Let's make a Creepy Siren... And let's make her cry! Monster High doll customization process

[@Vee_of_the_Weald]

“Satisfyingly miserable” was a beautifully dark oxymoron 👌🏼

[@CatmeleonStudio]

:D Beautifully dark - that's my goal ^_^

[@PowerSpirit50]

Is that an oxymoron?

[@Onyxblade2121]

Unconventional conventionalists, are we?

[@morganqorishchi8181]

It'd make a good band name. "Satisfyingly Miserable" sounds like a gothic industrial band.

[@SukunaYaoi]

​@@morganqorishchi8181 more like darkwave

[@Essemmbeedee]

I cant believe every single scale is hand sculpted, applied and highlighted, your endurance is amazing!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

It was surprisingly relaxing :D

[@kimberlydee3007]

That is beautiful ❤

[@MuddaFuffa]

She is absolutely stunning. Your perseverance is unmatched. As artists, we often look back & see what we call mistakes, etc., but we can also look back & see how much we've grown and learned since. I'm in awe of your talent & still love that sense of humor. 😊

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you ^_^ Projects filled with fails are stressful, but they are teaching us way more then the smooth and relaxing ones ^_^

[@A_Sleepy_Dango]

I like how she added ribs and belly rolls. Most people wouldn't take it that far. She looks FANTASTIC. I love all the little details

[@kevinjanfruto6008]

The body blushinh just in this thumbnail is insane!!!

[@pogostix6097]

Glad you were able to salvage the resin... most of my resin goof-ups are just... beyond saving. **Thousand yard resin fail trauma stare**

[@CatmeleonStudio]

That's my stare when I am thinking about my failed 3d prints :P

[@Fever-dreams0]

Lol

[@ines2476]

I'll never get over how amazing your mermaids are! And the personality all your creations show is just breathtaking 🖤

[@CatmeleonStudio]

I like making them, so it's good to hear that you like them too! ^_^

[@theresaschannel8640]

The tiny balls for the scales was TOTALLY WORTH IT. INCREDIBLE

[@tracybowling1156]

I love her axolotl ears. I tried making a squirrel out of clay. Just doing that and failing reminds me of how awesome an artist you are! Everything you do IS A very BIG deal! Pat yourself on the back. Even for the water. Because you fixed the leak. Your resin cured. Because the whole thing is awesome!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much ^_^ It is important not to make mistake-free projects, but to not give up when the mistakes occur and try to fix them :) This is how we learn ^_^

[@lillianreid1878]

The tears totally work. It's like they froze that way because on the weather. This is so gorgeous. This is my gravitate, hands down.

[@patriciahamel5674]

She is stunning! Your dolls deserve to be in an art gallery or a museum. Also, a note on the tears: It gets really windy around the ocean, so I imagine that any tears she shed would be somewhat windswept. So it’s fine if they look like that.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you for saying that! ^_^

[@samanthadean1083]

This doll brings to mind the mermaid’s song from Pirates of the Caribbean!!! 🎵My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold! There is nothing can console me, but my jolly sailor bold!🎵 ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lashawnderonde9711]

It's exactly what I thought as soon as I saw her! I could look at her for hours

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Love it! ^_^

[@Vee_of_the_Weald]

Your husband is right, the dark water adds to the mood of your diorama. It’s perfect. The siren is beautiful in her despair. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. You are a truly talented artist. You are at the top with Nerdy Capybara and Maria Lazar. I’m sure you know and love their work. Well, you’re on the same level. Remember this! 🫶🏻

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much! I love Emily's (Nerdy Capybara) art! She is my spirit animal and we talk almost every day on Insta :D And I love Maria's videos. Her creations are spotless :) So that's a huge compliment for me ^_^

[@dreamy_clouds_7]

I also enjoy Nerdy Capybara’s videos

[@julia........]

Greetings from Russia❤ You have won my heart. You have such wonderful, unimaginable works, you are my favorite doll maker. I would like to include all the words of praise that I know, but your works leave me speechless. Thank you for sharing your creations with the world.

[@platannapipidae9621]

привчёквак

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much! It means a lot ^_^ So happy that you like my work, and I hope I will never disappoint you with it ^_^

[@julia........]

​@@CatmeleonStudio You answered me🥺 You have such complex detailed works, you create whole dioramas, giving even more atmosphere to the dolls. I'd rather be disappointed in myself than in your work😸❤❤❤

[@kittyvanoosten8578]

Creates awesome diorama. Nitpicks every tiny imperfection. :D Seriously, she's amazing. Maybe a light right behind the resin will show more of what's beneath. Even if it doesn't, this is beautiful.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Always looking for stuff to improve in the future ^_^ I will display her with some back lights and on white background :) That should help at least a little :)

[@cathleencrawley4610]

She is hauntingly beautiful!! As always I love your art!

[@kawaii_kk8203]

The purple-ie shading makes her look almost frostbitten which I love!

[@clarassicpark]

*makes the most detailed and phenomenal design I have ever seen* "It's not the worst." 😭

[@Alex-ey5qc]

I LOVE this doll (as I do all of your creations) and I honestly thought the resin disaster and the way you fixed it showed so much dedication and technical skill on your part (even if we didn't see it on camera). I think the stand actually turned out amazing and I can't wait for your next video!

[@bluephoeenix]

She's perfect. Shes dark and mysterious. I love her! It makes this Goth happy. You have a new subscription!

[@christyparr1563]

I think you did a great job. The one side looks like she’s “ugly” crying while the other side looks like she is getting better. Love this.

[@leafllleaves9689]

I love love love the dark water it really gives an overall darkness that ties everything together

[@CatmeleonStudio]

So happy to hear that ^_^

[@wizebuck]

Every single “mistake” you made actually improved the overall complete figure. It’s like fate guided you to a perfect result. She is beyond gorgeous..........absolutely phenomenal! Don’t ever stop making these.

[@_KenKenYouNot_]

This is by far one of my favorite projects you have created. Watching you make a lonely siren in the winter popped an idea in my head of maybe you could create season sirens? Like a summer siren, autumn siren, and spring siren. I know it would be a lot of blood, sweat, and tears but your creativity and talent would surely make fantastic works of art.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Maybe I will think about it :) Thank you!

[@c.warren7121]

This doll is fantastic! Don't be hard on yourself, please. All the work that you put into your creations definitely shows. Your talent is amazing!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much ^_^ I always had a high level of self-criticism :) Sometimes it's not the best for my mental state, but as long as I am using it to improve - I am fine and still motivated :D

[@jenpink4298]

She’s so sad, you can really feel that from looking at her. And beautiful!

[@huntressmma1822]

Black sclera's are some of my favorites! I'm in love with this color palette. It's so interesting to see how you take the doll's apart and reposition them into dynamic poses so inspiring!💜 I'm spoiled today a bunch of my fav. doll customizer's dropped videos!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you ^_^ There is just so many cool things that you can do with those old dolls :) Especially if you are turning them into figurines :)

[@owllee9585]

Fun fact: This video was uploaded on my birthday and I grew up loving and still do love mermaids and siren mythology so thank you for making my birthday even better❤

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Happy B-day then! ^_^

[@lynnrevenday5566]

Alas, poor yorick. She knew him well. The doll looks beautiful! I love the resin, and I actually love how dark it turned out!

[@karinasanchez3285]

Ahhhh what a way to end a week 😁 thanks Marzena ! 💛🫶🏻

[@BeanBoo-l1j]

'okay sad little fish girl, time to put yourself together' i cant get over that😭😭😭

[@DaxEternally]

You could always add LED lights under the stand/water to light it up a little more if you don't like all the murk. Impressive build!

[@marianac9663]

Your videos are my favorite doll customizations to watch! Absolutely love your creepy dolls, she looks stunning and your sculpting is amazing, you're a great artist!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@alexismares907]

You do things that I've never seen any other artist do and I'm living for it.

[@irenestahl1598]

She is sooo lovely!! Absolutly bettet without eyebrows!❤️

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you ^_^

[@brittany2372]

Beautiful! You always manage to find a the perfect balance between beautiful and creepy! And thank you so much for sharing the hardships you faced with this one! Not only are they educational, but they help us realize that we can still make something wonderful if we persevere!!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much! ^_^ It's a premise of this channel to not hide the mistakes :) They are a huge part of the journey after all, and I am not ashamed of the fact that I am still learning :)

[@angie4662]

I think my favourite part has to be the lack of eyebrows. You made her so well and her expression so detailed that she didn't need eyebrows to look sad or miserable. Love your work!

[@sabrinaduckett5057]

This is GORGEOUS, and you made choices I would NEVER have thought of, but they work in its own unique way to make this one-of-a-kind project! I really hope you're proud of your work, this is incredible, brava!

[@dkakito]

OMG... the Last Resort Singing was freaking ADORABLE!!!

[@sharaheartsixx]

This is.... beyond insane. The level of talent that goes into these figures I'm actually screaming!

[@sumo0172]

Simply incredible! An absolutely beautiful sculpture. You and your art are so inspiring!

[@picture-of-grace]

the frost on the skull is an incredible detail🖤 I love this project sm

[@amberkelly3187]

I love how you blend the beauty, the sinister, the gory and the artistry together. Your pieces always make a whole story come to life in my mind

[@ambidextrousandre]

Hi. This video just had me in awe, from beginning to end. I loved the documentation of this doll and I am envious of your attention to detail. I would buy this if I could afford it lol. I'm thankful there are artists like yourself who keep us entertained. Wonderful work. Thank you for your art.

[@charlieevergreen3514]

That was very considerate, starting the video by notifying kids that the materials are hazardous, and advising adult supervision.

[@JustJenRx]

I can’t believe this woman doesn’t have millions of subscribers!!! This is my first time watching, but it won’t be my last! How entertaining to watch you make these profound creations!!!

[@YourLocalVulture]

Oh, this has got to be one of my favourite works from you yet, right up there with the Krampus and Jellyfish! I adore how truly melancholic she is, and her colour palette is utterly perfect for her. Wonderful job yet again!

[@waukonstandard]

The details on this sculpture are awesome! Its a same to cover them up with that dark resin.

[@immagical7036]

OMG SHE’S BEAUTIFUL!!!! (I wanna give her a hug D:) Also, the grass tuft sea urchins are genius!!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you! I am a little proud of thinking about adding them as see urchins ^_^ Shame that they are not that visible anymore, but lucky that we have the video evidence that they are there XD

[@immagical7036]

@@CatmeleonStudio they’re soooo great regardless

[@octob2659]

This is gorgeous! It reminds me so much of a drawing i did decades ago as a teen. The mermaid I drew was not very Disney-like, more of an eldritch horror. She gazes upon a skeleton half buried in a hoard of gold, her fins tattered and her teeth sharp. ❤

[@Neji88Neji]

Something that we may like, you say? Gosh, dear, there was plenty of it! To me personally it was about time someone came up with the idea of a creepy siren, instead of those girly, cute and voluminous-haired humanoids. Plus the whole concept is both romantic and obscure at the same time. Splendid job, Marzena!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much ^_^

[@amonsatan5263]

Such tragic beauty, very nicely done. I don't typically go for doll mod videos, but I love a good diorama.

[@norresnotlost]

she’s the perfect mix of ghoulish and gorgeous 🙏🙏🙏 her gills are especially my favorite. love your work! can’t wait for your next video!!

What a beautiful piece. So much time to detail. Truly beautiful!

[@ox-micha-xo]

You're amazing. I don't know why the monster high dolls were discontinued in the first place. And you should be hired immediately and paid the most

[@amyanderson5762]

This is so dark and beautiful. Absolutely stunning. You really are an artist

20:25, she looks good even with a bag on her head lol! she's giving pollution mermaid

[@nyloncurse]

she's stunning! I actually LOVED the tears, I think it made her more captivating. Also can't believe you glued the scales one by one, that's insane! you're truly an artist. I loved the snow look too, it looks very beautiful and real

[@EmeraldAshesAudio]

I am knocked back on my heels by you calling this a simple project. As a first time viewer, I did NOT expect you to go half as far as you did, and it's all so stunning.

это уже не кукла, а целая скульптура.... невероятно красиво🤍 удивительная работа! и, честно говоря, она не получилась страшной, даже наоборот...притягательной. мне очень нравится, это что-то воистину прекрасное. правда жаль, что для этого пришлось брать целую куклу, если бы у нее уже были сломаны ноги, было бы не так жаль.) но, чёрт возьми, я действительно поражён этой работой, пронзила в самое сердце💘 автор, Вы - настоящая мастерица!🌹

[@Onyxblade2121]

You are a true artist!! Fire in your soul to pursue your vision balanced by the tears shed in the chase! I LOVE watching you hunt!!

[@FalcoPaola]

You never dissapoint. The uniqness and beauty of your designs are mesmerising

[@LilacUnderworld]

Wow! This takes doll customisation to a whole other level! The amount of work you put into every detail is incredible! Although you can't see the tail the dark murky water really adds to the eeriness of the piece and it makes the skulls at the bottom look even more haunting.

[@erudessaaranduriel2234]

Your skill and artistry never ceases to amaze me! This is a stunning work of art!!

[@RubeeRoja]

Using your thumb fingernail as a paint pallet is amazing. I also feel like i learned a lot about where and how to apply my own makeup for completely different enhancements and expressions

[@eleynaaaa]

I really love the color of the water I kinda don’t like the added broken ice but gosh is this beautiful, the water resin is perfect for the creepy theme look even though it’s sad we can’t clearly see the tale. Your husband is right it’s clearly a happy little accident.

[@sashazambri5464]

She's absolutely gorgeous! Your artwork is amazing. Your mermaids are my favorite. ❤

[@PumpkinSpikey]

She is so beautiful. Perhaps adding some lights around the base of the resin cube will help her tail be more visible. I love how macabre she is. The magenta was a really go choice because it makes her look like she's flushed from the cold.

[@sallamander3948]

I'm so impressed! This looks amazing! At every step I found myself gasping at how good it was looking! Wow!

[@crocutaqueen1311]
