I gotta say as someone who uses a wheelchair part of the time but not all the time, seeing your little doll standing with her wheelchair in the intro was a cute little piece of representation whether you meant it to be or not
100% agree. It is wonderful to see. If I remember correctly she also has a doll who uses a cane which is also nice representation. Actually it might be the same doll she just made a wheelchair & cane for it. The video for it is good & I believe has the disability pride symbol on the back. Either way it's not common to see unfortunately.
Her name is Charley! This is the video where she made her in case you haven’t seen it! (She even made a separate video on how to make the wheelchair!) th-cam.com/video/0r5J4EjL5XY/w-d-xo.html
i remember arguing with someone about wheelchair users. he was saying anyone who uses a wheelchair must be paralyzed and the person in the video (who could stand occasionally) was faking their illness. It was so infuriating lol
Her face went from looking a little spooky to looking a little spooked lol. Twyla's mold has a resting mouth with causes her expression to fluctuate a little depending on the angle which is pretty cool. As usual I love the design😁🥰
Part of me thinks the ‘scared’ expression is also because she chose pale pink for the top of the iris. A deeper colour would make her eyes more shadowed and less startled looking :) I think she’s gorgeous either way!
Honestly I think it’s more the eyebrows than the adjusted eyes themselves that give her a worried expression, in my opinion. When I paused at 24:37 & hid the eyebrows with my finger, her expression didn’t come across as scared to me anymore. All that to say personally I prefer the look with the pupils, I feel like without them her eyes looked like, glassy almost.
@@Petitfleur_ I’m definitely not taking the eyebrows into consideration when I look at the eyes. She looks like she’s seeing either ghosts of some thing very unsettling lol. I didn’t even really see the brows through the bangs it’s definitely just the addition of irises that make her look absolutely horrified. 😂 Honestly the more I stare at the eyes it looks like she’s an anime character who’s about to die and every one will cry over the fact that they killed our favorite character. Plus I didn’t see the scared look before she added the irises. I think if she would have just moved the white dot which I think was supposed to be an eye shine and not a pupil it would have changed the first eyes for the better instead of making them worse with the second eyes.
I actually love her final face, I think it has more personality on it. she looks like she and her friends got caught skating somewhere they weren’t supposed to while having fun. She definitely has a wild friend 😂
As someone who deals with chronic muscle pain and fatigue, seeing the doll (Charlie I wanna say her name was) with the wheelchair stand next to it makes me really happy, watching a channel like dollightful’s, which I’ve been watching for years now do little things like this always makes me happy, thank you ❤️
I have fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome I'm seriously starting to consider mobility aids for use in public. If I'm just going to the doctor it's not too bad, but if I have to run errands, especially buying groceries, my dad and I are both disabled but differently, he has Parkinson's, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis but has an implanted pain device, so he can handle grocery shopping for longer because he has better pain control plus he uses the cart to lean on while I'm free standing. When I start to sweat, the pain sweats, then he knows it's time to wrap it up, but it's usually too late by then. Cue the two day recovery crash. I think it's important to address the fact that there are people with muscle weaknesses that may only need a chair sometimes.
I actually like the flat colors for the eyes a toonnn, I think it adds a sort of sweet innocence to her. I also like the the fish scales on the skates tbh haha, it pairs with the backpack. Sorta soft animal themeing that is very cutesy teenager! (Like, does anyone remember those rainbow fishscale tights that were super popular like a decade or so ago?) I think she's just simple in a sweet way, so having features that compliment that is nice
The first eyes were def your style, but the second ones with the purple pop a LOT more from further back. They make her look like a real sailor-moon-esque character with those big glossy eyes. Her hair is SO cute and I love the lavender skin tone and just- Ugh, I love Tokki so much! Def one of my new favorite dolls of yours!
Okay but seriously, you KILLED that backpack. Most toy company’s make plastic-one colored backpacks with pretty much no details. But your backpack is so realistic! It’s amazing!
I think the flat colors for the eyes fit in really well with the rest of the doll! It gives her this ethereal look that’s really unique and pretty without taking to much attention away from the pastel color palette. The more detailed look takes a ton of the focus away from the pastels and makes her look a lot more realistic which (in my opinion at least-) is kinda a negative because it negates the whole fantasy magical girl vibe that made her so cool in the first place!
I posted a comment by itself, but just to add here: I don't think adding pupils detracted from her vibe, but more so her pupils having shading and light instead of being flat like her irises might be what caused that feeling! I think no pupils looks cute, but flat light-ish purple pupils would pull the face together without clashing with the ethereal vibe ^^
I actually really like the scale texture, it makes the shoes look quilted, if you didn't know the true origin 😂 maybe not the most practical thing, but the idea of it sounds super cute! Love this doll, absolutely adorable
If she had a lanyard she’d look like a convention tourist. I’ve met ppl with this exact fit during animation panels, this doll feels nostalgic in a way lol ❤
larger eye shines with a tiny purple pupil might be a good middle ground between the two faces, sailor moon-esq eyes. Also I think these are the best bangs you've done they're amazing! I use cuticle scissors to cut doll bangs. The slight curve lowkey helps
It’s really refreshing to see such a simple (?) doll this time. Obviously she’s full of small details but after so many extreme body mods and complex characters it’s always fun to get a classic sort of dollightful doll, just cute bright colors and frills and stuff. It always makes me want to draw something fun and colorful
The fact that you are able to make a tennis skirt is impressive, but mini!? I almost exploded with all those box pleats on a human sized skirt and watching you do it so well truly shows your talent
This video is exactly what i needed today, it’s the 1 year since my grandma passed and a happy pastel dollight full video is perfect to make it all feel better ☺️
When you first started painting the eyes I thought they looked a little creepy in 3d form, but the by the end of the face up they grew on me, and I think I prefer them. Both look super cute though, and the doll is gorgeous overall!
Yeah! I think she would look super cute with pastel yellow pupils! Just adding some gradients to the original could help make the less flat an off-putting
when seeing the faces close up, i liked the original better, but after seeing her all together in the photoshoot, i think the new eyes are really cute!!! the first is definitely a bit more dreamy, but the new eyes give her a more earnest schoolgirl vibe imo, which really fits with her Magical Girl theme!
For the shoe scales, for small details like that i mix in some talcum/baby powder into the base paint to act as a filler and then buff it out once dry, then coat over with normal base coat and it really helps fill in some of those tiny details. I use this a lot to make 3D printed pieces perfectly smooth for very cheap
You seemed disappointed with the fish scales not being hidden by the paint on the rollerskates, but honestly I love it! It gives them a really unique faux-snakeskin look which isn't super noticeable, but provides just a little bit of extra visual interest to the outfit :)
She came out amazing, I’m IN LOVE with her hair. I like both versions of the face, the first has a very calm, soft look imo while the second looks a bit scared or shocked
I would absolutely love a series where you make one doll inspired from different fashion keis. You’ve done a lot of decora, and I would love to see more! Another decora doll, gothic and classic lolita, fairy kei, visual kei, uchuu kei, pastel goth, gyaru, mori kei, bosozoku, dolly kei, peeps, there are so many to choose from!
No doubt that would be interesting and informative! The problem is... I love the bright rainbow ones so much; they're the only ones I ever want to do! 😅 Haha
The aesthetic of this one is so cute!! 🥺 As for the face - while I do get that a lot of people will see pupil-less eyes as somewhat creepy, the new face's eyes having pupils that are fully exposed (for the lack of better words 😅) make her look scared lol Everything else is so on point though, I don't think it detracts from her at all!
Ya know, as someone who typically stays away from pastels and sparkles, I still feel drawn to this channel! Even made a few OCS based off of the general fun aesthetic of this channel! The style, and the absolute quality and talent in the dolls you make is incredible and seeing the progress is always so satisfying!
The intro definitely got me thinking, a rainbow pastel demon would be so cute as a doll! Imagine their interactions with your other demons!🤭😩 this doll turned out super cute!! So glad to see you're still creating rainbow eyecandy for all of us to drool over... maybe I'm just hungry for sweets 💀💀
I would so be down if there was a pastel rainbow series! You can't go wrong with all those colors they just bring a smile to your face. As for Tokki's eyes her first set were nice and I think if you maybe brought out the gouache paint and did some highlight details (like with Justine Dancer) the eyes would've really looked even more awesome. None the less she turned out lovely!
I like the eyes before the pupils! I feel like the darker pupils look a bit harsher compared to the rest of the doll being so pastel, and the old eyes fit the color scheme and matches the hair really well ^^ Plus the eyes look more spookier afterwards with the soul piercing stare. but that’s just my opinion, Iove the doll
agreed! i think the first eyes were more soft, and tbh while i was watching the end i was distracted and not looking at the screen, and when i glanced when she mentioned them looking spooky, i thought she meant the final eyes were the original spooky looking ones 🙇 so very much agreed!! the first ones were much better imo !
Love the pastel vibe! The "scales" on the rollerblades just look like a fabric texture, it looks great! I liked the original eyes better, the new eyes look weird to me but that may be because the entire pupil/color of the eye is visible
I love how she deeply explains every step, in case this is your first video. Even though I’ve watched every video (she so many other doll painters) hearing the process every video (and learning any new techniques) is almost therapeutic. ❤
The pupils are so much better than the no pupils, IMO. They being life to her and, as you said, give a focal point to the otherwise fairly busy design. Love it!!
i think the pupils made Tokki have a more childlike appearance. the shine in her eyes makes it look like a pure child exploring the world, much like a magical girl. the lack of pupils kinda made her face easy to just gloss over and not look at again
I think a cool series would be lolita fashion. It would be sweet to explore the different types of lolita and get creative with different designs because I am just in love!!
Even though I loved her first face, I do think her final face photographed from afar better, the contrast in the pupils helps her eyes still seem distinct even zoomed out haha I didn’t think the first one was creepy though, but I also just love spaced out looking eyes in anime haha
I'm sure this has been said before, but seeing you being thrifty and using simple materials like glue and salvaged stuff is really encouraging for creatives in general. That being said I Love Tokki and I think she is also one of my favorite dolls on the channel so far!!
Fun fact: one of the ref arts used was made in an avatar/ dressup app called “pastel girl”! :> there’s another, slightly newer app called “pastel friends” 💕 i totally recommend them! They’re great to give character and clothing ideas! 🎉
I hope you are doing well! You certainly sound like youre having the time of your life! Im so glad to see more custom dolls from you, they are always so stunning and immediately make me want to draw!
I dont work with physical arts, but as an artist you explaning how you sew everything together makes clothes so much easier to wrap my head around! Adorable doll as usual
My favourite part about your customs are the little details and clothing!! I know you said the backpack took a while but I was thinking it would be so fun to watch an entire video of you just making a bunch of cool accessories and they can even be specifically for old dolls so you can "give them all backpacks" (or other accessories)! It's just SO satisfying to see your creativity not only in designing them but figuring out how to make it with limited materials and small size!!!
I think Tokki may be one of my favorites you've made so far! Perhaps you could reuse some ideas from her concept art by making a "transformed magical girl" version? I think the first face is super pastel and is very cute, but I agree that the second one provides more contrast and fits better with the rest of the doll. Also, I've always called two ponytails "twintails"!
the pastel rainbow kawaii look could not be further from my own preferred aesthetics, but the craftmanship and attention to detail and general positive vibes in your videos are unparalleled and make them a joy to watch regardless of the subject matter
The skirt was seriously incredible, it turned out so well even on that teeny tiny scale. Even with your self-proclaimed haphazard patterns and sewing, you always make such cute and rather realistic doll clothes that never fail to amaze me!
Oh my god I love the hair so much! The whole color palette is just so soft and pretty, honestly. And I'm a big fan of how the face contrasts the skin but still manages to keep that soft look. 😊
I always love it when you show your mistakes and when things ‘don’t exactly go to plan’ in the video! It makes me feel better to know that someone so artistically talented, and someone I really look up to can also feel like that. I also love how you always problem-solve your way through it! It inspires me to also keep pushing through! Anyways, the doll looks amazing, and I love how you did the backpack!! It baffles me how you’re able to do things on such a small scale. ♥️✨ Also 19:30 I always thought that more than one ponytail were pigtails, but only one was a ponytail.
Contrary to popular opinion, I really prefer the second face! It makes her look much more alive and I feel like she has an expression of wonder or curiosity, perfect for a magic girl character
As someone who rollerblades, when she said “could you imagine trying to skate in high heels?” My eyes shot open so fast because that sounds like something out a horror film to me 😂
Actually, the long, high ponytails are called twintails! Also, I absolutely LOVE this doll! My love for anime and pastel is shining through whenever I look at her, especially her hair! Nice work! Edit: I. LOVE. SAILOR. MOON. I'm so glad you brought it up!
i think it also depends on region! i’d call long double ponytails like this style pigtails! i only started hearing twintails surrounding asian media like anime, so i wonder if it’s a more asian term, or maybe even just different areas in western cultures too!
I love the idea of a girl who roller skates to school because she's always running late 😂 Edit: plus the additional bunny reference with the white rabbit from Alice in wonderland!
I've been binging your entire channel the past weeks, I've never been so excited for a new upload from a content creator! Thank you for all the wonderful things you make, your talent is truly amazing and your videos bring me a lot of joy and comfort 🇧🇷
Tokki is absolutely adorable! I definitely prefer her eyes with pupils than without. They didn't seem finished until you added them imo. I love your work!!!
I think the scales still showing on the rollerskates are super cute!! It's like she bought them from a mermaid collection or something, which seems like something the character would do!
your joy is so contagious. i find myself repetitively smiling while watching your content. i hope you know what light you truly bring into this world as you share your art and passion. thank you, i like to think we're all better for it :)
I have to say I really admire your sewing skills with the tiny doll pieces, it looks so detailed and neat. I have been sewing human clothes for like at least 7 years and I’ve tried dolls clothes ones, and I just can’t do it on that scale it’s too small. Also if you’re ever gonna make a magical fairy type doll for the clothes I’d really recommend 2 tone organza if you can get your hands on it, it’s beautiful and looks different depending on the light, I made my prom dress out of it and the fabric is just a dream
Im so happy to see this today! I had the same reaction about the eyes. At first they felt unfinished but they grew on me by the end of the video. I do like the darker ones too though, they are just more realistic and she’s so fantastical. Both versions are very cute though!
Her face didn’t feel complete the first round. It was really simple for her clothing design personally. But the darker purples really seemed to pull the contrasting colors together. I absolutely love how she turned out!! I would LOVE to see a GOTHIC DECORA DOLL. Maybe BFFS??!! 🥰🥰🥰 💕🖤
I'm always amazed how you can make dolls without them being an existing character beforehand! Also I think the eyes might look off because the pupils aren't touching the lash line? Makes her look wide eyed!
I really love all the graphics you incorporated into this video! It really added to the visuals as you were creating in the background. I think the scales on the shoes really sell the magical girl aesthetic as a little easter egg of sorts. I would honestly love to see you make a second outfit for her that is her magical girl transformation outfit! That hair is to die for ahhhhhhhh.
I hope I am not the only one who would be interested in a video of a day in the life of a mom doll creator and how u manage to make these beautiful beings while raising a lil one. I have 2 kids and I envy your dedication to your love of doing this❤
I can not describe the joy I felt when I opened TH-cam an saw this pop up. You really brightened up my day with this pastel goodness, and you did an amazing job on the doll! I do prefer the dark purples you added to the eyes afterwards, but I think her pupils might be a little too detailed? Never the less, an amazing doll and amazing video
I really liked the way the eyes originally looked without the pupil- but just maybe not for this doll. I think it would work really well for a goddess or supernatural character
I think if you had done a double circle skirt, it would have given you the pleated look you were going for, but allowed for the poofy tulle underskirt. Definitely one of my favorite dolls you’ve made! Her hair is absolutely perfect
I love how much attention you put into everything, even the tiny resin buttons and backpack straps! As someone whose picking art and textiles for my GCSEs, I hope to do something like what you’re doing one day! :)
Have you ever thought, or perhaps you already do and I didn’t realize, about streaming your work on twitch or patron? I think you are extremely talented and it makes me so happy seeing your dolls. I would 100% tune in if you streamed your progress.
I agree! Watching doll customization in real time sounds so relaxing. Plus it would be a good time to get some Q&As. Although, I can see how it would be difficult with the different angles that would be needed and a baby to look after
Love the doll as usual! Your art is inspiring! I always wanna draw fanart. The fun part about the cut-out ribcage is you can just wait until october and add some extra creepy detail to it and then suddenly she's a cutesy character hiding a spooky secret
A while ago i was stuck in a depressive episode of some sorts and I remember there was a week where I literally did nothing but lay in my bed and watch your videos and eat. They definitely made that rough time way better
Okay but you've GOT to make Tokki's magical girl form!! it'd just be so epic to see her "transformation!" I love all the pastel dolls you do, every time you do one I get so excited and id adore a pastel rainbow magical girl
I must say, pastels aren't always my thing (mostly I just prefer more saturation and contrast in my color palettes!) but I think between the warm toned outfit and darker pupils, you achieved a really great balance of color in this one!
I like the scales! All the little girl stores around me are overflowing with pastel, glittery, girly, mermaid-themed clothes and accessories, and these skates look like they'd blend in perfectly. Also, I muuuuch prefer her new face! Before you revelaed the new face, I was thinking that she looked like she was kind of scared or uncomfortable. When you added the darker purple, it made the expression much more focused, I guess? Like before the expression was too vague, but now I can read it more easily. The detail in the eyes is also more anime-esque! I think it really suits her now and matches the look better!
Hello dollightfull I don’t know if you will see this but I have watched Evers since the eve evos and a little before that as well and you have inspired me as a young guy to step out my comfort zone and purchase my first doll ever thank you showing me that dolls are for everyone and how beautiful and cool they can actually be❤❤❤
i like the face with the pupils! makes her look more like an actual anime character to me. also! pony tail is when you have the hair pulled up into one and pigtails are when the hair is pulled up into two separate sections. amazing doll as always :D
I think she looks amazing eather way. The first one was cute but now she kinda looks like a little kid walking into a huge toy store for the first time and their eyes lighting up with pure exitement and joy! ^^
i love the new face ! using purple instead of black really tied the doll together 🥺🥺 i’m so impressed with how you did the hair bows and the backpack it makes me want to try and make my own !
I looooovvve how she came out! I agree with your fam, the original face felt incomplete and a little spooky. I think the pupils and darker purples really make her feel complete and like an actual full character.

The Ayako button on the backpack makes it seem like merchandise, like Ayako is an influencer for the other dolls and Tokki is a fan of hers ❤️
That's awesome! And perfect for Ayako. She deserves the recognition.
That's a really interesting thought actually:O
I actually love her final face, I think it has more personality on it. she looks like she and her friends got caught skating somewhere they weren’t supposed to while having fun. She definitely has a wild friend 😂
I think the scales add a really cute texture to the boots! I’m glad the paint didn’t hide them completely :D it makes the boots look almost sparkly
Yeah! It looks more like plush upholstery in my opinion
it makes them look a bit like leather- super cool!

You seemed disappointed with the fish scales not being hidden by the paint on the rollerskates, but honestly I love it! It gives them a really unique faux-snakeskin look which isn't super noticeable, but provides just a little bit of extra visual interest to the outfit :)
It looks almost like a cute pillow pattern to me! I think the bright pastels mask them somewhat and I love the whole design including the shoes!
Or pastel mermaid vibes
Yeah I thought they looked a bit like leather and I agree they don't detract from the design
She came out amazing, I’m IN LOVE with her hair. I like both versions of the face, the first has a very calm, soft look imo while the second looks a bit scared or shocked
She’s so pretty, but I think my favourite part of this custom was how genuinely happy you sounded throughout it. It made me smile a lot
this is such a cute comment omg
well said 12 flashlights. well said
The effort put into the little graphic for the bag strap just reminds me how much work she puts into these videos. That skirt is also just immaculate
I would absolutely love a series where you make one doll inspired from different fashion keis. You’ve done a lot of decora, and I would love to see more! Another decora doll, gothic and classic lolita, fairy kei, visual kei, uchuu kei, pastel goth, gyaru, mori kei, bosozoku, dolly kei, peeps, there are so many to choose from!
OMGGG A GYARU DOLL WOULD BE SO COOLLLLL
omg i would die for a gyaru or vkei doll
I LOVE THIS IDEA! a gyaru doll would be so freakin adorable 😩🤍
moonlight jewel actually just made a gyaru doll, for anyone who's interested!
No doubt that would be interesting and informative! The problem is... I love the bright rainbow ones so much; they're the only ones I ever want to do! 😅 Haha
The aesthetic of this one is so cute!! 🥺
As for the face - while I do get that a lot of people will see pupil-less eyes as somewhat creepy, the new face's eyes having pupils that are fully exposed (for the lack of better words 😅) make her look scared lol
Everything else is so on point though, I don't think it detracts from her at all!
It genuinely feels like Christmas every time you upload. She’s so adorable, it’s always a delight when you unleash the pastel demon
It is!
Bruh you should’ve said that it’s always a “DOLLight”
Ya know, as someone who typically stays away from pastels and sparkles, I still feel drawn to this channel! Even made a few OCS based off of the general fun aesthetic of this channel! The style, and the absolute quality and talent in the dolls you make is incredible and seeing the progress is always so satisfying!
this channel made me play Pastel Girl and Oh Boy does it have an influence in me
i even wanna cosplay soem of her dolls! >∆
The intro definitely got me thinking, a rainbow pastel demon would be so cute as a doll! Imagine their interactions with your other demons!🤭😩 this doll turned out super cute!! So glad to see you're still creating rainbow eyecandy for all of us to drool over... maybe I'm just hungry for sweets 💀💀
omg the doll could be embers girlfriend !
@@emilyrothschild5848 PLEASE THAT WOULD BE SO CUTE 😭😭😭
YESSS WE NEED EMBER TO HAVE A CUTE PASTEL DEAMON GIRLFRIEND
THIS THIS THIS THIS!!
I would so be down if there was a pastel rainbow series! You can't go wrong with all those colors they just bring a smile to your face. As for Tokki's eyes her first set were nice and I think if you maybe brought out the gouache paint and did some highlight details (like with Justine Dancer) the eyes would've really looked even more awesome. None the less she turned out lovely!
Oh yeah! Maybe even a pastel rainbow magical girl series! That’d be so cool.
I like the eyes before the pupils! I feel like the darker pupils look a bit harsher compared to the rest of the doll being so pastel, and the old eyes fit the color scheme and matches the hair really well ^^ Plus the eyes look more spookier afterwards with the soul piercing stare. but that’s just my opinion, Iove the doll
agreed!
Agreed!
agreed! i think the first eyes were more soft, and tbh while i was watching the end i was distracted and not looking at the screen, and when i glanced when she mentioned them looking spooky, i thought she meant the final eyes were the original spooky looking ones 🙇 so very much agreed!! the first ones were much better imo !
Love the pastel vibe! The "scales" on the rollerblades just look like a fabric texture, it looks great! I liked the original eyes better, the new eyes look weird to me but that may be because the entire pupil/color of the eye is visible
I love how she deeply explains every step, in case this is your first video. Even though I’ve watched every video (she so many other doll painters) hearing the process every video (and learning any new techniques) is almost therapeutic. ❤
The pupils are so much better than the no pupils, IMO. They being life to her and, as you said, give a focal point to the otherwise fairly busy design. Love it!!
i think the pupils made Tokki have a more childlike appearance. the shine in her eyes makes it look like a pure child exploring the world, much like a magical girl.
the lack of pupils kinda made her face easy to just gloss over and not look at again
I think a cool series would be lolita fashion. It would be sweet to explore the different types of lolita and get creative with different designs because I am just in love!!
Fantastic idea!!
Oh yes! Goth, sweet, country, hime, sailor... I could faint with happiness!
A dollightful video to brighten up my bad day! Dollightful never disappoints :)
so sorry to hear u had a bad day :(
feel that on a personal level. same situation here, we'll just tough it out and watch some dollightful together :D
Oh my god me too!!! Hehehe
oh i thought that said b-day... happy early birthday!
and i hope your day gets even brighter!!
Even though I loved her first face, I do think her final face photographed from afar better, the contrast in the pupils helps her eyes still seem distinct even zoomed out haha
I didn’t think the first one was creepy though, but I also just love spaced out looking eyes in anime haha
I'm sure this has been said before, but seeing you being thrifty and using simple materials like glue and salvaged stuff is really encouraging for creatives in general. That being said I Love Tokki and I think she is also one of my favorite dolls on the channel so far!!
as much as no pupils are a little “spooky” i love them sooo much, i just think there’s something so cute about the first face up
Fun fact: one of the ref arts used was made in an avatar/ dressup app called “pastel girl”! :> there’s another, slightly newer app called “pastel friends” 💕 i totally recommend them! They’re great to give character and clothing ideas! 🎉
I hope you are doing well! You certainly sound like youre having the time of your life! Im so glad to see more custom dolls from you, they are always so stunning and immediately make me want to draw!
Thank you so much for watching! 😄💖
I dont work with physical arts, but as an artist you explaning how you sew everything together makes clothes so much easier to wrap my head around! Adorable doll as usual
My favourite part about your customs are the little details and clothing!! I know you said the backpack took a while but I was thinking it would be so fun to watch an entire video of you just making a bunch of cool accessories and they can even be specifically for old dolls so you can "give them all backpacks" (or other accessories)! It's just SO satisfying to see your creativity not only in designing them but figuring out how to make it with limited materials and small size!!!
Aw, thank you so much! Haha I can imagine a video where we just go on a backpack-making marathon 😆
I think Tokki may be one of my favorites you've made so far! Perhaps you could reuse some ideas from her concept art by making a "transformed magical girl" version? I think the first face is super pastel and is very cute, but I agree that the second one provides more contrast and fits better with the rest of the doll. Also, I've always called two ponytails "twintails"!
Having a transformed version of this doll would be soooo cute! She could even be rabbit themed (like Tokyo mew mew vibes)
Awww I would love a magical girl form that sounds so cute
This is a fantastic idea!!!!!
OHHH PLEASEEE YESSS
Combining acrylics with fabric softener or laundry detergant can help make it more permanent and less stiff. For your next custom fabric^^
I love it when you just go nuts on the pastel rainbow stuff that you love. It's so much fun to do stuff that you're passionate about!
the pastel rainbow kawaii look could not be further from my own preferred aesthetics, but the craftmanship and attention to detail and general positive vibes in your videos are unparalleled and make them a joy to watch regardless of the subject matter
Yeah me too. I lean more into the grunge, punk, hip hop and kind of trashy aesthetic but I love watching these videos
Trueee
i love how Tokki has a resting ‘🥺’ face now-makes her look absolutely adorable
The skirt was seriously incredible, it turned out so well even on that teeny tiny scale. Even with your self-proclaimed haphazard patterns and sewing, you always make such cute and rather realistic doll clothes that never fail to amaze me!
Katherine: "I've never made a doll with rainbow hair before! Ayako and Juwon were the closest."
Estelle, Guinevere, and Kami: "Are we a joke to you?"
That's actually what I was thinking lmao
Twyla was my ONLY monster high doll growing up 🥹 i loved her so much the memories that came flooding back when you pulled her out 💖💖
Oh my god I love the hair so much! The whole color palette is just so soft and pretty, honestly. And I'm a big fan of how the face contrasts the skin but still manages to keep that soft look. 😊
I always love it when you show your mistakes and when things ‘don’t exactly go to plan’ in the video! It makes me feel better to know that someone so artistically talented, and someone I really look up to can also feel like that. I also love how you always problem-solve your way through it! It inspires me to also keep pushing through! Anyways, the doll looks amazing, and I love how you did the backpack!! It baffles me how you’re able to do things on such a small scale. ♥️✨
Also 19:30 I always thought that more than one ponytail were pigtails, but only one was a ponytail.
Same
I actually like her with pupils better then without. Stunning work as always!!
Contrary to popular opinion, I really prefer the second face! It makes her look much more alive and I feel like she has an expression of wonder or curiosity, perfect for a magic girl character
As someone who rollerblades, when she said “could you imagine trying to skate in high heels?” My eyes shot open so fast because that sounds like something out a horror film to me 😂
wasn't there a girl who actually had made her own high-heeled rollerblades? I feel like I've seen it somewhere.
FR!! i cant even walk in high heels, let alone skate
@@MiotaLee Yeah, shes got a youtube channel
Alot of rollerskates have built in heels to help sorta force your knees to bend right
Lmao fr fr🤣🤣
Actually, the long, high ponytails are called twintails! Also, I absolutely LOVE this doll! My love for anime and pastel is shining through whenever I look at her, especially her hair! Nice work!
Edit: I. LOVE. SAILOR. MOON. I'm so glad you brought it up!
i think it also depends on region! i’d call long double ponytails like this style pigtails! i only started hearing twintails surrounding asian media like anime, so i wonder if it’s a more asian term, or maybe even just different areas in western cultures too!
OMG Sailor moon is the best!
@@racheleaster1066 it definitely is 🌙✨
i think the newer eyes give her a bit more emotion, as if she's filled with wonder. she looks amazing!
I love the idea of a girl who roller skates to school because she's always running late 😂
Edit: plus the additional bunny reference with the white rabbit from Alice in wonderland!
hey she needs her eyeliner on point, different bracelets, and apply her freckle stickers properly every day!!
Like.. Card Captor Sakura?
I've been binging your entire channel the past weeks, I've never been so excited for a new upload from a content creator! Thank you for all the wonderful things you make, your talent is truly amazing and your videos bring me a lot of joy and comfort 🇧🇷
Aw gosh! Thank you so much for watching. 😀💖
The colorful rainbow dolls are definitely my favorites from you! ☺❤
Tokki is absolutely adorable! I definitely prefer her eyes with pupils than without. They didn't seem finished until you added them imo. I love your work!!!
I've been having an awful few weeks, this made me feel better. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art and creativity with us! 💕
Yes I feel a lot of people kinda started 2023 with depression lacking creativity and motivation it took me a long time to start drawing again.
I hope things get better for you soon!
I think the scales still showing on the rollerskates are super cute!! It's like she bought them from a mermaid collection or something, which seems like something the character would do!
your joy is so contagious. i find myself repetitively smiling while watching your content. i hope you know what light you truly bring into this world as you share your art and passion. thank you, i like to think we're all better for it :)
I have to say I really admire your sewing skills with the tiny doll pieces, it looks so detailed and neat. I have been sewing human clothes for like at least 7 years and I’ve tried dolls clothes ones, and I just can’t do it on that scale it’s too small.
Also if you’re ever gonna make a magical fairy type doll for the clothes I’d really recommend 2 tone organza if you can get your hands on it, it’s beautiful and looks different depending on the light, I made my prom dress out of it and the fabric is just a dream
Im so happy to see this today! I had the same reaction about the eyes. At first they felt unfinished but they grew on me by the end of the video. I do like the darker ones too though, they are just more realistic and she’s so fantastical. Both versions are very cute though!
Her face didn’t feel complete the first round. It was really simple for her clothing design personally. But the darker purples really seemed to pull the contrasting colors together. I absolutely love how she turned out!! I would LOVE to see a GOTHIC DECORA DOLL. Maybe BFFS??!! 🥰🥰🥰 💕🖤
My favorite part of doll customization is the accessories, so I was overjoyed to watch the backpack's construction!
I'm always amazed how you can make dolls without them being an existing character beforehand! Also I think the eyes might look off because the pupils aren't touching the lash line? Makes her look wide eyed!
I really love all the graphics you incorporated into this video! It really added to the visuals as you were creating in the background. I think the scales on the shoes really sell the magical girl aesthetic as a little easter egg of sorts. I would honestly love to see you make a second outfit for her that is her magical girl transformation outfit! That hair is to die for ahhhhhhhh.
Aw, thank you! I made a conscious decision to try including more graphics in this one, so I am happy to hear you like it. 😀
@@Dollightful It felt very technical and fancy haha I like WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN THERE'S A DIAGRAM! 🤣🤣
I loveeee when she takes us through the process of making the clothes! I know I'll never do it but as a fashion girly it's so fun to watch
I hope I am not the only one who would be interested in a video of a day in the life of a mom doll creator and how u manage to make these beautiful beings while raising a lil one. I have 2 kids and I envy your dedication to your love of doing this❤
I actually love the scale design in the shoes and think it really suits her! Plus the tiny backpack is absolutely adorable 💜
The scales kind of look like quilted fabric! At least I think so. Lol
I love the second set of eye's. She looks to have a soul this way. Tender and child-like.
I can not describe the joy I felt when I opened TH-cam an saw this pop up. You really brightened up my day with this pastel goodness, and you did an amazing job on the doll! I do prefer the dark purples you added to the eyes afterwards, but I think her pupils might be a little too detailed? Never the less, an amazing doll and amazing video
I really liked the way the eyes originally looked without the pupil- but just maybe not for this doll. I think it would work really well for a goddess or supernatural character
I think if you had done a double circle skirt, it would have given you the pleated look you were going for, but allowed for the poofy tulle underskirt. Definitely one of my favorite dolls you’ve made! Her hair is absolutely perfect
I love how much attention you put into everything, even the tiny resin buttons and backpack straps! As someone whose picking art and textiles for my GCSEs, I hope to do something like what you’re doing one day! :)
Have you ever thought, or perhaps you already do and I didn’t realize, about streaming your work on twitch or patron?
I think you are extremely talented and it makes me so happy seeing your dolls. I would 100% tune in if you streamed your progress.
That’s a cool idea
That's a cool idea! I second this, even if the streaming schedule isn't strict I'd tune in if I could :)
Oooh this is a great idea! I love watching process streams and such
I’d love to watch streams too! Would be super relaxing I think ❤
I agree! Watching doll customization in real time sounds so relaxing. Plus it would be a good time to get some Q&As.
Although, I can see how it would be difficult with the different angles that would be needed and a baby to look after
Love the doll as usual! Your art is inspiring! I always wanna draw fanart.
The fun part about the cut-out ribcage is you can just wait until october and add some extra creepy detail to it and then suddenly she's a cutesy character hiding a spooky secret
A while ago i was stuck in a depressive episode of some sorts and I remember there was a week where I literally did nothing but lay in my bed and watch your videos and eat. They definitely made that rough time way better
Every doll you make is beautiful! You’re so talented!
I love the face-up on Tokki!!! The darks help to balance the pastels. And her backpack!! I want one for me!! xD
Okay but you've GOT to make Tokki's magical girl form!! it'd just be so epic to see her "transformation!" I love all the pastel dolls you do, every time you do one I get so excited and id adore a pastel rainbow magical girl
I love how you take so much care and time on your dolls! This doll is probably one of my favourites 🩷
To be honest I liked her 1st face up, I liked the simpler look personally. But either way I LOVE her! Shes so cute and colourful 💕
I must say, pastels aren't always my thing (mostly I just prefer more saturation and contrast in my color palettes!) but I think between the warm toned outfit and darker pupils, you achieved a really great balance of color in this one!
I like the scales! All the little girl stores around me are overflowing with pastel, glittery, girly, mermaid-themed clothes and accessories, and these skates look like they'd blend in perfectly.
Also, I muuuuch prefer her new face! Before you revelaed the new face, I was thinking that she looked like she was kind of scared or uncomfortable. When you added the darker purple, it made the expression much more focused, I guess? Like before the expression was too vague, but now I can read it more easily. The detail in the eyes is also more anime-esque! I think it really suits her now and matches the look better!
Hello dollightfull I don’t know if you will see this but I have watched Evers since the eve evos and a little before that as well and you have inspired me as a young guy to step out my comfort zone and purchase my first doll ever thank you showing me that dolls are for everyone and how beautiful and cool they can actually be❤❤❤
Her face makes her look so angelic and soft, I love that look on her, so calming and pretty
Oh my god!! I was hoping for another brightly colored, Kawaii, harajuku esque, and covered-in-blinding-colors doll!😩💕
Oml she hearted my comment and I didn’t even get a notification?! Anyway, ily dollightful!
i like the face with the pupils! makes her look more like an actual anime character to me. also! pony tail is when you have the hair pulled up into one and pigtails are when the hair is pulled up into two separate sections. amazing doll as always :D
I think she looks amazing eather way. The first one was cute but now she kinda looks like a little kid walking into a huge toy store for the first time and their eyes lighting up with pure exitement and joy! ^^
i love the new face ! using purple instead of black really tied the doll together 🥺🥺 i’m so impressed with how you did the hair bows and the backpack it makes me want to try and make my own !
I looooovvve how she came out! I agree with your fam, the original face felt incomplete and a little spooky. I think the pupils and darker purples really make her feel complete and like an actual full character.
