Nova definition: "a star that suddenly becomes thousands of times brighter and then gradually fades to its original intensity." Well, the name is accurate in more ways than one :3

[@katekonerz5608]

This is still one of my favorite videos on this channel, to be honest. Usually, all the doll artists I see for inspiration create such beautiful projects, but we're all human, so seeing someone mess up is kind of a relief. We all do. I don't know if anyone thinks the same, but personally, I think plastic rhinestones often end up making a doll(or any project for that matter) look cheap. It depends on the project and overall look, of course, but Nova looks a lot better without any of that, not in the hair, not on the clothes

[@HuskyMama1009]

I agree. I am a beader and have become very spoiled using real crystals lol. But, you got to use whatever is available. Nova looks better without the red and less fake crystals. Love Dollightful!!

You have no idea how inspiring it can be to see that your idols struggle the same as you sometimes! Thank you so much for uploading this video the way it is! I don't customize dolls, but I'm a cosplayer, and I have the same problem: sometimes, I plan my costumes so much ahead, that I end up not doing them because I'm scared of encountering problems with it. Sometimes, this is very helpful to see the challenges in the costume ahead of time! And sometimes, I just wing a costume and it turns out perfectly, and sometimes it's a disaster. Again, thank you so much for this video! I think Nova turned out pretty well in the end. As I saw her full body, I couldn't help but think that some kind of small accessory to her head would make her look a little more complete? But that's just my aesthetic! Anyway, I hope you have less stress with your future projects, I love your work!

[@ginger8846]

What I thought would've been a good outfit idea: A sheer, black fabric that's nearly draped over her body, thick enough for modesty, but thin enough to show her celestial beauty. The fabric on her sleeves only comes to the halfway mark on her forearm and it falls down to the ground, dragging behind her like the long train on her dress. It's adorned with it's own galactic sparkle. I know this is a bit of an older video, but hey. I was rewatching it and I started thinking

this was such a refreshing process to be able to witness. i think we tend to see skill in artistry as a straight line upward, and once you get to the "peak" of art, people expect everything you make to look amazing by default. but sometimes, some days the art just isnt arting. its comforting to see a professional on an off day going through failures and endless revisions during a project. not only does it show that no ones perfect, even the perceived-best, but also shows that you can overcome it when something doesnt quite work out. no matter your skill level, we can all learn and improve more.

[@Chezumi]

I actually really like her! But maybe what she's missing is jewellery and accessories? I know she's nude but simple fine chain details in either silver or black (or both!) would potentially bring her completely together? And if you used chain you'd still see the fabulous stars and marbling underneath? She definitely looks better without the red though. I think it was a bit too intense.

[@Dollightful]

Great suggestions, thank you!

[@smexyanimebabe]

I’m glad i’m not the only one who thought of chains!

[@NinaNooneknows]

She's gorgeous! To be honest, the original design was also pretty, but I agree that it didn't quite work and the new colours were so much better. I liked her very first outfit without the fringe though! For the new design, I feel like the stark black of the wings may look just a bit odd, but I can see what you mean by "missing something". While having her nude is a good decision, I feel like some very light clothing (like the first clothes I mentioned) or possibly body jewelry might give her the needed detail! Such as a rhinestone belt and anklets etc. Her hair could also maybe do with some detail, like a small braid or some accessories, but I don't know how fragile it is and the free and natural look is also great. Love your work here either way!

[@heather5199]

A belt and anklets would be a great idea, and idk how much of a hassle it would be, but if she could go over all the stars on her body with glow in the dark paint too that would be amazing to see with the lights off

The jewelry could be glow in the dark. Helll if some of the stars where that could add more as well.

[@holliegould3463]

it would be really really interesting to see this doll happen with her style now! rewatching this is cool cause we've all grown as pll for a bit and the red is very striking!! 🥰

[@melt_brain]

personally, this wasn't a failure. for the stock box series, you are bound to make mistakes, but that's the fun of it. this doll was great! it's beautiful, astronomical, and an overall excellent addition to the stock box series.

[@timmy3485]

I loved the original wig, but the glow in the dark wig gives her a powerful feel.

[@kyrarobinson2725]

Watermelon Friend yes you are right.

[@daynahcruz8602]

You should make the stars of her body glow in the dark too. Maybe add glitter to her hair that once you turn the lights off would look like dark spots in her hair. She looks great without a costume. The staff looks more like it belongs to a magical girl than a goddess (the small wings attached to it make it seem kind of childish?). Your work is great whatsoever. Mistakes make you grow.

[@Dollightful]

I love those ideas! Thank you :D

[@dangozen590]

This is actually my favorite of your repaints

[@emilymckenna4536]

I think this doll is one of my favourites, I love the way she turned out. I also love that this video was still posted - very reassuring to amateur artists like myself.

[@opxlsky_]

You are the first KZbinr my kitty Tenshi liked. She is not easily impressed. Congratulations.

[@biancamikus4325]

Are you my first you tuber cookie swerl c😱😘

[@moonshinestudios953]

Bianca Mikus thats not cookie swirl c.. XD

[@Stereo6400]

Hello CookieX3 my cat isn’t impressed by ANYTHING. if she is, she doesn’t show it. Because, Ya know, She’s gotta be cool all the time.

[@opxlsky_]

FyreForce 1600 // can relate

[@opxlsky_]

Bianca Mikus // no... I get this question more often than you’d think actually 😂

[@Pickletape]

Yeah since I was a kid I always thought that molded panty looked really weird on my dolls, the texture was interesting to touch I guess but it just was weird and I wondered why they didn’t use cloth panties

[@LysedOrange]

My mum thought that too but I never thought about it

[@aliai1801]

I think it because it took more times and doll clothes are hard to make I do have a doll with cloth panties but the doll was quite expensive

[@fuzz_exe6605]

Abbie Gacha I know!!!!What was the factory thinking!?!?!?!?"Let's be modest for only the girls and only cover the pee hole.How is that idea?"I LOVE IT!!!!NO COVER FOR THE BREASTS!!!!😸😹😾

[@poisonmilkshake4563]

Death_ _Potato dolls are the reason that made me lesbian

[@summerdarcey6307]

I think it’s so they avoid moulding details but retain some « realism » Mostly I think it’s just conservative parents didn’t want their kids to have naked dolls But they don’t have any detailing in the top? Idk

[@Luna-ft8yh]

I'm so glad you fixed the colour palette mistake, the first doll was just a monstrous disaster with potential and you've really made her potential glow up🤗

[@fatechance8778]

Gah! Four years ago? Now I feel sort of old! But nonetheless, I loved Nova when you created her and I still love her to this day, I’ve rewatched this video at least 4 or 5 times and it never gets old!

[@sonne177]

use the glow in the dark paint for the stars on her body too ♥ I really like the finish look tho

[@rubyblack6682]

The second “belly dancer” outfit was the best imo

[@kittenmitten9430]

Aw Katherine, I'm so glad you decided to upload this video! Loads of people have said this already, but it's so so cool that you acknowledge and own your mistakes (and don't drag yourself too terribly about it). I'm really impressed at your perseverance with Nova and I'm glad you were able to make her work eventually. Thank you for your honesty about the creative process, imo it just makes you even cooler and more admirable as an artist

[@stuchly1]

This was so valuable and so insightful, I loved seeing the process and the final result was so much better!

[@hellsbestghoulz2084]

YOU SHOULD MAKE A BELLYDANCER DOLL NOW! IT WOULD BE PUURRFECT SAYING YOU ALREADY PRETTY MUCH HAVE AN IDEA!

[@curtwalker8218]

YEAH

[@AkiraAlexisSoyra]

🌹

[@kayla71]

I love how you you showed that even very talented and professional artist mess up to it's important for people to understand that because even what KZbinrs don't show doesn't mean that they never messed up cuz I used to always get frustrated when I would mess up a project and my mom would have to remind me before actually post the video.

[@Levi_The_One_The_Only]

Coming back to this video 3 years later and ngl I REALLY like the red at the beginning now 😳 I think it makes the doll so much more interesting!!

[@genesisofthebetween]

"Great Celestial Pikachu!" Some day, KZbin is going to kill me.

[@Smene2346]

She protect she attack but most importantly she has Pikachu on her back

[@tyrrellschip7767]

youshould have a two-coloured eye doll. it would look powerful and cool (prob)

[@rounddcat]

jolteon!! hes kinda half blind but it still counts!

[@cosmodusty]

Its called being heterochromatic, just a fun fact.

[@lunadevil4258]

Yes, yes it would

[@mywigflewallthewaytoneptun1276]

I have that it’s heterochromia

[@lunadevil4258]

@@mywigflewallthewaytoneptun1276 same but mine is very very hard to notice bc it's the same color but a different shade

[@birdiedeines2299]

it would be cool if her staff glowed and the constellations did too. that way she would give off that mysterious magic galaxy feeling

[@jamesbuckingham7765]

Honestly it makes me fell soooo much better to see you mess up! It's awesome to see that even amazing artists don't like their work and mess up from time to time! It make me fell better about all my falled projects

[@deadfoxx3485]

I JUST WANT TO WAYCH THIS VIDEO, Every time she's painting and stuff I fall asleep?!?!?!. I need to stop falling asleep because I want to watch the video, it's happened twice now

[@BigSkalbagge]

I would love it, if the stars would be also glowing in the dark. I am not sure though, if the gow in the dark paint will be gloing enough with tiny dots. Watching this process of you trying over and checking your doll after a couple of days is great!! Sometimes the work needs some mistakes to end up being really awesome. I am grateful that you posted this. Still thinking that some laced heels would look good on her. And I liked the comment from "Foxymoron's Garden" about painting on stars as an outfit.

[@evilpixieofdoom]

I was just thinking that glow in the dark stars would make her look really cool in the dark

[@gabbiesiderski8667]

I think the stars should be glow in the dark too

[@marhasy]

One more vote for glowing stars. Darkness already makes her look more mysterious and not from this planet and glowing dots will look fantastic.

[@sallysuggs2356]

I also thought glow in the dark stars!

[@Soupserved]

Nova is actually one of my favorite dolls of hers. I love how much work she puts into her art. For me, it’s really hard to come back to failing projects. But I was really impressed and proud that she kept working on it.

[@MelanaC]

This is one of my favourite videos if I’m feeling bad about failed projects or problems in my artwork....! This video gives me hope and faith that with some hard work it will be ok 🎨💜🥰

[@dollightfullyamazing]

I looooooove this video because it prooves that no one is perfect, and that chaos will live forever
