The Hornet Fairy - it's a BOY!!! My first fully male doll repaint - Monster High OOAK Doll Figurine 

All hail the Hornet King! :D

Cute and beautiful doesn't fit this particular character, that's all :D Glad that you like him ^_^

Love the pfp

They will be inseparable from now on :D

I totally agree :) I really love the Bug King from the Strange Magic movie and he was far from being a Prince Charming :D

This comment made me happy and I get what you mean. Sadly, male dolls are VERY hard to find. I always get excited when I see artist using the male dolls to make stuff like this.

Yes, male dolls are harder to get. I have two big boxes of dolls and only few of them are boys :/ There’s also a thing that male customs are way less popular among viewers. The videos of female dolls just perform better and that is visible. Unfortunately the content creators need to think about views, especially if YT is their main source of income. I personally prefer female figurines when it comes to both watching and creating. But I am also all about not making similar stuff over and over so I am sure that I will try to make a male custom from time to time :) For refreshing my imagination ^_^ and also for viewers like you ^_^

Cause when I blow the dust away, sometimes I accidentally spit on the face XD No one wants to watch that! XD

Thank you :) Monster High boys have the weirdest faces :D But they can be great for some not-as-classically handsome characters :)

I agree :) But I also get why they are less popular. The base dolls are harder to get and the videos are performing way worse than female customs. The same thing I saw in female and male photography. I guess we can say, that majority of people, no matter the gender and sexuality, definitely enjoy watching female body more than male :P But I still think the boys needs some attention too and it was a nice change for me :)

Maybe in the future :)

Thank you :) I hope that your day will be only better from now on!

Thank you so much! So happy that you like this guy ^_^ I LOOOVE Gaiman works and Sandman comics. And I am afraid that this is what ruined the show for me (only watched two episodes). I bet I would love it if I wouldn't read and cherished the novels, but I am just so bad with changes XD But at least they made the show a real eye-candy, that I must say :)

A dziękuję bardzo :) Fajnie było, ale cieszę się, że rodzinka już w komplecie :D

I have already made a Bee Fairy, so enough with the bees XD So happy that you like this dude! ^_^

Awesome!

I feel about my fairies more like about animal creatures, not humans, so I don't think they can change their gender :D But sure, that is one way of thinking about it :P

@@CatmeleonStudio Clown fish who change genders depending on their environment: 🤡

@@CatmeleonStudio “changing gender” isn’t exactly the best wording, but there are plenty of trans animals

It fills me with the joy to know that some people still say doohickey.

There's some really cool moths out there too. 🙂

over 12,000 known species of ants to choose from... and that's just ants!

@@Sarappreciates Too true! The possibilities are endless!

he reminds me of a yellow jacket. they've invaded my backyard this year, and my dog is trying to wage war against them.

Thank you so much! ^_^ I will work hard so you don't have to wait for my next doll as long as for this one ^_^

I’d LOVE to see this

Thinking about it so maybe in the future :)

That's definitely a very handy thing :) Very quick way to get many, many yarn strands of the same length ^_^

@@CatmeleonStudio I'm definitely using this with my next custom!

Oh wow, thank you so much! ^_^

Thank you! ^_^ And yeah, what has been seen, cannot be unseen - sorry for that XD I do enjoy making pretty girls and tough-looking boys... but maybe in the future I will challenge myself with some changes :)

Because most dolls are girls sadly 😭 I wish we had just a whole line of good man dolls for once. Like I love girl dolls but man dolls barely get anything good, they’re usually just treated as accessories to girl dolls 😭 And they’re barely articulated (Ken dolls) I want a line of guy dolls that’s varied in body types and sizes and skin tones with articulation and such 🥺

@@KingOfGaymes that idea wluld be so cool! Or a MH linr of male doll characters 😆

OMG I love the idea of a male beta merman.

That sounds so fierce! I love it!

So happy that you like them all! :) Thank you!

I do finally have some more time for my crafting, so I really hope that long-waiting days are over :D

Happy to hear that :D Glad you like it despite the phobia! I have shivers when I see those big mosquito-like insects with dangling looooooooong legs :O Brrrrr

Maybe in the future :) Definitely not "next" though :P I have a schedule filled up until March XD But I hope that you will still enjoy what is coming ;)

Hmmmmm..... peeing while standing! :D Kidding :P There all all sorts of things in witch I suck ^_^ But, luckily, learning is fun :D Thank you and I am so happy you like my creations :) My imagination is still full of characters that I want to show you, so no worries - there's more where it came from :D

p.s. The hornet was gathering material for the nest, not eating. :) Just fyi, I watch a youtube channel called the Hornet King haha!

Thanks :) I have some in plans for the future :)

XD Dzięki XD

Happy to hear that, cause I was rethinking the hair choice during this project, but decided to leave it :)

This series is on :D I have a few designs ready, just waiting for their turn in my busy schedule :) So be patient :)

Even my mom woke me up today with a phone call, to tell me that I should make a spider.... So I will probably... one day :P I am happy to have you here, no matter for how long ^_^

Thank you! That is so nice to hear :) Mistakes are part of the learning process and learning is fun ^_^

Even those this group is done on my channel, I am still exploring the insects kingdom for more fairy-inspirations ^_^ So there’s a big chance that you will see some of those in the future :) My Fairies series is far from ofer ^_^

Wow, fantastic works on this wasp fella. Love the wasp / bee collection photo at the end as well as the actual wasp clip

At the end, think you did an awesome job with this! Really loved the shading/gradient effect you did, and facial structure was awesome. Stand was killer, and it was also really cool at the end seeing visual similarities and differences within your yellow-and-black lineup. Feels like bee and wasp are linked because of both being a cooler/more greenish yellow while bumble bee and hornet are warmer/more orange-y yellow, but the silhouettes and use of anatomy are closer between hornet and wasp. Plus bee/bumble bee as the two cuter dolls being linked in body types, textures, and facial features and all. I think this really showcased your abilities as a designer not only for individual dolls, but to be able to create a lineup that would feel cohesive while making sure every figure still stands out. Awesome job! Thank you so much for sharing and wishing you tons of inspiration! ^^

Thank you so much! I spend a lot of time brainstorming a design, to be sure that it will be cohesive with the group, but still different than previous members of it. So I am happy that it is appreciated ^_^ For the male dolls. I didn't mean in the video that with a male doll there's no pressure to make a doll to be beautiful. I mean that about this specific doll. The Hornet Fairy doesn't need to be pretty, so I didn't make such a design for him :) I am perfectly aware that I could make a design of a handsome man and the pressure will be there, despite gender (I will make that kind of design in the future, I am sure). Or that I could make a female doll looking creepy and hideous. This I don't think I would do... it is just a part of my style, to at least try to make my girls pretty :P). The creepiness in the contrast not in the face :) People are still saying that this dude turned out handsome, so I guess it is stronger than me though XD

@@CatmeleonStudio No problem! It’s always exciting seeing the level of thought and technique you put into your dolls! :D Spotting how you did the group designs was really cool, and you deserve major kudos for it I think. Not everyone knows how to do that! Also fair fair on male dolls and beauty. Sometimes it’s fun to just go creepy, grotesque, or gross in art. Like 'THIS TERRIFIES AND UPSETS ME I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND AND FEEL TERRIFIED/UPSET BY IT TOO' lol. I know the hairs on hornet fairy’s hump definitely captured that D8 feeling I get from bugs! So while he was still handsome (I think) he was definitely more creepy-handsome. Wasn’t sure in the moment whether your beauty comments were a general approach to male designs or just this doll specifically, so appreciate the clarification! I’ve learned not to assume people share my frame of reference (ex. friends offline have been confused by male models) so what I mentioned was in that spirit. Basically whatever you choose to do I hope you have a lot of fun and feel excited for the possibilities. ^^ On the hornet fairy still being called handsome even though you weren’t trying, for what it’s worth I don’t think that’s a bad thing. It seems like you have an innate sense of aesthetics and are great at exploring it whether in creepy/scary art or something more traditionally beautiful. So while it might be a funny challenge to see how far you can push a design before people get pure-horror reactions, there’s no need to pressure yourself that way either. Whatever makes you feel happy and fulfilled as an artist!

Aaaw, thank you for saying that :)

Mud dauber would be horrifying and awesome to see!

Thank you! so happy to hear that ^_^ I may think about some snaily fellas in the future :) Who knows :)

a snail man... *junji ito uzumaki flashbacks*

That is a pretty great coincidence :)

Happy to hear that! :) Always really good to know that people appreciate my design choices :)

It is always so cool to read your stories ^_^ Thank you and, hopefully, see you soon!

@@CatmeleonStudio Yw, I'm really happy you love my stories, & don't worry I'm always subscribed to your channel.☺

I've never seen a mantis in Poland... Maybe Silesia is not the best place for them :D

:D Thank you for that compliment :D That means that I did good XD They are destroying my parents trees too. Once they made a nest under the roof in my family house, when I was still living with my parents. They were coming inside the house through the bathroom's vent. They were huge (like 2inches - 5cm). They were landing on the floor and you needed to be very careful not to step on one, barefoot in the morning. We needed to put a net in the vent so they won't come in (we were afraid about our cats catching those). Not a big fan of a hornets since then :P

Thank you :) This technique for making the wings is quite easy :) I wonder why I am the only one who is using it :D

@@CatmeleonStudio I haven't made any wings based on real examples yet, so instead of drawing/painting on the veins, I just use the crinkling of the plastic sheet under the curing the resin to create the designs. I'm just in love with your technique. ❤️❤️

Happy that you like him! I am trying really hard to put as much personality into my figurines :) Happy to hear that it shows!

Thank you :) In this one I feel like I could do more with his face expression... but I do like the overall look ^_^

XD what can I say... :D

@@CatmeleonStudio °-° hello there didn't expect you to say anything lol

I am in fact using the resin on joints right now on my current project XD but not with spectra :)

@@CatmeleonStudio noice! Can't wait to see the end result!

A wystarczyloby byc Marzeną i wiedzieć, że nikt za granicą nie wymówiłby tego imienia XD Z kraju mamy jeszcze dziewczyny z Enchanterium, które bardzo polecam ^_^

So happy to hear that and to have you here! ^_^ Thank you!

:D They will be inseparable from now on ^_^

@@CatmeleonStudio Hope they don't destroy more innocent beehives 😂🐝

Thank you! ^_^ Last minute decisions are sometimes the best ones :)
