For those of you who wonder why I would sell this doll for 300$ even though I “just” repainted and bedazzled her let me explain why! As a self employed person I have a lot of expenses because I have to pay for my business AND my private life! That’s why I have to charge a higher hourly wage! On this doll with all the inspiration research and the mock up and planning I spend around 8-10 hours. So if I charge 30$ per hour which is not much for an artist (some charge 100$ per hour) I end up at about 300$! I hope that explains things a bit better ❤️
It's good to see you value your work
Us artists shouldn't have to explain ourselves when it comes to prices. People say I charge too much for logos, but my set prices are actually quite low. ($300 for customers, $200 for friends and family) Most professionals offer logos from between $200-$2,000 depending on difficulty, but I have to value myself as well.
I would love to see your video about your selling process and how you make it all work. As someone just starting into the hobby, the business side of things intrigues me so much
Imo, selling her for $300 almost seems too cheap! She is worth so much more than that. Either way, thank you for being so honest about why you're selling her for this price!
As a fellow artist I wholly support and hear you. Stay your course, you make amazing things for us all.
For those of you who wonder, why if I sold her I would sell the doll for 300$, even though I "just bedazzled her and repainted her", let me explain why! 💕💕 As a full time self employed artist, I have a lot more expenses than someone who is employed somewhere because I have to pay for my business AND my private expenses. (health insurance, studio rent, accounting, software, materials, food, apartment rent, etc.). This is the reason I have to charge a higher hourly wage. In total I have been working on this doll for about 8-10 hours including research for face up inspiration, making the mock up, thinking how to bedazzle her clothes, painting her face, etc. With an hourly wage of 30$ which is actually not much for a self employed person (there are people who charge up to 100$ per hour) it is easy calculated: 30$ x 10 hours = 300$. I hope this explains everything a little more. 💕
I think artists shouldn’t explain themselves when it comes to pricing.
A piece is worth as much as someone is willing to pay and your works are top class, sooo I wouldn’t be surprised if you would like to charge more ❤️✨
That kind of fine detailing has to be so incredibly challenging. Because you're so gifted you make it look easy when in reality it's so hard. You do beautiful work. I do artwork, drawings and paintings, just for fun. But any kind of fine detailing and making faces symmetrical is time consuming and difficult. I can't imagine how much harder it would be to do such work on a rounded surface than it is on flat paper or canvas. And your imagination is incredible. So charge what you want girl, you deserve it!
@@tiffanymichaels2429 ahwww thank you really 🥺💕
@@Nailianna As an artist I disagree, NFTs can be charged for absurd amounts of money for just an worthless PNG, does that seem fair? I get a bjd being pricey, a painting, a digital artwork because I worth my art to how difficult it was to make personally and I know how hard art can be(thought time is a important factor too), but sometimes art can cost more than it should since artists are people and people can be greedy, this is obviously a exception but what I mean is that I don't think this mindset works at the larger picture
@@tiffanymichaels2429 I personally don't like to say gifted because no one is born knowing art, their skills evolve over time and Moonlight is so good because she has experience and I appreciate that, as an artist my art is good now but it wasn't always good, I had to do many drawings until they started to look good and I still got more to go
Sorry if it sounded rude it's that this makes people think if they are not automatically gifted at something it's not for them when that isn't true at all, I just started trying to make a ball jointed doll and while hard and ammatourish I know if I continue to train sculpting and find the right materials for me I can be great!
i've always kind of hated the LOL doll face molds, so i'm glad that your faceup covers it up with more shading/blushing. cute doll :)
A lot of people don’t like them but I try my best haha ❤️ their fashion game is out of this world though haha
I love how dolly/cartoon they look for some reason
Yeha I also don’t like them they kinda look like fish but I really like the rainbow high doll ones for some reason
@@nadiacho6937 same tbh
@@theretardeddog8302 the rainbow high and shadow high ones are so adorable, I absolutely adore them
The genderbent versions of Dollightful's Tatsuo and Juwon we didn't know we needed
i have these two are my job and every time i see them i call them ‘opposites attract girlfriends’. so nice to see them out of box and made-up all pretty! great work!
Thats kinda weird considering on the box it says they're sisters.
@@SylverScourge they’re not though?? they’re best friends. they’re, separately, the older sisters to the opposites lol babies dawn and dusk.
Sunshine Gurl is one of my favorites from the OMG line, when I see her pastel outfit and pink hair I think of Dollightful because I could see her rocking the fluffy jacket and butterfly clips. Next doll I would love to see is OMG Sweets. She's my all time favorite and I'd love to see someone style her hair differently and brighten her lipstick up just a bit.
i love your repaints!! saw your post on instagram and dropped everything to watch this. your style is so fun and you make me want to do more art myself!
Ahw thank you so so much! You should totally make more art 💕💖❤️
I’d love to see a rainbow high doll repaint!! Sunny or skylar would be so cute!! You’re so amazing!
The glitter on Sunshine Baby low-key makes her look like she has freckles which makes her even more adorable!
The doll looks much brighter and happier! So cute 🥺🥰
So happy to see that you take the doll clothes and their stuff and turn it into your style making it your doll than the factory setting doll.
The color choices were spot on with this doll. Can't wait for more dolls into your style. Also it is cool how you learn something new and go back to do some touch up on your other doll.
Art is ever forming and changing and so creative at the same time. Keep up the good and do your best
Shes so perfect Elisa 💕💕 you never cease to amaze me with the quality of your custom dolls
I loved rollerblading when I was younger.
The pink hair suits both of you and another gorgeous customization.
The doll look gorgeous! May I suggest Kitty K as a next LOL guest in your makeover show? ;) I think you will really vibe with her aesthetic
So cute! Sunshine Gurl and Moonlight BB look like a couple of members of some hip pop group! I don't personally like LOL dolly's faces, but I am in love with the way you've repainted them!
Actually fortunately they look nothing like members of a hip hop group, which makes them so much lovelier to look at after their make over. From Street/Gangsta to Goth and Harakuju. I love the outcomes.
She looks great...they eyes on the OMG dolls are so flat and dead! You make them so beautiful!!
This is turning out so good, you did such an amazing job with this doll
she's. so. cute!!! she reminds me of those super talented girls on tik tok that do fun dancing in rollerskates that I'm always in awe of! You continue to amaze me with your art, if I ever have the money to spend I would absolutely buy one of your customs! thanks for sharing
I loooove this LOL surprise series! I love how you edit their outfits and make them even more special!! I wanna try now
the amount of detail that you put into any of your dolls is sooo amazing, you, dollightful, and hexian are def my favorite doll artist! i love watching the face ups on your videos so much because it is so mesmerizing how you can do such small details with what seems like such ease! Also, love that your customizing the LoL dolls i love the body type they have its very gorgeous and i rarely see any artist use the dolls
Oh my gaaaahd she's so cute 🥺 And you brought back so many memories when I was a kid. Roller blades and embroidered jeans, yes!
Also thank you for turning my attention onto UHU glue, I'm never going back ✌️
The best glue isn’t it! 😍💕💕 and thank you 🥺💕
She amazing! I honestly hope I can be as good as you one day, I finally took my dive into the hobby and made my own first custom. Thank you for inspiring me so much!
She's an instant boost of serotonin!! She's just so vibrant and fun and I definitely would love to have her hair as well!
Omg the little tongue sticking out detail is so cute and looks just right on her!
absolutely obsessed with this series!! such incredible work!
I looove the little changes you did to her clothes and accessories! It makes me want to buy her and do the same, especially the TV... So cute!
There is so much detail on her! Even the tiny piercings, so cuteeee. Incredible work!
I love your voice so much! Your dolls are also so pretty. The reason why I love your voice is because I like to watch youtube while I go to sleep and you just have one of those voices that's really calming lol. Really awesome content and I could watch it all day!
I love the face, the expression, the colors and the details that you put on the outfit *.* Amazing job!
She's so cute!!! I love all the new additions and her new face up!!
I LOVE your makeover! I would totally buy this for $300! I had to go buy one of these dolls I liked her so much. She's not as awesome as your finished version though! But we do what we can! lol
People that post hate about the price of art don't realize that it's not just the art piece itself that you're buying, you're also paying for the years and years of practice and work and improvements, the unique vision of the artist them self, not to mention the art supplies needed AND the TIME it takes from start to finish! Even if the price was broken down simply on time alone, if she was being paid 25 dollars an hour, 300 dollars would equate to 12 hours of work, which I think is more than fair for a unique art piece. I'm not going to sit here and figure out itemized art supplies for what was used on this doll, but if you went out and bought this doll, the paint, acetone, brushes, glitter, glue, rhinestones, all that - you're going to pay quite a bit for that stuff alone, so adding the artist's profit on top - 300 is more than fair.
Sooo cute!!
She’s so cute!! So adorable!! I wish I had the makeup like the doll!
I love these revamped LOL doll videos. You are so talented!
she’s so cute!! gives me gyaru vibes 🥰
Love it!

Yus you got her best friend!!! I own both of those dolls :3 an they are so adorable!!!

@@MoonlightJewel I couldn’t agree more! I can’t wait to see more omg soon!(:

Just ordered a small lot of monster high dolls to start my customizing journey~ you and the other doll artists on here really inspired me to pick this hobby up~
Ahhh! She's just super cute! I love your repaints. 💖💖💖
I absolutely LOVE these videos!
Great series
Wow!!! She looks phenomenal!!! You are brilliant! My favorite accessories change was the jeans. 🌸👏🏽🥰🌟🤩
Flower jeans are the best 🥰❤️💕
so pretty!! I love her
I tried to repaint a lol omg doll, and couldn't do it justice. You made my JAW DROP
It’s honestly really really difficult to repaint these I wouldn’t have thought 🤯💕 thank you so so much 😭❤️
Omg she came out so cute!!! aaah!!
As a collector (and I play with them when I’m bored since yk inner 5 year old) of these omg dolls, the medium ones, and lol dolls this video was so great seeing them with a new look! I love their og look just as much as this!
I love that series so much ❤️
She's adorable!
I absolutely adore the design🤩
What i love about both of these dolls is that i own both of them LOL. I love how you costumize them. ❤
Love it 🥰
This is gorgeous.
I can't help but see a more early 2000s look in this. Minus the thigh holes, this was the style I had until I was maybe 8 or 9.
Then again, the 2000s were like, the 90s on an extra heavy drug bender
I’m living for the early 2000 look ❤️
Omg love it so much!!! It's super cute and amazing the tiny little things you did just make such a big difference ❤ mabey the next omg doll you can do is sweets she's super cute and one of my favorites
omgg she came out so cute!!
Interesting make over of this doll! 🌺🌹🌺🌹
YOu are so amazing!
I love these so much!!! 🤩🥰🎀💜💗
I love the idea of leaning into the big eyes. I was thinking of customizing some of my dolls but wasn’t sure how to go about the eyes. This video was very inspirational. Thank you. 💖
Could you do this with the Gama Babe LOL Suprise Doll? She already has so much detail, I'd love to see her with more detail, or a different artistic take on her.
She came out beautifully! A big improvement.
She's so CUTE!!! She's got some Manba vibes to her!!! ❤
Your repaints never stop amazing me OBSESSED
I already know that this is going too be
💖beautiful 💖
Cool! I always love your repaints and dolls! I love this idea! 💕💕💕✨
I have this doll, too! 😱
OMGGEEE, I love her!! The little tongue is too cute ❤️❤️❤️
Love it this series
She’s beautiful
She is so beautiful! 😍
Also, would love to know what is the black paint you use? Forgive me if I’ve missed it somewhere! Absolutely adore your work, you are incredibly talented ❤️
Am I the only one who’s obsessed with the tiny scrunchies?
SAME 🥺❤️
i honestly think that the faded hair on you looks better than the solid color pink the gradient just makes it look way cooler :>
Uhu glue us really useful and has helped me in to many projects
I would buy this with no hesitation!!!! I've been a fan of moonlightjewel for so long and I'd LOVE owning/paying for any doll from her !!! :')
She's you if you were tan and you can't convince me otherwise. She's so pretty!
Soooooooo Beautiful, thats Awsome and high talent!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Aw she's so pretty ! If i could afford it I would buy all of your dolls instead of whatever I can find in a thrift store 🥲
Very cute😃
this is one of my favvvvs ever!!! the shape of the ornament is so pleasing
Thank you! Making it symmetrical was a challenge 😂❤️
OMG ist die süß geworden! 😍
Ah yes, the good old rush of unboxing a brand new doll 🤩😍
Great video
Snowlicious!!
Yay im finnally early!
The modifications were small and easy, but they really added a lot to the overall design. Well done! Makes me want to modify my own outfits! :)
The faceup is everything! The tongue is so cute too
Okay you actually inspired me to decide to buy one of these dolls to customize. I want into them before this video
The little tongue is absolutely brilliant!
What a cutie! 💖💛💖💛💖
