Thanks so much!

I actually have started doll customizing this year after being inspired by artists by you, my first two dolls were obviously crud cause I didn’t have the right materials, but I’m getting better

[@shuou2794]

That’s nice

[@driedleaf6615]

I wish you good luck in improving.

[@etellan]

That's so amazing to hear! Wishing you the best on your doll journey!

[@choochoopicklepie]

Cool

[@shelly2118]

thats awesome i too was inspired by etellan and dolightful and ive tried customising a doll before but i gave up im glad to see you are persevering and i hope you get better as you go on :))

[@misssquiggles7449]

If you ever feel the need to shelf a project in fear that it's not good enough, just remember. There is no such thing as perfection when you're human. Keep trying, try new things, and show your creations to the world. You are absolutely brilliant and creative and amazing with what you do, so please never feel the need to shelf a project. Stepping away is good to see clearer and fix up things you don't like but please don't be afraid to show your work. We all will love it, no doubt!

[@SupportMensMentalHealth]

Even if you dont like it someone will. You're never going to create perfection and you cant please all of the people all of the time and there is no such thing as failure, just a learning experience. Sometimes putting up a doll you dont feel is right might get you some hints, tricks and tips from your viewers. Remember...its not a failure, it's a trial run x

Oh my goshness. They really do!! I don’t think I would have thought of that.

[@bdeedrick445]

your idea about recreating an old doll with new techniques sounds really interesting and I hope you'll follow through with it in the new year! I'd also like to see you paint more anime figurines if you're up for it

[@etellan]

I definitely would love to give it a go😍 Definitely keen on more anime figures as well!

[@noahhutchins5164]

As always, she's so incredibly beautiful. Everything looks great, but I think the hair is my favorite part because I personally love braids

[@etellan]

Thank you so so much!!

[@TapiNova]

I actually started getting into Doll customizing. Watching creators like you and so many others I finally took the time to get some dolls and paint

Really love the no clothes dolls. It's amazing how texture and enhancing certain areas of the body can breathe so much character and life into it! Also crazy about the starter doll, might go look for her myself. As always, love your work and would love to see more dolls with focus on the body blushing/texture! 🖤

[@zebralovesgum]

she would look so cute with some sort of net or macrame side pouch with sea glass or something in it. i love that u didnt clothe her, her sculpt is so beautiful. i love all ur repaints, this one is so lovely.

[@beckygrout6654]

Just discovered you. Your work really resinates with me. I haven’t picked up a paint brush since I finished a level art in 2015. I lost my passion and I really miss this feeling. I have watched others but your work fills me with inspiration. Thank you for your hard work. It is absolutely stunning.

[@kstar1489]

She’s absolutely beautiful. And this video was quite calming and relaxing to watch, too. I love how your dolls have this quality I can’t explain except shimmering and mysterious, glowing and with so much detail. They all look quite ethereal and even magical with an equally ethereal expression on their face

[@shelly2118]

your videos are incredibly calming the music just puts me in my happy place, please keep creating you really bring me joy and i really appreciate your works :))

She looks beautiful but also a bit mysterious or even dangerous, just like a mythical creature. Lorna is such a beautiful doll and you made her look even more unique and pretty 💙

[@connor4868]

I love how each doll customizer has that one thing that's unique and special about their dolls. for dollightfull it's the body modification and clothes and bright colors. for you it's the ethereal feeling your dolls give, the details, their faces. your dolls almost reach out of the screen. I love your dolls faces, especially their eyes.

[@lanhthedragonprincess7540]

She looks so beautiful her icy blue eyes look so full of life exspelly with the freckle and her hair I love the personality it gives her 😊🙂💙🌊

I got into star wars at the end of last year too!! It's nice to see I'm not the only one :D There's so much content that I'm still going through it all hahaha. I'm kind of obsessed with Clone wars right now so I was ecstatic to see you use Ahsoka as inspiration, it'd be really cool to see you do a doll of her at some point if you're interested :) Also I love how she came out!!! She's so pretty

It's so majestic and calming, I huge difference from what i usually watch. Your voice is also very soothing and your accent is so beautiful.

i know this is a weird request but could you do a video on your eyes? like the iris looks so realistic yet not at the same time and i love that. i also play the sims and sometimes i get bored of the eyes i use very easily. i guess im also asking if you would ever go into that field and release the eyes

[@ness8193]

I really loved your choice to highlight her incredible sculpt instead of covering it, she's one of my favorite MH dolls. I have one I'm saving to customize until I've had a bit of experience doing it. You always draw out the best of what's there, and add such a distinctly Etellan style, and the results are always so lovely.

[@rowans9013]

aaaa i love all your videos so much! they're really calming and one of the only things I can watch and relax without fidgeting with something. In terms of projects, I finished a big cross stitch project this year and am almost done with another one in time for the new year! I also started cosplay and am slowly but surely getting better at styling wigs and makeup! :D

A BEAUTIFUL doll!!! I often find myself working on one project (I sew), but stopping to work on another because a new idea struck me, and it sounded more interesting/fun/prettier/etc. I eventually come back to the unfinished piece and wonder, "Why did I stop working on this??" Perhaps this happens to you, too!

[@VincentGabrielReading]

Dear etellan, I've been binging your content lately, as I prepare to start customizing again, but also to relax me when I'm depressed and anxious. Your dolls are spectacular and you've quickly become one of my favorite content creators out there. I adore your work and hope you never stop! Also, though I'm quite sure you won't see this, what is the song playing in your video, with the young man singing? I've looked everywhere, but cannot seem to find it anywhere. Anyways! Hope this finds you well, and I hope you're having simply the best day! Edit: Found it, sorry! ^^;

I've gotten so many new interests this year, but the one I'm most happy with is I've picked up reading again!! I'm reading so many books I've always wanted to read, and some books I've never heard of, and I'm finding so many amazing authors! It's not much but I'm proud of it :) (I've also been learning so much about myself and my identity, It's difficult but I think it's a step to becoming happier, and you've definitely helped with that :))

[@upliftothers4599]

I love this channel so much. You are such amazing artist and I really look up to you. Every face up is so beautiful and unique, and I hope someday I can paint like that too. Sometimes it's hard to get caught in a perfectionist mindset, and the reason its so damaging is because we are human, incapable of perfection. Sometimes we all have unrealistic standards for ourselves, but we are human, messy, flawed and beautiful just the same. I'm glad that you picked this project back up, because she is stunning. I hope you keep painting dolls for years to come :)

Your art is so beautiful! I love this doll so much. I want to try doll repaints by myself, but I'm not good at drawing so I'm too afraid to try it.

Do you have any tips how to start with doll repaints, such like materials and stuff you will need? I hope my english is good enough to understand, because I avoid to write or speak it. Have a great day and keep up with your great and wonderful work! ❤️

[@EagleVision1999]

I got into BJD this year and bought two. The first one I have painted and I've sown her clothing and wigs. The second is about to be shipped to me in the next few days. Channels like this one definitely contributed, I just didn't really like the look of most fashion dolls.

[@Alixandrite]

I remember a couple videos back you said something about not getting a rerooting tool because of their availability in Australia. Idk if you have found a place to purchase them yet but I have an alternative. The doll artist Dollightful didn't have a proper rerooting tool when she first started so instead she used and needle with its eye cut in half combined with some sort of drill bit handle. I recommend looking at her old videos to see if its something you want to make.

[@PlayLyss]

What glue do you suggest using for creating yarn hair wefts? Also what glossy varnish do you use? Trying to get my supplies for starting to try my hand at this! :)

Recently, I’ve gotten into a show on Netflix called “The Untamed.” It’s based on a LGBT Chinese light novel, and I love the music, costume, and design of the show.
