Painting the most Stylish 💄✨ Freya Resin Figure from Chobits | Anniversary Special [Subt Esp]

[@leonasworkshop]

Hey guys! I'm happy to see you all come back to watch my shenanigans! I know all of you are very understanding of the reasons for my lack of content in these past couple of months, not only that but also that I was not able to bring what I promised to the table at the beginning of the year. You guys have been so supportive and have given me so much that wanting to bring out more videos for you was my way of giving back to you, that's why I feel like I've let people down and feel bad with myself for that. I suffer from anxiety, in fact, I've been told I have high functioning anxiety and when it comes to my work and performance, I tend to really overthink things because it's the part of my life where I feel I should have more control over and that's my work and my passion, imagine scenarios that are not there and overall just feeling like things are going to fall apart. I'm working on that, trust me, my therapist is having grand time helping me with that. I know I shouldn't feel that way and I'm working on it. I just wanted to say that I do mean it when tell you guys that I truly appreciate all the support, you guys have changed my life, believe it or not. So Thank you! 🤗🥰

Honestly, bad as it may sound of me to say, I don't mind when you get videos out. I understand that each person has a different schedule, different life circumstances, and just are different in general. I genuinely enjoy watching you work, and your commentary adds just a little bit of humor and you always share interesting or useful information as well. It always feels like a little treat when I see a new video of yours pop up. The projects you do are time consuming, so honestly, just take the time you need for yourself and space it out amongst your work. You are an absolutely wonderful and creative person, so please don't apologize for being a human being with a life!

[@Cutiefulbrit]

Thanks for putting where to buy garage kits cause I couldn't find any

[@pandamainiak2895]

Leona you have a life too, like everyone else we all have things going on we can't control. In the end if you don't get things done, take a deep breathe it's gonna be ok. It's alright because I still love your work and its amazing every time!! I'm so happy for your progress on your health as well! I look forward to seeing more work I'll wait as long as it takes 😊

[@AwkwardBirb]

“I’m lazy” she says, as she puts in more work to fix a crappily sculpted kit than I’ve ever done on a single project IN MY LIFE 😂

[@leonasworkshop]

😂 I either have too high standards to call myself lazy or I live in a completely different world that's not earth for everyone to say that I ain't lazy

[@Amaranthyne]

@@leonasworkshop I would say your standards are high, but maybe this is the matrix and you got the red pill…

[@AwkwardBirb]

@@leonasworkshop I think your laziness is the kind that leads you to do things more efficiently because it's less work that way, while my laziness just leads me to not do things at all xD

[@MaxRide1]

@@leonasworkshop I reckon you have what's referred to as lazy genius - finding more efficient ways of doing things so they take less time and less effort to do them. It's actually one of the best kinds of genius (without it we wouldn't have things like cars or trains etc.) so keep on being a lazy genius

[@MoteMayhaps]

I cannot believe that the sculptor didn't put in connection points. You made it work so well, though- this really showcases your talent! You don't have to apologize for not making everything- your health, and caring for it, always takes precedent over production. We like your work, but without you being at 100%, we can't see it. So why would anyone be mad that you took care of yourself?

[@Symirai]

I agree, personally I feel a planned project will come when it's ready not just cause you said your gonna do it, our health always comes before our projects & I'll wait as long as I have to see another stunning piece by Leona ❤🤗

[@anangel2618]

@@Symirai Me too!

[@axureerheeid9136]

I don't think I'll ever watch chobits but daaaaaaemn that black glossy paint tho

[@sakurainu5098]

She has a twin! I've never seen the show but now all the art I've seen makes so much more sense 😂 stunning work as always 😍

[@novafiregalaxy204]

I definitely recommend watching it!!

[@danielfranco5165]

I hate how creators need to apologize for being human, y’all patience is a virtue. I personally prefer Quality over quantity, and homegirl brings you nothing but QUALITY!!!!!

[@AlicesWhoRuHouse]

For as much as a nightmare this kid seemed to be in the prepping stage it came out beautifully. 🥺 Truly stunning ugh I wanna watch chobits again now!

[@anangel2618]

Same, literally made me watch the whole series again

[@lysanderkrieg5474]

Your content is well worth the wait regardless of how long those intervals are. All good things come to those who wait and people need to learn some patience. Many thanks for your always stunning work.

[@May_Flowers696]

Such a gorgeous figure. You put in so much work modifying and stabilizing the pieces, your experience and expertise shine in the final reveal. Every video is a gift for us; please don't worry about letting down viewers.

[@h0lz_xX]

IM GLAD YOUR BACK

[@Darxetta]

Dry brushing metallic colors onto matte black is always such a neat transformation. Beautiful work as always~

[@TOchick]

I'm so hype for Jupiter and Amalthea/the unicorn!!!! GAHHHHHH The Last Unicorn is my fav!!!!!! I love this Chobit series as well! Love it! Freya came out so beautiful! Glad you made it through the struggles!!! They all look amazing!!!

[@aldrea6506]

Freya came out gorgeous just like Chii and Sumomo! I know you said the Chii figure was like super tiny but I didn't realize just how tiny until she was next to the others, lol. No apology needed for the over ambition, life happens. Plus it is better to take your time and enjoy your craft than to try to rush the projects and loss your joy while doing them. Then we would be super sad cause there wouldn't be any more of your awesome videos.

[@CompanionCorbs]

So glad you’re recovered! Take the time you need - your fans appreciate the efforts you make!

[@sinistersaint]

I just want to say, I ADORE your channel. I love watching your videos - the music, your commentary and intermissions (holy shit you're funny!!), and your unbelievable talent. When I'm financially able in the future I would love to subscribe and support your work. You've done so many figures that bring me back to my childhood, Chobits included.... please don't ever stop what you do!

[@lisaleepersonal]

I didn't realize that the lace in-progress images were both meant to be lace (I thought they were elaborate scrunchies) and made from putty! The figure is super pretty, and the texture to the black looks so amazing! You shouldn't feel the need to apologize for the year trailer video. It's understandable plans change for whatever reason. Do what you can without over working yourself!

[@toadigail]

the part where you literally SCULPT in the lace bits is amazing. so dedicated to the craft.

[@27dog101]

I live for these. They are such soothing videos to watch, even with the frustration of having to mask everything.

[@honeydew661]

You didn’t let us down!! It’s a time consuming hobby and time is precious to also spend on yourself and your health!!

[@Redd513]

Also, Girl you didn't let us down. I know it might be hard for you to step back, but it's important not only for your physical and mental health but also your creative spirit! We are just happy that you're doing well!!!

[@SupremeViola]

"I suck at this!" ...she says, having more sculpting skill than probably the vast majority of her viewers. Your work is always impressive. As someone who has a hobby with a similar "check your work" step, there's no shame in finding things need adjustment then; that's why we have it!

[@epona_7841]

I don't mind waiting on videos! I just enjoy your work! Life can get in the way, it's completely understandable! I hope you are recovering well from your surgery. Freya came out beautiful! The trio looks great together. Glitter can definitely hide all the sins🤣 Very excited to see Princess Jupiter and the last unicorn figure, I know they will be spectacular!

[@Wendywolffriend]

Honey, don’t you dare apologize for taking time for yourself. Whether you are healing, taking a mental break, or just not that interested. You are not obligated to give us anything. ❤ That said, I LOVE your art! And I cannot tell you how impressed I am that you are designing your own garage kit! You are an amazing, incredible and wonderful artist! And I am so excited to see what you make next. ❤❤❤

[@sailormoon367]

About the last message in your video: Just look at it as more of a UPCOMING PROJECTS TO BE RELEASED WHEN IT HAPPENS hehe! Regardless of how long it takes we are all so excited for your new videos with the Resin Kits 😄 Health comes first and foremost! So it's all good! We're still excited for the rest of the projects when they come out! 😄😄😄

[@brianahawkins8124]

She looks Beautiful.💖 See you next time. 😊

[@yumeironeko]

As someone who has never done anything like making figures, I am always astounded by the amount of work and accumulated knowledge and talent that you put into each and every one of your projects. I really love seeing you share your passion with us and am grateful to be given a peak into your process. We all appreciate whatever amount of content your life allows you to share.

[@carlosaguirre742]

No need to apologize, we appreciate all your hard and beautiful work 🙏🏻

[@owlincubator9773]

Thanks again for new video updated! Pretty well done job again and I'm looking forward to princess Jupiter!!!!💕💕💕💕💕😍

[@lindaweldon1927]

You are just plain genius. Plain and simple an artistic genius.

[@tierraxblades]

She looks amazing! And wow seeing Chii next to her really put it in perspective how small that kit was. My mum's actually in the process of getting quotes for the same surgery you've had. She had a gastric band so of course alot of weight loss very quickly. I'm glad to see you've mostly recovered. As always thank you for the content! I do enjoy consuming it. Also please don't get yourself down for taking on to much! We all do it. Take your time and continue to produce quality content rather than quantity. We love you Resin queen. XD

[@OMG_Pancakes]

With the amount of issues this kit had it shows just how talented you are! Beautiful work as always.

[@karlthefruitloop]

Seeing this in my feed as a chobits fan makes me feel immense joy

[@lightshine1062]

Whenever Leona Uploads, I go on a binge. That time has come once more!!!

[@Moon-Vixen]

I'm so glad you changed out the paint you used for the gold. the first one looked straight up metallic GREEN and what you ended up with looks a million times better!

[@yoho2404]

Literally such a testament to craftsmanship I am always so amazed. Didn’t even know about the kit and model community until I stumbled upon your videos years ago. Take as long as you need to get better but yet again you have just blown expectations out of the water! Amazing work!!!! Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us! ❤🎉

[@chillfactory9000]

I've never watched chobits, but seeing these figures honestly makes me want to. Theyre so gorgeous? Plus, your paint job and work makes it even more stunning.

[@steinfliege9912]

Its refreshing to hear you speak your opinion so freely. Great video and result, such great craftsmanship

[@willpower8061]

Glad to hear your doing well. I totally understand the thing about old kits. I have some figures they never remade so I had to work with what I had.

[@fablehill]

Congrats on the healing, you're looking positively radiant in this video!

[@alexotter1760]

your princess senshi videos got me to watch sailor moon and now i feel like the same thing is going to happen with chobits after these figures 🥺 the amount of effort you put into these figures (freya especially!!) is so amazing and they turned out gorgeous!!

[@aquariasketches2147]

Aww, Leona, it's okay. I, personally, didn't take your video as a timeframe. I saw it more of a sneak peek of what was to come, so I'm still hella excited. Sometimes life just gets in the way.

[@angelawelby9993]

You are looking fantastic ❤. Glad you’re back and doing well. This piece looks great like the others 🎉

[@AkaneCelesHiko]

Each of these three kits were challenging, and I love how you overcame those challenges and made beautiful art. This is a beautiful trio that stand alone, or look perfect together. You're so good at cohesive painting, and able to balance a single figure to all in a series. Great work!

[@penprp]

We enjoy your content whenever you can bring it out, and we appreciate you taking the time to do your figures RIGHT!

[@kellyfrost-cook4932]

The last unicorn is my fav! Hope you will be able to more characters from the movie. So happy for you! Makes me wish I could do these but I enjoy watching and listening to you immensely ❤️

[@Somnifuge]

Every new Leona video I inch closer to convincing myself to finally try my hand at a garage kit...

[@lauraj349]

Unrelated to the video but you look so happy Leona ! I'm glad your surgeries were a success and I'm looking forward to more of your works!

[@ArticTiger]

Thanks to you I pained my first ever figure. It's crap but I broke into the hobby now so I can't wait to paint more and get better :D Thank you for introducing this hobby to me. I have a pic in my own community tab if you are curious :D

[@nerdypenguin9164]

i always look forward to a Leona video. Its always a lovely surprise.

[@sarahader8118]

NICE!! Can't wait to see the video. Are you taking care of yourself too Leona? Please don't hesitate to take breaks when needed and don't push yourself too much

[@RyzelSama]

I am so sorry you had to fight with all that you did peg wise, but great job getting around that and you always do such amazing work! and omg I have that same color shifting paint and a few of the others and it does wonders! I used a nice black that shifts to goldish brown on my Tifa figure's Skirt and it gave it a more leathery look! It really made my figure pop more and not look just plain black all over the figure, so hopefully that tidbit of info will help you in the future! :3c.

[@afroboricua]

Whether or not people are disappointed by you not finishing your goals for the year, they should completely understand. Look at ALL the work you do so that these come out awesome! If projects need to be folded into the new year, that’s okay. How can anyone not understand?

[@leonasworkshop]

I see that there's a lot of understanding, I'm lucky and happy that my followers can see the amount of work that is put into these kits but not only that but to know that life can get in the way. I feel like I let people down because when I promise something, I always strive to keep my word, I wanted to bring more content to you guys because I've received so much love and support that it's my way of giving back, at least that's what I wanted to do. I'm a people pleaser to some point and maybe it's part of suffering from anxiety that I'm overthinking things that maybe are not there. I'm just happy to see that the support is still here even with all the setbacks 🥰🤗

[@Gemblackcat]

Thank you hun, as beautiful as always! Love watching you work.

[@93ellimac]

A little thumb up to help you ! Love your work for some years. Keep it up!

[@laylahawkins4873]

I actually fell asleep during the premiere XD I think not only was the music calming but I was exhausted from my vacation trip and having to stay at a hotel to visit my step grandpa in the hospital for a few days. He went to the ICU in another town about two hours away literally three days after we came back from the trip.

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

Wow the irridescent effect looks awesome!

[@Istonymd13]

como decimos aqui en Venezuela, le echaste bolas para hacerle todos esos detalles incluso cuando hiciste las mangas y el cuello de ella me dije " eso es amor al arte " te felicito y admiro mucho tu trabajo es SUPER INCREIBLE

[@BlackKara]

Im working with an old kit that is being really trying. This video has been so much help.

[@Oyukidono]

I can't believe your mind didn't break during this kit construction from having to fix so many issues! I can't believe you sculpted the missing lace out of the filler material! I would have used worbla for it, but it just goes to show you how amazing your skills are. Glad to know you know her as Freya as well. I never called her "dark Chi". As a fan of the manga for years, I'm really happy to see you've done such a wonderful job with these kits.

[@curlyburp]

Such amazing work. Don't mind the wait for content at all; makes it feel like a special treat 😊

[@ceciliablomqvist6677]

Tack!

[@cranberri_inari]

Sooo happy you’re back and healing well!! I’ve missed your awesome figure art skills 😭

[@SpectralRebel20]

That drill bit got me! 😂 You are so funny I love watching your videos, I’m so glad you’ve recovered.

[@Rozdlc]

Amazing! And don't worry about not being able to get to all the kits mentioned in the trailer. Life has a habit of throwing speedbumps when one least expects. Take care and keep up the great work!

[@beheroot]

a friend of mine toss link for your video at me(it was sailor mars), and this is a second film i watch. I saw you and was like 'wth happend, is she sick? why is she so thin compared to that other video?" (yes, i tend to completly ignore dates on vids and get bit confused by that sometimes :D) Then you mention community tab and was happy to see that it was not some horrible events in your life but well monitored "simple" weight loss :) while i dont understand "garage kits" i like your videos... and amazing airbrush job :D

[@CrystalArtest]

Mad respect for sculpting the missing parts

[@cassandralyris4918]

I had the same issues with a Nuku Nuku Dash kit from the 90's that I bought last year. Little to no keying, pieces were warped from over using the molds. It was bonkers. I never got totally happy with her. I really should pull her out and give her another shot. Your skills are truly inspiring. Freya came out incredible in spite of her problems. Congrats on your weight loss and skin removal. I know that's a huge step. 🤗🥰💖

[@meganthompson1159]

The like button wasn't enough so I'm here to show more love for Freya🖤🤗🤗👏👏👏

[@ElisaG-art]

so beautiful! Glad to see you back! hugs from Brazil 💖

[@NeonMace]

Do what you gotta do and take care of yourself - don't put yourself out for the sake of entertainment. I hope I can speak for all/most of us when I say it's nice to receive what you give us in general!

[@Msis03]

Just bought my first garage kit and your videos are such a huge help in how to get started! My first garage kit and I’m going to be customizing it as well, so under A LOT of pressure, but following your set ups and process, I feel more confident now :)

[@JeannyDoll]

maravilloso trabajo. Cuando tengo tiempo de ver los subtitulos me siento a mirar tus videos de nuevo, lo disfruto mucho

[@alicekingsley7311]

I don't think I'll ever watch Chobits for it is made for males in mind, but your work is amazing again! Damn, girl. You made half the sculptors work and 1000% of the painting and details. It's freaking magnificent! I'm more of a listener, than a watcher, since I don't have a ton of free time and usually does my artistic work while listening to you, but I always check out some of the process and the whole end result. You are amazing! ✨❤️

[@vi77o_18]

Omg that lace came out amazing!🔥

[@Renge43]

No need to apologize for life hitting ya hard. What’s most important is that your physical and mental health. Thank you for all your hard work

[@dunny927]

these are so beautifully presented, and resin figures could never with my hands, so wow! i am amazed.

[@Anakarion666]

I love how you did Freya, and not going to lie I wish I had at least 1/10 of your talent cause I would buy this kit only cause I love Freya this much. I wish we could have seen her more then we did because of how amazingly mysterious she was

[@yaoiwarrior]

I can’t believe you have the audacity to call yourself lazy when you freaking SCULPTED LACE for this kit!!! You’re a boss, Leona ❤

[@jessical4866]

If there's one thing I've learned watching your channel, it's that every kit is going to have little issues that will have to be addressed, but seeing how much struggle you went through to fix the sculptor's mistakes gives me pain. If I ever meet the person who thought no connection keys was a good idea, we're going to have WORDS.

[@prodrumernate]

you had me at Freya...i love chobits..sumomo is funny and the king of persocom i want.esoecially with the wakey wakey exercises..i have all volumes and some merchandise.cant get enough chobits..thank you for yhis.glad to see someone else likes chobits.

[@sleepyfoxworkshop]

You've never been a disappointment to me. I love your videos as they are whenever they come. You're human and things come up, take care of yourself first. I'm so glad your surgery went good and you healed well. You're work always inspires me to keep going.

[@Abedeuss]

Hey, just wanted to say for the video tutorials/showcases/whatchumacallit. I'm a figure sculptor (who recently started painting works too) and lots of stuff you show in your videos have been very useful. They've even gotten me interested in buying a GK to work on in the future too, though I have yet to find one that wouldn't be too difficult for a beginner (and with character I like).

[@catherynekeyleigh]

Makes you love Wanzi kits even more, this kit is a pain, but you make it look gorgeous as usual. Thanks for your hard work! ❤️

[@XB3Gaming]

Glad to see you back at it. Haven't seen a video from you in my feed for a while. Was nice to be reminded about your channel! Your Shantae video helped me get comfortable working with resin kits and airbrushing, and I watch your videos for pointers about painting character figures. Got a couple characters from Five Star Stories I'll be working on eventually and these are great to use for references and tips.

[@ramirotapia2217]

Increible trabajo, felicitaciones

[@Joeyskitty16]

All 3 turned out beautiful! The amount of work you put into them was amazing. To be honest I didn’t like the manga for Chobits, but I really enjoyed the level of detail and commitment to these kits. I may have to give the manga a second shot. The fact that that sculptor left off so much is insane! Major kudos for not giving up on these in the face of that and health issues. About the last message…NO APOLOGIES! Life happens. It’s messy and chaotic and there’s no way to plan for emergencies. While it’s good to have an idea of what projects you want to do; nothing is set in stone. Having the opportunity to do your own kit not something you should pass on. Anyone who likes to do projects and create, knows that sometimes you don’t always make it to the deadlines you set for yourself. Things come up and some projects need to be put on the back burner. That’s ok! Your health matters! So don’t apologize for life being messy.

[@elinarirhodan3760]

Chobits was one of the first manga I ever collected and read in full, so it has been an absolute joy to see all of these character figures come to life. As ever, your super frank and honest approach inspires me as much as your skills! Time to break out my resin printer and practice airbrush techniques more

[@TsukiyoTenshi]

Biscuits and sugar this kit took so much excess work and prepping! I've seen you work on so many different kits, but I don't think I remember any of them being quite so...undone? But for all the extra work that took to get this kit to completion, I think the final product was absolutely beautiful and those gold accents gave just that little bit of elegance to and otherwise dark-robed figure! Lazy my stinkin' foot! You worked super hard on this thing, made every little adjustment needed to make the kit into a cohesive piece, and here I am flitting from one project to another because I can't focus on one thing at a time from start to finish half the time! XD

[@corylcreates]

I just found your channel and I'm so excited to go and catch up on your content. Your attention to detail is amazing and so admirable.

[@lunamoon6059]

She is so cute and beautiful and thank you so mcuh for every video you make they are also so amzing to watch and see your art is so amazing!!! Im so excited to see your next video. But please take care of yourself and And take your time. I hope a have great day!!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Finally found some time to check the video on computer, not TV, from where I can comment :) Damn! You have so much patience and determination... I would probably just glue everything together and said to myself: "naaaah, it will be fiiiiiine" XD (don't hate me XD) The figurine, when you've done with it - muah! Chef's kiss :) Love the shiny black parts! And you looking great as well ^_^
