PERSEPHONE - QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD / Making Custom Monster High Doll / Poppen Atelier

[@PoppenAtelier]

Hi guys! I forgot to ask you which version of Persephone you prefer most: the 'light' or the 'dark' one? Have fun with the video! ❤

[@giuliazoe29]

I love both! They are absolutely gorgeous! ❤

[@VMST-dr8mc]

Both are just too gorgious to decide ome 😌

[@sprngwaters]

They're both so pretty. I'd love to see a side by side comparison of their pictures

[@girlhenryrollns]

Both. But dark is so beautiful I have to choose that one.

[@bridgettes2935]

More in love with this dark one! All of your art is beautiful, and you’re creations are so amazing . Also, love your sweet mother’s beautiful work as well.

[@VMST-dr8mc]

Beautiful, its just gorgious. Trully the Queen of the Underworld. Now we need a Hades 0o0 a couple repaint collection? I exploded my own mind 0_0

[@ElaGravity]

And a cute Cerberus lying near their thrones! 😍

[@shamrahtaylor5875]

Agreed with both request.. please poppen please give us that video and place both of them together along with their dog..🥰

[@pedronunes6089]

@@ElaGravity and a bone trone for hades too like the persephone

[@Pagegirly]

This would be absolutely AMAZING!!!

[@Angelina_Davis26]

I would like a Hades doll too. Please, Popen.

[@dieorkin]

A Hades Doll would be great. You don't make that many male dolls, so Hades would fit Persephone and at the same time add some variety.

[@frostedhulahoopanda5995]

I like how the green chair cushion reflects off the gold skulls and hand.

[@djisthebiqueen]

I definitely think you should do Demeter and Hades next.

[@MsAngelique]

Ohhh a sexy Hades please! Lol.

[@dadisfad]

hades would be cool

[@mandipandi303]

I love her even more than the Summer version. She's gorgeous. The throne was worth the wait.

[@mellowenglishgal]

She’s dark and elegant but not macabre - a perfect balance of her own powers and her status because of her marriage. I was thinking of ideas for future dolls, including male dolls The Greatest Showman! All of the characters from the circus would make amazing dolls!

[@bonedaddyshonestreviews6933]

I agree! I would LOVE to see a bearded lady doll! Of course, she would have to add some "fat" to the bearded lady doll, because in the movie, she's a beautiful plus-size lady. You almost NEVER see a doll depicting a plus-size person, female or male. Being plus-size is almost a stigma nowadays. And that's a shame. There are LOTS of beautiful/handsome plus-size people out there(and I'm one of them)and we are SERIOUSLY underrepresented. I hope that changes someday.

[@allisonreed3420]

I'd love to see your version of The Morrigan. You did an amazing job on Kali, another Warrior goddess.

[@stephaniebotfield7188]

I am always impressed that the doll, no matter what colour it starts, is transformed from (in this case) green to flesh colour. Never stop watching always pause while I leave a message/comment.

[@miippi]

Yes. I love this more than the airbrush, since using the pastels to gradually change the colour is so satisfying.

[@laureencriss8220]

Yes, she's a master of the science of color! It's amazing to watch.

[@Bellinha2812]

The Queen of Dolls made the Queen of the Underworld! 😍 She's absolutely beautiful! Posh and royal without being scary! Amazing! 👏👏👏

[@ILuvBoysInDresses]

If you’ve been enjoying the leafing process, I would suggest Artemis or Apollo - or both. With Apollo being god of the sun, you could use a lot of gold leafing. And with Artemis, you could use a lot of silver instead.

[@sirimateo3987]

Oh my goodness! I love this! My daughter's name is Persephone. My oldest daughter is named Aphrodite. I'd love to see your take on the goddess Aphrodite. I am inlove with your work 🥰.

[@PoppenAtelier]

So cool! Such beautiful names! 😍

[@kyrothyus]

Great name choice! ;D

[@e_kychkina9170]

She is gorgeous! Thank you for your artworks! I like dark Persephone, she looks exactly like she should - she’s a Queen of the Underworld, but she’s not evil nor mad. She’s still a goddess of spring, and it’s so cool that you managed to depict her this way. Her personality does not change, but her role and her environment change.

[@ThePaulorfortes]

Much more than a doll customizer you are a real artist. What you do is on another level. It is pure art. Even the dolls you buy to make them are a kind of comercial ones, you transform them into such an beautiful art pieces. Lucky the one who have the chance to buy one of them specially this one. It is a master piece!!! Congrats 👏👏👏

[@lyn1114]

Now that we have two persephones we definitely need a Hades! I think you should definitely post more often to help out the youtube algorithm. We'd love to see your channel grow. It certainly doesn't have to be full doll projects, maybe quick digital art or simple tutorials or tips for doll artists. Maybe you could do some sort of behind the scenes? Just something that's not too taxing on you but still adds new content regular to the channel.

[@dadisfad]

hades is 100% in need of existing, have a little wedding for the dolls

[@kdcthelioness]

AMAZING! She turned out so beautiful. I love how she's very clearly the same Persephone as your spring version, but changed with the seasons. The black/gold/green aesthetic combined with her red hair, and the slightly paler skin you gave her for the winter? Lovely.

[@colie563]

She is darkly beautiful. Love it. Would have loved to see the 2 Persephones together. I am really liking these mythological dolls of late.

[@j.w.5788]

I know I’m super late, but I really love the fact that you kept the ginger hair and made it darker. I’m a ginger myself and my hair naturally darkens quite a bit during the winter because of the lack of sunlight. In the summer, it fades out because I’m outside in nicer weather. I like to imagine the same is true for her!

[@miippi]

I love how you've "returned" to some your previous ways. Like in the beginning when I started to watch you, you always used pastels to change to colour of the doll skin. Then you got an airbrush, and used it always to change the colour. And then you found pan pastels and the airbrush was swept to the side.

[@miippi]

And I mean it purely at an aesthetic stand point. watching the change in pastels is so satisfying.

[@dadisfad]

yeah i'm waiting for the airbrush to come back

[@miippi]

@@dadisfad i really like the pastels. They are so satisfying.

[@Voirreydirector]

I must echo what I have said before, your eye for color and pastel technique are extraordinary!

[@Sp1tfire_5316]

Absolutely stunning is what she is! The throne would make any god or goddess jealous for sure. I'd love to see u do Hades or Anubis from Egyptian mythology💛🖤💛

[@AnnaPhelps32]

I love this version of Persephone. Your ginger dolls are my favorite! I would love to see you make Hades, or even more male dolls. Your work is amazing. You are truly a great artist. ❤️

[@sailorarwen6101]

I’d like to highly recommend Craft Smart gilding paint. Gold leaf is fun but it can sometimes leave textures one may not want on their projects. I love it and use it all the time, plus a little bit goes a long way so even though the bottle is only .75fl oz it’ll last forever as long as it’s stored properly. Another advantage is you won’t get flecks of gold leaf everywhere

[@PoppenAtelier]

oh thanks! I will check it out if it's available here!

[@tracytaylor3836]

The creativity of this woman is off the charts!

[@afvp9586]

I was having an awful day because of a physics exam but watching your video really brighten it! Thank you!!!

[@elliotvansteemburg6560]

She’s so gorgeous and beautiful, very Queen like. All that’s missing is Hades and Cerberus. I love your work 😊

[@sometimessnarky1642]

Oh yes.... Cerberus! She does such good people but if love to see a lifelike animal.

[@artofket]

Was waiting to see the comparison photos of both Persephone versions. Love the insane detail and the throne! Would've been cool to use the chains as bracelets maybe? Probably tricky to do. Absolutely love your renditions of her and so glad I'm subscribed to your channel!

[@valerywell3295]

Now we need Hades for sure) She is gorgeous!

[@ZDvineMsCassilynn]

I love her so much! That throne took it to the next level, so perfect!

[@kstormgeistgem461]

some say that in Irish lore, one should not wear green on their wedding because it denotes envy and jealousy. that it will lead to an unhappy marriage because of all the drama the wedding dress created. if that's the case, i think what you picked for her wedding dress is perfect. some would envy her for her status as a queen while she might envy others their freedom. and Lord Knows there was a Whole Kettle Full of drama in that mess! lol that aside, lovely work as always.

[@MissMillieEllie]

Looooove her 💖 She really does look dark and elegant, not evil at all. She still has some warmth to her, like an inner glow that reminds us that there is also that summer-part of her.

[@woofiexiii]

She's beautiful! The dress and throne are perfect! Now we need a Hades to go by her side

[@BrittanyDawson]

WOW! She is stunning, and those shoes you created for her are incredible. I never get tired of watching your videos! I would absolutely love to see you do a Buffy the Vampire Slayer doll!

[@acecat5575]

I'm not suuuuper into skulls, but those shoes!!!! I'm obsessed!!!

[@samehdoom6393]

Anyone that goes after her for how she says "pomegranate" is a tool! its cute AF!

[@hannahghormley2605]

A future winter doll idea you could do would be the Witch from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. You could use your new dreadlock technique and I think you could make a really cool icicle crown for her.

[@mariastella]

Amazing. Each little piece of the throne is amazing. Dark Persephone is a queen, indeed!

[@lianicole6456]

I wish you gave her a half-eaten pomegranate in her hand! Absolutely gorgeous doll, I love her expression. I feel like it captures her power and maturity; it’s a perfect contrast the innocent look of the spring rendition

[@angelawelby9993]

I think making hades to complete the theme would be great. You got the bride, so now we just need her groom. 🙂

[@judithstuart9631]

Those shoes alone make this an extraordinary video. Thank you!

[@melissahauke8682]

She's absolutely EXQUISITE! The thrown really makes her complete. I like how she's minimal but also super elegant and majestic.

[@janis6363]

She is gorgeous and the time you spent was worth it. The throne makes the whole story of her life. Goes under to where her husband and throne await her. And we get cold and wet awaiting her return. Mom struck the best deal she could. I like the dark version, this one best. Had to go back and look at light version before vote.

[@pedroeduardo595]

Sorry if something is misspelled, I used google translator to write this review. Your dolls are just incredible, absolutely wonderful. More than once they inspired me to draw or write. Your work is amazing and I can only imagine how difficult it must be. I would like to see you make more boy dolls. If I can give you an idea you could make a Hades to match Persephone. I love your work💜

Please excuse the language but HOLY SHIT. Persephone has always been my favorite, she’s such a faceted character! The duality of being the Maiden of Spring but also the cunning Queen of the Underworld 🌾🌹🥀☠️

As a wiccan its absolutely amazing seeing you create both embodiments of the beautiful triple goddess! You really captured her history in your recrations, absolutely stunning work! 🥰🥰

The great thing is your videos never FEEL like they're long. Your art is so amazing, and you're so helpful with tips. It's fascinating to watch and learn. You always pack lots of content into your vids, no dead space, so it's never boring to where it would feel too long. 💙

It made me so happy when she chose to make the seat of the throne green instead of gold too everything is absolutely beautiful

She is so beautyful you so Talented. I love the golden skulls and the idea 🥰😍

I'm in love with your depiction of Persephone! I think you should also do your version of Hades to accompany the Persephone doll. We need both halves of the Underworld power couple 😆

[@ej9688]

Fantastic!😍you create the most beautiful and unique works of art! Gorgeous Persephone & her fabulous throne are truly majestic!👑

[@cherrylee1103]

I like the dark version best. she is stunning. I think you should watch some Adventure Time videos. there are countless cool characters you could create. a good start would be The Ice King.

[@leahgroess5361]

I had to look back at the Spring version of Persephone to see what you'd done, and they really do look like one person in two different roles! You really put a lot of work into the throne and it turned out amazing. A minor detail that surprised me with how much I loved it was the speckles of gold all along the back of the throne, it was probably just a side effect from foiling the skulls, but it makes the throne look much more cohesive than a black bulk with gold skulls and chains stuck on top. It all works together so well!

[@Ellington3]

She is lovely! You should have given her a pomegranate! It would’ve been nice to see the first Persephone next to the new one! Beautiful work!

[@janiceperla5506]

Love her.didn't mind waiting to see her. The wait for her throne was well worth it

[@MissJell333]

She is gorgeous!!! I really love watching your creative process. It so clear you start out with this concept and image in your brain and then you just let the flow take you where ever it goes. Like how you printed out a bunch of pomegranates and decided to only use one. It is very inspiring and makes me want to take more time for creativity in my life, so thank you for that! 💛🖤💛

[@perladapello4035]

I was looking forward to this video. 🤗 Thank you so much. Always worth the wait. Your videos never feel too long it's always such a joy to watch you work.😊I love both your Persephone but I think the darkness in this doll gave her a little more elegance somehow. As always beautiful work, very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your art with us. 💜💜💜

[@berkleypearl2363]

Oh she’s perfect. I don’t have the words. You simply must must now do Hades to match. It’s so hard to imagine just one or the other. They get lonely

I love her!!!! I've been waiting for this one since the summer Persephone video and she does not disappoint! I think a Hades to go with Persephone would definitely be cool for a next project. Also I'd LOVE to see your take on Artemis or Athena sometime, keeping in the theme of powerful goddesses ^v^

The doll is very nice but adding the throne is simply spectacular!

[@Nayffe16]

Wonderful as always 😍 A recommendation would be that in the future you make Maribel, from the new Disney movie, Encanto. At first glance it may seem simple, but the truth is that her outfit is full of details, both the clothes, the shoes, and the backpack are all handmade.

[@AretteEchonyth]

ERIS! You should make an Eris, Goddess of Discord doll! She's the one that threw the golden apple into the gods' party and sparked off the Trojan War.

[@frantist]

I am so glad you mentioned "or God"!!! I am waiting for ages for your next man doll repaint. Even though I would prefer another manly god I support other comments in making Hades for her. Make him justice and get inspired by Hades from hugely popular Lore Olympus web comics. We all love Hades there!
