Here comes the spider! I made an 8 legged seductress - will you step into her web? CUSTOM OOAK DOLL

[@MurielROT]

it’s not selfish to want recognition for your work! It’s like citing sources for papers! If I repainted the Mona Lisa and the passed it off as 100% my original design that wouldn’t be okay. Also to people doing this there is no shame in stating someone as inspiration! It doesn’t make your art any less yours because you did it! It’s just showing respect to your fellow artist! You’d want the same done for you!

"I know one of the boobs is bigger than the other but, who's isn't" As a woman I felt that in my soul 😂 P.s I think you definitely deserve to get credit for people using you as inspiration I personally don't see a problem with you addressing the problem either Edit:woah wasn't expecting this

Right? I never in my life thought I would identify so hard with a half human half spider lady 😂

Lol. I remember myself thinking in that moment: "so, even the demonic half spider women are not free of the uneven boob curse". There's definitely not hope to anybody in this world xD

[@mother_at_law]

I had a breast reduction and they ended up at least one cup size different afterward. We're all unique and so are our bewbs!

[@jamiecoe3503]

Actually I believe it's because women don't really have the proper knowledge to look after their boobs ? So I think that all women should let me take care of their boobs ???? I would do an amazing job? Peace James

[@kristajones7202]

Yup, and after breastfeeding I have a 1/2 cup difference now. Oddly, the smaller breast was the better producer.

[@stevebrown3159]

I have to agree with the majority of the comments i've read. Your work is beautiful and incredibly creative. I do think you deserve recognition for it, but I also believe the people who designed the doll that you work with could use a little recognition as well. Perhaps you could let us know?

[@CatmeleonStudio]

@@stevebrown3159 Yyyyy.... It's Monster High doll... I stated it even in the thumbnail. The owner of the doll is me, because I bought her. The owner of the design (Mattel) sold it to me and what I am doing with it is up to me. That is how customizing works. As long as I am not stating that my new doll is an original Monster High design or I am not using the og design and claim that it is mine - it is totally legal. Trust me - I checked. The doll here is just a base and I am redesigning it completely. I do not use someone else's design... it's just weird that I have to explain it?

[@DeusExNihilo]

I read your comment becore finishing the video and thought you meant something else by webbed cave...I have a dirty mind

[@semicool103]

I love your work Marzena! I only watch doll customization on your channel so I had no idea about the community taking your ideas with no credit. That must be frustrating. That being said, it is my belief that expressing your frustration is valid, and what people do with that is their own problem. Glad you talked about this on your channel. Great work as always!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you! A lo of people on Instagram are sharing their creations with me, stating that they were inspired by my works and I love this so much! At the beginning everyone was inspired by someone after all! But few times I just stumble upon figurines that were veeeeery heavily inspired by my specific works with the same design choices, the same techniques and ways of working being used... and zero credits. It is jus hard to feel flattered then.

[@mycupcakegamer7235]

I would love it if you made this into a series! Mythical creatures like this girl are amazing!

I’m not sure I’d say I’m a spider “expert” but I have pet spiders, and I think you did really well with the anatomy actually!! And I have live references so… the only thing is I kinda wish she had 8 eyes and longer thinner black fangs, but overall she’s beautiful and I love how she came out!! I really like the eye-like parts on her body, overall she’s super rad and sexy （≧∇≦）

[@nanuq1516]

You 100% have every right to feel as you do; I've seen several artists clearly inspired by you and yet make no mention. What I do find comforting are all those in the comment section who give those unaware the knowledge of who you are; your fan base is loyal and without being disrespectful about it - myself included. Your work is truly unique and beautiful, sometimes hauntingly so. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@nataschahasselmann7421]

It would be so awesome to see more humanoid spider girls!! I could imagine one with fluff or something. This could be a great start at a new family project like the bees or succubus ones. And I think people who are taken inspiration from your art should at least be so kind to give you credit that you deserve. It doesn't hurt to mention that they've got the idea from you. It doen't make their art any less, they still made it. I always tell people when they see my art, who inspired me to do that. Keep your great artwork up, and don't let anybody get to you because they tell you your selfish. You aren't. It is your right to wanting credit of your own creations.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much for this comment! I really appreciate all your support under this video :) It makes me feel better about the community ^_^

[@astridmyst]

Thissss is exactly what I want to do as a doll customizer. Full on sculptures. If I ever get into it as much as I want to I will credit you. I totally understand as an artist wanting credit. It is one of the best ways to help other artists out as well. Sharing art inspiration (if it is obvious to see the inspiration) totally needs credit. Instant subscribe

[@bobthesheepwolf8297]

absolutely nothing selfish about wanting credit for inspiration, your art is beautiful and unique and if people want to honor you by recreating it they should also be honoring you by acknowledging you as a source

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much for saying that :)

[@waywardcxnnibal]

She looks phenomenal! I can tell you put a lot of work into making your spider body as accurate as possible. You even thought about including her pedipalps which made me happy; I think most people would have forgotten them. :) As a spider lover this whole project made me so excited and the result looks terrific, congrats! 👏❤

[@CatmeleonStudio]

[@StormingViperX]

Your work is always top-notch! This was so amazing to see! Also, on the topic of other artists ripping off your/others' work.......they're lucky that you're nicer than I am, because I would have called them out with comparison shots and all kinds of receipts! Frome one creative to another, nothing is worse than an unoriginal "artist" stealing someone else's idea, making little tweaks, and pretending it was their own creativity that brought the project to life. You have every right to be irked by this!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much :) I am happy and relief to hear that most of my viewers understands me in this topic. I really don't want to be mad at anyone. I want people to respect me and others and I want to respect them back, that's all :) But I also know that everyone can make mistakes sometimes, this is why I didn't mentioned anyone by name.

[@StormingViperX]

@@CatmeleonStudio I can 100% understand how you feel since I actually JUST came across a channel that uses a similar filming style as you and uses your signature wood glue and kitty-litter stand combo in the exact same method. Even their doll was in a similar style to yours... Just seeing it made me uncomfortable, especially without them crediting you as their obvious source of inspiration. But, whatever. You will always be an original!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

[@yetanotherjessica4662]

You’re so kind. I would call people ripping me off by their names. You’re definitely an inspiration to many, but they should change up their work more, and give you credit for the ideas they pull from you.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you! I don't want to make them any publicity, good nor bad... I just hope maybe they will see this video and at least they will know that I know and I am not ok with what they are doing (or not doing). That's all.

[@stewwilliams1537]

Your statement about giving credit where credit is due is spot on! I feel that this can be boiled down to one very big concept.......respect. Somehow with all the acceptance respect for others seems to have been forgotten. Please do not become discouraged.......your art is fun and wonderful to watch! Keep up the good work! Thank you for doing what you do!❤

Arachnid was indeed a spider witch like her mother, a professional widow who did unimaginable things during the dark ages like hanging her victims upside down, drain of blood & dragged around, clothes ripped to shreds while the walls were painted in blood, even the furniture were chewed & crushed like a savaged beast trashed the men's homes.

It's really upsetting, but I sign for it nonetheless. You work so hard and always are respectful to other creators and it's one of the reasons I keep coming (besides the incredible amazing work you create, of course). It's honestly the bare minimum for them to mention you. I don't follow many artists but it's true that a lot of people have joined the doll customisation family and I see all kinds of rude recreations and they also act rude and delete your comments if you try to call them out, so I hope people get called out with this particular video and start mentioning creators as they should

People nowadays aren't as considerate as they have been in the past. I love the creativity of Earth to Layla and you. I was first shown doll reworking by watching Poppen Atelier, but now I pop in on everyone. I've noticed that artists in the craft community (Ace of Clay, Moriah Elizabeth, Needy Crafter, Dollightful, Graveyard Loon and Jazza Art) OFTEN refer to each other in their projects and sometimes collaborate on projects together. They encourage each other's efforts and it makes me feel great toward them in the fact that they break down the bad side effects of competition and are free to create a true art community. I am not happy that others are not mentioning their inspirational artists in the doll remake community. I was SOOO inspired by your bumblebee fairies that I sent your videos to others to enjoy. I doubt that I will ever make videos of my own work, but if I ever do, credit will be given to the artists that inspired me. And no, I'm not doing bumblebee fairies... you have perfected them in my opinion, so any projects that I take on will be of my own visions! Best of luck to you! BTW, this black widow is fantastically creepy and exotically beautiful at the same time!

I love that many customizers are joining forces in collaborations and stuff like that. Crediting each other is also nothing new or weird. I heard Dollightful mentioning Etellan, Etellan mentioning Of Crafts & Curios etc. That is why this is even more bizarre and shady for me, when someone is taking so much from my work and shush... not a single word or link or shout out... nothing. It just felt wrong.

I love the composition of this one, the diorama with the doll so both have better context

[@WildWolf8900]

I am truly impressed how she turned out. You have a lot of talent and skills when it comes to making a doll stand out grab someone's attention. You did an amazing job!

[@arturobelmonte6803]

Isn't petty , you should get the due recognition that you deserve for the hard work that you do

[@j.r.r.toking]

Your talent and creativity speaks for itself. That being said, I find it admirable that you share what your inspiration and design techniques come from.

I think this is my favorite doll that you've made so far, which is quite a feat considering I think they are all incredible. Just every aspect of it is wonderful -- the concept is so unique, the execution so clean, the design so beautiful and haunting. Even the way it all fits together, like the skull perfectly resting between the front legs and the way the spider body fits in the cave! I could go on and on. Thank you so much for making this and sharing it with us! I always look forward to your videos.

Stunning, as always! :) I love your spider lady! As for what you said during the face-up, I hope the artists who are so closely inspired by your work start giving you credit. You (and other artists who come up with unique designs) deserve credit for all your hard work! Keep being awesome!
