Doll Repaint - Turning J-Hope into Lestat! Interview With The Vampire - OOAK Doll
Hello everyone! Thank you for returning for another instalment of doll customising.
I was part of a Halloween Collab hosted by Splendidmicellany on Instagram! The theme was Vampire’s Ball, a party for the supernatural! I was so excited to take part in this collaboration, because making Vampires is so fun! The fanciest Vampire I know is Lestat, so I was very glad to make him.

Using puffy paint to mimic embroidery is an old cosplayer hack, and you wielded it beautifully! Lestat looks gorgeous in all his finery

[@IdaC93]

"Sometimes my hands don't cooperate with my head that well" As an artist I know that feeling too well...

[@DiamondzaCraft]

It’s so very common for me haha!

[@CaraRowen]

For real, such a mood

[@nucleartoilet4646]

Holy shit balls. I dreamed since I was 13 with my friend of having a custom Lestat doll and her having the Louis. The fact that you actually made a Lestat blows my mind and I love it! +1 Subbie

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Ahhh! Im so glad you have had a childhood dream fulfilled! 🥰

[@josephines.creatures]

I'm always down for some spooky dolls! He turned out so great and I'm envious of talented photography friends! 😂

[@DiamondzaCraft]

I love spooky dolls! Spooky all the time is what I’d like haha! Oh thank you, he is a very talented human 😁

[@motorbichael]

Interview with the Vampire is my FAVOURITE book (and movie!) and one of the only movies I can stand Tom Cruise in 🤣 he looks absolutely gorgeous!

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Amazing! Ah I’m so glad you like him! 🥰🥰

[@VondaInWonderland]

It was Tom, Brad, and Antonio, at their loveliest ♥

[@kobayashi_oli]

what a genius mashup of hair techniques, i've never thought to partially reroot and partially glue. definitely saving this video for future reference. incredible work as always

[@DiamondzaCraft]

I can’t take the credit! I know Enchantarium have used this method before too! 😁

[@yourhope5410]

I’m a kpop fan and ARMY and I’m actually really glad to see people using their dolls as bases for art!! Music is art, doll customizing is art. The arts inspire and interact with one another and that is beautiful! I’ve seen some people customize them to look more like the real members, which I love, but seeing them made into other characters/people is just as interesting. I actually really like the body mold for the BTS dolls compared to most other masculine-body type dolls, although they aren’t perfect they are better than many others IMO. Definitely make a very nice base, and with the variation in face type for the different members you can make all sorts of unique expressions and characters!

[@DiamondzaCraft]

I absolutely agree! I do like their sculpts! And the factory versions aren’t perfect, which is fine but their face sculpts are spot on. I was so happy to use J-Hope as a base, because it’s one of my favourites 🥰 thank you for this comment 😍

[@SithLadyDarhVamp]

He looks fabulous! You should totally make a Louis to go with him, can't leave him without his boyfriend😂

[@ravenartistofficial]

Ahhhh! I love Lestat, and your creations always come out so beautiful, I can’t wait to see the end result!

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Ahh thank you so much! 🥰🥰

[@maryk4053]

He’s gorgeous! His clothing is exceptional! I really appreciate your leaving in the difficultly painting his face, it was very encouraging!

[@DiamondzaCraft]

I am so glad you are encouraged! All artists struggle with something, even something they’ve done again and again! Sometimes your hand doesn’t want to cooperate with your brain 😂🥰

[@ellamierrose1812]

So happy you created a Lestat doll! That's one of my favorite characters of all time and you did an amazing job. I had a friend who actually got the chance to meet Anne Rice and had a little tour of her home before the hurricane. She had those giant dolls of some of the characters and he saw them which must have been a really cool experience! ❤

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Oh my gosh that’s so cool! 😍

[@ellamierrose1812]

@@DiamondzaCraft Oh I was a little bit envious of that lol. I would have loved to meet Anne Rice and see her home. 🙂

[@RedHatClub]

He's so whoo he's fine (oh my soul I'm I'm simping on a doll aah). I love his ruffled shirt the most idk why but its like even more dramatic than the original in my opinion which is excellent 😌👌and it's just so cute. I'm so on the hunt for theses bts dolls for customs since ever after and monster high boy dolls are so so rare nowadays well in my search.

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Aaah thank you! I honestly love the ruffled shirt so much, it’s just 😍 they may be online for cheap! I know some you stores still have them too ☺️

[@jnne4048]

*you literally remind me of carrey mulligan djdndjdjd the outcome was beautiful and don't worry, we aren't very fond of the mattel dolls so it's no trouble lol 💜 this is a thought but have you tried soaking a cotton pad in acetone and wrapping it around the doll's face/leaving it for a few hours?? sending love:]*

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Hahaha I’ve not heard that one before! Thank you! I know that feel, I’ve got them all and repainted Suga and V so far, I have five more to go 😰😂 I’m glad no ones mad about it though

[@neamhcridhe6475]

@@DiamondzaCraft i have all 7 still boxed and am working on getting another set to open (i have jimin, yoongi and jin, but both my jimins had damaged boxes and made me mad) so that i can make stage outfits for them and display them later on. big project is recreating jungkook and jimin's black swan outfits with the corsets and wings.

[@DiamondzaCraft]

@@neamhcridhe6475 oh I would love to do that! I have repainted Suga and V so far, and I wanted to make some of their music video outfits and hairstyles 😁 I’m still yet to make them hahaha

[@neamhcridhe6475]

@@DiamondzaCraft i have yoongi's iconic silk outfit from blood sweat and tears....except in mint fabric because its what i had and his mint hair was one of my favorite looks on him. Also made his maid uniform but i need to redo it since it was the second outfit i ever made and looks horrible lol.

[@patriciaspindle7960]

You are an amazing artist. Seriously. I love your version of Lestat even better than the original and I had the longest crush on Tom Cruise's Lestat. I'd go nuts if you decided to make any other charcaters from Anne Rice's books. Excellent video! 🖤💜

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Ahh I’m so glad you liked it! 🥰😍

[@lachauntiswashington231]

You did a great job. This is one of my favorite vampire movies. 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@DiamondzaCraft]

I’m so glad! I had loads of fun making him 🥰

[@mariavarela-hughes6642]

His so amazing the work you put in to him is breathtaking

[@captainmeowington]

I've been waiting forever for somebody to make a Lestat doll and this is bloody awesome!

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Thank you so much! 🥰😍

[@jamesalcantara3338]

From The Hair, The Outfit, The Shoes Up To The Doll And Also Not To Mention The Coffin On The Final Pics.... So Mesmerizing! Fantastic! I Love It!

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Thank you so much! 😁😁

[@stellajones7250]

I believe your doll matches the Lestat my mind saw when reading all Rice's books better than the Cruise version. Bravo!

[@DiamondzaCraft]

🥺🥺 thank you so much! This comment has made my day 🥰

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Oh I’m glad! 🥰

[@aliciacampos5789]

He looks fantastic! Amazing job!

[@christineingram55]

Wow! He looks amazing .You did a beautiful job of his face paint.His eyes are gorgeous.very much like Tom’s ..I love his hair and the outfit and shoes show how much love and dedication you put into your art dolls…You did a great job..Love n Light 🥰

[@ichigood5453]

the detail you put into this one is superb, definitely one of my favourites

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Thank you so much :D

[@dotdotdotdotdotdotdottod]

Guess i wasent the only one that used the jhope foll for a vampire inspired look. He has the perfect skintone and face mold for it. Loved your video btw

[@codsamanta]

He is perfect! It was definitely worth starting over on the eyes so many times since they turned out amazing in the end. I like drawing and painting, but I am not a talented artist by any means, so I perfectly understand the struggle. Sometimes it turns out good on the first try and sometimes I just give up for the day after the 10th try and start fresh some other time.

[@DiamondzaCraft]

😍🥺 thank you so much! Oh man I know that feeling. I usually take those ones I don’t like and label them as practise hahah 😁 it all is at the end of the day!

[@alexlamia9946]

I don’t know how I’m just now seeing this, but thank you for making Lestat! He’s beautiful! I have an obsession with the Vampire Chronicles. “Interview with the Vampire” is my favorite movie. And you did an amazing job! I’ve never seen anyone make Lestat or the other characters. So, thank you. Seeing this makes me so happy! 🖤

[@DiamondzaCraft]

I’m glad you found it! And I’m glad you like it too! 😁🥰

[@timeofliv8741]

Wow sooo cool very well done!

[@nerdygirlcustoms]

I really love that you don't use a 3d printer (I know its likely because you don't have access to one) because it makes your work much more accessible to the public like we could do it as well.... kinda like Dollightful's earlier videos. I LOVE IT!!!!

[@DiamondzaCraft]

I do have access to one! I mean, it’s not mine, it does belong to friends but sometimes it’s much easier to try and make it yourself 😂 thank you so much!

[@RubykonCubes3668]

[@ohsuzeyq_]

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Please do Louis and Claudia someday! And maybe Armand?

[@Nathy_joestar]

AMO AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Te quedo muy hermoso ❤❤❤

[@Soladat]

He looks fantastic! And honestly, it's kinda cool to see the mistakes. I feel like a lot of artist youtubers dont show their mistakes, and that can sometimes give people an impression that they must never mistakes and lead them to feel bad about their own mistakes. But they happen, and theyre super common, and videos like this where you show several attempts let people know that its pretty much all fixable. Idk, i just think it's nice to see. Anyway, great video!

[@DiamondzaCraft]

That is the thing, you can’t learn from your mistakes if you don’t make them! And I’m not perfect, sometimes my hands just don’t want to do what I tell them haha! So I may as well show that, and show it can be overcome as well. I think that’s coming off a bit preachy 😭😂 but I wish someone had been this real with me when I was younger

[@neamhcridhe6475]

i don't have the talent, or confidence to even attempt face ups or other doll customizations....so i am sticking to learning how to sew doll clothes instead to make stage outfits or other random ideas that come to mind and to hopefully sell them and do custom outfits in the future. he looks amazing and jhope was the perfect base for him. look forward to other creations you come up with.

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Sewing is so difficult in itself! Especially on tiny scale like this 🙌🏻 Thank you so much! I’m so glad he’s turned out well! 😁😁

[@sunlitriddle2294]

I'm fandom old, so I'm just jazzed that you CAN make a Lestat OoaK and post it on youtube. So, naturally, I had to watch. (Ah, the progress we've made in fan circles, historically) That said, his eyes turned out fantastic. Hypnotic. And the dark roots? Chef's kiss.

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Aah thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear how many people think I did a good job 😭😍 haha! 🥰

[@jadequarmby6702]

I like it awesome job

[@Arcana_Jester]

I actually sat my fiance down to watch this with me, since he is a Lestat fan. I have never seen him so in to a doll art video as he was with this one! Love the techniques used! The outfit is just gorgeous. The hair was inspired 😊 I also really enjoy seeing male dolls used for art. He turned out so well! And that coffin doll box 😆 I love your editing style, by the way. You have such a great screen presence! When BTS dolls were on clearance over here I bought as many as I could afford, because their body molds are just wonderful, in my opinion. I was thinking of possibly shaving parts of the arms for more range, and after seeing you do it and working, I am less hesitant I will destroy mine, lol. Hopefully you didn't cut yourself too badly.

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Waaa thank you! Haha I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos! I also got some BTS dolls on sale 🙊 they do come in handy 😁😁
