She’s absolutely stunning,almost like a Marilyn Monroe with pink hair as a mermaid.The face paint is just gorgeous and I love her hair,I had curly hair like this as a kid and hated it,and years of straightening it has spoilt it . I like her tail fin and bra top,it very elegant like the whole doll.Very different for you but I do love this one 🥰

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ah thanks my love! She's defo a bit different eh

[@pale_raven_arts5930]

Not only is this doll gorgeous, but the video? I don´t know why, but this video feels incredibly well balanced. The lighting and video quality is soo good and it´s also not visually overwhelming or anything. The volume ratio from the voice over (which sounds very clear and also soft, and your voice is very lovely and calming too) to the background music is also so nice, the voice over is perfectly audible (I think that´s the term) but not too loud and the music is just loud enough to be heard clearly but not interfere with the voice over. I LOVE IT, THIS VIDEO IS JUST GREAT 💖

[@Dolleemixtures]

Waaaah what a lovely compliment! I'm so glad you like it. It makes me feel like I've done a good job 😍

[@pale_raven_arts5930]

@@Dolleemixtures you did! I enjoyed this video sooo much ❤️

[@Dolleemixtures]

@@pale_raven_arts5930 waaah honestly this makes me so happy. I watched an old vid of mine recently and goodness it was a struggle. I've defo learned a lot through my 4 years on KZbin

[@DollyAnna]

Oh I love her little top and tail, I think those are my favourite parts!! I'm not sure how you would get her to pose without modifying the tail or making a new bjd-style tail haha but it doesn't matter. She's lovely🌸

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ah thank youuu! I really love how those parts turned out tooo

[@stephoodoll]

She's so pretty! I really love her eyes. 💖💖 And using bobby pins/kirby grips for curls is really smart! I defo want to try it sometime.

[@Dolleemixtures]

Thanks sweets! I want to do it again and leave it in that mega tight curl

[@lachauntiswashington231]

she's beautiful. I love her tail and her eyes

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ah thank you so much ❤️

[@ArachneAnathema]

I love how you did the hair! Brilliant!

[@Dolleemixtures]

Thank you my love. I'm so happy with it

[@tibo6749]

Everyone makes the main cast for Demon Slayer dolls. Personally I believe it'd be unique to do a Yoriichi doll!! His long beautiful hair is perfect. A Daki doll can also work, she has multiple forms, any would look great on a doll. Especially her human form has such a pure beauty. While her true demon form is wicked and gorgeous

[@Dolleemixtures]

Oooh Daki would be a really fun doll to do. I feel like I'm being drawn more to a demon... I think if I did a doll, I wouldn't do it in anime style, just in my own style so hopefully it would be a fresh take, but agreed. I do love nezuko but everyone has made a nezuko...

[@tibo6749]

@@Dolleemixtures I love your style, seeing daki in that way would be nice! And yes nezuko is adorable and looks great as a doll but there's so many nezuko dolls already. Which version of daki would you consider if you were to work on her? Human version from flashbacks, disguised demon version, revealed demon, full white haired demon?

[@Dolleemixtures]

@@tibo6749 wah it's so good to hear you like my style. I just did a face up that's VERY me but I was a bit worried that my style might be putting people off... I love the white hair version. I think the character design is more interesting, and, ofc, massive boobaloobies so I could use my 3D piece. I need to watch the show again. Well finish watching all the eps tbf

[@tibo6749]

@@Dolleemixtures i dont think its possible for you to make a faceup we wont like

[@SabakuNoShi]

Ok so ... Pink is not my fave color [because when I was a kid I had everything pink and I think I had enough for to long haha], BUT ... in this case it looks just georgeus! Everything suits together perfectly! As I told you before, this facemold was awesome choise for this project 🤩

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ah thank you sweets! I didn't used to like pink... Maybe because I rejected all things femme... But I love it now, I love all colours to be fair haha! It was a great face mold to work with!

[@SabakuNoShi]

@@Dolleemixtures Yes, the hair came out magical, like a cotton candy ☺ I remember creating a pink pony-unicorn mascot for my friend at the stage when I really disliked pink 😅That was a challenge 😉 Now pink is fine for me, but not one of my faves. Any way, I wanted to say that working with different colors and materials and so on, is always a part of our learning process and part of progress. You did great job 😀 Edit - my characters suggestions : Vampire Princess Miyu + Larva from the same anime, Gaara [from Naruto] - female version or a male , Hisagi Shūhei [Bleach] - female version or a male, Suì-Fēng [Bleach], Ulquiorra [also Bleach] 🤗

[@Dolleemixtures]

@@SabakuNoShi oooh thanks for adding your suggestions. Ah it's so hard working on something that's hmmm I want to say triggering? Idk. I have a project at the moment that I had so many blocks on. It's been such a struggle. Fingers crossed it's coming soon though. Would you tag me on the pony posts? Id love to see it

[@chooknowitstehmix]

Can I just say, your blushing is absolutely incredible on that faceup? oh my gosh!

[@Dolleemixtures]

Oh my! Thank you so much! I feel like I over blush sometimes. I'm glad you like this one 🥰

[@DiamondzaCraft]

Those boobs are amazing I am definitely going to have to get some from you! I am definitely ordering a doll sketchbook now too! I love the doll, you do an amazing job every time. The amount of pink makes me happy. Also I love hearing about your cats

[@cloud.nebula7928]

She’s absolutely stunning! definitely can see the inspiration for the golden age hairstyles. I love her face up so much. I get so much inspiration from doll customizing videos for my art. Thanks for sharing. Anime I recommend: spy x family, my happy marriage (just started), if you like action and fighting maybe Hells paradise. Also Jujutsu Kaisen. I could be here all day with anime suggestions. One more if you prefer romance is my love story with Yamada kun at level 999

[@charlottemailhe8238]

She is super cute and i love that shade of pink! Very good timing with the Barbie movie 😉.. I think the o ly way to get those mermaid dolls to be more flexible is to carve down the joints prior to painting... I saw ypu had some shaky hands towards the end of the video..i hope you won't give yourself too much stress for the next dolls..we really appreciate you trying to post regularly...but take care of yourself and don't give yourself too much pressure ❤😘

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ah! Yeah that makes sense with the tail! I didn't even think about it! Ah my hands are shaky most of the time now. I cut most of it out of the video, some of it is for sure exhaustion but there are other things too :/ thank you for worrying about me ❤️ it means a lot

[@lilmidnight.]

She is absolutely gorgeous! So elegant, just like sakura flower indeed 🌸 and am totally buying some boobas ASAP, I for while wanted give my dolls bigger chests

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ah thank you! And thanks about buying my boobies 😃

[@kelleyhawk6595]

When I was growing up in the 80’s , I loved to do my Barbies hair. I would use the Bobby pins, like u did, except use a round curling iron. We didn’t have flat irons then. Or I would wet the hair and let it air dry with the Bobby pins. 🇺🇸☺️

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ooooh!!! Wetting the hair is a great idea! You must have sent me your curling knowledge telepathically!

Pffffahaha! Omg I didn't even think about it. I kinda wanted her to look like the picture but she would have fit in my trifle bowl better than my lil tiny trifle bowl eh. You are filled with sage wisdom my friend!

[@captainmeowington]

My favorite anime, of course: Attack on Titan. Sailor Moon, Demon Slayer. Currently watching Black Clover. Really, really, really enjoyed Bungo Stray Dogs!

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ah you know I love sailor moon. I have plans for a sailor moon tattoo! I haven't heard of Black Clover or Bungo Stray Dogs 🤔

[@captainmeowington]

Ooh, also Spy x Family & Chainsaw Man.

[@eloisetucker1288]

I adored this custom! Omg! Funny thing is it'll be Spring in Sept for me and I am already seeing a lot of blossoms already and which kinda has me in a grumpy mood as I don't enjoy Spring and summer those are the worst seasons for me. It's currently winter where I am and finally my sleep is regulated and in the hotter and warmer seasons my sleep is all over the place and I feel more tired all day. I don't have the privilege of having air-conditioning which sucks. Also I looooove Tokyo Ghoul I wish they'd do more dubbed versions my autism can't stand reading subtitles as I get so overwhelmed with reading it I struggle with paying attention in the scenes and the gorgeous art that is showing and I'm left confused and irritable. As I am more a visual type of person but with real life in person convos the info goes in one ear and out the other lol and I don't remember for the life of me 😅 Lol anyways I've feel like I blabbered on a bit there but I adored your custom and it was actually quite fitting from where I am from! 😊

[@sandiemable]

I love the flowers that come with the Spring and Summer months. But that is all I love about the two seasons; I find the heat and humidity that comes with them unbearable here in Virginia! Could get a small window air conditioner, save up for one?

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ahhhh I wondered when spring is in the southern hemispheres!!! I like spring and autumn, winter and summer are hard. I'm the same with subs. I have them on all the time watching TV but if I properly have to read them I find it exhausting. I have them for clarity... Hope you're doing ok with spring coming

She is so cute. I think doing a Demon Slayer series of like 5 or 6 characters would be cool. Right now I really like Spy x Family.

[@Dolleemixtures]

Omg which characters though 🤔

[@Dasiy1264]

Moon light jewel has done some demon slayer characters so it’d be cool to see some that haven’t been done at least that I know of but seeing those characters in a different style could be cool too

@@ediithtis I'm hearing a lot of Daki and she's suuuuch a great character design. She's pale but not tooooo pale. I've been working on a lot of totally white dolls recently and they're trickier to do than you'd think... can't highlight whiter than white but Daki would be just dark enough to even though she's fair

I'm also working on a Demon Slayer themed project 🥰 I think a Nezuko doll would be really interesting - she has so many versions to choose from. Or Rengoku ❤️💔❤️‍🔥

[@Dolleemixtures]

Oh yeah good call! He's so cute! What are you working on?

[@pattaches]

I recommend soul eater and fire force they are both amazing Tokyo Ghoul is AMAZING. Also psycho pass is great too. I think if you do a demon slayer maybe you can do a zetsu or one of the demons as a doll

[@Dolleemixtures]

Ah thank you so much for your recommendations. I really gotta get on to Tokyo ghoul, ah and finish demon slayer. I'm gonna end up getting left behind and before I know it, it will be like one piece and there's a million episodes
