Repaint and Body Mod: Narissa, Guardian of the Kelp Forest Art Doll

"The sea, once it casts its spell, hold one in its net of wonder forever" -Jacques Cousteau
Here is a look at the process of making Narissa, Guardian of the Kelp Forest. Every year I look forward to Mermay and the wonderful sirens that make it magical. This is my submission, I hope you like her. I show repainting her face, creating her tail and accessories, and styling her hair.

She is absolutely gorgeous. I love how her tail came out and the idea for petals as scales was amazing. Her hair looks so pretty. I love expression. She’s so beautiful

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much!

[@charlottemailhe8238]

She is fabulous and looking so sassy! Love her colour combo!

What a wonderful way to start mermay with a beautiful creation from Lady Dynamite!!

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much! I am so excited for all of the mermaid to start rolling into my feed.

Thanks!

Thinking about it, if the limbs stock box you have ever seems to be getting too full for comfort, you could use them to create a spider themed doll with a full eight limbs, or even something like the grafted scions from elden ring. Could easily get big and unwieldy thought, so if it's not on the table, that's understandable

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

That is a really good idea, I used the joints from a set of the legs when I made my demon girl but it had not occurred to me to do a multileg doll.

[@CranesCreatures]

i love mermaid-themed dolls so much, but this one is just.... WOW. THE TAIL. THE HAIRSTYLE. THE EARRINGS. so unique yet mind-blowing. you are so talented

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much!! You are so kind :)

[@VondaInWonderland]

She's amazing! I love that you did a stuffed fabric tail that can still be posed, and the leafs make perfect scales 🌿 Doll company's should take note ♥

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you! 😊 They definitely should!

[@brianahawkins8124]

@@LadyDynamiteCreates I tried every artist from Etsy and none of them design ever after high shoes or monster high shoes. I couldn't find at least one pair of lovely Ice shoes for my miniself Winter Gala theme. I just need lovely Ice shoes I mean it doesn't have to match Elsa's Let it Go shoes I want a much better design of winter shoes. The Snowflake can be on the back of the heal while the front hmm maybe frost shards rising up. I am so not using the heat gun on Elsa's shoes I can't take any chances on ruining those pair.

Beautiful, love her hair.

Thank you!

she is absolutely gorgeous! i love all of your dolls- they're so beautiful and have so much personality to them! i would love to see your rendition of elphaba and glinda from wicked- i feel like you would do such an incredible job!

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Elphaba is on my to do list! I want to do a glammed up version and make her dress a bit more sleek.

[@xfairfaeriex]

Love all of the details you put into her and the creative elements you added! I also love that the dark green hair is called Pluto. Definitely must have some Sailor Moon fans at the Doll Planet. 😊

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much!!

[@christineingram55]

She’s absolutely stunning .I love her more natural facepaint and you did a beautiful job of the tail and the fin look very different but so fright for her..She’s an Exquisite Art Doll and was such a pleasure to watch her come together as always by your talented hands..Love n Light 🥰

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much!

[@tenshikoneko34]

Fun little hack with the little rubber bands: get you some lemon essential oil on a qtip and the band should break and not damage the hair!

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

It wont damage the nylon doll hair? Thats really cool.

[@YoSnap]

I love her expression!

Thank you!

I have a Vandala that I’m planning to make a Victorian pirate lady since the leg has a super detailed sculpt and looks really neat painted out. I also love her transparent skin tone and I think with a little bit of blushing and skin toned pastels it will look like the almost transparent skin that was considered beautiful at the time

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

That's a great idea! Good luck!

[@dinoinadress2273]

@@LadyDynamiteCreates thanks!

[@marinaknecht5358]

What a lovely colorsheme! I also appreciate that this doll has no sewing required. (As I wanna get into dollmaking but the sewing prospect intimidates me)

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you! 😊 Like Knightdoll said there are tons of ways around sewing so don't let that discourage you. I highly recommend checking out a French doll artist here on KZbin, Selene. She rarely sews and uses original clothing to transform them into totally new and unique pieces. There are lots of doll artists that take clothing commissions too.

[@rocknromance78]

Amazing as always

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@heatherforster5962]

She’s beautiful!!💕 the leaf scales are so ingenious and they came out amazing! I’ve been with your channel since about the beginning and I love your work! As a giveaway doll, I’d love to see a Persephone doll based on the Persephone from Lore Olympus!💕

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much for your support! It would be super fun to make her and do a Greek inspired outfit.

[@caliirland8947]

@@LadyDynamiteCreates That would be really cool! And then later on you could make a Hades one too in an ancient Greek inspired outfit too!

I always can't help but wonder metaphorically speaking how characters if they were real do their hair and how long it would take them and if they'd do it the same each day. Also how it would stay put whilst constantly swimming in the ocean. 😭

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Well it took me a couple of hours so lets hope it wouldn't be that long for real 😆

[@xxpoisonxrosexx]

itd be really cool to see a viking princess doll

I like that idea!

Very professional work 🤩 How about you make Renna from the Elden Ring? She has a very unique style and design!! She’s very popular too in the game ☺️

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Great suggestion!

[@brianahawkins8124]

Oh my Sorcery of Water Magic she's Gorgeous!!!, you could save her wooden leg for another doll project like maybe a pirate or steampunk, Sad to say no gosh darn luck again for finding Rainbow High well better luck next time. But the best part my Repertory from One Step Beyond is helping me adjust my Elsa Let it go Gown to fit my Miniself. Plus we are also gonna try adjust two more of Elsa's night gown's to fit as well, She know's sewing more than I do. I tried every artist from Etsy and none of them design ever after high shoes or monster high shoes. I couldn't find at least one pair of lovely Ice shoes for my miniself Winter Gala theme. I just need lovely Ice shoes I mean it doesn't have to match Elsa's Let it Go shoes I want a much better design of winter shoes. The Snowflake can be on the back of the heal while the front hmm maybe frost shards rising up. see you on your next video. :)

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thanks and that is awesome news! Its so great you were able to find someone to help with your adjustments.

[@brianahawkins8124]

@@LadyDynamiteCreates Yw, she saw how upset I was so we decided to work on the few Disney Frozen clothes that are perfect for my miniself for bed time, the shoes however if I use a heat gun I'll just end up melting them. :( I can't take that chance.

[@cosmika72]

Hey again! You said you couldn't be able to Nezuko so I was wondering, if you seen or played The Last Of Us can you make an Ellie doll? I'm pretty she would be easy to make! :)

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

I watched my husband play the last of us, it was such a wonderful story line.

[@dragonfly9851]

Where do you buy your dolls?

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Usually just find them second hand at yard sales and ebay.
