Amazing as always. Personal opinion, but I actually think you made him quite good-looking! Part of it, I think, is that he looks very self-assured and confident to me. Like, he *knows* he's a creepy bug dude and he's *owning* that lol. Attractiveness comes in many forms, not just for gals but for people of other genders, too, and I think you displayed that very well here even without meaning to!
That hornet in your garden chewing on the bark is gathering materials to form the nest with. Bees make wax, wasps and hornets make paper. Except for the mud daubers, they make pottery, sort of.
damn! as much i adore pretty boys, gotta love this kind of creepy vibe. you did very well, especially with face. facemold already was darn good and you did ir even better
you say you weren't worried about making him handsome but he turned out perfectly spooky and handsome anyway! I'm excited to see a male doll in your style. Male dolls feel under appreciated, and we can always use more male fairies
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 :)
As a male viewer, I am absolutely pumped! I'm subscribed to so many arts and crafts channels, including doll repainting channels. Sadly most dolls are female by default anyway, because they still get treated as "girl toys" and so these channels will obviously keep the dolls gender as female. I was a boy, that owned a lot of Barbie dolls and I loved them. However I was so tired of the fact that I only owned Barbies, so I started saving up my pocket money and bought a Ken doll one day. I protected that guy like a treasure. Everytime I see an art youtuber finally draw a male character or a doll channel finally repaint a male doll, I am absolutely thrilled. Thank you for doing this doll, I love him! It probably doesn't seem like much to represent male characters in art once in a while, but it means the world to me :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 ^_^
Ooo La La! Welcome to the family mr hornet! I’m really happy and glad you uploaded this video! This talent is something else thats really unique and a impossible skill on TH-cam! -from a big fan of yours (I also feel like you should add a character from the sandman into you list and the show really matches your channel style too!)
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 :)
My favorite parts are his super cool pokey mohawk and the larvae. But I'm slightly disappointed (j/k) that he didn't get a sexy "package" upgrade. Lol 😂. You give the females boob jobs and bigger booties, so I just assumed he would get an enlargement as well 😂
despite your feelings on the faceup, he still is very handsome and the work you did complimented that just so! maybe a Big future challenge would be a prettyboy faceup of some kind? still keeping those masculine features, but bringing in that need for perfection and beauty again sounds like a fun project
This fairy is a glorious finale for this fairy familiy. I am so smitten with all of therm. All dolls have a unique look, but still they belong together. Again, amazing work.
I'm someone who customizes dolls and my jaw dropped seeing you use a phone to get yarn the same length. I've spent so much time measuring the yarn and now I can start doing this! love the doll as well, he's so cool!
Awesome! final doll for the striped fairy group! Hornets weird me out more then bees and wasps and you translated the aggressive sharp look without taking it too a place that doesn't work in the group of fairies. Brilliant work as always! Look forward to future creations! Edited for spelling
Seeing this incredible work of art, the only thing I can think is: "Is there something that this young man does not do well?" I really love all the designs you make, the effort you put into each one of your works and without a doubt, I would love to be able to give you ideas so that you continue creating this type of art.
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
He’s amazing. I love/loathe him. He’s got that creepy sleazy villain vibe, that villain you love to hate vibe. I always feel such personality from your dolls, it’s so impressive. He looks like a still from the tragic backstory of a bee fairy.
This was the best possible way you could have closed this fairy mini-series. Hornet-boy is absolutely amazing- I love his mandible chin and mohawk especially!
I always save the yarn brushings and use them to stuff the upholstery when I make cushions for doll furniture. It makes good stuffing for Fancy pillows.
Im not to sure if you remember me or not, but I mentioned how hornets, bees, wasps, etc. have 5 eyes in the past because I was curious about it after watching one of your videos. That little micky mouse pattern on the hornets head you mimiced is actually the 3 extra eyes a hornet has!
I LOVE the stand so much! I feel like it adds so much atmosphere and inferred lore to the character. The resin honey / goo in particular is absolutely fantastic. I have a pretty intense phobia for wasps, so I can assure you, this project is beautifully terrifying! 😍
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
HEY! I'm in love with this boy. As a suggestion, u could add to your mermaid's collection a dude inspired on a male Betta Fish. That would be a mix with two themes lol
Fun fact! Since stingers are modified ovipositors (aka egg laying doohickeys), male wasps and bees don’t actually have them. So in my head canon, this guy is a rocking trans baddie.
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
do more male doll repaints. I think it would be mega cool if you did at least one male version for every theme you've done to date. It would be so awesome seeing them side by side
I really enjoy how you're passionate about creating, but don't take the whole process too seriously, that you can reflect and learn from mistakes while greeting them with a sense of humor. This video made my day, and the whole Bee series is intriguing and charming in a unique way!
He looks like a proper asshole - just like all hornets! It's a compliment, not an insult, I think you did an excellent job as always, I just hate hornets! (They're destroying my weeping willows and are scary!!)
: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
I love hiiiiim. (Though I can't unsee the 2000s styles... lol) When I saw hornet! AND male, I was super stoked. He turned out amazing. I love his entire back, it's all super cool. Funny that his proportions are somehow even weirder than the female dolls, but perfect for this! I also loved your moist grubs. I also encourage you to make weird and creepy female dolls, and pretty boys, if you're ever feeling it. :D
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 :)
He looks so badass! I'm so glad you made another one of these fairies, they're so cool! I really love the touch of orange in his hair, and his "early 2000s hair" lol
That was my first time seeing sunflower seeds in their natural state like that. I usually see them in packages at the grocery store, so that was super cool to see!! And I love this Hornet Fairy, he's awesome!!!
Please make a orchid bee, dragonfly, firefly, fly, mosquito and several species of moth and butterflies next. Oh and mantis, especially the orchid mantis.
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 ;)
I love the bee series. Maybe you could stay with the critters. I'd love to see a spider doll, mantis doll or bug doll.... there are so many amazing animals out there. I could also imagine like a big rhino beatle as inspiration with giant horns... so cool!!!
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 ^_^
Your ideas, your ability, your attention to detail, are second to none. You are simply the best out there now and it didn't take you very long to get there. I love this terrifying little fellow just as I love all of your work. And by the way, you have beautiful hands with or without long nails.
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 🥺
I'm in love with this video, but... I'm more than in love with "I Hope that you don't have to wait much for a next video" ahah , any way I sit right here and wait for you, because you have the power to make happy and feeling good a person with your art (Sorry for my english but I'm not mother tongue kek) 💕
Just gorgeous! Love the bug elements, the mandibles on the chin are perfect, elongating the face even more just works. OMG you make wing making look so easy!
@@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. ❤️❤️
What an exciting conclusion! I live for the worlds you make! These dolls become more than beautiful or cute, you create inspiration for imagination. Keep it up! Any time you upload I get soooooo excited. And thank you for this rare male doll. It’s always a nice to see in this community! ❤
Still watching the video (will either make an added comment at the end or edit this one for more/proper feedback once I see the final result), but very excited by your spin on a male remodel! One thing that really grabbed me as you were chatting about the difference working on male versus female doll models was the pressure you put on yourself with female dolls to go pretty, that you tend not to do for male dolls. I don't know if you'd be interested or not but you might have fun with something in the vein of Yoshitaka Amano's approach to drawing men, or how guys are shown in the Final Fantasy series generally? There's room for very dramatic male beauty there. Sometimes slim male models in avant garde fashion do similar looks, or characters in certain science fiction (Dune, Jupiter Ascending, and The Hunger Games films came to mind). No pressure or obligation of course, and not all characters need to be pretty/cute--but it struck me as something you might find neat artistically so thought I'd share! :D
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!
He's very cool looking, the colors you used make him pop! I'd love to see your creative talents to make a praying mantis fairy!!! Maybe an insect fairy series!?!?
He looks great ! As a helpful tip if you can use it cool water will make hot glued instantly set 😊 obviously it can't be used in every situation but it comes in handy sometimes 😉
I truly love this dude. He is amazing and I really do look forward to seeing more of your full male dolls. Looks like he is taking care of the babies and future generation well!
He looks Awesome! I think I'll call him Stinger the Hornet, (Story) Stinger may be a vicious Hornet fairy but deep down he still cares for his sister Waspette & his favorite cousin's Honey & Joy. He can be very protective around his family, when three bandit's try to kidnapped his family & try to steal the royal honey. However they didn't knew a great consequence would unleash Stinger's wrath, he stung his victim's and bring them to the Hornet hive, their skulls & bones were only found in the deepest part of the hive where no one would ever find, even though he tried his very best not to unleash his inner beast inside but deep down he's still a Hornet & not even mother earth can change him or his entire colony's ways. Even though it was a horrible price to pay his sister & cousin's still love him deeply very much, no matter hard he tried they will always love him till the end. See you on your next video.💖
always love your creepy dolls, cant wait to possibly see a super creepy male in the future. your hornet guy came out amazing! its always inspiring watching your vids, keep it up !
I know most insect colonies are led by queens but this dude can pass as a king
Catmeleon never dissapoints 👍
All hail the Hornet King!
:D
Don’t be scared to make your male dolls cute and beautiful. I love this doll btw
Cute and beautiful doesn't fit this particular character, that's all :D Glad that you like him ^_^
Amazing as always. Personal opinion, but I actually think you made him quite good-looking! Part of it, I think, is that he looks very self-assured and confident to me. Like, he *knows* he's a creepy bug dude and he's *owning* that lol. Attractiveness comes in many forms, not just for gals but for people of other genders, too, and I think you displayed that very well here even without meaning to!
I totally agree :) I really love the Bug King from the Strange Magic movie and he was far from being a Prince Charming :D
I love male custom dolls and this one is no exception! Wasp and Hornet definitely bully people together lol.
They will be inseparable from now on :D
HES SO COOL OMG
Love the pfp
I love when during a face up she goes in with the big brush like “DUST DUST DUST DUST DUST DUST DUS- okay we’re done.”
Cause when I blow the dust away, sometimes I accidentally spit on the face XD No one wants to watch that! XD
That hornet in your garden chewing on the bark is gathering materials to form the nest with. Bees make wax, wasps and hornets make paper. Except for the mud daubers, they make pottery, sort of.
damn! as much i adore pretty boys, gotta love this kind of creepy vibe. you did very well, especially with face. facemold already was darn good and you did ir even better
Thank you :) Monster High boys have the weirdest faces :D But they can be great for some not-as-classically handsome characters :)

Thank you :) I hope that your day will be only better from now on!
Jak na pierwszą męską lalkę wyszło świetnie. Zdecydowanie pasuje do reszty rodziny
A dziękuję bardzo :) Fajnie było, ale cieszę się, że rodzinka już w komplecie :D
omg we need more boys!! you could totally make a merman or a sweet fairy boy
Maybe in the future :)
I think the creepiest part is his nonchalant, almost pleasant, expression amid all the carnage 😆
Ooo La La! Welcome to the family mr hornet! I’m really happy and glad you uploaded this video! This talent is something else thats really unique and a impossible skill on TH-cam!
-from a big fan of yours

You should make Male dolls more often! He looks great!
Daddy Hornet is protective of his babies! Another fantastic custom!
He is MAGNIFICENT! I loved the larvae - they were an inspired touch.
Please work on more male doll projects, he’s wonderful 🤩
My favorite parts are his super cool pokey mohawk and the larvae. But I'm slightly disappointed (j/k) that he didn't get a sexy "package" upgrade. Lol 😂. You give the females boob jobs and bigger booties, so I just assumed he would get an enlargement as well 😂
Pleas make more dudes!! He lookes so cool an artsy and the angles of the face makes a welcome cgange to all the pretty ladies ❤
Every time you do one of the bug fairies, you surprise me. I really hope you never run out of insects to turn into fairy doll sculptures.
over 12,000 known species of ants to choose from... and that's just ants!
@@Sarappreciates Too true! The possibilities are endless!
The guy has a KILLER jawline...he is already halfway to becoming a hornet. Perfect.
he reminds me of a yellow jacket. they've invaded my backyard this year, and my dog is trying to wage war against them.
Dragon fly...?🥺
But wow finally a boy! Small decisions like these show how much your channel is growing! I'm proud to be a somewhat OG fan of yours
Nothing wrong with making pretty, cute, or beautiful male dolls too! I hope you do in the future.
26:42 boy meets girl 😝 I’m in love with the Apoidea/Sphecoidea family concept!
despite your feelings on the faceup, he still is very handsome and the work you did complimented that just so!
maybe a Big future challenge would be a prettyboy faceup of some kind? still keeping those masculine features, but bringing in that need for perfection and beauty again sounds like a fun project
I love the final shot of allnof them together ❤️ 😍 💓
Oh my goooooshhhh I LOVE HIM!! He’s so sassy- if you swat him he slap you back 😂
Ok but what about a 16’ Queen bee doll-
I have already made a Bee Fairy, so enough with the bees XD
So happy that you like this dude! ^_^
This fairy is a glorious finale for this fairy familiy. I am so smitten with all of therm. All dolls have a unique look, but still they belong together. Again, amazing work.
So happy that you like them all! :) Thank you!

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

He looks amazing! I love it! Everyone loves the ladies, of course, but I would really love to see more male doll works!
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 :)
As usual your designs blow me away, you are definitely NOT a newbe, you are one of, if not the best doll modeler on you tube.
Oh wow, thank you so much! ^_^
Whoa! In opinion this is one off the creepiest sculptures you've created! The little grubs were a nice touch. Bravo!
This was the best possible way you could have closed this fairy mini-series. Hornet-boy is absolutely amazing- I love his mandible chin and mohawk especially!

One da we might get a butterfly or praying mantis fairy series. Oh an orchid mantis fairy sounds fun
There's some really cool moths out there too. 🙂
HEY! I'm in love with this boy. As a suggestion, u could add to your mermaid's collection a dude inspired on a male Betta Fish. That would be a mix with two themes lol
OMG I love the idea of a male beta merman.
That sounds so fierce! I love it!
I always enjoy your fairies/insectoid dolls!!!! They are so freaking COOL!!!
His face reminds me of Handsome Jack from the Borderlands series... Which makes me love it all the more!!!
The hornet at the end is eating bark to use in making a nest.
Fun fact! Since stingers are modified ovipositors (aka egg laying doohickeys), male wasps and bees don’t actually have them. So in my head canon, this guy is a rocking trans baddie.

@@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.
This is awesome! So glad to see a male doll. Again you amaze me😁 plus you freaking crack me up!
love to see more male dolls from you!
do more male doll repaints. I think it would be mega cool if you did at least one male version for every theme you've done to date. It would be so awesome seeing them side by side
Dragonfly? Spider? Daddy long leg? Scorpion? Ladybug?
Daddy 😍 long legs 🤨
I really enjoy how you're passionate about creating, but don't take the whole process too seriously, that you can reflect and learn from mistakes while greeting them with a sense of humor. This video made my day, and the whole Bee series is intriguing and charming in a unique way!
Thank you! That is so nice to hear :) Mistakes are part of the learning process and learning is fun ^_^
He looks so cool and creepy! I really like the stand that you made for him really bringing more of the creepy theme. Great addition to the family :D

Please make a orchid bee, dragonfly, firefly, fly, mosquito and several species of moth and butterflies next. Oh and mantis, especially the orchid mantis.
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 ;)
Now you need a yellow jacket, killer bee, honey bee, carpenter bee and a dauber
Mud dauber would be horrifying and awesome to see!
You are such an underrated doll artist! EVERY SINGLE ONE of your dolls is just WOW. CHEFS KISS!!!
Aaaw, thank you for saying that :)
This guy is scary yet darkly compelling in that Tim-Curry's-character-"Darkness"-in- "Legend" way.
Or is that just me?
Anyway, four thumbs up! 👍👍👍👍
I love the bee series. Maybe you could stay with the critters. I'd love to see a spider doll, mantis doll or bug doll.... there are so many amazing animals out there. I could also imagine like a big rhino beatle as inspiration with giant horns... so cool!!!
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 ^_^
Your ideas, your ability, your attention to detail, are second to none. You are simply the best out there now and it didn't take you very long to get there. I love this terrifying little fellow just as I love all of your work. And by the way, you have beautiful hands with or without long nails.
Thank you so much! ^_^ I am planing to make way more dolls this year that one per month, so buckle up! :D And I hope that you will like them all ^_^
He looks amazing, truly talented. Thanks for allowing us to follow you through this.
I can’t stop rewatching all your old videos😭 Please make more male dolls! your women are fantastic but I barely ever see people make male dolls sadly
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 😆
He looks so cool!!! Im so happy you designed him as a guy, really original design!!
Another wonderful sculpt! It's fun to see you branch out into male dolls. Thank you for sharing the process with us!
He looks great! He's pretty and unnerving at the same time, and the stand is just topping it all off perfectly
so, so, so gorgeous! the level of details is mind-blowing! amazing!
I'm in love with this video, but... I'm more than in love with "I Hope that you don't have to wait much for a next video" ahah , any way I sit right here and wait for you, because you have the power to make happy and feeling good a person with your art
(Sorry for my english but I'm not mother tongue kek) 💕
I do finally have some more time for my crafting, so I really hope that long-waiting days are over :D
Its sad your boy dolls aren't as popular. I love how this guy looks. Even love how the new statue head you made!
Each figurine just keeps getting better and better. Fantastic work on this one!! 👏🙌💯🎯
He is badass! What a creepy, scary dude. Fabulous job done!
Just gorgeous! Love the bug elements, the mandibles on the chin are perfect, elongating the face even more just works. OMG you make wing making look so easy!
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. ❤️❤️
Maybe you should have kept the horn; that’s why he’s called a HORN-et 😊
Woo hoo it's a boy. Awesomeness 👌
Wow, fantastic works on this wasp fella. Love the wasp / bee collection photo at the end as well as the actual wasp clip
Always a joyful surprise when your videos pop-up! 😁
The larvae was such a good addition! They look disgustingly real and the honey on top is perfect!
Thank you! ^_^ Last minute decisions are sometimes the best ones :)
Once again, this character design is amazing ♡ I like how every detail can tell a little story about the figures ^^
What an exciting conclusion! I live for the worlds you make! These dolls become more than beautiful or cute, you create inspiration for imagination. Keep it up! Any time you upload I get soooooo excited. And thank you for this rare male doll. It’s always a nice to see in this community! ❤
Thank you so much for those words ^_^ Comments like this keeps me running ^_^ Hopefully the next doll project will come sooner than this one does :P
He's so badass looking!! The mandibles in his chin were a great touch!
He looks ssssoooo BBADDASS!! ❤️
I am still looking forward to your mermaid doll family.
Still watching the video (will either make an added comment at the end or edit this one for more/proper feedback once I see the final result), but very excited by your spin on a male remodel! One thing that really grabbed me as you were chatting about the difference working on male versus female doll models was the pressure you put on yourself with female dolls to go pretty, that you tend not to do for male dolls. I don't know if you'd be interested or not but you might have fun with something in the vein of Yoshitaka Amano's approach to drawing men, or how guys are shown in the Final Fantasy series generally? There's room for very dramatic male beauty there. Sometimes slim male models in avant garde fashion do similar looks, or characters in certain science fiction (Dune, Jupiter Ascending, and The Hunger Games films came to mind). No pressure or obligation of course, and not all characters need to be pretty/cute--but it struck me as something you might find neat artistically so thought I'd share! :D
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!
He's very cool looking, the colors you used make him pop! I'd love to see your creative talents to make a praying mantis fairy!!! Maybe an insect fairy series!?!?
This series is on :D I have a few designs ready, just waiting for their turn in my busy schedule :) So be patient :)
He looks great !
As a helpful tip if you can use it cool water will make hot glued instantly set 😊 obviously it can't be used in every situation but it comes in handy sometimes 😉
Absolutely living for the hair
This Gentleman is amazing! Great addition omg!!!
He's amazing...you are so hard on yourself..your an amazing artist..I love your work.
I truly love this dude. He is amazing and I really do look forward to seeing more of your full male dolls. Looks like he is taking care of the babies and future generation well!
Honestly, my favorite part of his face is his lashes. They look very pretty and I like that they're white.
my dude looking shredded its nice to see some dudes for a change you did great
This doll is your very first male very good work.🐺
He looks Awesome! I think I'll call him Stinger the Hornet,
(Story)
Stinger may be a vicious Hornet fairy but deep down he still cares for his sister Waspette & his favorite cousin's Honey & Joy. He can be very protective around his family,
when three bandit's try to kidnapped his family & try to steal the royal honey. However they didn't knew a great consequence would unleash Stinger's wrath, he stung his
victim's and bring them to the Hornet hive, their skulls & bones were only found in the deepest part of the hive where no one would ever find, even though he tried his very best not
to unleash his inner beast inside but deep down he's still a Hornet & not even mother earth can change him or his entire colony's ways. Even though it was a horrible price to pay
his sister & cousin's still love him deeply very much, no matter hard he tried they will always love him till the end.
See you on your next video.💖
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.☺
