This and not all babies come out light. My 2 new born cousins are proof to me and in general that statement I'd just dumb

That is lighter tho. Plenty of newborns with that skin color and then they just get darker because the skin of that baby is far from the darkest color skin can be. lmao

As a black person yes i was born pretty pale, but some of my cousins were born this dark. People are born different shades. She has remained respectful and is being inclusive. The people still complaining are people that will never be satisfied

Yeah, and these dolls are mostly meant for kids! They don't even care if they born pale or not! They just want a cute doll :(

[@talibahonyebuchi9980]

​​@@japaeba5396Not true. As a child I very much wanted a brown baby with skin like mine (1960's) and my parents delivered with 3 brown Tumbalinas for me and my two sisters. I was over the moon with JOY!

[@honbunni]

​@japaeba5396 this is actually a reborn doll which i believe is most commonly collected by adults !! some people just like them, but others use them to cope with the trauma of miscarriages or losing a child, so they actually serve more of an adult audience !! to that point, I'm absolutely positive there's someone out there that wants/needs a reborn with skin this dark, you're totally right !!

[@noxart2410]

[@tiawolf3610]

As a black person who does art Some people really underestimate how difficult it is to paint dark skin 😂 even in digital art its very hard to shade People who show random colour shades like "look at all these dark tones you're just lazy" are stupid and don't understand art You still have to shade and highlight those colours Its especially hard with coloured lighting cause it doesn't show much on dark skin (especially blue) Its why I work mostly with tan as its the perfect shade for a whole range of freedom Light is great too but if you want to have highlights it can be difficult Tan is a perfect middle to where (almost) everything works Its also a good colour for finding colour shades that work with all skin tones so I tend to start with it Keep doing your dolls - this came out AMAZING and I home you keep experimenting :)

[@theewildrose]

Bruh I've seen real black folks get accused of skin lightening because people don't understand how bright studio lights are. They don't even grasp how real skin looks under different lighting conditions or on different cameras

[@stargazer3759]

As another artist i agree! Colours can be so weird sometimes and figuring it out takes a lot of time. Huge respect to everyone who attempts it!

[@sill.yb0nes]

[@saffy_9967]

It doesn’t matter if you make a reborn a lighter or darker shade, you will have people coming up in arms to your channel to tell you about it. Just keep on making your dolls and keep it pushing.

[@willow4371]

When I was born I was grey for a bit but even in the hospital pictures I’ve seen I’ve been the same color my entire life. This is accurate.

[@BizQAC]

I love how she has taken the time to make a darker skinned baby. It’s so detailed

[@jandoel]

Even if it doesn't dry completely clear, it would still look accurate. A lot of newborns will have skin shedding in the first few days.

[@cheriamore6130]

I'm telling you, the undertones are great but most black babies are not born that dark but that's still good work. And when you do the hair, most are also born with soft tight waves, think baby with pincurls.

@@Kytti-not-kitty not saying you should be afraid but as a business owner and as a fellow female with melanin, businesses try to appear "diverse" all the time.

You're allowed to disagree but I genuinely like watching this content and wouldn't want this woman to get cancelled.

[@lynb2741]

Just so we’re clear because YOU and lots of other babies were born light doesn’t mean black babies can’t be born dark

Add a touch of orange to the liquitex to bring vibrancy to the color. The liquitex will make dark skin tones look ashy.

[@galbeachei]

[@captainronnajay5279]

A baby can be born with dark skin right from birth. The skin color is determined by genetics and the amount of melanin present in the baby's skin, which develops while the baby is still in the womb. The exact shade of skin can sometimes change slightly after birth as the baby adjusts to the environment outside the womb, but the skin tone can be dark at birth.

[@solarpanda3401]

The baby looks lovely. I especially like the details of the slightly darker skin on the eyelids and around the mouth, which is natural and beautiful. Even the leg had darker areas around the knee. Its natural and a unique feature of poc, but i keep seeing people trying to lighten those areas like its dirty or something (it is not, where your skin folds or creases, it may be a bit darker. Even white people have it, but it looks pink on them. Its not a blemish or dirt) People of colour come in literally all the colours. From dark to fair. There are definitely babies born this dark (like in my family as a South Indian, and i have seen IsiZulu and IsiXhosa friends who had younger brothers or nieces/nephews this colour ). Although it is more typical for babies to be born a bit lighter and darken over time, this skin tone could be for a person more dark than what we commonly see 🤷🏾‍♀️ like that one supermodel (Anok Yai? I think)

To people saying the baby is too dark… this isn’t a real baby. Yall know that right?

This is a DOLL. Yes based off reality but she’s allowed creative license!

[@heartboba]

does no one realize that the people who thought the baby was too light and the ones that think it's too dark are different people?? it's the internet, people are going to have different opinions. i don't see this outrage at disagreements happening with anything else unless it has to do with poc like we're all supposed to think the same thing.

Oh my goodness!! I highly gifted melanin baby!! I love her already!!

[@amandabanks173]

I liked it better without the skin texture. Just made the baby look dry and ashy and definitely changed the skin color. No hate. Just honest opinion. And babys skin is super soft...like a babys bottom Is a thing ...they don't really have the texture in their skin that we do... So I definitely think it looks more realistic and much better without the skin texture....it actually ages the baby...

[@rebornsofjess]

I don't think it was fully dry in this video, if you have a look at reborns.com/rebornsofjess I've got pics of how she came out in the end :) I spent time with a baby last week and they definitely have skin texture up close!!

Are you able to make a life like doll from a photo. I had a still born 10 years ago and i have only had photos of her. My daughter and son ( son is autistic) has lots of questions about what she looked like and that they wish they could have met her and held her. They were born after her. If you do what would the price be. Im hoping if they can hold her and they ask me for a baby brother or sister which i cant do a few years ago ( im 32) i had to have hysterectomy because of cysts and risk of cancer so i thought this might be something that vould help them

When it comes to colour you will never win but I think it's really beautiful work ❤ we need more black reborn dolls ❤

[@EdenGlows]

I would be curious to see you try putting something to color the stuff you use as even though it dries clear it seems to have a white undertone so if you tint it say a very light orange it could possibly liven it up even more? 🤔

[@ChiliCat..]

Thank you for showing the leg comparison. It made it very obvious what you were trying to accomplish.

[@ashjohnson2406]

The goal is representation and accessibility. You’ve achieved both with taking direct action to create dark skin tones. I’m not sure why people feel the need to comment that black people aren’t born this dark. Of course, our skin complexions can change overtime. This is true. But As a black woman and a black mother I would prefer to buy a darker skin tone baby reborn versus a lighter skin tone. My goal is representation and to see my reflection. And I’ve been a darker skin tone most of my life, excluding the 3-4 weeks as a newborn baby. Please ignore the negative comments. Sometimes people just want to be offended. Please continue to provide diversity and representation for all and accessibility for individuals who often can’t find a dark skinned, quality reborn baby. You did great and will only get better. Don’t let “some” comments discourage you. There are “other” POC that support your efforts!!
