CORPSE BRIDE but it's the GROOM | Genderbend Doll Collaboration

[@N_Drogyny]

As someone who studied mortuary science, I can personally confirm that bodies get moldy. Science aside, you did a great job! Love tjis.

[@hisnameisAkin]

that's interesting, i just thought dead body could only rot lol. and thank you!

[@N_Drogyny]

@@hisnameisAkin The body does rot and decompose, but mold spores will sometimes grow and attach to the body if the mold is already growing nearby, or if the spores are close enough. Mold doesn't really care what it grows on.

[@mistahchad220]

He looks hauntingly handsome, I especially like how you kept true to the style of giving him that wide-eyed stare, same as Emily. I suppose the Corpse Groom's name would be Emil? LOL, Phenomenal work, Akin! 💙💙💙

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you so much! glad you like him! yeah, about the face i was really debating myself if i should do it with my usual style or stay faithful to the source material. glad i went with the source material, it’s nice to try something different and yes, the corpse groom’s name is emile, i did a bit of research and it says that emile is the masculine form of emily, i think it’s french?

[@sofsof1572]

Nah, dirty crafting table hits home very much If mine wasn't also a regular desk I would never bother to clean it

[@hisnameisAkin]

i'm saying like, as long as work doesn't get messed up by the working surface i'm fine with it being dirty, i even think there's like a charm to it haha

[@louisebrown3121]

I love him. That suit was a lot of work. I love the way you made the "bones". He's a handsome corpse

[@N1ckelD1me]

youre the king of sculpting doll modifications! those bones are SICK, and its so impressive that you managed to keep him fully articulated in the process! i think you really nailed the tim burton style and color palette, he's so charmingly spooky! and he's so detailed, you def get bonus points for actually tying the little tie.

[@suzysquidink]

The body mods in this one are so dope! been in a bit of a slump with my doll project and this video has reignited my hype so thanks a lot!

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you! glad i could help

[@BlurredColors]

I love him! You captured his character really well, and the hand sculpting was so good. Gluing the wefts straight to the head in the indent worked better than I thought it would too! Thanks so much for collaborating with me again!

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you so much! glad you like him! glad you're part of this collaboration!

[@alderblanco2362]

whoa you completely fell up into that free body blushing from the dye! Really nice effect!

[@heathernicole3472]

What I do is if I find second hand dolls & they’re first wave or have their clothes I won’t customize but if they’re nude I’ll customize. Just something that makes me feel better lol

[@hisnameisAkin]

most of my base dolls were new in box, it's pretty difficult to find secondhand mh/eah dolls here but most of the dolls were produced in indonesia, where i live, so i guess that's why there were many leftovers here? i'm not sure though

[@warrennolan6398]

This is brilliant! You are my favorite customizer!!! Émile is amazing, and you truly are a voice for male dolls in this community! Dope!

[@heathernicole3472]

I love the fact that u dye the dolls body bc I feel like that’s the best for longevity. I like to customize dolls to be durable(as best as possible) ….amazing repaint! I like ur style!

[@brianahawkins8124]

He looks incredible!, he's perfect, the hair, the face job, everything! Maybe you can save the other dolls parts for future doll project, & maybe you can make him his bride (don't use the skeletal doll save her once you get more), I love everyone's collab dolls, I'm having a little trouble free drawing Daisy & Rosalina in a style Paintculiar like how you made Peach (fill free to help with some idea's) Out of all the repaint's you've made I think there all incredible just the way they are. see you next time.

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you, glad you like him! i don't think i'd make the bride, i try not to do existing characters too often haha. for your drawing, try to look up contemporary fashion and try to figure out what kind of vibe you're looking for

[@YoSnap]

He turned out absolutely fantastic!! I think the sculpting came out amazing, and i really love that you sculpted the extra bones in the arm and leg! >w< It's a really nice change of pace from the other Corpse Bride dolls that you see out there!!! Magnificent!!

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you, glad you like him! well you’ve been here a while so you know how i work, when i go, i go all out haha

[@TheSparrowBlack]

He honestly looks fantastic! The simple suit does so much more than you think, you did a great job!

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you, glad you like him! yeah, i think the suit is fine but i just think something is missing from the outfit and i couldn’t figure out what lol

[@chicorysweet5472]

im telling u man, if id seen this like 10 years ago as a little emo 12 yr old it wouldve REVOLUTIONIZED my gender journey LOL 🙏🙌🫶🫶 loved this movie so much though! you did a fuckin sick job, i think the way you sculpted the hands was clever and im taking notes rn 🫡💃🏻

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you so much! glad you like him! about the hands, yeah if you sculpt them i think it’s better to sculpt them whole and work your way from there

[@Formoka]

This is awesome! Sculpting that hand was crazy ambitious! You’re an amazing doll artist!

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you so much! glad you like him!

[@warrennolan6398]

The hard road is way more fun for us! You innovate that way! I’m soooo excited to see you back on my screen!

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you! i'm trying to upload more often

[@Ruble-yf7px]

I like your style. Neat, creepy and at the same time elegant. Super

[@TheAshesvondust]

As a nerd, I appreciate the anatomical terminology. As a troll, I appreciate the expanding bones gag. Great video, and super cool customization!

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you! glad you like him! yeah, i had to look up the names of the bone parts lol

[@amaeve1950]

Looks great! There is no question who you inspiration was. I am so impressed with the jacket, the adding the lining really ends up making it more structured and formal looking. I always love your body modification work.

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you! glad you like him! i have fun doing body modification, i would like it even more if it wasn't so time consuming haha

[@amaeve1950]

@@hisnameisAkin everything worth while takes time 😉

[@0_Grimmy_0]

He looks great!!! Sculpted details turned out amazing!! 🎉

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you! yeah, i had fun sculpting those bones!

[@squeerrel-j]

your comments are such a mood. subscribed immediately, even before seeing the final result.

[@ravenartistofficial]

Aw, I wish you had given him a full shadow around the eyes. Not only would the blue shadow make his eyes look more sunken in, but also a little more dead than just blue.

[@hisnameisAkin]

ikr? it's just that when i first started doll customizing i always applied too much pastel on the face and i hated it so much but now i seem to apply less that necessary pastel powder while blushing the face lol

[@centurycountess4949]

I love everything, about this doll! The face the bones, the spirit of Tim burton's character is in this doll that's how good it looks!

[@fjolliff6308]

He's beautiful! Most other doll customizers have to make epoxy eye plates to get those Burtonesque eyes, you actually did it with paint!

[@marytichelaar7225]

Honestly he's handsome. I think you did a good job and I've definitely Merry the corpse groom.

[@mizzuzie3338]

Ghoulishly handsome? Awsome work and I'm impressed how easily you sculpted the parts that look like bones. That takes skills!

[@crickets994]

that little white suit is so charming! for someone who hates making doll clothes you're really good at it

[@BakugouKatsuki86]

He looks amazing. One thing I would give him is a dead flower on his lapel. Emily has them on her head so I think that him being the groom should have one. But he looks stunning anyways. I love him. ❤

[@cyrusnyx5087]

hey, i just wanted to tell you that, you are the reason i got into doll customizing. I love your blunt humor, you're so talented and i love your videos

[@shannonraby5547]

As someone who has to memorize all the bones and muscles of the body, AND tutors anatomy and physiology 1 and 2, i say you did pretty damn good!❤

[@shannonraby5547]

I am impressed, and you are teaching me a lot about kinesiology. ❤❤ It's a win-win situation.😂

[@zero1zerozero11zero]

"that's not really my problem" love it 😆

[@judaspetta7601]

As a nonbinary person I think you can make a nonbinary character more masculine /feminine presenting while keeping them nonbinary. Nonbinary is very fluid and we can look and act like pretty much anything

[@hisnameisAkin]

that’s the thing isn’t it? nonbinary people can present themselves as feminine/masculine so to be honest of we just swap that quality i personally think that’d just insist the binary gender attributes. that’s why i asked if nonbinary can be genderbent haha

[@Kyrico1013]

Frankie is a very good example of this, fem presenting but they still identify as enby, which is fine.

[@bitnewt]

I've also heard of people switching characters who present with minimal gender (kind of androgynous) to maximum gender (kind of like drag does), though that could be difficult to balance with keeping the character's personality.

[@KingOfGaymes]

⁠@@hisnameisAkin as an nb I feel like you couldn’t genderbend non-binary lol Like what would the opposite of “no gender” be..? I don’t think it works with us xD unless they are hyper fem or masc presenting.

[@cvpidhart]

Ok

[@J8904J]

thank you for doing this doll, this will be the only thing im gonna talk about this entire week, im totally amazed and in tears ;u;

I love Akins raw and unfiltered commentary too many art KZbinrs try to be super friendly all the time, most artist are more raw and a little grumpy

[@rebeccadyches5066]

You did such an amazing job 👏😻 and I wanted to let you know about a really cool sculpting material called Sugru. It's an air dry rubber that is strong and automatically glues itself to most any surface. I learned about it through MandaPanda because she uses it for a lot of her customs. I wanted to tell you about it because it's such a versatile material that I noticed not a lot of people use. It can be used for hands, accessories, shoes, and more.

[@heliophobiantsdolls]

He turned out so cool looking! I love how he turned out. The clothes looked so good with the blue highlighting. Me and my bf laughed so much at your commentary. Thank you for hosting this collaboration!

[@hisnameisAkin]

He's amazing!!! I always admire your sculpting skills, the bones look very very good even if it's your first time sculpting them 🤩 and the full suit turned out perfect, very good job!!! Thank you so much for collaborating with me 💖

[@alycechattin9367]

The marks on your table are a story of the works you've done, the creations you've made and and journey of your creativity. Besides, whose looking at the table when we artist like you is at work?! You're incredible to watch 😁

[@pembemucize8620]

I think leaving the eyes irisless is an amazing choice! other doll aartist I can think about right now would all probably put that but not doing so turned him into the actual character.

[@tommypaton2445]

He looks amazing!

The fact that the anatomy was so well done got me to subscribe! by what I see in the comments, you do fantastic work, so I'm excited to see more! So happy I clicked this video!!! I wish you would have done a wash vs the cartoon effect on the bones. Would have brought it together more.

Hmm… I’m just “ dying” to give the corpse groom a little back story… … Ok so I’m gonna call him Emile. And let’s say he was set to marry lady Barkis. One the night before their wedding Emile was coming back from a night of drinking and being out by quarter of 3 he was murder.

[@katiewaterrose]

You were meant to do full body mods in this genre Mr. Akin. I love watching and rewatching your videos where you do the most ridiculous of ideas and mods because I can tell that's where your creative passion lies Annnnnyway... Way to go this was awesome bye.

[@cirej25]

Fantastic! I wish you added more grey/black undertone to dirty up the clothes & also to his faceup like darker around the eyes & skin because it became very monotonous with the blue & white. Other than that I love it!

[@mellysandshrew]

He looks so cool, you really nailed the attractive look while still keeping him a little eerie, and the bone parts in particular look extremely good! For your question at the beginning, I'd say you can take a binary gendered character and make them non-binary or vice-versa and still call it a gender-bend, but I do really only ever see people go from one binary gender to another with the concept 🤷‍♀️ Fantastic doll! I've been really excited to see the process for this one, your body mods are always fascinating to watch

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you, glad you like him! yeah, i had fun sculpting the bone parts. i think it's just safer to genderbend the binary haha

I actually ran into the same problem when I was drawing Genderbent version of G3 monster high main 3 + Lagoona, when I was drawing Frankie, I was like “Wait, Frankie is non-binary, how would that work?” I decided to make them masculine presenting since all of their dolls are femme presenting.

[@CrowMaiden]

'is it possible to genderbend a nonbinary character?' in fandoms that i've been in, trans people have suggested 'cis swap', because 'genderbend' as a concept is very binary. it never really caught on as a name, though, which is a shame because i think 'cis swap' is more fun as a name. genderbending is just a hobby when you're trans (/jk).
