The Wasp Fairy - the badass cousin of the Bee Fairy! OOAK Monster High Repaint

Hi there!
Today I will show you another "black sheep" in my fairy world - the badass cousin of the Bee Fairy - the Wasp Fairy!
She was made to prove to myself and everyone else, that similar concepts (like the black and yellow, striped fairy) can be turn into completely different art piece.
I am pretty satisfied with how she turned out and I hope that you will like her too :)
Enjoy the video and see you soon!

Even if wasps don't make honey, they still make nests that have that hexagon shape holes for the babes.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Yes, they do! So I am not completely inaccurate! :D

In Mexico we also say that someone has a wasp’s waist when they have an hourglass figure (and that they have a bee’s waist if they are chunky). This doll is absolutely gorgeous as always!!

[@AdirondackRuby]

I've heard Wasp Waist, but never Bee. That's actually really cute.

[@mrmd_tl]

here its called "time flies" waist-

[@Atlantis11111]

As a plus size person if someone said I have a bee waist u would fall in love with them because it makes me feel a little less insecure being compared to something so cute ☺️

[@morganw.4711]

I love how Ghoulia’s sharp face mold and the black eyes makes her look predatory. She reminds me of your tooth fairies in terms of creepiness and I love that.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

She looks amazing next to my Bone Fairy! :)

[@sevin3887]

She looks so cool! The whole concept of fairies based off of insects is so interesting, and you nailed it on her and the bee fairy. I really love the way you pose your dolls, even though they loose their articulation, it makes their poses so much more lifelike and beautiful that I'd say it's 100% worth it!

[@cheyennejernigan7942]

The book series Fablehaven (middle grade) has fairies based on insects, lizards, light, etc. I'm planning on painting some of my favorite :)

[@Crosshill]

yeah she does it well enough that its a net positive, if she was into sewing tiny lil doll clothes then keeping the articulation would be essential but this is more like character art

[@finnburton]

personally I love the fact that your dolls are non-articulated. It's so different from anything else I've seen, and the way it allows you to fully explore and showcase their personality and character is amazing! you've quickly become my go to doll channel 🥰

[@CatmeleonStudio]

So happy to hear that :) And happy to have you here! ^_^

Yup, there’s literally a type of wasps called paper wasps & their nests look like they are made out of cardboard.

[@elainapoitra5721]

I am OBSESSED with your work. I love the spooky aspects you add to certain projects, and you do phenomenal figures everytime!! I agree with previous comments on more bug themed dolls. They would be amazing to see in your amazing concepts.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you! :) I will definitely think about some more insect-inspired projects :)

[@LeeLeeMak]

I ADORE that you make your dolls into figurines rather than keep their articulation. It gives them such a depth of character. The articulated dolls are beautiful as well, but I love the uniqueness of your poses!

[@bohemianflowerplays2657]

color-shifting paint would be beautiful on a dragonfly fairy.

[@kakussubrado8966]

The way your mind works is just so amazing. I can't wait to see you make a butterfly/dragonfly hybrid fae someday ❣️ Again! Your creation looks so dope!!!

Would love to see you experiment with mandibles as it would give a more insect vibe and move the creature further away from the human body. Loved the face markings in particular on this one! I agree that you should do more bugs! Mantis, Caterpillar, butterfly, fly, beetle, and many more! Stick bug would be cool as you could overstretch the limbs!

I think I might like this more then the bee fairy. Both are wonderful but I'm a sucker for anything that has a villainous feel. Only suggestions I could think of are maybe a 2 fairy diorama of a cat fairy and a chameleon fairy for your logo/namesake. I can't really think of much else that hasn't already been said. Love these doll customs! Don't listen to the negative people and keep doing your own thing!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Cool idea :) Thank you for your compliments and your great suggestion :)

[@Laribhaven]

21:41 You nailed the wasp house though. Most wasp houses look like the carborard piece you used, imperfect hexagons, and paper like in texture.

Woohoo!!! I liked the Bee Fairy makeover, but I was waiting for the wasp!!! I love love love her! We have yellow jackets and wasps in our backyard- and you have NAILED her design perfectly! Beautiful yet dangerous and creepy. I love her hair! And that pose is just- so spectacular! And perfect for her!!! You’re amazing and I love all of your work!!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thanks! When my sister suggested a fuller body type for my Bee, I instantly started thinking about a Wasp :D

Me too! And I was so afraid of even cutting the doll's hair at the beginning of my customization journey XD

[@MusLaboratoris]

Wow, she is awesome! I love her pose - I think that even with BJD it would be hard to pose doll like this! I like this in your dolls - it makes them unique and yours :). Even if I'm trying to keep posebility of my dolls, I admire the opportunities of making figurine. I don't know which I like most - Bee or Wasp. Even if I'm more on the cutesy side of the Force, Wasp is so baddass!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you :) I love watching other creaters making poseable dolls. But if it comes to me - I always have one specific frame in mind when I'm repainting mines :)

The pose is amazing!! ✨With the bone that pops out of her hips & the sharp wasp patterns on her body, it makes her extra edgy. Absolutely love her💛 (Just an idea, a tarot card inspired doll)

You make such beautiful elaborate things. Maybe a doll with fur all over. A werewolf maybe since its almost Halloween season.

The paper cone fits the WASP perfectly! Because they build nests that are called paper nests so she can just be dancing on top of her nest🙂 thanks for another great video binge watching all of them 😂

[@susanlamb4032]

This looks more like a wasps nest than you might think. All it lacks is bug legs hanging out of it, because they stuff their prey into the combs for later feeding for their young. I cut one open one time and it was filled with spiders neatly packed for easy feeding purposes.

[@burcudalkal6085]

She sure is one tough Wasp, I think I'll call her Waspette the toughest wasp but still kind to her cousin Honey. Once the queen Bee is done I wonder which doll is going to become a spooky creature. See you on your next video. :)

I believe you’re an artist creating a sculpture not to diminish the work of doll painters but this is very different and appreciated.

[@katekathan4350]

I'm just so impressed with the design! The wasp elements like the eyes, segmented mouth, antennae, abdomen and wings flow so smoothly with the more antrhomorphic aspects of the doll and it's just!! Ahhh!! I love everything about her!! Also articulated dolls are great if you want a mobile character who you can take lots of pictures of in different places and in different situations; but figurines are just so much more atmospheric and they capture the imagination so much more!! They're a piece of solid 3d art like a sculpture, with a whole story of their own! (I've absolutely fallen head first into your channel and I'm loving it. Your work is just so creative and interesting! Keep it up :D!!)

[@CatmeleonStudio]

I agree :) The articulated dolls are definitely better for some cool outdoor or indoor photoshoots. As a former photographer and costume designer I personally rather to make photoshoots with real human beings. So I'm choosing both: making photos with people and making figurines from dolls :)

[@richiepilled]

When I was a little kid, I thought wasps were fairies. It's so cool to finally see them as an actual fairy!!

[@girlunrepentant1254]

Fixed pose dolls are just as valid an art form as articulated dolls. I enjoy your art! And wasp nests are often made of hexagonal sections, so the base fits perfectly.
