First of all: she ended up amazing! I envy your sculpting skills and the paint job is also flawless. I just saw one mistake. If you are shrinking the head you only soak it in the acetone for 2, max 3h (and let it dry for 24). This is called a fast shrinking method and it is recommended only when you just don't have time for the slow method. Slow shrinking method is when you soak your head for 48h and let it dry for the next 48. BUT! In slow shrinking method you use acetone SOLUTION, not a pure aceton. 9parts of aceton and 1part of water. Pure aceton can destroy or deform your head(just what happened to you) and that is why you only use it for a quick soak. If you already have four days for head shrinking - use the aceton and water solution. No deformations and no tears on your head -guarantied. Trust me - I am shrinking heads on all of my doll figurines :)

Finally Malenia is ready and I must say that the result is truly a joy for the eyes. You know, Emily, the thing I like most about you and your dolls is that there is clearly a real passion for what you do, and each subsequent job is more complex and refined than the previous one. Malenia is my favorite Elden ring boss, I love her design, her story, her elegant way of fighting and her voice. She is one of the most beautiful characters created by From Software, and your doll is a beautiful interpretation of the original. I admire your talent. Keep it up 😉

Malenia is my favorite character from elden ring. Her story is so tragic and yet beautiful! The doll looks amazing 🙏🏻

You may not enjoy sculpting but you are amazing at it! She is so gorgeously done and you captured all her details! I am going to say 56 hours

I’m not familiar with this character, but your details brought her to life! You are an artist and I learned a lot watching you.

What a great doll. The sculpting is amazing. This is one doll to be very proud of.x I'm going to 134 hours for the doll.xx

Im in awe and crying at the same time , cause i couldnt even imagine that the doll would be so beautiful😭😭🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰😍

me- oh my god, her face is beautiful me- oh my god, her hair is beautiful! me- oh my god, her sculpted details are BEAUTIFUL me- oh my god, her cape is BEAUTIFUL! me- oh my god, her helmet is BEAUTIFUL!!! SHE'S B E A U T I F U L!!!!!

WOW: what a fantastic artwork, my dear, WOWOWOW!! Please forgive my awful english, as an elder swiss woman, but You do such a breathtaking artwork, in EVERY part of creating this doll - the details are so endlessly adorable!! Thank You SO MUCH for all the joy I have, ALWAYS admiring Your wonderful talents, bringing- to- perfection so many DIFFERENT kinds of skills, watching ALL YOUR FANTASTIC ART !! May God bless and protect You and Your family - with Love: Babs

Do not focus on just one form of art. It is your wide range of skills that gives your dolls such incredibly beautiful details. I do not know this character, but this doll is gorgeous. You have a new follower in me. Bravo! I can't wait to see more from you.

I am always so blown away by your creativity and talents when you create a doll, but this is next level. So intricate and so well detailed from head to toe. The face, the dress, the cape, the armor, the helmet, everything is just truly amazing! This is easily 100 hours of work if not more. So impressive. Love all your work!

10/10 video and doll! 😊

Beautiful work! That helmet and sword alone are something else

This is amazing to watch and she’s so beautifully creates.Every single part of her has had so much love and attention put into her.I guesstimate it’s taken well into 100 hrs to creat this one.And I am for one glad to see all your amazing skills come into action in this Art Doll.you changed her face completely with cutting and shaving down parts you did not want prominent.That’s no easy job.Your sculpting was seamless and it looked as if she was always that way.The clothes and helmet were made beautiful and the patina effect on the helmet and sword was perfect.She’s a perfect example of an Art doll.One criticism I have .You forgot to put knickers on her.if you could not make any a short skirt under it would have covered up the gap.You made everything else realistic and I am sure the actress or cartoon had knickers(pants,underwear on) But she’s gorgeous non the less .I love her 🥰

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Love it! ❤️❤️❤️

Such an amazing doll! You really are one of the best doll transformers here on youtube

like i dont even know where to begin if i had to mention specifically what i like cause its just like, the whole thing, you know

I am guessing this took about 94 hours to do. There is so much detail and the tiny sculpts are fantastic. I loved watching this transformation.

I'm an Artist and I draw and paint and boy do I know about Perfection .I've been drawing most of my 61 yrs and every time I create something I always strive for perfection .Other people my like my work but if I don't then I know it has to be improved or fixed till I feel it's up to my standards .

Dear lord, that arm

I can tell this took a long time because of how your nail colors change through out the video. 😂 But seriously the sculpting and painting are beautiful, this doll was well worth the time

The attention to the details makes the results so incredibly, so intense, so excellent...

This doll is incredible, all the details are amazing…the several techniques you morph on this doll -fantastic-. The hours you need I can’t imagine but I think more than 90 hours are realistic. I fascinated from the prosthetic arm and leg and the filigrane details and patterns you gave this pieces. And the helmet “wow “ that blowed me away. And the golden pattern on the cape…..and …and …and . Thanks for sharing 🙏🥰😍

Just beautiful! I liked the faceup the most. It is amazing how you created the wounds. It looks realistic AND aesthetically pleasing at the same time!

You’re awesome! I love the fact that the costume of your dolls are not half ass like some other customizers who are only good in faceup but sucks at making clothes for their dolls. Also awesome sculpting and love the helmet.

i'm going to guess the same amount of time it takes people to beat her, 400 hours hahaha LOVE your work, the editing as well as the incredible detail you put into your sculpting and dress and painting, everything!! please keep sharing your wonderful creations!

I love the detail you put in, like noticing one arm was longer than the other? And making it detachable? So cool!

I can't even imagine how many hours went into this. 75? I was shocked when you said you don't enjoy the sculpting. The work was so detailed!

Looks amazing, I like to hear the joy in your voice as you work on your dolls. Thankyou for sharing your talent..

Wow. Just Wow. The amount of detail that went into this doll. My guess is at least 200 hours.

When people say: you should concentrate on one thing….As if it is a choice…I am just like you, a Jack of all trades. We are so curious about the world around us, that we could never only do one thing. I dont want to feel limited by only doing fx coloured pencils. No, i need to learn new things all the time. It is not a choice, it is just the way we work.♥️

Wow I am blown away by the details the whole piece from the beautiful embroidery on her cloak to the fancy metal work on body. You did such a wonderful job, and I hope you are proud of it. I think this is my favorite piece from you yet. Looking forward to seeing more in the future!

She's so good it looks like she could choose to move at any second!

I’m 15 min in and already know this doll will be epic!

Echt unglaublich was du daraus gemacht hast und ein Glück dass mir dieses Video vorgeschlagen wurde :) Man spürt die Leidenschaft !

Your work is absolutely stunning!! You deserve so many more like and views and subscribers!! ❤

I think a doll of Crisanta from blasphemous would be fantastic, love you work btw

LOL The head became handsome squidward after the acetone

One of my favorite doll repaints💜

All that beautiful hard work…I need more end results images and poses!!!! ❤

I think it took you 6 weeks to create this masterpiece

YASSSS

My guess is about 120 hours. She is OUTSTANDING!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Stunning!

So much beautiful detail!

Absolutely incredible!!!

This is so beautiful, her arm alone is a gorgeous work of art, so tiny and detailed.

Sculpting may not be your favourite part but damn you are fantastic at it. There would have to be over 200 hours of work in this surely.

I'm surprised you don't like sculpting, you are really talented at it!

You are so talented!

Your sculpting is so lovely!

Love, love it!!!!

sooo cool! so much work! best project yet

You are so talented 😍

Your art is incredible

I really love these kind of projects. I'm not capable of it. Lol. So I enjoy other people doing it. Those tiny details of the detachable hand is so awesome. And the face , thats disgusting. But in the good way 😂. Because of your painting skills. Love it 💖

She is just phenomenal!! One of the best dolls I have seen! Everything about is absolutely perfect!!

Gorgeous! You are so talented . Love the design and details.

Love all the work, the sculpt is amazing, the sewing part too 👍😊

I’m really impressed! The tiny details on this doll are so incredible!

I just found your channel and I have to say your skills are amazing.

this is absolutely insanely amazing. D:

The doll is amazing and your videos are fantastic. What a treat!

This is beyond words I’m so grateful you decided to share this with us, I was so excited and in awe the whole video watching you bring malenia to life, I was even telling my friends about you making this doll when you first teased that you were working on her, and I plan on sharing your video with them too. you did it perfectly, the details in her skin and prosthetics, the clothes her face and helmet everything is amazing! It’s so inspiring watching you create such beautiful dolls xx

You always have such an interesting choice of characters ❤️

i feel so relaxed and peaceful after watching your work. keep it up love

To me, making the cloths seems like the hardest part. My brian can't comprehend all the skill that goes into cutting, shaping, & sewing the seems to make a cohesive outfit that actually looks good. Sculpting is only moderately difficult & painting/makeup is easy for me. But I'd definitely fall short at making the cloths.

Great video

Потрясающе! Однозначно лайк и подписалась♥️

Oh my gosh - how have I only just discovered your channel?? 🤯 this is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! 😀 that has to be the most dainty, detailed and pristine sculpting I've ever seen 😭☺ You have a new subscriber ☺ I'd say this had to take at least 80-90 hours 🤔

She’s absolutely stunning! You’re sculpting skills are so incredible! I love your channel and can’t wait to see what your next project is going to be 🤗 Also, my guess is that it took between 110-120 hours for her

I find the timing of this doll is interesting too. Here, in The United States, it's almost Halloween. This Lady fits right in with the Spirit of the time of year.

So cool ❤️

I love watching your videos. It always feels like you went that extra step to do a character right even when I have no clue who said character even is. My guess is 67 hours by the way.

STUNNING - I know you said the sculpting is your least favorite part, but it is some of the best! I know how quickly hours can add up on an art project, I can't even really guess how much time you spent but I will take a shot - 80 hours?

This is incredible! So much detail and time! It must’ve been over 100 hours surely?

I'd say it took you about a month 1/2 to 2 months to finish Malenia. She is a beautiful creation. 💜💜💜😊☺ Great awetastic job! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Awesome

When that South Park episode aired we had a betting pool in the office to see who could guess who it was. We all lost 😂 Can I say the rot looks beautiful? Is that too weird? 🤔 PS your nails are spectacular and so is her arm ❤

I had to stunlock Malenia with my friend alternating the weapon art of Mohg's spear to kill her lol. Nice looking doll! Since I was the more ballzy one, I used a tombstone shield to prime her for the stunlockening, great times ( ,:

I love this.... I wish I was as talented as you....11/10.

Im going to guess somewhere in the region of 120 hours of work put into this doll, that is my prediction 😊

Hey ..Congrats!

I think saying that prefecting one skill is "boring" isn't something really fair to people who actuall do this. There are artisans and craftsmen who become masters in a specific skill and it's just as wonderful and creative as having a wide array of skills. Which, BTW, is amazing to have when making doll customisations - you certainly are masterful in it, but never look down on people who decide to master just one thing.

You should make the first mellenia from grandia 2 she’s beautiful and strong and insane 👍

Oh my Renaissance period she's Glorious, if I made Malenia I change the rot to blind scared eye's. My handmade comic She was born blind and the bright light of day hurts her but her brother still cares for her, she saved her brother from a vicious beast but a heavy price it claws her blind eyes thus scarring them and took her right arm. The brother begged an Metal Alchemist for help so the old women and her family forged her a new arm but sadly could do much help with her eyes Malenia said there was no need for new eyes, she can see peoples aura even with scarred eyes the blinding light of the sun doesn't hurt her anymore. See you on your next video. :D

Girl...honestyl... slay.

2 - 2.5 weeks!

Also over two weeks

Incredible job! If I can take you more like's, I do 100? No, 1000 likes! More like's for you! Why are they only 1.8 thousand? :(

Your details are amazing?

Now make "let me solo her" 😏

6 weeks and 100 work hours? (total guess)

Am I the only idiot here that wants her to make Let me solo her now?

2 weeks to make? 🙂

150 hours

You're amazing at that friend. I love your work ^^ If one day you want to collab feel free to hit me up :)

130 hours of work at least
