With having such a hard time with the face and hair, I'd just like to say thank you to completing this gorgeous piece of art. This doll is by far my favourite artwork. Thank you so much.
The older story of the violation was that Athene gave her the gift of "making men hard as stone" in a more literal way, as she was apparently cursed to make them hard in a figurative way. This allowed her to avoid being raped.
Love how you did the scales and your process to finally decide on them. Even the way you painted them was an iterative process you had to feel out. Great sculpt! Love it
Someone made a headcanno that Medusa has a bild girlfriend and I find this idea so cute and I have adapted that headcanno (bonus I think only men turn into stone when their both look at each other but don’t quote me on that)
The curse was something along the lines of "any who gaze upon her " which is why Perseus needed the mirror but I prefer it as similar to vampire hypnotism where the eyes have to lock.
your emotions on the face ups are so amazing, like the way you gave her bigger eye bags to make her look like she had puffy crying eyes.. i never would even think of that stuff
My headcanon on the orgins of our sad medusa is that long long ago she was a normal human woman with a loving fiancee, who had to leave her behind for war. While she waited for his return she was cursed into what she is now and chased out of her village. Angered by this betrayal, and traumatized by the experience of her curse she lay ruin to anyone who dared to try to hurt her again, turning them them into brittle stone statues with with her appearance. However one day someone dared to enter her domain unannounced to witch she attacked… only to find out too late that it was her lost love from so long ago, who had returned from war and had searched for her, him horrified at the monster she became in his last moments. We now see her in the middle of processing the loss of her one true love, realizing exactly what she had done
Wow! That was absolutely sensational! That was so inspirational & you gave so much fantastic information on the process & materials. Thank you so much CS, i think i need to go & watch some more of your videos.
She's definitely one of my favorites you did so far ! Thanks for letting the moments were you had a mental breakdown, it's important to show that it's also sometimes a part of the process and that is absolutely okay. ❤️
Thank you for creating her, medusa is so often a tragic figure wronged by so many but remains a symbol of strength your doll of her is a true beauty not to mention your set piece for her
Nice job!! The attention to detail is excellent! I'm not the details type, that's the Mrs. Your perseverance was totally worth the effort! This forlorn lady of snakes is a work of art.....and her story is told by expression and body language. Job well done! Keep doing what you do, as you have shown us in the past you grow and improve the more you do! Thank you for allowing us to watch your progress...... awesome!
Quite possibly my favorite you've made so far. I absolutely love her!! You have immense patience to do all that detail work AND remake it when it isn't quite right. Amazing!!!
Congratulations with the baby🎉 Medusa is gorgeous! As a fresh mon I can only imagine how difficult it is to scavenge time for crafting in the first months. Take care, give yourself enough rest.
wow. that turned out to be one of my favourites. your attention to detail is superb. keep up the good work but on your own time scale. your work is always worth the wait
Every video of yours is such a treat to watch. Your dolls seem to become more and more elaborate which is incredible to see. Your skills have grown so much! I always say that my favorite custom of yours is the latest video, but I think it’ll be hard to top Medusa in my book. The level of detail and commitment is incredible! I love how you’ve captured her emotions and movement. That tail is incredible! Thank you for another wonderful custom, I’m excited for what’s next.
I am somewhat of a Greek Mythologist and Medusa is my absolute favorite! Her historical background is so unique and also has various historical versions of her over time. Doesn’t matter “how accurately” you portray her, it’s YOUR interpretation of her that you are creating. And she is stunning! I tend to be a self-deprecating yet a creative perfectionist myself, tears and breakdowns and all too. I just have to say that it tends to make you a better artist that stands out among the rest! Your creations are a part of your personality and you are doing amazing!!
This is a true work of art! The craftsmanship, all the teeny weeny scales and snakes, the story telling of it all, I am blown away but your genius! And doing all those pain-staking crafts while having a brand new baby when it's so hard to find any time, you are brilliant! I love her so much, so great job!!!
You are my favorite doll artist and I'm very happy to have you back. Watching your mods is sooooo satisfying! Your Medusa is really impressive... Those scales! And her expression, that's totally fitting, poor woman!
What a fantastic sculpture. I love the bit of mythology behind Medusa. They usually have her coming off as vengeful. I like this twist. The lovers head I her hand and the expression on his face is awesome.
Yaaaaaay! You're back! And what an absolutely stunning doll/video for your return!! I am so glad that you and baby are doing well, I can hardly wait for your next doll/video! Much love to you and yours. Until next time ☺️
Your Medusa doll is AMAZING!!!! And I really appreciate you allowing us to see your moment of frustration. It’s encouraging to know that even iconic artists like you also have to push through the doubt. ❤
Probably one of my absolute favorite pieces I've seen from this artist, I love it so much, I'd legit pay whatever if I had the money to get this gorgeous figure
This turned out absolutely gorgeous! I think the detail that impressed me the most tbh was how you adjusted the spacing between scales to give a clearer impression of snake skin. It looks really natural and elevates the piece like crazy imo. Kickass job! :D
Welcome back and you've come back with a boom. Shes amazingly detailed. All your sweat and tears were worth it The stand to just adds to the vibe . Again welcome back xx
OMG I absolutely love the design and coloring of the snake body. The wow factor is incredible for this doll! Congratulations on the new addition to your family.
28:01 thank you for sharing this clip, it is unfortuantely sometimes a vital part of the creative process and can be hard to work through. But it is so relatable. Thank you
Congrats on your new little bundle! I'm so glad that your are both well and you're back to making videos. This doll was gorgeous and terrifying. I am deathly afraid of snakes, and you had so much detail on her that it gave me the shivers! Can't wait to see the next one.
I stumbled upon your channel today and omg I was absolutely blown away by your artistry. This Medusa is hauntingly gorgeous and your technique is mesmerizing. As a fellow artist I understand the struggles when something doesn’t go as planned, but I for one am so glad you kept going, she is a stunning piece art that you should be proud of. Again OMG!! And congratulations on your baby!!! 😊
I am optimistic. I like to believe that she will find a lover who's blind and likes snakes. I don't want her to be lonely forever.
There is a head Canon on the internet where she falls in love with a blind girl that isn't affected by her curse, it's adorable
Yes! What they said 👆
@@goth_witch1362 omg love it
She fell in love with Voldemort, so he doesn't go blind because he uses magic and also loves snakes 🐍❤

That is amazing! Fantastic work.
She was absolutely worth the wait! This doll is stunning and your dedication to detail is phenomenal! ❤
I am somewhat of a Greek Mythologist and Medusa is my absolute favorite! Her historical background is so unique and also has various historical versions of her over time. Doesn’t matter “how accurately” you portray her, it’s YOUR interpretation of her that you are creating. And she is stunning!
I tend to be a self-deprecating yet a creative perfectionist myself, tears and breakdowns and all too. I just have to say that it tends to make you a better artist that stands out among the rest! Your creations are a part of your personality and you are doing amazing!!
This looks absolutely incredible. I love the detail on the snakes, and the design on the tail.
This is a true work of art! The craftsmanship, all the teeny weeny scales and snakes, the story telling of it all, I am blown away but your genius! And doing all those pain-staking crafts while having a brand new baby when it's so hard to find any time, you are brilliant! I love her so much, so great job!!!
You are my favorite doll artist and I'm very happy to have you back. Watching your mods is sooooo satisfying! Your Medusa is really impressive... Those scales! And her expression, that's totally fitting, poor woman!
Duuuude the scaly tail is a marvel! I love how full and coily that thing is! You did such a good job, she's beautiful.
Crazy beautiful creation! Love the detail and the pain you went through to develope each intricate piece!
What a fantastic sculpture. I love the bit of mythology behind Medusa. They usually have her coming off as vengeful. I like this twist. The lovers head I her hand and the expression on his face is awesome.
Yaaaaaay! You're back! And what an absolutely stunning doll/video for your return!! I am so glad that you and baby are doing well, I can hardly wait for your next doll/video!
Much love to you and yours.
Until next time ☺️
This is one of your best ones ever done. It was highly worth the wait. Great job.
What a fantastic talent you are! Medusa has always been one that captured my imagination since childhood and you definitely have done her justice!
Your Medusa doll is AMAZING!!!! And I really appreciate you allowing us to see your moment of frustration. It’s encouraging to know that even iconic artists like you also have to push through the doubt. ❤
The sculpting and the paint job is incredible ! I love the intricate pattern you put on the snake ! She is gorgeous !
Hooooly snake. What a process and what a doll! :) I love it. I love your details, please, never stop torturing yourself ;P Your Dolls are amazing!
Luckily I am, apparently, a masochist :P
Probably one of my absolute favorite pieces I've seen from this artist, I love it so much, I'd legit pay whatever if I had the money to get this gorgeous figure
Probably the best one yet, your attention to detail is phenomenal , the storytelling behind the art. Is the best.
This turned out absolutely gorgeous! I think the detail that impressed me the most tbh was how you adjusted the spacing between scales to give a clearer impression of snake skin. It looks really natural and elevates the piece like crazy imo. Kickass job! :D
Welcome back and you've come back with a boom. Shes amazingly detailed. All your sweat and tears were worth it The stand to just adds to the vibe . Again welcome back xx
OMG I absolutely love the design and coloring of the snake body. The wow factor is incredible for this doll! Congratulations on the new addition to your family.
28:01 thank you for sharing this clip, it is unfortuantely sometimes a vital part of the creative process and can be hard to work through. But it is so relatable. Thank you
It's amazing! Beautiful and creepy. You did an incredible job. Thank you for sharing the process with us.
I never looking this before. it's so beautiful, so pure. I loved! You INSANE, good job
I love her. My jaw dropped when I saw your marble effect! Very cool.
Creepy cool art work! Great work with color, shading, sculpting, creating with all your different tools🎨
Congrats on your new little bundle! I'm so glad that your are both well and you're back to making videos. This doll was gorgeous and terrifying. I am deathly afraid of snakes, and you had so much detail on her that it gave me the shivers! Can't wait to see the next one.
She's back!! Yes!! I am so excited, I always loved your work. The Medusa doll looks terrifying but beautiful at the same time!! I am in love!
I stumbled upon your channel today and omg I was absolutely blown away by your artistry. This Medusa is hauntingly gorgeous and your technique is mesmerizing. As a fellow artist I understand the struggles when something doesn’t go as planned, but I for one am so glad you kept going, she is a stunning piece art that you should be proud of. Again OMG!! And congratulations on your baby!!! 😊
