Of course I love the body mods your specialize in, but it’s refreshing to see you create such a beautiful simple piece. Great job

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you! glad you like her!

[@OddityIllustrations]

Those clothes are so amazing, I want them in human size! I love the simple projects like this, I think it really shows how much personality you can give a doll. Great work as always❤

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you so much, glad you like her!

[@lis.anwell638]

She’s darling! Have fun with it, darling! There are a lot of doll customizers on the KZbin. I like you because of your dry sense of humor (and your talent of course). You make me chuckle. 😁

[@robynvandebussche5077]

I think she's really cute. Don't sell yourself short on things you're super talented. I think you did a wonderful job with her I mean if you don't like the hair you know that's too bad because I think it's super cute. Of course that depends on what you were trying to do and where you were trying to go with that hair. Anyway great video can't wait to see the next one.

[@hisnameisAkin]

not that i don't like the hair it's just when i was styling it i really had no idea what i was doing so i just thought i could do better without having any idea what the better hairstyle would look like lol. but thank you! i'm glad you like her!

[@SharmClucas]

From what I understand, MSC will work on the body if it gets sanded first. It's cool that you're dropping body mods for most projects. Honestly, I was always surprised you did it so often before. So much work! I do love your mods, but it's probably good that they're for special projects now.

[@LemonSte]

msc works on the body without sanding too! just need to make sure it hits every surface.

[@hisnameisAkin]

i'm glad you understand! as for msc on the body. it only works initially, you twist and bend the joints a few times and it'll scrape off. also it'll make the body so much more prone to getting dirt on them. that's why i said if you think body blushing is not very necessary, just skip it

[@SharmClucas]

@@hisnameisAkin Oof, that's too bad. Good to know though, thank you.

[@MartaWomack]

She's absolutely adorable! I really get a kick out of your narrative throughout the art process. Charming & funny! Thank you for sharing your art!

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you! glad you like her!

[@littlebirdprincess]

oh my gosh dear, she's gorgeous!!!! her face is so strict yet tender..... i'm in love!!!!

[@hisnameisAkin]

glad you like her!

[@ElicBehexan]

She is very pretty, very goth, but very pretty. The weirdest goth thing I ever saw was these six people walking down the "Drag" in Austin Texas, all dressed in black, all taking weird long strides in unison! And in silence! OMG they looked so weird!

[@hisnameisAkin]

they were manifesting

[@56mice]

As a goth, this is the funniest thing I have read all day lmao

[@jewabeus]

Great job. Glad to see you back in my notifications. Enjoyed watching you at work. As for the modifications, you do what makes you happy & doesn't stress you out. I enjoy seeing you do them, but there's only so many hours in a day & you do what you can, when you can. It's all good.

[@hisnameisAkin]

i'm glad you understand, also glad you like her!

[@louisebrown3121]

I love her. She's super cute. I love the eyes. I would totally wear that outfit. Great job.

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you! glad you like her!

[@16taysia]

How do you not have like a million subscribers?! Your content is awesome and you have a great sense of humor 😂🩷

[@brianahawkins8124]

She's Beautiful.💖 See you next time.

[@mellysandshrew]

She looks so good! I like how her outfit and general look came out kind of preppy and kind of elegant, but overall very gothy. As much as I enjoy the drastic body mods from your older videos, I hope that a different approach to customizing in the future makes things easier for you. I'll be looking forward to whatever you come up with next!

[@ManyGhosts]

Your body mods are great, but I agree with others - it's better to see more customizations. And this one was great!

[@hisnameisAkin]

glad you like her!

[@Fuffydud]

I like a work surface with history! Blemishes and scuffs show that you've used it well!

[@YoSnap]

She came out fabooo~! Definitely fits that vobe that a lot of artists give to their classic MH dolls, so i'd say it was a complete success as far as fitting that bill. I love her face!!

[@Formoka]

She’s perfect! Love the goth aesthetic and the hat looks so dang cute!

[@sleepy-darling]

I LOVE ETHEL!!!! She's too adorable!!He outfit is my fav bit.

[@n4maria42]

I love your dolls with your body modifications, but it's really good see you doing something different too, she is so cute in the end, love it

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you! glad you like her!

[@inabruzzowithme7877]

She's really pretty and doesn't look generic! I do love your body mods but you know, sometimes we have to walk inbetween runs!

[@hisnameisAkin]

glad you understand!

[@UnknownUnknown-zd9lm]

Another great doll Akin 👍🏻 Keep up the amazing work. Also can I just say… I can’t believe I’ve been watching your channel from the very beginning and how quickly the years have just flown by 😱👨🏻‍🦳🕰 Thank you also for doing a mix of boy and girl doll customisations. I’ve herd other doll customisers here on KZbin say that boy doll videos don’t do as well with regards to views, but I would like to remind the KZbin doll customisation community that boys watch doll customisations as well (me being one of them) and it’s a well deserved break from watching all of the girl doll customisation videos. To many more years of excellent videos and doll customisation Akin 🥃 (wish I had a vodka to cheers with you) As a side note… you continue to be you Akin, that’s what we love about you and your channel. Don’t let the haters “your background is to distracting as it’s dirty” change you 👍🏻🙂

[@Ysckemia]

Draculaura with your signature "akin frown" (and NOT a karen frown) is very cool :D i'm ok with no body modding projects, save your time and make good outfits!

[@hisnameisAkin]

lol, thanks! glad you like her yeah, not doing any body modification gives me more time to pay more attention to the outfit!

[@hjl8700]

I love her!! She gives me goth boardwalk carnival vibes 🍭🍿🎠🎢🎡

[@BlurredColors]

I love her.

[@cornerspider2477]

I love her so much! the outfit looks amazing, and her faceup is so pretty, love the contrasting green eyes

[@powpink7042]

[@hisnameisAkin]

[@TheInfamousLilacer]

So cute! Love how the big hat contrasts with her face!

[@AwkwardBirb]

The hat came out so cute! Simple projects can be nice refreshing breaks sometimes ❤😊

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you, yeah the hat kinda saved her character lol!

[@PinkSinsila]

She's so cute! The outfit is great and the hat really ties everything together nicely 🖤🤍

@@hisnameisAkin My favorite so far is the muscle bound tiger wrestler you did. He was cute, and hot!

[@nekoroogami]

She's cute

[@NikolaitheBard]

She's giving Susan Death from Discworld.

[@frankiegalipeau1891]

Did her hands come posed like that?? If so, it's witchy, I love it!

[@bunnyose]

Tell me why I just noticed that she has a heart for her lip part, wtf why did I just notice.

[@camilavilla5696]

One of the things that attracted to me to your channel was the hot boys thing because there's tones of other dolls customization that does cute girls and fairies and they do it amazing so I think that you don't need to change your original concept just for more likes and views, the only thing that you need to do it's to push your art further I just feel that some projects especially the lattes ones are too crafty... like some school boy of 10 do it... you need to work on your details... on the painting... yes body blushing its important... change the skin color... the body modification etc but try to do it more and more perfect every time for they look some professional work like the other girls out there... work harder... that what I think you need push your skills further!!! The talent its there bit sometimes seems that you don't care and want the easy pad... like in the Spider-Man movie said... brilliant but lazy.

[@TheSpiderGoddess]

As cool as body mods can be... they take up a lot of time and a lot of materials that, lets face it... aren't exactly cheap. I think it will be good to step away from that for a while and see what you can do with just the basics.

[@ThatJew305]

Come to the USA

[@forbezilla]

OMG I'm not even half way through the video and I'm so in love with her. I'm getting some Wednesday Addams/Bride of Frankenstein vibes and I love it!

[@hisnameisAkin]

glad you like her! i guess it's hard to make a goth girl character without channeling those two haha

[@forbezilla]

@@hisnameisAkin it was more from the aesthetic lol, her face is super amazing and very unique! Her eye lashes are perfect

[@spicybeantofu]

@@hisnameisAkin it's a huge issue for goths at this time

[@AliciaSmith1983]

Welcome back Akin and happy new year. How was your vacation trip? I love the doll.

[@hisnameisAkin]

thank you and happy new year! the vacation was pretty fun, glad i got to do that lol. and glad you like the doll!

oi boa tarde poderia criar este personagem do filme CHILDHOOD'S END um alien lindo Karellen

[@heathledger2008]

Please don't get me wrong, I like all your work. But in reality I was expecting a man doll of those that you only know how to make, super hot. I imagined a muscular, hairy and sexy Grinch. LOL
