The Krampus - Were you naughty this year?... Monster High Doll Figurine

Hi there!
It is a little bit late for a Christmas special video, but I really didn't want to wait with this project for the next year.
So here she is - Krampus inspired doll figurine!
As always I couldn't stop myself from imagining the whole species of those terrifying creatures walking through winter woods, snatching misbehaving kids from their households.... Pretty creepy, right? Well, I hope so :D
I also hope that you will enjoy her process! For me it was a blast!
Thank you for your support, happy New Year and see you soon!

There actually was a Lady Krampus! She punished men that were cruel to their families or thoughtless and rude. :) Your design could absolutely fit right into the mythos.

[@kaijuk]

Wow a female krampus that's awesome I'm going to look into that do you have any links?

[@TheAkwarium]

not a female Krampus, but Frau Perchta (or Frau Holle)

[@void495]

Lady Krampus needs to my father then.

Casually adds " oh yeah, I cut off her head." My husband walked past at that point, look worried then sighed " ahh dolls weirdness." Fab job again 💜💜💜

[@CatmeleonStudio]

[@StitchwyckCreations]

@@CatmeleonStudio haha. My husband calls my crafting desk the corpse rack.

[@EllyseaAndDolls]

@@StitchwyckCreations My friends call my dolls eyes/parts/stuff "the drawers of tiny horrors" and I love that XD They aren't bothered by the full dolls, but as soon as they see parts of a doll they're like "omg a tiny hand... a tiny eye, randomly being there without their body !!! Creepyyyyy"

[@StitchwyckCreations]

[@goblinwithaknife]

I think albinism in nature is absolutely gorgeous! I love it when artists interpret it into their art! Great job!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

I think that too!

[@Bobba_raekus]

A very spooky rendition of the Krampus. Especially the horns turned out very well, I thought. I would probably have wanted to add motted fur hanging from the creature's wrists and tail, but the sleek and naked look makes it more terrifying and alien.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

I figured out that if I put too much hair on her I should probably put some fur on her legs (like a fluff that I put on my B&W unicorn). And I wouldn't be able to shade the legs the way I wanted, so I kept the hair amount at minimum :)

[@raingilkes3502]

Traditionally speaking, the idea of Krampus being a species and not a single being is actually fairly accurate

[@ifga16]

To celebrate your graduation, try a redux of the tooth fairies. This time being very proactive and bloody with their tooth collecting. Claws, sharp pointy things and blood.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Unfortunately I already have concepts ready for another 6months at least XD

[@RhJones]

She’s so pretty and horrifying! I could imagine coming across her feasting in the woods and having to be quiet and flee to safety but the doors of the village remain shut to bad children so she can take her time enjoying her meal. Indoors the parents sit around the lit fireplace hear the screams but they warned the children, what more could they do? At least the good children will enjoy their gifts in the morning.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

That's how I see it too! ^_^

[@WeAreSpeakingUp]

Eeeppp!! So excited to watch this tonight once my kids are in bed so I can relax and hopefully fall asleep right after. I love your work so so much. I also love that you put much of the sculpting process in your videos! Please don't stop doing that. No one leaves a good amount in. It's part of the fun part. Can't wait to see the results tonight! I hope you had a good Christmas (or holiday if you don't celebrate Xmas) and have a beautiful, safe, happy New Year!!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much! I hope you will enjoy the video ^_^ I also wish a happy new year to you and your family!

[@alicecain4851]

Congratulations on getting to your finals! You'll be a great Dental Tech - but I wish you could be a full-time artist. Have you ever sculpted an entire project before? Your "things" may start as dolls, but they transform to magician beings. Your "face-ups" are amazing! No one else makes such immense changes to their sculptures. Ok. I've fangirled (although I'm more like a fan-grandma) enough. Good luck on your finals - you'll do great! Hope between working and life you can still find time for your art. Happy New Year! 💜🎊💜🎉💜🎊💜

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much :) And don't worry. I was working as a dental technician for a while but then my channel started to bloom so I quit (I still have another job, so it was a little bit too much). I will keep my diploma as a "Plan B" :) Being a full time crafter was always my dream after all....

[@kathrynadkisson8964]

I love her! Creepy yet pretty Kramer’s that’s not too much of a succubus. Am I the only one who sees the stand as a peppermint brownie? Perfect for Christmas!

[@galli0]

This looks so good, love the idea of a species of Krampuses?.. Krampi?🥰😁 also you've basically made Mew/Mewtwo with that body 😂 after it was all white I couldn't unsee it 😅

[@WildfireAster]

could be like moose where moose is both singular and plural

[@CatmeleonStudio]

I found the Krampuses version, but also heard someone says it's "Krampi". Hard to tell :P

[@rigby.walabee]

I feel like since romans were the first to celebrate Christmas we should use Krampi as that would be the Roman plural tense

[@Mudgiemama]

Up until today, the Snow Fairy was my favorite. This Krampus is creepily beautiful and I absolutely love her!

[@jenpink4298]

I can’t think of a word that describes creepy and gorgeous at the same time, but that’s what she is! Absolutely stunning

[@alexandraperezdeagreda326]

If it's helpful, there's two (words), which describe that: "Sublime" (literally describing the overwhelming, mixed feeling of "impossibly beautiful horror"), and "Gloomth"... I love using these, as I'm quite "darkly inclined", myself!😅 😈👻💀👾

[@jenpink4298]

@@alexandraperezdeagreda326 Thank you! These are wonderful words

[@SkitSkat674]

Not the nature one I was thinking but I love this. She looks like a candy cane monster to me. All white and red. She looks yummy. 😋

[@kelsiwilson7588]

I love this so much! The red and white reminds me so much of candy canes! I feel like that really adds to the whole Christmas vibe!

[@NamelessLoki]

Damn. Look at her! Creepy and beautiful at the same time. You did an awesome job as always. It makes me happy everytime to see another creative video from you. Have you ever thought about it to create an alien in your style after the franchise? I wish you luck for your exams and a happy new year! :)

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you :) Me and my husband are big fans of Alien so maybe one day I will feel comfortable enough with my skill set to try out this concept :D

[@NamelessLoki]

Yay! I love to hear that! :D

[@Symirai]

I love this rendition of Krampus ☺ the bloody snow was a nice finish, the eyes were really cool with the pupils too 💘

[@sallyannesmith7957]

She is soooooo creepy, she makes me feel so uncomfortable.......I love her! Congratulations on making it to final exams, all the best, I'm sure you'll nail it. Happy new year. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2022.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you!

[@CthulhusDream]

17:57 that would anatomically be the balls of her foot and her ankles are the second bend in her legs, since digitigrade animals (creatures, monsters, etc) technically walk on their tippy toes. Like wearing really really REALLY tall heals.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thanks! That will be a helpful information in my future "faun-like" projects :)

[@adeloot9591]

Another absolutely beautiful creation… and the music you selected to accompany this theme was so appropriate and with a super relevant name…. You have become my favourite KZbin doll customiser… thank you for sharing your incredible talent!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Glad that you liked the music! I am so baaad at picking the music! Was never very musical person... but I'm trying my best! :D

[@torquess454]

LOVE seeing Krampus dolls!! Thx Marzena!! Your version is so cool! Love her eyes!!! The line in her lower jaw reminds me of the movie Blade’s vampire monsters! Your details, again, are incredible 😍 Keep the creepy and bloody coming!! Congratulations on graduating soon!!

[@Vagabondwitchh]

Love her so much, those long limbs and horns are deliciously creepy. This reminds me of that one antique postcard i saw recently, a lady in a black victorian gown was dressed up as krampus and beating up a gentleman. He was held still by a chain. Oh, the holiday cheer!🤣😌 Good luck with exams!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Sounds like Merry Christmas for someone XD

[@amaeve1950]

I like the idea of the albino females and the black male Krampus. They could absolutely be their own species. Incredible as always

[@sevin3887]

This is such a cool and unique take on the Krampus! I love how long and creepy she is, and the double pupils in the eyes look awesome! Good luck on your finals and happy New Year!

It's such a strange contrast. Your dolls are so graceful and elegant, and the concepts are so edgy and harsh. I love it! It gives this weird mix of feelings. The feminine grace mixed with the threat of death, and utter dread.

First off, good luck on the finals and congrats on the upcoming graduation! Secondly, this turned out amazing, just like the others before this. I also love spooky and bloody stuff, i grew up on horror movies so i am thrilled with all the creepy dolls you create. I wish i could have her to sit with me and bless me with creative ideas as i work. Lastly, i hope everyone had a wonderful holiday full of light, laughter and love.
