Those are actually really common sewing scissors. I didn't knew this until I wanted to buy them (the same scissors from the show) and looked in Amazon and everywhere, just to find out that my mom and my grandma both already have it in their sewing kits 🤷🏻♀️
@@screamingpotato9520 I think if you can find them in my third world country, you can find them anywhere, even if is to have them just for decoration xd
Using stop motion style to bring him to life is genius and so fitting for the show's vibe. Do you think you'll be completing the trio with greg and Beatrice? Maybe just Beatrice lol. I don't think there's doll bases small enough for Greg
i remeber there were Dolls of Barbies little Sisters, which were androgenous aside from the Hair, i don´t know if they still make some of these but i think thes would fit as bases for short round cartoon child characters
For those curious like I was " The cape he wears is actually a WWII nurse cape. An accompanying hat seen in episode 9 is a Civil War Union soldier cap. Wirt's hat is made from what looks like a Santa hat with the fuzz cut off."
he has the cutest little face, i love how he turned out! you really did a great job sculpting and painting his face, i totally get the feeling of stop motion animation, and the outfit is super cute too!
I think your own personal aesthetics really lent themselves well to this “perfectly imperfect” style, the result just feels cohesive so imo it’d be pretty cool to see you take on other projects like it :’)
You could honestly send your stuff to Laika as a resume with how good your details are. Also that you mimicked the style and finish of box trolls; amazing
For the future, with the eyes, you can create eyes that fit snugly in the sockets (so they hold in place) and in the center of the pupil is a pin hole- you then move the eyes using a pin. No internal mechanism needed! Faceplates...well, you have a 3D printer, so you're good to go! I studied stop motion in college (my profile picture is old haha) and fabrication is something I still do as a hobby. It's so much fun.
He’s a handsome little fella.I love the adjustments to the face and his cute ears are so nice and pink lol! ..I always love your dolls and your cloths,and face paint are always special..This is no different he’s beautiful in a boys way,in fact much nicer than the animation.You have certainly brought him to life.I love him 🥰
I love that you used stop-motion as an inspiration! Hot tip: I live in Portland Oregon as a tattoo artist, and have tattooed several people who work at Laika; their next film is called Wildwood and is based on a book that also takes place in Portland! Very woodsy and whimsical story. Sadly, they aren’t even due to finish filming until 2025 :,( Very excited for it, though
Omg this is so cool that you have this information!! Laika is my favourite studio, i love all of their movies so knowing a new one is coming is so exciting!!!
Watching OtGW every fall has become a tradition in my family. We all look forward to it each year! It sets the mood for the whole season. Your Wirt is quirky and unique, yet undeniably Wirt.
My favourite doll creator making a custom based off my favourite cartoon?? This is amazing! ^^ Seriously though, I ADORE him (I was this precious little gnome for Halloween)! Everything is so on point and I think the eye colour and freckles especially suit him. Thank you for making my night haha
I have a strange nostalgia for the Oz books, a set of turn of the century American Fantasy books, and having only seen Over the Garden Wall recently I just feel a wonderful kindred between the more savory parts of the fiction. Your version of Wirt is so beautiful and I could see him hanging out with the patchwork girl and going on adventures!
This has to be my favorite doll you ever made. Looks extremely delicate and indeed sort of "old school". The textures are gorgeous too. And I'll be honest, I'm genuinely happy when doll customization artists do male characters - it's unexpectedly rare.
Stunning. I loooove the way you did the face. It's as if he's made of wood. I can truly see your love for those choppy stop motion dolls. It's so lovely.
The sculpting on the face, even before any paint, looks stunningly similar (in the best way possible, i mean no to be comparative) to something that Studio Laika would create, so hearing that they were an inspiration for it makes it even more like "THIS IS FROM STUDIO LAIKA, WTH!!!" Truly outstanding work, absolutely astounding!!!
I’m so sorry putting this in all caps and sounding too uh enthusiastic i guess BUT OH MY GOD WHY IS YOUR WIRT SO BEAUTIFUL I CANNOT GET OVER THIS I JUST CAN’T DUDE
This is probably my favourite custom so far! The shading is amazing and I love the resemblance to 3d puppets for stop motion films, I hope to see more like these!!
The face sculpt was wonderful. I really appreciate your careful attention and eye for the details. Plus your willingness to redo to produce something that you are pleased with.
This is so cute:)) I think you would make a great doll inspired by the Little Nightmares children such as Mono, six, the girl in the yellow raincoat, The runaway kid, or the pretender. Mono would be so cute in that style(with or without his bag) X)
I immediately noticed the stop motion vibe when you were working on the dolls head. I am absolutely in love with stop motion and you're right, it fits Wirt and the style of Over the Garden Wall so well. This is beautiful
5:47 The mechanics that make the eyes move happen in stop motion in a few different ways. In something done in all clay, the pupils would get moved manually by the animator and then you’d check your work before committing to the next frame in your film with video previews (nineties, i.e. when I first learned). There might also be separate head models made that get swapped out. In these our modern times, you can also save time/money with a combination of stop motion and CG work done in post to clean stuff up like wonk eyes. There are mechanisms that can be built to move/blink eyes the way they would in a doll, but you can also cast a bunch of heads and swap them out. It comes down to time/money for your production.
the face sculpt, and the painterly, gouache/watercolor effect you created on his skin that makes him look like a wooden doll... this custom is so wonderful!
Your skills, your voice, the music in the background, the flowers in your room and even your accent; everything in this video was so relaxing and satisfying to watch.
Oh, my favorite wannabe-Romantic artist! Wirt is so wonderful because he's so flawed, but earnest at the same time. His growth was a wonderful part of the story, and this doll is truly fantastic as a tribute to the character and his creator(s).
Sculpting the eyebrows is such a good idea! That way you can reduce the chances of asymmetrical brows even if it is just a subtle sculpt! Lovely results too...
OMG I love him!! OtGW holds a very special place in my heart. I used to watch it with my little sister (and Gravity Falls too!) when she was ill. She is still recovering, but this two series remind me of how far she has come, that she is still with us and that the relationship among siblings is something precious. Amazing work 🤍
Your video’s reminded me of fall days, you know, when you’re sitting inside and the rain hits your window making a small lullaby while your looking out the window, the leaves falling as you take a sip of your warm drink. your video’s are warm.
Drinking tea, eating pumpkin soup while wrapped in a blanket and watching etellan, is probably the best way to start the week after the hell that was finals.
I've seen all your videos and all of them are fantastic. This doll, however, has to be my favorite by far!! He is absolutely stunning!! His face is so incredible!!❤️❤️❤️
This video came out the day after I got my OTGW tattoo. I come back here whenever I need to give myself a break, Etellan is soothing calm in a chaotic world
Over the garden wall was a truly amazing show. Even though it was a limited edition sersies with a few episodes it most certainly made my childhood and shaped my creativity into what it is today. You have made over the garden wall even more better with the doll you created! I absolutely love your style and your work has a sense of fantasy to it! I love it!
I have seen many doll makers here on this platform, but out of all of them yours are truly the most beautiful and galvanising. They never fail to capture my imagination.
Beautiful! I thought the eyes were gorgeous even with your criticism of some of the details being lost. They looked alive and totally fit into the look of all the stop motion puppets.
I LOVE seeing hybrids or dolls that aren’t used as commonly, my stock box has anything and everything that’s articulated or have a bit unique facial structures. Love this so much Werts so Cuute!!
oh he ended up absolutely ADORABLE. I love his little face with all his cute little features that you sculpted! seeing him, I’d really love to see more in this sort of style with this vibe. Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon could work really well. incredibly done, as always ❤
Oh my sorcery of hidden mysteries beyond the walls of the unknown Wirt looks fantastic!!!! I can't imagine if you made Greg, the Cloud Queen, or the Beast. I do hope to see the rest once your Monster high re-vamp series is complete but sadly with Christmas on the way guess we'll have to see them till 2023, Happy holidays etellan.😊
The little metal things used for suspender buckles are used in jewelry to clamp on the ends of leather or fabric strands to add clasps for necklaces or bracelets. Very cool use choice!
Dear Etellan just I wanted to let you know that you left me mesmerized dumbfounded and absolutely in love with what you did!!! Please never stop doing all of these magical projects, you are so talented and you have an amazing gift! Keep going with the magical work and never let any hater bringing you down💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 Sending u lots of hugs! 💖💖💖💖
Ive never even seen OTGW but I was so invested in this doll and the beautiful process. I absolutely adore the style of this doll, since its so similar to my own drawing style. Its so validating to me. Ive always adored Etellans work, but this is my favorite doll I've ever seen. Seeing this little cutie come to life was so rewarding to watch :') TLDR: Please never stop making dolls, Etellan
I really like what you did with the cape, even if it’s not show accurate. The sleeves seem to really fit Wirt’s character, he can hide his hands away really easily and it’s a little more refined than just scrap fabric, like you said.

I love how even your scissors match the doll you are making
Yep the ones that Adelaide has in the show I think. I loved that little detail!
Please make Greg

@@catacc. what an interesting story. Quite a shame that in my country there weren’t such beautiful sewing kits (even though it’s not my hobby xD)

Maybe LOL dolls?
Or cave club?
i remeber there were Dolls of Barbies little Sisters, which were androgenous aside from the Hair, i don´t know if they still make some of these but i think thes would fit as bases for short round cartoon child characters
Barbie mini extra dolls are small and articulated so that could possibly work
Among other options, you can purchase blank chibi proportioned dolls online. That'd probably work for Greg.
For those curious like I was
" The cape he wears is actually a WWII nurse cape. An accompanying hat seen in episode 9 is a Civil War Union soldier cap. Wirt's hat is made from what looks like a Santa hat with the fuzz cut off."
the way she popped the eyes out sent unknown feelings down my spine💀
he has the cutest little face, i love how he turned out! you really did a great job sculpting and painting his face, i totally get the feeling of stop motion animation, and the outfit is super cute too!
Over the garden wall is criminally underrated.
Wirt looks absolutely adorable.
Literally LOVE the headcannon for the cape that’s suppose to be his mom’s old coat, and will now forever draw him as such omgggg

The moment I saw the thumbnail, I thought he looked like a classic stop-motion puppet. He's absolutely beautiful.

This is genuinely one of the most gorgeous dolls I've ever seen.
He does look like a handmade puppet and I think it suits his character well.

🧐 fellow person of taste
I have never actually been been relaxed by a relaxing video
He is absolutely soooo cute omg
He's my favorite so far, like I can't count how many times I said "he's so cute, I love him" while watching this video
“This will not need to be perfect” *is perfect*
Stunning. I loooove the way you did the face. It's as if he's made of wood. I can truly see your love for those choppy stop motion dolls. It's so lovely.
Dolls kinda creep me out but, BUT, this is so beautiful. Great job
Your attention to detail and craftsmanship is truly extraordinary, making each doll and puppet a masterpiece

Truly outstanding work, absolutely astounding!!!
basically "what if wirt were in a laika film?" and I LOVE it so much
He looks amazing, like a laika character. It is fitting since the creator of Over The Garden Wall worked on the GDT's Pinocchio.
J'ai regardé la série grâce à cette vidéo et je ne suis pas déçue! C'était super!!!
I think this is my favorite doll you've made so far. You can really see how it's inspired from stop-motion and claymation
This series and Gravity Falls are my favorite shows ♥️
Wirt looks so adorable in your style! I love how soft and sweet his face looks
*I saw this video so many times…I really can’t stop myself It’s so good!!*
Очень атмосферное видео! Релакс. Вы просто волшебница . Чудесный получился персонаж ❤
I’m so sorry putting this in all caps and sounding too uh enthusiastic i guess
BUT OH MY GOD WHY IS YOUR WIRT SO BEAUTIFUL I CANNOT GET OVER THIS I JUST CAN’T
DUDE
This is probably my favourite custom so far! The shading is amazing and I love the resemblance to 3d puppets for stop motion films, I hope to see more like these!!
The face sculpt was wonderful. I really appreciate your careful attention and eye for the details. Plus your willingness to redo to produce something that you are pleased with.
He looks so cute with his small little clothes
This is so cute:)) I think you would make a great doll inspired by the Little Nightmares children such as Mono, six, the girl in the yellow raincoat, The runaway kid, or the pretender. Mono would be so cute in that style(with or without his bag) X)
1:38 Transmasc wirt cannon fr 💪🏾
He looks wonderful. I think the eyes turned out beautifully!
A Beatrice doll in your style would be absolutely gorgeous!! 😍
yess with her regency gown in such a beautiful light blue shade

With the amount or wounds and pin pricks you have on your hands, It is clear this is more than a hobby for you.
ETELLAN THIS IS STYLE COMBINED WITH YOU IS LITERALLY SO PERFECT ITS SO EYE CATCHING AND PLEASING
the face sculpt, and the painterly, gouache/watercolor effect you created on his skin that makes him look like a wooden doll... this custom is so wonderful!
When i see such beautiful doll builds like this it makes me want to get into this hobby!
Your skills, your voice, the music in the background, the flowers in your room and even your accent; everything in this video was so relaxing and satisfying to watch.
THIS IS THE PRETTIEST DOLL IVE EVER SEEENNNN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!
I grew up watching Over the Garden Wall, Boxtrolls, and Paranormal so this customization was a crazy nostalgia rush and the doll is beautiful.
Oh, my favorite wannabe-Romantic artist! Wirt is so wonderful because he's so flawed, but earnest at the same time. His growth was a wonderful part of the story, and this doll is truly fantastic as a tribute to the character and his creator(s).
Sculpting the eyebrows is such a good idea! That way you can reduce the chances of asymmetrical brows even if it is just a subtle sculpt! Lovely results too...
I'm always so impressed with your work, no matter what you design! It just looks straight out a storybook to me. Ethereal and whimsical all in one.

She is still recovering, but this two series remind me of how far she has come, that she is still with us and that the relationship among siblings is something precious. Amazing work 🤍

I'm not gonna lie, this is the cutest doll I've ever seen, I absolutely love your work!
I’d love to see other animated characters made into dolls by you! Like characters from the owl house, Steven universe, etc
Drinking tea, eating pumpkin soup while wrapped in a blanket and watching etellan, is probably the best way to start the week after the hell that was finals.
Wirt is a total work of art! If you haven’t already I’d love to see his brother!
I've seen all your videos and all of them are fantastic. This doll, however, has to be my favorite by far!! He is absolutely stunning!! His face is so incredible!!❤️❤️❤️

The doll is very lovely Wort was very relatable to me and is my favorite character in the show.
loved the doll top surgery lol
He is adorable! I think the eyes look fantastic.
Wirt is one of my favourite characters ever, he even got me to write more poetry. You did a wonderful job, he looks so whimsical.
Omg it really looks like he can come to life at any moment

He’s precious and as always so well crafted. I love the reference of stop motion puppets. It really got the show and brought him to life!
He looks stunning and so adorable. Wow.
Just what I needed, a video from you! Spirits lifted ❣️😍
Merry Christmas 🎄
I enjoy your work process. Your re-modeling worked out brilliantly
Omg he looks so PERFECT thank you so much for blessing my eyes 🥺
i rewatch this video a lot, i think its really cute how you sculpted his face, and his costume is adorable! it inspires me to want to sculpt more
Dear Etellan just I wanted to let you know that you left me mesmerized dumbfounded and absolutely in love with what you did!!!
Please never stop doing all of these magical projects, you are so talented and you have an amazing gift! Keep going with the magical work and never let any hater bringing you down💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 Sending u lots of hugs! 💖💖💖💖
I love over the garden wall! so glad your making doll of Wirt :)
he’s so beautiful! i love the eyes. they look like they have little lights in them✨
as someone who rewatches OTGW multiple times a year, I cannot even begin to express how obsessed I am with this
This is so cute….and I love this eyes, every little stroke gives them live.
So many details going into this. A masterpiece. Kudos
Ive never even seen OTGW but I was so invested in this doll and the beautiful process. I absolutely adore the style of this doll, since its so similar to my own drawing style.

He looks like one of those Rankin-Bass stop-motion characters. Perfect for the visualization you had in mind.
It's perfection! You did him very well! He is so adorable!
YES YES YES YES YES I'm so excited!!! Thank you for choosing to make a Wirt doll. I'm grateful for this video's existence :)

He looks adorable i love him so much! Youre very talented!
I love over the gerden wall series, this doll tirned out so beautiful and magical❤️
