Spectra is such a unique doll with her chiselled face sculpt and the translucent hands, and I think you absolutely did her justice!

[@AlmostOtaku7]

I always thought the chains represented her spirit being 'chained' or tethered to this world and her inability to pass on when she died. This version of her feels both warmer and more sorrowful, and I love that combination. It's always wonderful to see you post

[@sebakisniesebakisnie6109]

chains are also just a very common prop for ghosts, and ghosts scaring people by rattling chains are staples in fiction, espexially urban legends regarding old prisons and such, i love how the original spectra used balls on chains as heels for her shoes!

[@yiksslol509]

When i was younger i thought that she was some type of princess and she died chained in a tower or something so her ghost form got the chains from that LOL

[@shorp-c5z]

@@yiksslol509 that’s brutal D:

[@monbub]

@@yiksslol509 damn

[@BrokenDollyBoy]

I remember watching the one MH movie that was about ghosts and I'm pretty sure the chains represent regrets and self hate

[@LadyAhro]

Her makeup and styling is exceptional and now I'm dying to see you do Elissabat in a similarly romantic gothic style

[@cheyenneblack817]

Yes!!!!! I'd love to see that!

[@gingerdog8203]

This is nottt gothic. Imo this is dark lolita

[@rayvv1601]

THIS!!!

[@LadyAhro]

@@gingerdog8203 Yeah and what's the normal word for that.. Yes, Gothic Lolita. Note how I didn't specifically say Romantic goth, though in hindsight I wish I had. I'd meant to put a comma between romantic and Gothic as they're separate, adjacent descriptors.

[@eusounadja5738]

@@gingerdog8203that’s not lolita

[@jeannel3207]

She looks like a Victorian-era teenager who became a ghost and adapted her clothes to the modern era as well as she could 😍 She's so beautiful! As an aside, I discovered your revamp series a few months ago, and although I don't have any nostalgia related to the Monster High doll line, it has become one of my favourite video series to decompress and be inspired by, the level of dedication you have for your craft makes me want to work on my own crafts and art projects ☺️

[@mallorytrizisky211]

i know you said you struggled with the outfit but oh my goodness its stunning. im so beyond happy with how she turned out just so stunning

[@wallewonks]

I usually don’t like to dress feminine, but I would LOVE to have that dress in a human size 😻

[@austinmurray3234]

This was my most anticipated restyle of this series and you didn’t disappoint I love her amazing work

[@Galena949]

Spectra's revamp turned out STUNNING. I love the sorrowful, longing look and dress. I personally would have done big chonky pigtail curls for her hair, but that's just me. She turned out great. The chains added a nice touch of contrast to all that purple.

[@maddie2989]

oh my goodness she looks amazing! I love how your revamps don't completely change the character but rather expand upon what was already there. It shows that you have a true love for the characters, and as a huge MH fan I really appreciate it. As for season 2 of your series there are so many ghouls it's hard to choose. I would love to see your revamp of toralei, venus, rebecca, or operetta. I think it would also be cool to see a revamp of one of the guys like deuce or clawd(but I also understand that the guys are harder to come across and aren't for everyone). Regardless of what characters you choose for season 2 I am super super super excited!!!

[@cloud.nebula7928]

Oh my gosh I love her new look. It’s amazing how all the elements look together. I love her hair and dress. The chains look great. This is my favorite series and I hope you do more.

[@m_el13]

I also think the lose hips fit her really well, since she is a ghost it kinda represents how she moves

[@hundjunge21]

I’m glad to see you’re back with the customization and chill vibes! Venus McFlytrap has always been a fave of mine I would love to see revamped.

[@m_el13]

I cant believe im this early!! I really love Spectra, the way you revamped her is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful! Keep up the nice work!

[@sapphirejade5029]

Totally agree with ya! I looked up to her to build confidence during school.😅

[@Etombs974]

She’s gorgeous! Her face looks so sorrowful, and I noticed in all the shots of her she never seems to be looking right at the camera due to her eye pose and I think that’s such a cool effect! If I had to die and haunt a high school for all eternity, I might be a little less sad if I looked as pretty as her!

[@hildachurl]

Wow! As a big fan of spectra this is incredible! The emotion in her face tells a great story about a melancholic ghost just as it should! And the clothing choice makes her seem more like she died in a historical era, maybe the Victorian era, while still being as fashionable as the rest of the ghouls. And aside from her character details, she just looks gorgeous! The purples are amazing and her hairstyle is so unique and perfect 😍 In love with this doll!

[@midnight195]

Spectra has always been a favorite of mine since I was little, and I love how she looks, so breathtaking. The dress is adorable and I love her hair, you did a fantastic job

[@bdeedrick445]

for as much trouble as the eyes gave you, I think the faceup turned out great :’) this is probably my favorite doll of the series so far, next to Frankie 👻

[@claracatlady9844]

Yayyyyy I’m so happy to see the series continue. She is beautiful! Rochelle, Venus Flytrap next maybe?

[@sapphirejade5029]

The funny thing is that Spectra was one of my favorite characters since she did so much content in writing. I was a kid back then, and I'm absolutely happy you did her so much. Years later, I'm writing tales that have such vivid imagination. If Spectra were real and all grown, she'd definitely gossip about any amazing books she's come across from time to time.😆 Her tails are so cute and love the clothing! Hope you continue the series! If you want, do Toralei or Twyla?😁

[@k_imcuc]

im dying to see you customize your favourite dolls - you have an incredible eye for detail and your sorrowful and glassy face ups give monster high dolls an iconic second life !!!

[@nemashan3701]

i loveee this revamp of spectra! the way you did her face up is so interesting! with her expression, any position you angle her head gives a new emotion. i also like her outfit- i find it similar to elissabat, who has a similar color scheme

[@fisk-hollow]

I love that you try something and aren't afraid to re-do things if you aren't happy, but then at the same time accept that you can't always get things perfect or a hundred percent what you envisioned. It really helped me in my creative process! Also the colors for this doll are fantastic and so beautiful!

[@mihha_jones]

I love her omg !!! I think you definitely got the Vivienne Westwood vibes to a T, especially with the stockings/socks- shes perfect. Id really love to see you revamp Robecca next! You’d definitely have fun with the steampunk vibe 🥰

[@aquariasketches2147]

Omg she turned out so beautiful. There is something haunting (pun intented lol) and enchanting about your redesign and I absolutely love it~ I would love to see redesigns of Twyla, Rochelle, Robecca or Operetta~

[@Delphini_Zucchini]

Yessss! Operetta and Robecca are my absolute favourites!

[@motherendurance]

Honestly, this may be the most beautiful face-up I have ever seen...not just from you but from anyone. Wow. Just wow.

[@margueritte_not]

She looks gorgeous. I've always loved how you do faces with the watercolour pencils as they turn out very soft and ethereal-looking.

[@katerina.h3]

She is so stunning 😍 I would love to see a Twyla !

[@mayalienv5898]

spectra has always been my favorite! and i thought her original outfit wasn’t really true to her in the series, but you did it sooo well! and i love her face up! she looks sad but beautiful ! i love what you did! was 100% worth the wait

[@larkyparky5688]

I love this version of Spectra! I feel like having to stay in high school for all eternity is so hard on her, so she does her gossip website as a way to entertain herself.

[@lord_of_crabs]

the love and care that you put into this doll together with the tranquility of the video is something i really needed for my artistic processes, thank you

[@MrIljuha2000]

Wake up babe, new etellan video just dropped

[@firegodessreiko]

She looks so beautifully tragic! And, I love her very 'regular' dress....it looks incredible! You did a very good job in spite of all your struggles. I have no personal investment in the original design, so it's definitely an improvement from my point of view. This has been a very fun series~

[@pengolddraws]

I think this is my favorite revamp so far!!! She’s so cute I love her!! I honestly would love if you did Twyla!!

[@roiblack8587]

Such an amazing doll. The expression on her face, the color scheme, the dress. So ethereal and gentle. I love it.

[@GERARDWAYFR]

YOURE BACK IM GLAD!

[@elkebaier9028]

I love all of your revamped dolls, but this one is soooo beautiful, her sad face with these wonderful blue eyes, her dress with the chains, her hair, everything is amazing! Please, go on with the revamping!💜💜💜💜💜

[@thatdarnspooker63]

AHHHHH!!! IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND SHARING YOUR VIDEOS 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Voirreydirector]

Just wonderful, darling. What struck me most about this doll when she came out was that the invisible quality of the hands was a wasted detail, they just didn’t stand out with all that standard busy contrast. Your muted tones and iridescent shadows bring the hands out as if they were glass! Her facial features also make more sense now, instead of the eye makeup fighting the mold. Way to go!

[@lansithink]

spectra was my first ever monster high doll I got when I was a kid. This was truly amazing to watch her come to life again.

[@maddielouwho]

I am so in awe right now. Her face is just…wow. So stunningly sad and resigned. You really kept her essence but was still able to make it your own

[@bdluejay]

i adore the finished hair, but at 12:36 the way the hair is standing up all over is so cool looking, like a poltergeist! the faceup is the most stunning part, you pulled off the distant, sad look so well. her eyes really are haunting

[@werewolfhours]

Out of all your revamps so far, she is my favorite! Her expression, hair, and clothes, UGH!!!! I am obsessed with her!!!

[@idislikelife8473]

Seeing the Spectra doll's head with pins sticking out really made me want like a Voodoo doll type of character from Monster High. Maybe they have a headpiece that look like pins poking out of their head like the ones seen in this video. I'm not a big enough fan of Monster High to know all the characters, so I'm not sure if there's already a Voodoo doll character.

[@thanosisinthecloset5139]

There’s actually a doll/ character that represents a voodoo doll, but it is a boy AND imo he looks nothing like the idea you had !! would be cute to custom a girlfriend for him lol considering his backstory

[@gracewademoser1250]

I kept checking your page to see if I missed a new video. So happy to see a new work. She is absolutely beautiful. I love the way you bring life to her cold dead eyes.

[@dandelionfieldss]

I love her outfit and makeup! It's a perfect blend of vintage and modern. Her new face accentuates her facemold so well (for example, her cheekbones look more pronounced) I also love how you made her hair into braids so it wouldn't blend in with the rest of her outfit!

[@haleylavrack6180]

Spectra was my favorite character from Monster High and this redesign is everything, its so stunning, and I love the chains

[@lunadreamystrz7875]

Spectra was my first and only monster high doll, I lost her body parts over the years and was pretty sad.. but I remember getting her for Christmas at my grandparents and being so excited! Fun times..

[@lucies804]

Your work is always beautiful but this time the finished product almost made me cry. The time you spent struggling with her outfit was truly worth it. You put so much love and passion into your work and it’s incredible every time.

[@paisleykitty7]

She turned out fantastic. Her face up is stunning.

[@mugiwaerouma]

This one looks really cool. Oddly enough, I kind of vibed when here eyes were primarily white. It looked haunting. However, the end result was pretty amazing too!

[@tor8805]

You are hands down my favorite doll customizer. Your dolls are simply stunning, your aesthetic is beautiful and your voice is incredibly calming. Thank you for these videos ❤

[@PastelPixie32]

You did a solendiferous job, while I love the braids I feel a wolf cut would look so good with her two tone hair but that's just me. Gorgeous doll, wonderful job.

[@4and20blackbirds]

a BASIC dress? girl the way i gasped thank you for sharing your talent with us 🖤

[@invaderbeccal.3908]

Oh wow! Her eyes are so eerily STUNNING! Her outfit and shoes are gorgeous! So pretty! I always am in awe on the eyes you do, they always look LIFELIKE, absolutely gorgeous

[@MzRecey]

This doll as with many others is exquisite. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon your repaints. You are very inspirational.

[@adminanubis7815]

Watching you build up color values on your face-ups is always a treat, and as an avid Vivienne Westwood fan you did a GREAT job emulating her tartan usage 🖤🖤

[@novadearest]

She's absolutely STUNNING like this!! The clothes you chose and created are simply beautiful and tie the character together very well! I'm obsessed with her beautiful and sorrowful expression, the way you captured that sort of "wetness" in her sad eyes is so delicately done ❤

[@andymorgade7137]

She is so gorgeous! I'm in love! Spectra has been always my favorite Monster High doll, so tragic and elegant

[@Civilization200]

Какая же она красивая! Эти фиолетовые цвета, это грустное, задумчивое лицо и волшебные светящиеся глаза. Невероятно!

[@donutcatthethird5578]

I cannot get over how unbelievably gorgeous your revamps always are, you did such an incredible job!

[@RainstormCreations]

Just finished a rewatch through all of your revamps, they've all been so wonderful to re-watch! I adore the thought and detail you put into revamping each character in your style and love how much you think about their personalities and individual styles and make sure to put that into the dolls. I hope you're well!!

[@Pandie2828]

Oh my gosh I'm so glad I gave this series a second chance. The first time through I had to must nostalgia keeping me from enjoying the new designs but Spectra looks amazing!

[@louisebrown3121]

She's beautiful. I love this series. Her dress and her eyes are my favorite parts

[@lamp7641]

She came out gorgeous! I especially love the slightly warmer color palette and the way the hair frames her face ^^

[@kayliejoey]

etellan, she is my favorite remake so far!!! her face up is so hauntingly beautiful, I love how you kept the blushing to the eyes and lips - her eyes are absolutely stunning and her dress is beautiful!! all your hard work definitely paid off ❤

[@Rowan.Evander]

This might be my favorite of the series so far. I'm in love with her faceup (those eyes!!), her hair, the dress---stunning work. 💜

[@TheTeheTinkleMonster]

Amazing job 💙💞

[@green.5660]

I THINK OPERETTA WOULD BE SO BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR STYLE!!

[@ruebixcube]

i’d love to see operetta revamped, i think she’s a really interesting character with such a unique style and i’m interested to see your take on her

[@bluwuboi]

the end product is sooo pretty, the colors are gorgeous and I love how her make up and hair turned out

[@gracemiller8362]

As much as I love the monster high dolls and even all the movies and shows, I do feel like the older dolls hold a more mature air to them. Whenever I watch your revamp videos, I feel like you give them that child like feel to them. As if they really were in a high school.

[@CL0UDY_TWILIGHT]

I love the Monster High revamp series, it is amazing, and although Spectra isn't quite the same, with warmer colors and less blue/indigo + more purples, it is still a very welcome revamp!! I love the style in which you paint, it is gorgeous, and I really admire your creativity!!

[@Whoeveryoubelievemeto_Bee]

I don't know if this is just me, but watching others create art with their own uniqe media makes me want to get up and paint. This doll is beautiful, and seeing your process is quite inspiring!

[@clownpieceenjoyer5439]

MY GODDDD SHE LOOKS AWESOME! eating a warm meal while watching a video from my favorite youtuber was a form of self care i didn't know i needed. I love her outfit, it really gives off the vibe of a girl who died in the 1800s but is obsessed with current ceuntry media, has punk vibes and victorian vibes all at the same time; you treated her well!! here's hopin you do Rochelle or Venus next

[@beexcellenttoeachother1763]

Beautiful, just beautiful. Her eyes… the way you’ve painted them makes them look like they’re glowing and gives her so much life (ironic for a ghost doll I suppose). She really does look stunning and her dress is so well made. You should be so proud of your work. Hope you’re well!

[@hello_lydie]

Romans used chains on corpses to keep the spirits from wandering. Others believe it's a representation of the barbaric deeds of our ancestors, and still others think it to be a form of punishment for sins committed in life ( greed, lust, vanity, pride, etc). They all sound pretty grim to me, but Spectra is my favorite Monster high doll, so I'm very happy to see that you repaired and used this lovely little lady. You gave her life after death, if you will. ❤

[@littlemissrandom6697]

Omg you really gave her a glow up you can really see all the hard work you put into this doll and I love her new look😍🤩

[@stevesbouvier9900]

she might just be my favourite of the series so far! amazingly done! 😍🤩

[@Finnectriescosplay]

I am always so amazed by how beautiful your faceups are. It’s really inspiring for me as a portrait painter. It’s also the reason I started watching your channel. I saw the thumbnail of one of your older videos some time back and I couldn’t resist. The reason I continued watching was because how calming your videos are and how gorgeous your art is. Really excited to see a new video. Love from Norway

[@ScarMoonYT]

When the world needed her most, she has returned!

[@lulubella1320]

First of all, she's drop dead gore-geous! I love the shade of purple you went with and the style of the dress! As far as next characters I'd like to see, I'd really be interested in seeing you do a manster? Deuce or Clawd? Ghouls-wise, I'd love to see Rochelle, Venus, or Operetta! Glad to see you back again and hope all is well~

[@ma_lu]

I marathoned all your videos, what you do with the dolls is so beautiful, you can see the affection you have with them, I've never seen anyone repaint a doll like that, they look so beautiful, you are very talented, and your voice it's so sweet, that's why I love your videos, kisses from Brazil and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves.💖💐

[@DaisyStalls]

I love this You managed to create such soft, beautiful eyes, and when I saw her dress I was thinking you should have designed all of the clothing for this series, it looks so good!💜 It would be really cool to see you revamp Toralei, Pursephone and Meowlody at some point!

[@9401maru]

I always find weird the texture of acrylic yarn for hair, but GOD every single one of your designs are such a work of art I don't even care about the yarn. You can wrap me in yarn and and use as a weird ass décor, idk, but I'm just such a fan of your work... I'm glad you're back

[@sophiapsyche]

The revamp was so lovely but omg that dress!!!! It is gorgeous, I wish there was a version available to buy and wear for myself lol you did such a wonderful job with her outfit! Spectra, Draculaura, Abbey, and Cleo were my favorites when I had the dolls and I am so happy to see them all revamped in such a unique way!

[@nikinichole5922]

Her eyes are absolutely beautiful they look like your Midsommars doll eyes. i love this doll she was always my favorite of the series you absolutely out done yourself ❤❤

[@camimila0556]

Really, I love this doll, she's so beautiful. I think that she's my favorite doll now, at the moment ✨️

[@lillight3301]

Your videos are always worth the wait! She is stunning, life is treating me crap this year but your videos always bring me comfort!

[@thedevilsmuse]

I can't tell if I just prefer this doll's design in general or not but I think this my favorite redesign of yours yet, her face came out soooo nicely

[@channaryblue7060]

She’s so perfect!! I’ve been waiting for you to post again lol, this is my favorite series you’ve done! The custom clothes are sooooo gorgeous, I’m curious to see what Venus and Robecca would look like

[@Amirajhassani]

She is looking so pretty i think I’m in love ❤ she was my fav ghoul aesthetically during my childhood, so I’m simply enchanted by this redesign 🥹❤️❤️

[@riverr_ex]

oh this is lovely- her face and whole demeanor makes it seem like shes mourning, perhaps for herself? either way, incredible

[@TheGirlscoutkooki]

THIS IS AMAZING! spectra was and is my favorite monster high ever, and I think that's because her face mold looks like me. She looks PHENOMENAL how you have redesigned her. I love her so much! I would buy her if I could!! great job, she's gorgeous!

[@alexlamia9946]

She’s beautiful! I’m in love with her colors and her dress. Her dress is stunning!

[@Trash_Child]

She looks so beautiful!! I'd love tonsee how you would go about remaking Venus mcfly. Her colourscheme is so bold and her design so unique!

[@lvlonegoblin]

I get so excite when I see you uploaded that I instantly click! love how you've re-designed Spectra. I have my favorites when it comes to MH (Frankie and Draculaura) but with your redesigns I seriously couldn't pick a favorite!
