Doll repaint: Malenia the Severed | Elden Ring

[@CatmeleonStudio]

First of all: she ended up amazing! I envy your sculpting skills and the paint job is also flawless. I just saw one mistake. If you are shrinking the head you only soak it in the acetone for 2, max 3h (and let it dry for 24). This is called a fast shrinking method and it is recommended only when you just don't have time for the slow method. Slow shrinking method is when you soak your head for 48h and let it dry for the next 48. BUT! In slow shrinking method you use acetone SOLUTION, not a pure aceton. 9parts of aceton and 1part of water. Pure aceton can destroy or deform your head(just what happened to you) and that is why you only use it for a quick soak. If you already have four days for head shrinking - use the aceton and water solution. No deformations and no tears on your head -guarantied. Trust me - I am shrinking heads on all of my doll figurines :)

[@DollAfterlife]

Oh thank you very much for the advice! It was my first time shrinking a head and I was like what the hell 😆 but I wanted to sculpt on top anyway so it wasn't that big of a problem.. this time 👀

[@CatmeleonStudio]

@@DollAfterlife You managed it very well, I must say :) I felt in love in head shrinking and now it is just a must for me :D And I am always happy to see this method in videos of others :) I hope that you will give it a try in the future once again! You are an amazing customizer and your processes are a pure joy to watch! ^_^

I’m not familiar with this character, but your details brought her to life! You are an artist and I learned a lot watching you.

[@Nightbrazen]

You may not enjoy sculpting but you are amazing at it! She is so gorgeously done and you captured all her details! I am going to say 56 hours

[@DollAfterlife]

Thank you so much!! But cold 😁 it's way more 💪

[@TheDarksideCry]

Finally Malenia is ready and I must say that the result is truly a joy for the eyes. You know, Emily, the thing I like most about you and your dolls is that there is clearly a real passion for what you do, and each subsequent job is more complex and refined than the previous one. Malenia is my favorite Elden ring boss, I love her design, her story, her elegant way of fighting and her voice. She is one of the most beautiful characters created by From Software, and your doll is a beautiful interpretation of the original. I admire your talent. Keep it up 😉

[@DollAfterlife]

OMG this is the best thing I could wish to hear about me and my work! I'm speechless 😍 You can see right through me, I really love what I'm doing and always try to bring up something new!

Do not focus on just one form of art. It is your wide range of skills that gives your dolls such incredibly beautiful details. I do not know this character, but this doll is gorgeous. You have a new follower in me. Bravo! I can't wait to see more from you.

I am always so blown away by your creativity and talents when you create a doll, but this is next level. So intricate and so well detailed from head to toe. The face, the dress, the cape, the armor, the helmet, everything is just truly amazing! This is easily 100 hours of work if not more. So impressive. Love all your work!

[@sublimechimp]

Beautiful work! That helmet and sword alone are something else

[@petrahachmann5289]

This doll is incredible, all the details are amazing…the several techniques you morph on this doll -fantastic-. The hours you need I can’t imagine but I think more than 90 hours are realistic. I fascinated from the prosthetic arm and leg and the filigrane details and patterns you gave this pieces. And the helmet “wow “ that blowed me away. And the golden pattern on the cape…..and …and …and . Thanks for sharing 🙏🥰😍

[@christineingram55]

This is amazing to watch and she’s so beautifully creates.Every single part of her has had so much love and attention put into her.I guesstimate it’s taken well into 100 hrs to creat this one.And I am for one glad to see all your amazing skills come into action in this Art Doll.you changed her face completely with cutting and shaving down parts you did not want prominent.That’s no easy job.Your sculpting was seamless and it looked as if she was always that way.The clothes and helmet were made beautiful and the patina effect on the helmet and sword was perfect.She’s a perfect example of an Art doll.One criticism I have .You forgot to put knickers on her.if you could not make any a short skirt under it would have covered up the gap.You made everything else realistic and I am sure the actress or cartoon had knickers(pants,underwear on) But she’s gorgeous non the less .I love her 🥰

[@DollAfterlife]

Thank you for the kind comment 😁 100 hours is a very close prediction, good job 😊 The part about knickers made me giggle a bit, because I don't think she has any!

[@perfectication]

STUNNING - I know you said the sculpting is your least favorite part, but it is some of the best! I know how quickly hours can add up on an art project, I can't even really guess how much time you spent but I will take a shot - 80 hours?

[@skerendreamera]

I love watching your videos. It always feels like you went that extra step to do a character right even when I have no clue who said character even is. My guess is 67 hours by the way.

[@fampetersen8406]

When people say: you should concentrate on one thing….As if it is a choice…I am just like you, a Jack of all trades. We are so curious about the world around us, that we could never only do one thing. I dont want to feel limited by only doing fx coloured pencils. No, i need to learn new things all the time. It is not a choice, it is just the way we work.♥️

[@DollAfterlife]

I agree with you 100%! I also think that it's our super power, because if one thing won't work out for us, we can easily switch to any of the other things we learned 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻 in the modern day society being flexible is definitely a strength! Also limitations destroy creativity. If we want to create something great we need to explore and experiment. 👍🏻

To me, making the cloths seems like the hardest part. My brian can't comprehend all the skill that goes into cutting, shaping, & sewing the seems to make a cohesive outfit that actually looks good. Sculpting is only moderately difficult & painting/makeup is easy for me. But I'd definitely fall short at making the cloths.

Not weird at all, I like how the rot looks as well 😁and thank you so much for the compliment 🥰

[@KingaOwczarska]

I think saying that prefecting one skill is "boring" isn't something really fair to people who actuall do this. There are artisans and craftsmen who become masters in a specific skill and it's just as wonderful and creative as having a wide array of skills. Which, BTW, is amazing to have when making doll customisations - you certainly are masterful in it, but never look down on people who decide to master just one thing.

The brother begged an Metal Alchemist for help so the old women and her family forged her a new arm but sadly could do much help with her eyes Malenia said there was no need for new eyes, she can see peoples aura even with scarred eyes the blinding light of the sun doesn't hurt her anymore.
