Have you ever done a doll with a legendary bird theme, like phoenixes, harpies etc or even the feathered serpent as a boy doll

[@adelalazur3341]

harpie! That would be so amazing. I'm curious how would she make the wings around her arms.

everyone's talking about marynas dolls (i mean duh it's a doll customizing channel) BUT HER MAKE UP IS SO ON POINT EVERY TIME 😍 edit: corrected her name!

[@VM_116]

Maryna

[@Espurrl]

Came here to say this! I can’t stop staring at her makeup. The brows, the eyeshadow, the leather... Maryna is serving FIERCE looks. She looks beautiful.

[@shanemorris3554]

IKR, I'm loving today's look!

[@bearianna]

I was gonna say... she really got into the dark mermaid vibes on this one with the extra glitter and black leather-looking shirt! I'm loving this. 🖤🧜🏻‍♀️🖤

@@VM_116 thanks!

[@jocelyncharvet4585]

I love how you started letting the acetone soak on the doll face to give us that oh so satisfying full doll face on the cotton. *chef's kiss* Arguably, my favorite part. 💖

[@bennikathleen8138]

Lol. I love that part too

[@seonaelizabethcoster8465]

Absolutely! It's so satisfying to see; I imagine it must be even more so for Marina

[@catercoz2491]

Mine too

[@megshimek6480]

The best part!! I love when she takes her time and shows us the cotton round

[@golddigg]

I think your next glow in the dark doll should be very dark skinned. I think it will be a nice contrast in the light and the dark. Maybe a glowing celestial unicorn centaur.

[@gab2386]

She only has 4 legs bc she also has 4 arms 😂 love her, she’s gorgeous. Your work is perfect as always

[@DarkAngel60193]

I mean yes but the doll also has those pink arms on it which are part of a squid not an octopus so.....adding 4 new arms won’t change much in the way of realism anyway since the original makers already messed it up with the squid arms 😑

[@MyEnime]

@@DarkAngel60193 you got a point there

[@Raevynwing]

@@DarkAngel60193 I was thinking the same thing. Those squidly bits shouldn't be there lol Another gorgeous doll though for sure. If I could afford to buy one, I'd want this one since I have an octopus tattoo. A squid as well haha

[@m.v.gonzalez5575]

@@DarkAngel60193 they didn't mess up, squids have 10 limbs (8 arms and 2 longer tentacles) 🦑

[@gab2386]

@@DarkAngel60193 true, i actually loved the new tentacles. Only said that bc Marina didn't know why she only had 4 tentacles. But it looks way better with the added ones for sure

[@dawns1978]

I hope one day you will create Maleficent. The super elegant cartoon version of her. And maybe her dress/cape turns into her dragon form.

[@MacCormickCave]

The Maleficent, played by Angelina Jolie, would look really cool. Or the new Cruella 2021, played by Emma Stone! 😍

[@dawns1978]

Nope. Not the Angelina Jolie version! The cartoon version.

[@evelynvslife]

@@dawns1978 why not both? They’re both so different. I think the Angelina Jolie version would give her so much more opportunity to get creative making realistic wings and horns. Also she has the perfect face for a monster high repaint.

[@jeromealday614]

@@MacCormickCave omg, is Cruella out now? Is it any good?

[@dawns1978]

Odds are Mariana would only make one doll. I would prefer to see the iconic version of Maleficent recreated. I imagine her regal face tucked into her renaissance style headpiece. Her statuesque body in an exquisitely detailed gown befitting the Mistress Of All Evil. The cartoon version of Maleficent had no need of cheap looking wings- she flew on the winds of hell and she didn’t have horns it was a headpiece- her dragon self had horns. Plus I think it would be awesome to have her outfit transform her into the dragon. IMO the live action outfit looks more like a stylized hefty bag than the gorgeous Eyvind Earle designs of the cartoon. Added bonus if she could make Diablo too!

[@tricorvus2673]

Aside from the fact that you're a fabulous artist, can we all just take a moment to wildly appreciate how Mattel made such individual face molds with realistic facial features of many ethnicities?

[@catercoz2491]

Things have come a long way since I was a kid in the 70s and every Barbie looked the same: blonde, blonde, blonde and completely unrealistic. Thank God they have changed!

[@pants6416]

Right? I am so struck by how much this one looks like my sister! We're mixed Scott-Irish and Lebanese.

[@franmateyko8926]

You are so talented, I am in awe. I think she had 4 tentacles because adding her 4 arms made 8 extremities.

[@horstp.7995]

wow, her face is quite different this time. I can´t put my finger on what exactly is different, but it was something with the way you were layering the colours. The face looks like a really different personality today, very beautiful.

[@shihalya]

I think the form of the head of this doll in general is not as round as the normal monster high dolls.... it looks like the cheekbones are a bit different too....

[@jeromealday614]

@@shihalya yeah, The face mold is different than other dolls.

[@justawaterdrop]

Now Ms. Jellyfish isn't alone anymore. The glow effect is so nice ^^

[@flaviakoch7378]

so true!!!

Doll series suggestions: - the 7 deadly sins (pride, wrath, lust, etc.) - Elements of Nature (air, fire, water, earth) - Ancient civilizations (Egypt, Rome, Greece, China, etc.) - Sailor Moon (and the Sailor Soldiers/villains) - The Spice Girls (90s nostalgia) - Cleopatra; I’ve seen many repaints of her, but would love to see her in your style! Keep up the amazing work! You are extremely talented and creative. I love your videos and watch every week 💕

[@nikolasharos7803]

Brilliant suggestions! Especially the elements one

[@kathrynmarentette7120]

This doll is beautiful as always but I would love to see some more diversity in skin tones! This doll especially would look stunning with darker skin

[@SheriLynNut]

Why is it so satisfying to see you flip over the cotton pad with the full face of makeup on it? 😍

[@katiewaterrose]

Thank you for gifting us with this doll. I'm having an atrocious chronic pain day and this video has made me so happy! I want to make the little octopus friend for myself .

[@SupportMensMentalHealth]

I know how you feel, I've been having a bad day with my m.e Staying in bed and watching videos in between sleeps and pain meds is what keeps me sane. I hope you feel better x

[@katiewaterrose]

@@SupportMensMentalHealth thank you so much for relating to my life. I had a surgery that went wrong, very wrong, and the pain levels from that on top of my everyday chronic stuff has just been atrocious. Pain meds and bed seems to be out best option. I hope you're doing well.

[@racheyrach_rach3548]

Anyone else love it when she covers the face with an acetone soaked cotton pad and the whole eyes come off perfectly?

[@LEE-kq9tq]

You could try a Cyberpunk/cyborg type of doll repaint if you're still looking for ideas. Would love to see you do a doll with a mohawk type of hairstyle. Or like a "badass" looking doll

[@Cavadinda]

Oh yeah! Multicoloured rainbow mohawk or something would be so cool to see! 😁😁😁

[@shanemorris3554]

That medusa monster high boy with the snake Mohawk, but give him massive snakes

[@ChestyVonF]

Or like post-apocalyptic, Mad Max style would be awesome.

[@tukamako8754]

Did you ever made a Star Wars doll?? You could do one of the not-human characters like Ahsoka Tano or Aayla Secura. I bet it would be amazing!!💛💛

I love the little octopus! I have to say, your dolls are the best, you go above and beyond for all of your dolls. It's obvious that you put your heart and soul into your dolls and I love that you have a very high standard of how your doll should look! No one else compares to your work.

What you did with the octomaid was stunning!! I really like curls and the added tentacles too. Please do a monster series. For those who know "Everyday Life with Monster Girls" or Monster Musume for short, I really wanna see the monster girls come to life in your style. Like Lamias, Centaurs, Harpies and my favorite Arachne. You can add your Angler fish Mermaid and Octomaid in the list. I hope this will give you content ideas.

Somehow my first impression of the title in the thumbnail saying ‘octo-maid’ I thought she was going to be wearing a maid dress and carrying a feather duster. I didn’t quite put it together right away, ha ha. That might be a fun idea for another one though, underwater housekeeping. She looks amazing. Great work.

[@skippykay599]

I’m obsessed with this doll! I love how, when it’s dark, the glowing hair contrasts with the skin, giving her torso, head and arms the illusion of being in silhouette. I didn’t realize how much of a struggle it is to work with glow in the dark paints but you really pulled it off!

[@njp0513]

Oh wow! She is so beautiful and goddess-like! Very elegant yet still whimsical. What a gorgeous transformation. Your talent is incredible. I just love your videos so much. I was thinking about goddesses from your Persephone doll and it would be amazing to see your interpretation of the Greek primordial goddess of night, Nyx. She is my favourite goddess other than Aphrodite. I’d still love to see Ursula from the Little Mermaid. 🖤

She also had 2 extra tentacles on the bottom half, making a grand total of 14 arms

You don't have to mix the glow in the dark medium with acrylic colors, just paint the surface with the opaque color and glaze it with the medium afterward. It's almost clear in the normal light so it shouldn't change the color much.
