Catmeleon: Mentions her doll having an angry look. Catmeleon: Drills hole in butt and sticks a wire in it. Me: As someone who had to endure a colonoscopy... Gurl I'd be angry tooooo!!!!! 😂😂😂

I can’t believe this is just your first doll repaint! Wow! You go, young miss. I hope you keep doing this type of work for a long time, you have a whole lot of potential

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you! ^_^ I have some experience in making outfits for cosplays and photoshoots.... but working with dolls and in such a tiny scale is waaaay beyound my comfort zone :D But I just love learning new things and it is such a creative medium! Doll customizing is my new addiction now :D

[@roo9378]

I love how happy you sound making her. She’s super cool and turned out great. You nailed the angry look too! (Semiclosed eyelids could also be used to convey angry) but I love the look of angry she has.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

That is a great tip! I will try it next time definitely :) Thank you for your comment and I am so happy that you like her!

[@cattan4696]

I've just started my 1st custom, so of course I came to KZbin for inspiration and tips. I've watched a lot of very talented folk doing MH customs, and you may be new Catmeleon, but you're definitely one of the best. Please keep on doing what you do. I aspire to be as good as you!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

That is soooooo nice of you! ^_^ Thank you

Oh my gosh!! YOU SAID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!! This chic is freaking phenomenal!! Mind-blown PcKrrrr!! 💣

[@dinosaurs493]

My god- absolutely beautiful- she did such a good job thoughhh Tips- • always draw out where you want things, cus it’ll bite you it the butt if you don’t • Try making reference art, even if you can’t draw well (I personally think you’d be great but you never know) anyways, reference art helps with planning and such :)

Thank you 😊 In fact I had a concept sketch for this girl, but I wandered far away from it in the end 😜

[@sumo0172]

Wow! Your first attempt and it is still very good. I am glad you took this first step and that you shared it. It can be very scary starting a new venture. And even scarier to share it with the world. You have definitely grown and improved. Every journey starts somewhere and this was a very nice start

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you! I wanted to make a channel for everyone to join me on this journey from where it started :) All the new lessons, mistakes, new materials and techniques. I wanted to show people that everyone started somewhere aaaaaand one day I will sit and watch how far I've come :)

[@pogostix6097]

It's fascinating going to your first video after watching your more recent ones, and seeing how your methods and techniques have evolved. Your first doll arguably went a lot better than mine! I do love my doll, but she's a constant work in progress... always things to fix. I have much more fun making clothes for dolls than modifying dolls, turns out. I also learned the hard way that not all water color pencils are created equal. Mine were terrible, just scratched the MSC right off.

Happy New Year for you too! :) I am so glad you like my dolls :) I am personally not really into collecting dolls as toys, more like figurines, so I want to make mine also like a "doll-sculptures :) I'm especially inspired by earthtolylah and dollumentary :) Their figurines are wonderful

Better than anything I would be able to do. I particularly like how you tell us when you have messed it up, don't like something, and give us a basic play by play of what you are doing. Loved your idea and the execution is wonderful. I'm going to enjoy this channel. Now on to your the next video!
