honestly, after seeing videos where people use 3d printers constantly and glue their clothes to manage very specific looks for clothing. your videos always feel so cozy. no big machines and expensive materials, just a good old monster high doll and a flawlessly executed concept. obviously, nothing against doll costumizers who started using different techniques, since their videos are still amazing and the dolls stunning, but something about a simple repaint and a fun outfit just warms my heart

I feel this way about Hextian he is very talented but it bothers me how that he never bother to actually learn to sew doll clothing over the years. Like dude you had plenty of time to be atleast decent by now. but he still doing hot glue messes with every detail being painted with crusty acrylic. Like the face and hair will be top notch and the clothes is bearly held together

i love that you always do research and find reference pictures when doing your PoC dolls it’s so endearing that you care and it shows

the heart blush, the heart eyes, the heart edges… she is precious. one of my favorite face ups.
