Wow!!! 6k likes already?! I honestly never though this video would reach that milestone so soon (I was thinking 5 years down the line 😂) But I heard you! Next in line for another print project: Ekko to complete Jinx's Diorama! (nomnom did a bonus model of Ekko to connect it to this Jinx so that's the one I got ) I have a lot of project already being worked on simultaneously but he will now join the "TO DO" roster 😁
Honestly I'm not one to comment on TH-cam videos, but as someone who has been playing League since 2013 and who fell in love with Arcane, it was a privilege to watch this video. Watching you take the time to research the character, her color palette, and just invest so much care into her figure really made me happy. To see someone show respect to something I hold dear and do it properly means a lot. Thanks so much for putting this out. I will definitely be sharing your post on Instagram. Looking forward to the well deserved 6k likes and the new Vi video.
Just for the record, I never watched Sailor Moon (or in this case, Arcane). I just really love your work and how perfectionist you are! It's always so satisfying and relaxing, and very fun!!
Avid 3d artist and painter here! It always drives me nuts when parts are divided with only size in mind instead of painting! I've had people say I go way overboard with parts splitting but I hate masking and love perfect lines between different colours. Your Powder turned out incredible, I love all the extra details you add like the glow effects.
I think your hair painting technique really exemplifies the east/west blend your style of painting brings to a western style figure! It's delicate translucent at the tips to the chunkier color layers in the roots. It's obviously an American style figure but you can see your anime painting background in the details. It's really cool! And the wet effect in the eyes is really chef's kiss! It looks like she's got tears in her eyes and there's anger and grief there! It's fantastic
I love that your solution to minor imperfections isn't just go back and try to print it perfectly. Makes me feel like I can actually do 3d printing without having to already know how to do it perfectly.
I paint minis for tabletop role-playing games a lot. And I got to say, I have subconsciously taken some tips from these videos to help me and my painting skills have gotten a LOT better!
Thanks for the thoughtful comment you just left on my channel. After you said you were a creator too i came here to check you out and jeesh you are super talented too. Keep up the great work and wishing you much success
As someone who does 32mm miniature painting with a brush, it's really interesting to see both macro scale, and airbrush work. I enjoyed watching this, thanks.
almost done with the video but i wanted to say it before i forgot by the end, please paint the ekko figure! the jinx figure is turning out soo well and if you were to paint ekko i'm sure you'd do him justice! and having more resources on how to paint dark skin is always helpful for the modeling community! (your past few been a huge help, i assume so at least given i don't paint myself)
Her Majesty Leona the Resin Queen has returned! This model is so gorgeous. I know of Jinx, but am not familiar with the franchise; Arcane/LoL, but have always loved her design. The end result looks fantastic. The reason I watch Leona, and not any other model painter is because of the care, the detail, the crazy amount of effort that Leona puts into her works. Plus, I love Sailor Moon, which is why I started watching in the first place.
I've been watching your channel for a good 3 maybe 4 years now, even got my mum watching you lol, but I very rarely comment on videos due to a weird form of anxiety around it, but Holy Heck this figure is insane, the amount of effort and detail you put in is incredible, even with the nightmare masking and hard to reach areas your skills shine through, I love the glow in the dark graffiti and her expression is fierce, I'm all ways so impressed by the detail you put in the faces and then I remember how small they really are and am even more impressed, you clearly love your work and take pride in what you do and I have the up most respect for you because of that, I'm sorry about what happened with your channel I can't even begin to imagine the stress that caused, but I truly believe your channel will take off again as you are not only a talented person you're also incredibly funny and just overall a pleasure to watch Sorry for such a long comment but I can't express how much I love your work, and can't wait to see what you do in the future P.S finger crossed for 6k likes as I'd love to see Ekko and VI to go along with Jinx
I've been waiting for this glorious video! The expression is so fierce on Jinx! You nailed this and I'm so happy that you got your channel back and let's keep you going forward with all the momentum and love you deserve! And super smart to custom make her tattoos with waterslide decals. I would have done the same thing.
I don't know anything about League or Arcane but I loved this and she turned out amazing !! That print quality is divine. So excited for the next one! Let's get to 6k likes!
You put in so much work for these! It blows my mind, the amount of detail you add to these already rather complex resin figures and 3D prints. I don't know Arcane or LoL that well, but I can still tell that this is probably the most well-painted figure for Jinx that exists.
Talk about making a comeback! Welcome back, Resin Queen (full title, Resin Queen Leona, first of her name, and Lady of the Masking. As always, such amazing work. I love the affect on the hair, as well as the tips and tricks you always share. ❤️ And thank you for your candid honesty and snark you always bring to your videos. Never change.
Whenever you print your own decals, ALWAYS seal the surface with a matt varnish. This will stop (in most cases) the ink bleeding when in contact with water. Outstanding as always.
So happy you're back! What a strong come-back it is! Beautifully done! I was worried when you didn't say anything about the tattoos, but then you swooped in and came up with an amazing way to add them on! You did such an amazing job.
I'd like to point out that while you call Arcane "american animation", the whole show was designed and animated by Fortiche, which is a french studio located in Paris. Arcane is so beautiful because of Fortiche! So let's not forget to praise our french animators ❤
I was going to comment on that, because french animation studios are not that well known compared to bug american studios. So having a french one pop up for such a studio with such a good animation, well I felt kinda sad that it was overlooked 8'D No hate on Leona, since Riot is american the mistake was easy (especially since well... She's not much into american animation from what I got in the video ^^)
Honestly your videos have made me consider making garage kits so I always appreciate your insight on what makes models easy to paint. As someone who’s only painted miniatures it’s really informative. Glad you got your channel back
This video is going to super helpful for my next project of doing a 3D printed figure. And to be honest you and your figures have been a inspiration for me to start painting figures. So thank you, and I am happy you are back.
Welcome back Resin Queen! I've missed you on twitch! I am all for spiritual Animes! I think the clear effect on the crystal was a good decision! It looks magical.
Amazing as always .. I neither an Anime fan nor a kit painter ,,I just enjoy great artists and their art .. You my dear are an amazing artist .. Your attention to detail is second to none .. I always admire your work.. And you make me laugh as well.. At 61 I just chuckle a lot while watching you ..
When the Masking section started, I busted up laughing because the music literally sounds like "Uh-oh! Uh uh uh-oh!" to me. Even the SOUNDTRACK fears for Leona's sanity :D
I personally love watching your videos! I enjoy watching you work and see how these figures/models come to live! I love how real you keep it on your channel because that's how life is in real life, it's not flowers and butterflies but chaos.
Damn. Fantastic! And I love your comment to Moms. I agree with you. I love this tragic character, and I am always astounded at your level of skill. You painted her perfectly.
I really like your pragmatic approach/attitude to 3D printing - using your skills to correct when it suits best and only reprinting when necessary. Saves time, money and resources. I love your process though, so relaxing to watch and really nice to have your authentic commentary whether its something positive or negative about your process or the model. Glad you're back!
If you end up doing more Arcane figures in the future, I'd suggest looking for the official model renders/reference sheets or concept art for color reference. Character reference sheets, per industry standard, are done without lighting effects or shading, specifically for the purpose of color reference. Some of them even come with color Swatches! That being said, she came out great! I applaud you for doing the best you could with what you had! 👍
Welcome back Your Highness! This vid was a whirlwind of of joy. I went from Ooh nice top to new printing toy to how the hell does she do that to Jinx looks amazing! And we can’t forget the forbidden mustard. My ADHD is overjoyed.
Yes, Leona, you beautiful genius! I always think about the same thing when watching videos; we should learn from other hobbies to level up our own. I watch a lot of different types of hobby videos, and while my own work isn't perfect, I do learn a lot of varying techniques from a lot of different sources. Whether or not you do garage kits, doll customizing (whether it be bjd, vinyl, or other), model terrain, mini figure customizing, etc, you can and WILL always learn new and unexpected things for your own area of expertise. For example, when watching anyone make a base for a custom doll or figure, there is SO much you can learn and implement from model terrain hobbyists. It's the same thing for any area of expertise in life, like how the sciences can learn completely revolutionary techniques from wholly unexpected sources. Everyone should be learning new things all the time! If you plan on doing any more 3D printed figures in the future, I bet you could watch some 3D modelling videos to learn how to separate figures yourself before you even print so you can compensate for any areas that need it that the original modeler didn't do. I look forward to your new videos SO much! Definitely in my very top tier of hobbyists I watch. I love how much attention to detail to do. Perfectionism in crafting is so important to me with the videos I watch. :) Thank you for the amazing content!
Such an awesome figure!!! I love how fierce the face came out! I got a little worried when you started at first because those brows be thick 😳LOL If you ever need a reason to paint any non anime or other type of figure, cant your reason be because you are the resin queen and you want to? 🙈
Leona: I'm expecting hardcore fans to come at me, 'Oh, you're doing it wrong!'... IDC this is my figure. I'm going to be painting it. Paint your own if you don't like my version. Me (a LoL and Jinx main player): Cool! An Arcane Jinx - Leona's Workshop Chroma Skin!
As an aspiring 3D artist, your points about how to separate the models for easier painting amused me because I too get frustrated painting some areas of 3d printed models and have been thinking that when I do sculpting, I will definitely be trying to separate it in ways that make it easier to paint.
Robbie rotten pants 🤣 definitely a fashion stance Started watching with mom and she was so interested in it i had to translate and explain what was going on, it looks so goooooddd
Holy heck this figure is INSANE. The level of craftsmanship and detail is just mindblowing. I also agree with your pet peeve about print lines! I would be so excited to see you do Ekko and Vi to go along with Jinx-y 😊
It was interesting watching how you approached dealing with 3d prints and your concerns with how they're cut. I would say that your concerns are very valid. Here's a couple of tips from my research into 3d printing - - There's quite a bit of resin left on a print after printing. This does come off during cleaning, but it will accumulate on the blades inside the wash and cure stations. This can be alleviated by having a few containers with cleaning solution in them, and giving the pieces a few quick rinses before going into the wash and cure. Secondly, if you drop your prints into hot water before curing, better placed supports will just peel off without as many nubs or pits. Hopefully future projects will be easier for you.
Stumbled across your channel. Love your work, love how witty and irreverent you are and mostly how knowledgeable you are and how you encourage folks not to be lazy with the prep 🤘🏼 gonna go look for your insta now too. Looking forward to following your painting.
Amazing work as always! Most sculptors release 2 print files a month with 2 or 3 options per file. Cutting and creating joint locations is time consuming, and frankly, most hobbyist aren't nearly as good as you are at painting and cleanup work. Basically, most people don't care about how files are broken up so long as it'll fit on their print bed. Most sculptors are trying to reach a tight deadline and know that people, in general, don't care. It sucks for artist like you who put in a tremendous amount of work to make everything look perfect, but most people don't bother cleaning support points on their prints, much less print lines before they start painting. I 3D sculpt and paint figures, so I know the pain of trying to cut models and the pain of painting around things that should have been cut. A few people are like you, and want the file cut up for ease of cleaning and painting, but most people are more pissed off that they have to fill gaps and glue things together. It's a fine line to walk as a sculptor.
This is my first time watching a video by leona, I’m really impressed by the extra effort pinning/sanding etc that others don’t do! It bothers me too haha
I can't get over how good this kit looks fully painted, just wow! The masking was insane, I was so worried about the pinstripes on her pants but those came out amazing, totally worth all of that time ^^ I'm in the market for a 3d printer so I'm going to keep this one bookmarked. I love seeing a review from someone who is using it the way I want to use it, so i appreciate your details on that. Thank you again for your wonderful videos, and as always, welcome back Resin Queen!
Check out Tabletop Time, Enchanterium, Moonlight Jewel and NerdForge (not 100% sure on this channel - they do a lot of modelling and lazer printer work) for resin printer users. I know Enchanterium have changed resin printers often.
I did a 3d printed figure as well, but it was a mini for a table to be played with during a game. It needed to withstand dice rolls and clumsy fingers! YOU BET YOUR ASS I MADE SURE IT WAS PINNED OR MAGNETIZED! Ugh. 3d printers, please, made room for these!
6:25 There are some main reasons that come to my mind from my experience. 1. UV resins have shrinkage factor. Different resins have different shrinkage. One might be 2%, while others might be 6 or 8%. 2. Many 3d artists don't make holes a bit larger than the pegs. They need tolerance to work well, a reasonable amount is 0.2mm or more. 3. Layer lines might also affect the size of the pegs and at these critical dimensions, size matters. 4. Some printers need to be accurate with their screen size and might need a calibration, printing a certain dimension cube, measuring it with a caliper and post-correcting the XYZ dimensions in order to fine-tune it, being as precise as possible. I just found your channel, super useful info, even for an experienced 3d modeler. Thanks for sharing!
The masking on this kit was indeed painful to watch, but educational as hell. And hey, look at the bright side, no backplate! I love the final look and Jinx is such a complex character that you've definitely given justice. I would love to see your version of Echo, his color pallette is one of my favorites, and Vi too!
I had been wondering how to pin things in 3d prints. Thanks for the great idea of pouring in regular resin. I was going through the stages of grief when I was thinking I would have to make a casting from 3d prints on each model. Also makes it feel more premium because of added weight.
Saw the notification of this video, and I pressed right away and now excited for this video. I may never have played whatever game this figure is in, but I really love people like you, Leona, making them regardless.
There is a game, but also a Netflix show if you're more interested in watching something. Its a really creative world (though Jinx herself is my least favorite part of the show)
@Becca I see. But yeah, I pretty much love people like Leona paintings figures from shows and games. It's fun to watch. I've seen her playlist of the Sailor moon figures she did. I loved the old-school Sailor Moon shows and movies.
Welcome back, Resin Queen! Been really excited about this video ever since you said Elegoo had sent the printer. I knew you'd be upfront and honest about it's usability for kits and kit painting and I'm so happy to hear you liked it! Motivates me to save money for one of my own (and I promise to purchase through your affiliate link).
Loved this figure, you did a great job! I feel like this just brought us nearer a feature where you paint a kit of a Winx fairy in their Enchantix form 🧐. I hope someday there will be a kit worthy of your time and handmanship!
I absolutely loveeee what you did with the base in terms of adding the goop and the grafitti! I hadn't even thought of it and it really livens up the base! I'm not at all a digital sculptor but I do hope to learn in the future and it's very interesting to hear you explain what you run in to as a painter! Both ease-of-painting wise and with stuff like the fabric on the pants. All incredible food for thought. Getting to watch you work has been a treat as always!! thank you for the hard work and another incredible model painted!
I was actually talking with my husbado about ur videos. Am so in love with ur work. Ur my artist crush ❤️ thus week Am going to have my shoulder surgery so am gonna stay and watch ur videos and paint a lot of architecture art and landscape to relax. So now, Am busy because I love & play LoL and specially jinx so, this is my favorite video now.
Your videos are always so helpful. I have so many of NomNom 3d files and your videos where like the Holy Grail for me, so my figures can look like garage kits. And now this videos gave me even more tips, cause we are starting with the exact same base. Sending all ❤️ to the Resin Queen
She looks SO GOOD!!! Every bit of detail absolutely has paid off one hundred fold. Here's to recouping your subscriber count and a much smoother 2023 moving forwards! Super crossing my fingers 6k is hit so we can see your Vi 👀
Moonlight Jewel use Elegoo printers too and it's just amazing to see what their printers can do. Like you i was shocked when i see that there's barely no print marks left. I'm so happy to see another video of you, and woah the end result is just stunning ! ♥♥♥
Good to have you back Leona! Didn't watch yet Arcane,but I knew I will get your usual high quality and beautiful work in this video. She looks stunning! I also love the little insides that you give to us of your working process.
I don't know Jinx's character, I don't know anything about Arcane, but if you're working on it, regardless if what it is, I'm watching it! My own kits (yes, 2, because I'm a collector through and through and it's a two-set kit) just arrived and I'm so psyched to get started on getting started (get the supplies, paints, masking tape and glue, and, and, and...), all thanks to you!
comme ting for algorithm cause im dead sure youtube is not gonna gas this one up without our communal efforts. WELCOME BACK IM SO HAPPY YOU GOT YOUR CHANNEL BACK
Welcome back! What an incredible note to return on. Jinx holds a special place in my heart as my very first main in the LOL game. I did eventually move on to some other incredible characters as I transitioned into bottom lane support (not limited to Zyra, Thresh, and Lulu, all very cool characters), but I will always remember Jinx as the one who started it all. You have done such an incredible job with bringing her to life, and I definitely can't wait to see what else you create this year.
so good to see you back! I'm looking to get into making my own sculpts for printing and painting personal projects, and your insights are really great!
As someone who has never watched Arcane, nor played LoL, I am still amazed by your work. It turned out stunning, as always! Sending much love and support, especially after this hacking incident. I wish you all the best and hope your channel recovers quickly!
Talk about making a comeback! Welcome back, Resin Queen (full title, Resin Queen Leona, first of her name, and Lady of the Masking). As always, such amazing work. I love the affect on the hair, as well as the tips and tricks you always share. ❤️ And thank you for your candid honesty and snark you always bring to your videos. Never change.
@@leonasworkshop Your masking skills are just insane and precise. It shows great dedication to your craft, and your work reflects that dedication with how beautiful and detailed it is. Thank you for always sharing it with us.
@@leonasworkshop deberías poner los hashtag de #arcane y #lol y similares, para tener más alcance. PD: me encantó tu video, y espero con ansias los siguientes proyectos ❤fuerza reina❤
Wow!!! 6k likes already?! I honestly never though this video would reach that milestone so soon (I was thinking 5 years down the line 😂) But I heard you!

I love the mustard stage. It’s so satisfying to see your connections go from wiggly to stable af. ❤
The amount of time, patience, and attention to details in your art..... nothing but respect!!!!!
Every model you paint turns out absolutely stunning!

absolutely nothing to do with the figure but your outfit at the beginning is slaying so hard
I am subscribed with all notifications on and I still didn’t get notified! 🤦🏾♀️
But I’m here now and loving your work as always.
Omg siii!!!! Estaría brutal si hicieras a Eco! Seria brutal ver en como pintarias personajes de color piel más oscura 😍😍😍
We love your work, and we love you, Resin Queen!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
I snickered so hard at the LGR woodgrain, Bless your heart. Love that guy.
Talk about making a comeback! Welcome back, Resin Queen (full title, Resin Queen Leona, first of her name, and Lady of the Masking.
As always, such amazing work. I love the affect on the hair, as well as the tips and tricks you always share. ❤️ And thank you for your candid honesty and snark you always bring to your videos. Never change.
Its always such a treat to watch you put together and paint beautiful figures! And omggg I hope to see ekko and vi! They're my absolute favs!
Great job as always. I had a good laugh when I saw Clint pop up during the wood-grain bit.
Whenever you print your own decals, ALWAYS seal the surface with a matt varnish. This will stop (in most cases) the ink bleeding when in contact with water. Outstanding as always.
That's what I did but I guess I cut way too close to the ink and opened it up 😅
So happy you're back! What a strong come-back it is!
Beautifully done! I was worried when you didn't say anything about the tattoos, but then you swooped in and came up with an amazing way to add them on! You did such an amazing job.

super helpful tips especially on anticipating how the model will be painted in real-life!

I look forward to your new videos SO much! Definitely in my very top tier of hobbyists I watch. I love how much attention to detail to do. Perfectionism in crafting is so important to me with the videos I watch. :) Thank you for the amazing content!
Such an awesome figure!!! I love how fierce the face came out! I got a little worried when you started at first because those brows be thick 😳LOL
If you ever need a reason to paint any non anime or other type of figure, cant your reason be because you are the resin queen and you want to? 🙈
Leona: I'm expecting hardcore fans to come at me, 'Oh, you're doing it wrong!'... IDC this is my figure. I'm going to be painting it. Paint your own if you don't like my version.
Me (a LoL and Jinx main player): Cool! An Arcane Jinx - Leona's Workshop Chroma Skin!
As an aspiring 3D artist, your points about how to separate the models for easier painting amused me because I too get frustrated painting some areas of 3d printed models and have been thinking that when I do sculpting, I will definitely be trying to separate it in ways that make it easier to paint.
So glad for your new video! Been watching the others a thousand times!! ❤❤❤ this Jinx was great!! Totally amazing
Robbie rotten pants 🤣 definitely a fashion stance
Started watching with mom and she was so interested in it i had to translate and explain what was going on, it looks so goooooddd
Holy heck this figure is INSANE. The level of craftsmanship and detail is just mindblowing. I also agree with your pet peeve about print lines! I would be so excited to see you do Ekko and Vi to go along with Jinx-y 😊
It was interesting watching how you approached dealing with 3d prints and your concerns with how they're cut. I would say that your concerns are very valid.
Here's a couple of tips from my research into 3d printing - - There's quite a bit of resin left on a print after printing. This does come off during cleaning, but it will accumulate on the blades inside the wash and cure stations. This can be alleviated by having a few containers with cleaning solution in them, and giving the pieces a few quick rinses before going into the wash and cure.
Secondly, if you drop your prints into hot water before curing, better placed supports will just peel off without as many nubs or pits.
Hopefully future projects will be easier for you.
Stumbled across your channel. Love your work, love how witty and irreverent you are and mostly how knowledgeable you are and how you encourage folks not to be lazy with the prep 🤘🏼 gonna go look for your insta now too. Looking forward to following your painting.
you have SO much patience. Im so glad you gave this a try! jinx is my favorite character. You have my vote for Echo
Amazing work as always! Most sculptors release 2 print files a month with 2 or 3 options per file. Cutting and creating joint locations is time consuming, and frankly, most hobbyist aren't nearly as good as you are at painting and cleanup work. Basically, most people don't care about how files are broken up so long as it'll fit on their print bed. Most sculptors are trying to reach a tight deadline and know that people, in general, don't care. It sucks for artist like you who put in a tremendous amount of work to make everything look perfect, but most people don't bother cleaning support points on their prints, much less print lines before they start painting. I 3D sculpt and paint figures, so I know the pain of trying to cut models and the pain of painting around things that should have been cut. A few people are like you, and want the file cut up for ease of cleaning and painting, but most people are more pissed off that they have to fill gaps and glue things together. It's a fine line to walk as a sculptor.
This is my first time watching a video by leona, I’m really impressed by the extra effort pinning/sanding etc that others don’t do! It bothers me too haha
Oh my god, finally some good of youtube recommendations! They recommended you back to me! Best thing they did EVER. Welcome back and thank you!
I can't get over how good this kit looks fully painted, just wow! The masking was insane, I was so worried about the pinstripes on her pants but those came out amazing, totally worth all of that time ^^
I'm in the market for a 3d printer so I'm going to keep this one bookmarked. I love seeing a review from someone who is using it the way I want to use it, so i appreciate your details on that.
Thank you again for your wonderful videos, and as always, welcome back Resin Queen!
Check out Tabletop Time, Enchanterium, Moonlight Jewel and NerdForge (not 100% sure on this channel - they do a lot of modelling and lazer printer work) for resin printer users. I know Enchanterium have changed resin printers often.
I did a 3d printed figure as well, but it was a mini for a table to be played with during a game. It needed to withstand dice rolls and clumsy fingers! YOU BET YOUR ASS I MADE SURE IT WAS PINNED OR MAGNETIZED! Ugh. 3d printers, please, made room for these!
Like #900 y'all! I'm so happy to see you back in action and kickin' resin a**! 😄🥰
6:25 There are some main reasons that come to my mind from my experience.
1. UV resins have shrinkage factor. Different resins have different shrinkage. One might be 2%, while others might be 6 or 8%.
2. Many 3d artists don't make holes a bit larger than the pegs. They need tolerance to work well, a reasonable amount is 0.2mm or more.
3. Layer lines might also affect the size of the pegs and at these critical dimensions, size matters.
4. Some printers need to be accurate with their screen size and might need a calibration, printing a certain dimension cube, measuring it with a caliper and post-correcting the XYZ dimensions in order to fine-tune it, being as precise as possible.
I just found your channel, super useful info, even for an experienced 3d modeler. Thanks for sharing!
The masking on this kit was indeed painful to watch, but educational as hell. And hey, look at the bright side, no backplate!
I love the final look and Jinx is such a complex character that you've definitely given justice. I would love to see your version of Echo, his color pallette is one of my favorites, and Vi too!
I had been wondering how to pin things in 3d prints. Thanks for the great idea of pouring in regular resin. I was going through the stages of grief when I was thinking I would have to make a casting from 3d prints on each model. Also makes it feel more premium because of added weight.
Saw the notification of this video, and I pressed right away and now excited for this video. I may never have played whatever game this figure is in, but I really love people like you, Leona, making them regardless.
There is a game, but also a Netflix show if you're more interested in watching something. Its a really creative world (though Jinx herself is my least favorite part of the show)
@Becca I see. But yeah, I pretty much love people like Leona paintings figures from shows and games. It's fun to watch. I've seen her playlist of the Sailor moon figures she did. I loved the old-school Sailor Moon shows and movies.
Welcome back, Resin Queen! Been really excited about this video ever since you said Elegoo had sent the printer. I knew you'd be upfront and honest about it's usability for kits and kit painting and I'm so happy to hear you liked it! Motivates me to save money for one of my own (and I promise to purchase through your affiliate link).
Yesssss to your comment on 3D-Printing videos. Who likes their models with printlines on seamlines. I bothers me so much, too.
Jinx is absolutely perfect! You did an amazing job on her! Love love love !!!!
Loved this figure, you did a great job!
I feel like this just brought us nearer a feature where you paint a kit of a Winx fairy in their Enchantix form 🧐.
I hope someday there will be a kit worthy of your time and handmanship!
Clint from LGR popping up when you said woodgrain was everything 🤣🤣🤣
Omg, seeing you paint Echo would be amazing!
AAAHHHHH!!! So beautiful! I love the expression you gave her!
She looks awesome! I'm so glad you got your channel back!
So excited to see you up and back in business! im also excited to see how the 3d model pans out !!
I absolutely loveeee what you did with the base in terms of adding the goop and the grafitti! I hadn't even thought of it and it really livens up the base! I'm not at all a digital sculptor but I do hope to learn in the future and it's very interesting to hear you explain what you run in to as a painter! Both ease-of-painting wise and with stuff like the fabric on the pants. All incredible food for thought.
Getting to watch you work has been a treat as always!! thank you for the hard work and another incredible model painted!
I was actually talking with my husbado about ur videos. Am so in love with ur work. Ur my artist crush ❤️ thus week Am going to have my shoulder surgery so am gonna stay and watch ur videos and paint a lot of architecture art and landscape to relax. So now, Am busy because I love & play LoL and specially jinx so, this is my favorite video now.
I can’t believe that was 3d printed cause it looks really amazing, great job as always
Your videos are always so helpful. I have so many of NomNom 3d files and your videos where like the Holy Grail for me, so my figures can look like garage kits. And now this videos gave me even more tips, cause we are starting with the exact same base. Sending all ❤️ to the Resin Queen
She looks SO GOOD!!! Every bit of detail absolutely has paid off one hundred fold. Here's to recouping your subscriber count and a much smoother 2023 moving forwards! Super crossing my fingers 6k is hit so we can see your Vi 👀
Moonlight Jewel use Elegoo printers too and it's just amazing to see what their printers can do.
Like you i was shocked when i see that there's barely no print marks left.
I'm so happy to see another video of you, and woah the end result is just stunning ! ♥♥♥
Good to have you back Leona! Didn't watch yet Arcane,but I knew I will get your usual high quality and beautiful work in this video. She looks stunning! I also love the little insides that you give to us of your working process.
She came out beautifully! And welcome back!
I hope these videos do well for you and get your channel back on track! Welcome back.
welcome back! i'm so excited to see this video! Jinx turned out fantastic.
Hay ... Que bonito tu taller. Gracias por compartir tus vídeos.
You deserve the world! Fingers crossed everyone finds you again. Till then, I'd love to see you do do Echo!
it looks fantastic! awesome work, Jinx is such a cool character.
Yay! I’m happy to see you back in your element and doing well! Awesome!
I don't know Jinx's character, I don't know anything about Arcane, but if you're working on it, regardless if what it is, I'm watching it! My own kits (yes, 2, because I'm a collector through and through and it's a two-set kit) just arrived and I'm so psyched to get started on getting started (get the supplies, paints, masking tape and glue, and, and, and...), all thanks to you!
Your video and the Lilith one have taught me so damn much, especially since I just bought an airbrush. Subscribed. You rock. 😺
I'm so glad you got your channel back! I hope you've been able to recover somewhat smoothly after the waiting game that was getting it back
comme ting for algorithm cause im dead sure youtube is not gonna gas this one up without our communal efforts. WELCOME BACK IM SO HAPPY YOU GOT YOUR CHANNEL BACK
Nicely done on Jinx, see you next time.
Leona: yeah i had a few mistakes here.
Me : eh Happy Accidents.
Those crystals looked cool in the end
Lmaooo the LGR reference with the wood grain 😂😂😂
Welcome back! What an incredible note to return on. Jinx holds a special place in my heart as my very first main in the LOL game. I did eventually move on to some other incredible characters as I transitioned into bottom lane support (not limited to Zyra, Thresh, and Lulu, all very cool characters), but I will always remember Jinx as the one who started it all. You have done such an incredible job with bringing her to life, and I definitely can't wait to see what else you create this year.
so good to see you back! I'm looking to get into making my own sculpts for printing and painting personal projects, and your insights are really great!
As someone who has never watched Arcane, nor played LoL, I am still amazed by your work. It turned out stunning, as always!
Sending much love and support, especially after this hacking incident. I wish you all the best and hope your channel recovers quickly!
Talk about making a comeback! Welcome back, Resin Queen (full title, Resin Queen Leona, first of her name, and Lady of the Masking).
As always, such amazing work. I love the affect on the hair, as well as the tips and tricks you always share. ❤️ And thank you for your candid honesty and snark you always bring to your videos. Never change.
Best comment 😂 lady of the masking killed me!! 💀🤣
@@leonasworkshop Your masking skills are just insane and precise. It shows great dedication to your craft, and your work reflects that dedication with how beautiful and detailed it is. Thank you for always sharing it with us.
@@leonasworkshop deberías poner los hashtag de #arcane y #lol y similares, para tener más alcance.
PD: me encantó tu video, y espero con ansias los siguientes proyectos ❤fuerza reina❤
So good, I know it was hard and take you a LOT of time, but it is so satisfying.
