- I made a custom (and poseable) action figure of Ganondorf from Tears of the Kingdom, using a Hulk figure as a base. Or is it a doll because its clothes are made of fabric? NO! It's an aCtIoN fiGuRe, MOM!

This is awesome character work, especially for someone who doesn't generally do character sculpting.
I know right
Yea
It’s hard to pick a favorite Ganondorf design, but out of all of them, his TotK rendition is the most “dad”
We love Daddydorf
I like how he looks in totk but I like his outfit in oot
PLEASE MAKE A COLLAB WITH NORTH OF THE BOARDER@@StudsonStudio
@@StudsonStudioGanondilf
@@TheeFlashbackMan so true ✊
The fact that you mention North of the Border a lot.. it gives me joy because you two are both of my favourites when it comes to art.
That brought a smile to my face also.
Same!!!
Same! Modeling isn't even a hobby of mine but I find watching creators create stuff from scratch incredibly soothing; best way to wind down at the end of the day before bed~
same!!
They’re both the best on CZcams!
This video was a work of art. Ganon came out fantastically (as befitting a king) but the use of clips and references in your editing were just, mwah.
True I feel like the vid lacks a bit
Its spelt Gandalf!
Please, it's Ganondorf 😅
I love seeing stuff like the hot glue in lieu of sewing, because it's something I would never do in my own projects for fear that it'd turn out like crud. But then you see Studson using it to make a decidedly not-crud thing, and it's nice proof that... hey, turns out you don't have to torture yourself with some painstaking part of a project that will probably suck all the fun out of it. So cut yourself some slack, slap some glue on there, have fun, and you'll still end up with a really rad looking project in the end.
Surprisingly, the hot glue is actually pretty strong too. I think I'll start making my own clothes with it
There’s actually fabric hot glue for this purpose! It holds more fabrics together better than regular hot glue, as certain types don’t adhere to regular glue as well. Plastic-based fabrics (like studson used) do tend to adhere better with regular hot glue, likely because the heat partially melts the plastic fibers. Sometimes gluing is even better for minuscule projects like this, because threads don’t necessarily match the size ratio of the character. So if you want flat seams, glue is often the way to go. I would know lol, I’m a doll repainter (and life is pain).
@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBro the official danny devito is a doll repainter? hell yeah
@@StudsonStudioif glue doesn't work. My dad used a stapler to shorten my trousers 😂..
11:57 MURDER
YOU'VE MURDERED ME. the amount of thirst in this video is unparalleled across the entire Studson canon thus far.
What was he doing with the drillllllll 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"thaT'S A HORSE SHOE"
He turned out SO cool!!
I dont know if he did any kind of Doll Customizing research before building, but the fact he used a doll that had a similar skintone to actual Ganon was genius (paint pretty much always scrapes off at joints)
He mentions Dollightful in his last doll customizing adjacent video, where he made the chainsaw man cover art
@@monicaclark8453 You bring up a good point. Dollightful constantly stresses how important it is to customize dolls that are already close to your idea's color scheme, otherwise it'll be a pain trying to make sure everything sticks to the doll. Even her latest video she tried dyeing her doll, failed, and resorted to painting it despite the paint chipping all around the joints 😂
12:02 sometimes, the jokes Studson DOESNT make are the funniest
I would love this guy to be on my team or my dad. Hes such a creative, nerdy guy that has lots of knowledge. He makes my day all the time
Yeah, Ganondorf is pretty great
@@StudsonStudio Future project: Nerdy demon king
TEAM DAD STUDSON
My man, I've said it a hundred times... you're on another level.
EDITING INTENSITY VALUE: MAXIMUM PLUS ULTRA basically.
Thank you for including me in this one!
Finally, thank you for going the extra mile and chopping up regular stuff when you could totally have 3D printed the appendages.
My favorites!!!
Crafs crossover episodes are my favourite
MAXIMUM PLUS ULTRA is high praise, thank you CrafsMan!
I love how much the craft channels have been interacting recently
I was so thrilled to recognize that shelf as The Crafsman's toy shelf! I was kinda hoping this meant we'd get a special treat of a copied leg from some other old toy, but the end result where you sculpted your own was excellent!
okay i'm gonna be the twelve-year old adult who laughs at 12:02 lol amazing video as always, i love your editing and sense of humour, every time you update feels like christmas!!!
I saw that and rushed to the comments to make sure I wasn’t alone thank you
Omg….i laughed so unnecessarily hard 😂 his humour is always top notch!
I'm still grinning.
literally shouted OK>...)OK and scrolled down to see this im still smiling dude LMAO
my jaw dropped when it happened 😭
OBSESSED with how he came out. your face sculpting game is A level now
Thanks Coe!
Can I just say I love the level of subtle thirst in this video? Also, mad respect to you Studson, your Ganondorf figure turned out *amazing.
I also appreciated the barely-disguised thirst lol, this Ganon deserves it
subtle?
Im almost 33 years old and i am not ashamed to admit that i visibly lit up as soon as i saw the shape of ganondorfs belt buckle. And knew immediately what would follow. And i was not disappointed! 16:47
The red/green katana was pure comedy gold🤣 great video, as always 🙂
2:37 I was literally fidgeting with the EXACT SAME fidget toy while watching this!
Fantastic work! You're always good for a pile of laughs, Studson. Also, your videos are so relaxing. : )
Thank you, T-Nu :)
The editing was impeccable! it's great to find another person of deep culture and wisdom recognising the perfect thiccness of Ganondorf.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned yet, but they have these silicone thimbles / finger covers to use with hot glue to prevent burns! Stay safe and keep up the wonderfully creative content!!
14:00 the north of the border shoutout was pretty cool if I do say so myself. Been watching you guys for years now. You two are the most promenent people who inspired me to sculpt and make what I want from anything.
Let's be real, Ganondorf is really rocking that outfit and the jewelry, this turned out amazing as always! One of my dream projects is a character build that it feels like I'll never make because it'll turn out terrible... but seeing this and your Denji build are making it seem like maybe it's not completely impossible. Although your face sculpting is looking great, which might prove an issue for me haha. Either way, must always thank you for the constant inspiration. Every one of your videos are truly a treasure~
You can do it! You gotta do it now! My secret is avoiding sculpting as much as possible and relying on premade bods that I would assuredly make look awkward if I tried to make them from scratch. What/who is your dream character?
@@StudsonStudio Yeah, that definitely seems like the way to do it, though I'm pretty sure I'd be struggling regardless. I desperately want to make Raiden, specifically from Metal Gear Solid 4/Rising... I've been pretty unhealthily obsessed with him for far too many years lol
I love the triad of studson, north of the border, and crossing crafts
That "See how I glitter!" clip threw me back to Lindsay Ellis's video essays lol. And the shot at 11:59 was uh... surprisingly suggestive ;)
I'm sure someone else has already said this, but when you're working with a doll or figurine, you might want to look for a really, really lightweight fabric so that it stands a better chance of laying/wrinkling where you'd expect it to at scale instead of just stiffly hanging. Gauze, batiste, and chiffon would all be good choices. Your spandex blend looks good--just thought I'd speak up in case it saves you a little agony later on!
LOVE THE END RESULT. Please look into using eyeshadow or chalk pastels to brush onto the figures to define their structure and faces and more, it would make them look more muscular and more life like
Now I really want to see thicc Ganon vs a thicc Lynel Centisteed! 🛎️🥊
When I first saw the Hulk figure, it reminded me of of a Lynel.
Oh my, that Hulk bod + a headless horse figure would make a powerful combo
Oh gosh, I wish he would sculpt a lynel! That’s a great idea, that would be so cool!!
12:00 He’s enjoying this a little too much… 😂🤣
Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A bits box just for tubes? How many bits boxes do you have?!
10 bit organizer trays and 11 additional messy containers, yet it's never enough
Didn't expect that Crafsman appearance!
There should be way more comments about this! I was so hype when he popped up!
“due north…of the border”
me: *quickly checking who i was watching cause i’m subscribed to both of you*
What you did with the kimono is actually a technique. It's called draping, and it's just as valid as using a pattern.
Loved the North of the Border reference. And of course the whole build. Your work is amazing and I love the commentary. It always makes me happy to watch and rewatch your projects!
You really have HUGE collection of EVERYTHING...
I sware you live in a palace.
BTW every detail is beautiful.
Please make more buff men. Your commentary is excellent, as is the build.
Thanks! I really enjoyed talking about this buff man
@@StudsonStudio I wish I had some way to send the video to Matt Mercer!
Well, if there's one thing to motivate me to finally finish this game, it's this video 😂
I want to avoid spoilers as much as possible (and I have been successful so far), so I'll have to come back to this video in a couple of days. BUT I can already tell from the preview that this build looks great!! I can't wait to watch the process :)
The way I legitimately gasped at the horseshoe reveal. Amazing work as always!
I can't believe Nintendo snuck in a Studson horseshoe reference into Tears of the Kingdom
18:43 Thank you so much for using that specific song in the background of this bit because I have been looking for the name of it for *literal years* and was finally able to shazam it on my phone from this section of the video!
What is it called?
@@lord_alex12It's the Malo Mart Theme from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess!
10:17 That's actually a pretty good impression.
I lost it at the Kitana 🤣🤣
I follow A LOT of artists on youtube. You, Studson, are by far my favorite. I never miss a video. And I am very ADHD so most other videos I watch while playing games, or crocheting, or a million other things. You're the only creator I can think of that I just stop everything and give my full attention too. Your videos are phenomenal, relaxing, engaging, and inspiring.
Whenever someone comes over, and we are just sitting around, I say “So I like this guy” and play one of your videos. It always gives people something to talk about. Thanks for that.
HONEY WAKE UP STUDSON IS CUTTING STUFF UP
Even if I didn't know who Ganondorf was, I'd totally watch this. Your humor is amazing and your skills are super cool! You've improved a lot on face sculpting.🙂
IM IN THE VIDEO: jimmy toaster the picture is on my wall
What an awesome sculpt! Its so cool to see the growth in Studson's character sculpting and painting skills in this video
The horseshoe on the belt had me laughing out loud, the curse never ends!
I’ve been customizing figures for years and I never seen a more detailed custom figure video this is incredible.
I absolutely lost it at the biscuit tin. 😂
As a musician who assumes you sing and record your own 'jingles' (chopstick bone), along with the patrons' songs; bravo. Just fantastic.
Every time someone hears a jingle such as 'chopstick bone' Bill Wurtz feels a disturbance in the force.
Also this channel deserves its subscribers just as much as North of the the Border and Boylei Hobby Time.
I can't wait for the rest of the megazord series.
Your videos make me so happy, and laugh so hard. The Rob Liefeld reference absolutely murdered me.
“Good enough to stand on but not good enough to step on me”. I salute this love letter to Studson’s muscle obsession.
Another impeccable build with excellent humour. Using a green katana to cut out a red katana that you then sand to paint green made me audibly go 'noooo'.
Love the attention to details wirh the subtitles changing to reflect the king's jewlery haul
Hi! I studied art history in undergrad, and I did a project on Edo period textiles and clothing specifically! a lot of Edo period fashion originated in Kabuki and Noh theatre, so I think it’s reasonable to say your sources are on the right track :) I love your work, and your videos are always so enjoyable to watch! See ya!
10/10 content every time. So much so that I know this is gonna be a great video and I haven't even watched it yet. Your creations are so impressive
He came out amazing, and your sculpting skills are seriously impressive now! If you're open to suggestions I would love to see Finn and Jake's tree house from Adventure Time in your recycle style!
Not to sound cheesy, but the level of artistry and ingenuity you put into all your projects is ASTOUNDING and super inspirational. I dabble in doll customization, and that scene is super heavy in the “I own a $900 3D printer” department, which isn’t doable for most hobbyists, so watching your channel, and those of the other bitbashers you’ve recommended, has been such a boon to learning more reasonable ways to approach miniature work.
Also, I genuinely hope you’re proud of this sculpt, it really displays a huge leap in character sculpt skills. Keep up the great work, and thanks so much!
Okay but are we not gonna talk ahout that spot on ganondorf impression?! Seriously though this figurine is amazing! First vid ive seen on this channel and im already in love
This is an amazing sculpture but i feel like a small part of the community would call him 'daddy' and worship him.
Absolutely perfect for a king.
I made myself laugh by how the appareance of a horseshoe made me jump on my seat.
I like action action figures. I follow a lot of crafters but few are action figure customizers, so watching someone use an action figure as a base without first gluing all the articulation into a pose feels great.
Stick leg ganondorf has big Hank Green’s “The Fix” energy and I’m here for it.
I love how it seems you never slow down with your process. I feel like you set your workshop up to enable as many quick moves as possible and to welcome imperfection- but the amount of times you find exactly what you need just already sitting there is absolutely beautiful. You are a wonderful artist.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt the NEED to make a Ganondorf figure 😍 Great work as always!!!!
thanks for the spoiler alert for those of us who haven't had time to beat the game yet! i'll be back as soon as i do! leaving a comment and a like in the meantime~✌
I love being a fan of this channel because when I saw you talking about the belt, I got HORSESHOE HYPED
WW Ganondorf will always be MY favorite. But this is awesome!
Looks awesome, making custom action figures is something I've always wanted to try
little tip from a miniature painter, the reason you use a pink/purple when doing green skin is because it's a contrasting colour to green, and generally you don't cover the base layer completely but leave some of the purple in the recesses/underside, one thing I like to do when painting skin is to re-introduce some of that colour via an airbursh and spray the model from the bottom up to add some depth
another tip is to base coat anything you plan to paint gold with a rich browny-red which will give you better coverage, you can then use a browny-red wash to darken the recesses and hit the top edges with a silver to really make it pop
Stud has no reason to be this funny and yet he is anyway. Thank you king 👑
Damn you improved so much in face sculpting :0 congrats
The fact you maintained articulation is awesome!! Great project!!!
The kimono looks so good for something made of hot glue without a pattern
THE GREAT FAIRY IS MEEEE YAY
you look fantastic!!!
omg he’s leveling up to be able to sculpt people i feel like a proud mother
Your sculpting is improving a lot and I loved the result!
Woah!! This turned out amazing!!
I love ToK ganon, for many reasons but number 1 being that he's voiced by the ever wonderful Matthew Mercer.
Is that in the English dub or which dub?
This is amazing! The sculpting, the jewelry, the clothing, it's all mind blowing!
As a fellow Ganondorf enjoyer, thank you 👌😤💕 you made a hunky boy
Resting curmudgeon face 👌🏽
Maintained my path due north.. of the border! 👌🏽👌🏽
Between these two dueling peaks! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
The drill scene 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Loved this vid so much!
thank u sm for giving that spoiler warning i will save the video and come back later
Your sculpting has improved so much! I'm impressed!
Another fantastic build! The DBZ nostalgia was a lovely bonus!
Oh my goodness, considering how little sculpting you do this came out absolutely incredible, amazing work dude
Amazing as usual! 😍 You never disappoint. So inspiring!
Also, I genuinely appreciate the extra work put in on the closed captions.
Great work and video once again
I loved the DBZ shoutout. Also loved the sculpture!
6:40 This part cracks me up every time. he definitely learned alot. if you look closely his safesearch is off.
The drill scene…
This came out great buddy. Your sculpting is getting so much better. Always funny. The flashback was hilarious too
I love how creative you are and how you never fail to make me laugh with your sense of humor. Excellent job with this Studson!
I LOVE THE STUDS HUMOR! LOVE IT!
This is amazing! The face sculpting is a work of art within itself. You did Ganon justice!!
The face sculpt turned out awesome! Great job!!
Good job.Please do more action figures
The bit with the sword is just gold *chef’s kiss*
12:00
😳
Suggestion: can you make a normal katamari damacy thing and make it a whole diorama?
Amazing as always, and its amazing to see your skills progress with sculpting! I always enjoy more of your building or large scaled projects, but seeing how far you've come with handling fabric and sculpting faces and bodies, just shows how far you've come in finer detail!
My 7yr old son loves your videos. He’s always asking to watch a “studson video”. He was extra excited when you used one of his favorite fidget toys for the legs
