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.

[@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.

[@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..🥰

[@Angelina_Davis25]

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

[@frostedhulahoopanda5995]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@allisonreed3420]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@Bellinha2812]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 👏👏👏

[@samehdoom6393]

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

[@afvp9586]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@tracytaylor3836]

The creativity of this woman is off the charts!

[@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💛🖤💛

[@megshimek6480]

This is giving major "Persephone can't come to the phone right now. Oh, why? Because she's dead." Vibes 🖤🖤

[@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!

[@shannontaylor4474]

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

[@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. ❤️

[@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!

[@elliotvansteemburg6560]

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

[@sometimessnarky1642]

[@madamplatypus313]

Man, gold leaf is just so satisfying to watch.

[@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.

[@woofiexiii]

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

[@melissahauke8682]

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

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.

[@acecat5575]

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

[@AadenKDragon]

My favorite version of Persephone is that she saw an entrance to the Underworld, met Hades, and went "Yeah, I'm queen now. Deal with it." There are so many versions of Hades luring her or kidnapping her or seducing her that I feel like it's just people romanticizing that kind of stuff and not actually paying any attention to any other lore. Anyway, I really feel that this dark version of her is the real her. I absolutely love it.

[@sarahminch7144]

You might like Lore Olympus on Webtoon, then. It's one of the versions where she actually wants to be with Hades

[@SharmClucas]

If you go back far enough in the lore there's evidence that Hades and Persephone are mutually in love but her mom's the one who keeps kidnapping her daughter and can't get over the fact that she's grown up and married now.

[@TheSylvirr]

Mythology is one of my favorite things, and the Hades and Persephone myth is also a favorite. Now that I'm older, I've realized the myth is less about them, and more about Demeter refusing to let go of her child when she's already a fully grown adult, and letting her have her own life isn't tantamount to losing her forever. But Persephone became not only the goddess of the underworld, but *also* the goddess of...are you ready? HAPPY MARRIAGES. Because she was _happily married_. And pretty much historically was the only wife of a major god who A) was never cheated on B) was treated like an equal (to the point where Hades would often refuse to make decisions without her) and C) stayed a virgin until *she* wanted to. Which was KIND of a big deal, and also sort of spits in the face of the whole other allegations. It's seriously one of my favorite things. ....That, and the stories that can be summed as "Zeus, NO" "ZEUS Y E S"

[@soothsayingProfit]

I like the interpretation in Hades (The videogame). Persephone was basically kidnapped by Zeus and plopped on Hades' doorstep as a 'housewarming gift'. While annoying for Persephone, she was also getting fedup with the dealings of the Olympians and wanted to get away from them anyways, eventually falling in love with Hades for real. Later on when they're making amends with their family, Persephone, to keep being able to live in the underworld and not have to stay with the olympians constantly, makes up the lie about the pomegranate seeds, saying having eaten some bound her to the underworld, which was bullshit and her whole family knew it but they went along with it anyways. The story passed on to mortals who took it as truth.

[@Pandie2828]

In the oldest version that I know of it was sort of an arranged marriage bc Hades wanted to marry her but knew Demeter wouldn't approve so he asked Zeus (her father) what he should do and he told him just to take her I'll add a link to my source bc it's a really good video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5SYnKaQiduNhJo

[@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!

[@VondaInWonderland]

I can feel your poor mom, when you were cutting your doll's hair ♥

[@EEsmalls]

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. 💙

[@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]
