"So here it is: My first mermaid!"
**Presents masterpiece**
Aaaaaw ^_^ thank you!
Without hair, she looks like an aquatic Nosferatu! I love it 💜
This exactly! :)
Exactly what I was thinking as well
I was just about to post that her face is giving me major Nosferatu vibes ! ;)

@@LeFouGalloisMe too. Love it ❤
Okay, please think about how cool a creepy sexy angler fish mermaid would be, the potential with a led in her lamp, the faceup with beautiful ethereal features, creepy dark eyes, and those scary teeth!!!!! Also, I am in LOVE with this face up. Her eyes are just breathtaking. And the fins 😭 the movement in them is just gorgeous.
This may be my favorite.
She’s so incredible! I love the minimalist colour story and all the fins are so beautiful and create so much movement 🤍 wonderful job!!
Once again: Thank you so much
This custom seriously reminds me of a mermaid version of Dollightful's Banshee doll. Its so effortlessly creepy but still hauntingly beautiful in a way
It’s probably because of the hair :P I really love that doll and all Dollightfull’s halloween creations :)
That pose u made at the beginning lifting her hands up made her look like a ballerina would be amazing to see you make a creepy ballerina 😍😍
maybe some day :) it is a good idea :)
She looks amazing! I love that she has the gentle and soft vibe, but at the same time she's probably pretty effing venomous and dangerous! 😍 I absolutely ADORE her! ❤️✨
The fact she started 7 months ago on utube and already has 18k subscribers… she 100% deserves them!! This is absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much! :) It is so heartwarming to hear that ^_^
@@CatmeleonStudio it’s amazing!
She's so stunning! I absolutely love these kinds of creepness. A wonderful creature.
I have a name and it is Loki
We are opposite
Catmeleon has become my favourite doll alteration channel. I love her darker work. I'm way more interested in Catmeleons darker creations than the rainbow explosion of other creators. Though they do make beautiful pieces, Catmeleon is more my own personal style. Thank you Catmeleon for all your beautiful and creative remakes. I hope your channel gets more recognition. Luv ya work hun. Always like the video before I even watch it because I just know it will be awesome. You are very talented. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. 💕💞💖💓💗
There are a few creepy dolls over at dollightful’s channel but I am totally with you on the other channels being an explosion of rainbows and glitter
@@unmemorable_weirdo Ikr? The other channels become real interesting around Halloween because that's usually the only time they create darker creations.
Your Creep Creator is here to save the day! :P XD jk - I do love cuter dolls but dark ones are what I am definitely lured to... even if I do not plan on this XD
@@CatmeleonStudio your cute ones are amazing too, though! Like the new pumpkin fairy is very cute without being a rainbow explosion.
(The rainbow explosions aren't bad either though.)
Rainbow explosions aren't a bad thing. It's their style and we all have our own styles. I do prefer catmelons, but like dollightful for example, she makes amazing dolls too. Some are just really colorful and cute.
This is a beautiful doll! Somehow I picture her swimming around at the very bottom of the sea, pale from the total lack of sunlight and mostly navigating through the feel of her hands and fins (instead of her eyes since it’s so dark down there)
I can see her that way too! ^_^
To be honest, the first time I watched a video of your creation I didn’t understand why you kept it “naked”. But now I’m so obsessed and I find them so pretty and clothes would definitely ruin the beauty for natural looking creatures! ❤🔥👑
Mermaids were often associated with peril and this mermaid captures that with finesse. She looks alluring, but also really dangerous. One of the best Mermay interpretations that I have seen, and the competition is really stiff!
Oh my, thanks ^_^ Glad that I managed to keep her on the more "unique" side :) For me mermaids were always a little spooky and dangerous so I really wanted to show that creepiness in this one :)
Wow, she really looks like she’s in water, just wow 😮
You could sculpt a coral crown directly on her head if you make a bald mermaid! Love all your work. Your faces are so intricate and full of emotion. Call it creepy, beautiful, or both!
That would be a nice idea :)
Pinky orange or orangy pink is called peachy!
Absolutely amazing work, I’ve only found your channel, and this is breathtaking
i love your art style, it gives me serious coraline vibes (especially the doll’s eyes) and i am here for it
I love Coraline
Amongst all the mermaid dolls I have seen, she is my favorite now. She really has that edge and, practically stands out in all possible ways. Her subdued color scheme itself tells a story and, you just can't stop looking at her wanting to know what more can it tell you.
Personally, she would've rocked it without the hair but her end result is stunning in its own way. What a MerMay treat! 💙💙💙
So happy that you like her! And I think the same about the hair :) I don't know why my recent dolls started to look so good bald XD
@@CatmeleonStudio I guess their face-ups are so good, hair is just an accessory. 😁
I really like the ethereal feel to this mermaid. It almost tells a story that they had to move deeper for their safety and it effected their appearances.
Also it gives me water dragon / river spirit vibes as well. Very beautiful and very eerie (in the best way).
Water dragon.... that would be a cool concept for a little bit creepy doll :)
Przepiękna! Idealne połączenie upiornego klimatu z podwodną elegancją. Włosy wyszły piękne, przypominają mi płomień albo kwiat i rzeczywiście wyglądają bardzo "płynąco". Wspaniała robota!
Strasznie się cieszę, że się Wam podoba 😊 Wasze syrenki obejrzałam przynajmniej po dwa razy każdą 😜
I’m 100% obsessed with your art! I love how you range from whimsical, delicate, light, sweet, lovely to the beautifully dark, sexy, and gory styles…! You’re a TRUE MASTER at this craft! My favorite part about it all is that they all have a complex story behind them that’s what told simply through a glance.
Ideas:
La Llerona, Bloody Marry, Disney gone wrong (trending in makeup), phobias personified (trending), more animal splices, a whole demented or magical family!
Take care of your hands! Just how much times did you work with thermoplastic to be used to blisters?
But amazing artwork as always! You fully embraced your creepy vibes, it really looks like those blind deep sea fishes 💖
Sounds painfull but your Hands are getting used to the heat pretty quickly ;) I'm a Cosplayer and my big Armorbuilds are mostly Thermoplastic, I can handle that stuff easily ^^" But I agree - there are special gloves to work with (and keep your hands save)
@@BlackCyBiene I see. Well, it isn't a reason not to be careful!
No worries :) It is nothing that wont heal in a day or so :) I am perfectly aware of how hot the worbla can be so I am dealing with it as careful as I can. As @BlackCyBiene said - it is kinda basic material for cosplayers and I spend several years creating cosplays and photoshoot outfits from it :) And I do say it to everyone else: be careful - it is hot! :) PS: as for the gloves - I can't work in rubber/latex/nitrile gloves... I just can't imagine sculpting in thick heat protective ones....
Oh man, my boyfriend caught a glance and said “eww what is that?!’ when her face popped up... you know you did something right! Your channel will totally blow up soon... your work is great. I’d love if you could share some of the special FX makeup you’ve done before covid!
Thank you ^_^ Maybe one day I will make a video about some other crafting/art techniques that I know (or I will try to learn) :) We will see if more people will be interested in it ^_^ Right now you can see some of my other works on my instagram :)
@@CatmeleonStudio just gave you a follow!
She’s Gorgeous, I think maybe next year you can do one in black to go with this one! But she’s amazing! Go for the one next year please! I love creepy, an I think you’d rock a black an red one!💕
THIS 👏🏻 IS👏🏻 ART 👏🏻
I love when she says "works as a charm" instead of "worked like a charm" her accent is so cute! ❤😂
OMG it's the first time that I see your work, it's amazing :o !!! Really good job and definitly YES for white hair :D !!
Thank you so much! It is so nice to hear that, especially from a customizer like you! 🥰
I love your dolls. You're the first Doll creator that I actually enjoy watching. You make everything dark and creepy and your own style. I love that about your dolls. The whole rainbow stuff from other creators gave me headaches, but your dark and creepy stuff is just what I need. Good job, and the doll looks fantastic! Love how you made her look so cool. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you
I too am a great fan & I agree that other people's creations aren't anywhere near her style. So I have asked her for a book with her work & some merchandise? If you did the same she might look into it ? Peace James
Defiantly loving the dark creepieness….the other artist “ chirpy cheerful” creations just don’t do it for me.
I'm so happy to see this upload! Thank you!
she turned out so pretty!!! the pink ombre on the fins and hair is beautiful, and the light color palette really makes the dark details on the face pop. you really nailed the creepy but captivating vibe that sirens have!
Thank you!
I love the way you casually use thermoplastic and epoxy. I’m SURE your take all precautions. It just looks so slick . I think your creations are sheer gorgeousness in a small doll
Yeah - I'm trying to be as careful as I can :) But I still ending up with some blisters from hot worbla from time to time :P
Wow, I LOVE this. I am so glad you went with the white and pink ombre hair. Sea creatures of the deep are often bleached white from lack of sun. This is so inspiring!
Making the first ear is amazing, but being able to exactly duplicate it is a talent all on its own!
Marina bychkova vibes in the face. Absolutely love it.
Ive always loved creepy mermaid designs. Her fins were done especially well in my opinion
She's so hauntingly beautiful. Her color scheme and long wavy fins make her look like a ghost. If I saw her in the water, I would be frozen in awe and fear. You did a fantastic job!
Thank you so much ^_^
I love that you’re willing to share your mistakes and when you’re not happy with the results. It’s encouraging to the rest of us that it’s okay to make mistakes, but to keep trying! Thank you for sharing your gift! Your dolls are wonderful and I love watching your creative process!
I just found your channel today and I really love it. It gives me that eerie vibe that I look for in doll creations. I love how your dolls are more sculptural and less focused on posing and motion. I absolutely adore the concept of a deep sea mermaid that rarely sees the sun.
But I do personally think the black hair would have been a better choice, without the need for black detailing or added color. The black gave it contrast and pop that the white hair seems to lack for me. I also think that keeping the hands and arms clear would have been an amazing concept as well. It would give it an almost ghostly vibe, and with the right lighting could have even glown like bioluminescent fish do in the deep ocean.
Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you. I am thinking of my fantasy creatures like they were animals living somewhere in their habitats. The concept needs to work as a whole. Like with a horse: the tale's color needs to match the mane's color. If something is really off - I wont be happy with the outcome. But if you enjoyed the contrast of pale skin and dark hair better - I recommend my Dark Valentine's video ^_^
She's like one of those sea creatures that lives in the darkest depths of the sea that have no color and are always freaky looking. Great job!🏆
I’ve just discovered your channel and all of your customs are so gorgeous and detailed. I love that you share the mistakes as well, so much social media is fake perfection, it’s reassuring to see you having problems but finding ways around them.
Very beautiful work❤👍👏
Unbelievably beautiful work! You are an incredible artist!
Incredible. I love love mermaids. Just gorgeous.
11:51 my stomach growled perfectly right before the beat dropped again. also love the mermaid!
I love how you'r doll's face up always looks like it came out of a comic book its so unique
I like the Lionfish mermaid more but this one is still outstanding! And it is definitely creepy. The scales add an unnerving sickly feeling to it. I think it is a disease called Dropsy, it causes to the scale to stick out. But I think what really makes her creepy are her eyes. They are the white souless eyes of deep ocean fish. The creepy factor is very high. Well done!
Thank you so much :) Compare her tail look to the disease - pretty cool! Love the idea and I definitely see what you are talking about :) Glad that you like her and my Lionfish Mermaid!
spectra was my favorite and seeing her face sculpt without the paint made me realise how gorgeous she really is, im surprised she's not used more often
Yes, she is a beauty :)
compared to the videos she produced lately to this video, there is definitely a noticeable improvement of quality in terms of the workstation and some of her tools, but her strive for perfection and attention to anatomy are the same as ever. Everything needs to be perfect or else she won't make a video of it. Chef's kiss
I loved her with out hair. A little more alien looking. Your work is so beautiful.
She's very well done! With all the creepiness of under the sea thrills!
this doll is beyond lovely, She reminds me of bleached coral. like she'd look right at home among it, sad and ethereal.
Yes! That is why I made some for her stand :) Thank you very much and I am happy that you like her :)
Wow! Like you my first choice would have been the black hair,but I am glad you changer it’s now.That face paint is Gorgeous!..I think all the modifications and sculpting you did on her,simply amazing ,your so good at this.I do like the hair and you using two types of hair material is well explained and in the years watching these dolls being created I have noticed the yarn is far easier to shape and holds the shape much better than the slippery nylon etc.Now I am going to give my honest opinion on this one.This is the most stunning and beautiful mermaid I have seen yet made on CZcams. In other words your talent is off the charts.She looks just as I would imagine a mermaid too look.I also like that you freeze them and put them onto custom stands.It makes them look more realistic and less doll like.ILOVE!,LOVE!this Art Doll🥰
Thank you so much for this comment! I am so happy you like her :) It gives me an instant urge to create another one :D And yes - I am so sad that you need to chose between length and shape with the hairstyles :/ maybe alpaca's fibers are longer then acrylic ones.... idk.... they are not that easy to get in Poland unfortunately :/
This turned out really gorgeous!! Has a wonderful sense of motion, and I do think the choice to go with white/rose hair was a good call. It makes the black around her eyes, gills, and fingers pop more and makes it easier to catch all the details.
Feel free to disregard this of course, but when you mentioned wanting to try a creepy black haired siren in the future it got me thinking about how different materials behaved through the process for you. One possible path could be an oil slick mermaid if you wanted to have the very long, hanging hair and build a sense of weight/slickness/unnatural movement? There are a LOT of directions you can go and your concepts are stellar, this just crossed my mind so figured I'd mention in case you find it interesting.
Thanks for sharing your work, it's seriously phenomenal and this is one of my favorite doll repaints!
Thank YOU for sharing your idea with me! :) This is a really cool concept and would go great with black long hair :) I will definitely think about it next MerMay ^_^
You are one of my favorite creaters. So much talent! You are the first artist who has made me seriously consider buying a doll😍
So happy to hear that! ^_^
The busy background makes it really hard to focus on just the doll. I would love to see more of your videos with just a black background because your work is absolutely incredible!!!!!!
Your painting and blending could put me right to sleep,in the best way possible. I really love your videos and can't wait to watch more of them!!
Your dolls are amazing. You deserve so much more recognition and followers. I honestly believe your doll repaints are the best on the tube. You are just so talented.
OMG thank you so much! ^_^
Super beautiful 🧜♀️
Wow
You really captured the creepiness with this one!
This is out this world! Amazing as always! Love your works!
I just love LOVE your doll designs! I love your creepy designs so much!
Omg!!
At 12min mark and finished with the head, i got the impression of a ghost girl.
If you haven't made one, consider a ghost girl, beautiful but scary and a little sad at the same time.
Love the eyes on this one in particular.
Amazing work.
It's so creepy I love this so much!!!!❤💕
I love how everything you made has a tint of creepy to it
All of the hard work paid off. She's stunning.
I got an idea for ya, cause this was an absolute masterpiece. An even deeper abyss level mermaid, maybe even Lovecraft inspired? And has bioluminescent glowing lights like many deep abyss level sea creatures, and she looks creepier due to being from a deeper sea level
I loved the way she looked with&without hair! This doll is really a piece of art!
Thank you :)
This is amazing. She's stunning. So much talent here!
Beautiful and otherworldly! She reminds me of ghost sharks. She'd be bioluminescent with really soft bones and translucent skin in the deepest parts of the ocean. This one is a predator, not prey.
Wow!!! It's stunning!!! I'm really amazed, it's totally gorgeous, so detailed...great, great job, I love her!!!!
MAGNIFICENT! Absolutely incredible x
She's absolutely incredible! SOMEDAY I'm doing Mermay. The point that you switched out that black hair for the white hair I thought, "Oh, girl. I feel that stress. I have been there." She turned out to be a masterpiece!
Thanks ^_^ Beauty of being an artist/crafter :D
I never knew May was the month of mermaids!!! My bday is May 14th!!! I've always been fascinated with mermaids. The only time I'm truly happy & at peace with the world is when I'm in the water.
Omg excellent
I love the ‘muahahaha’ moment lol it’s honestly how I feel whenever I’m working on one of my dolls while at work lol they always get to see the beheading part, but I haven’t done body mods while there… no power tools whilst talking on a phone… lol
Another genius doll! I love your color palette and unique design! Happy Mermay! 🧜♀️👍👍👍
This is such a beautiful doll customization! The face up was emasculately drawn! Youbare so talented
I'm so in love with her. The tail is honestly my fave part and her ears are so cute. I'm so glad you have this beautifully creepy style, easily my fave type of dolls. 😌😌😌😌😌💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
So happy to hear that! ^_^
I love this character so much. You are gifted and talented. Love watching your videos. very calming and entertaining. Keep it up
All that talent!! Love it. Beautiful. 😍
What an amaizing creation, i love those highlights And basicly everything
You are truly an artist. Your techniques are incredible. I love your vision of these creatures.
I like that one of ears is a little bit lower than other, makes her look more innocent and confused^^ very cute (but still scary💖)
i love her! i love your style too! please make more of these “creepy” creatures😩
No problem ;)
Beautiful! I love the more deep sea/spooky/ minimal color angle of her. Much more eerie siren than little mermaid. I dig it~
Не могу отделаться от мысли, что русалка похожа окрасом на аксолотля, пусть и безмерно печального. Очень красивая работа, что с волосами, что без них. Обманчиво трогательное ранимое выражение лица. Представляется мне именно такими моряки могли видеть сирен или морских дев❤️💛💛
You are right ^_^ She is a little bit axolotly :P And yes - that was my goal to depict her like a mermaid that, even if a little bit creepy, could allure some sailors to their deaths :)
Wow she came out perfect!Great job you are so talented!
Just found your channel and so glad I did! Amazing work! Also, I love the trap beat song
Best tail I’ve ever seen!! I love her and her creepy vibe soo much!! Another masterpiece!!
Thank you!
I also think she's beautiful...but u can c a touch of sadness about her. I really love it!!!
Gorgeousness as always!!!🧜♀️💜🧜♀️💜
this master piece...i cant wait to see where youre talent takes you
She's so lovely! She's creepy and macabre, but beautiful, and she definitely reminds me of something you'd find in the deepest depths of the ocean. I'm also super impressed with her tail! I've seen a few mermaid dolls and the tails never look quite right, but you kept hers so sleek and long. Great job and beautifully creepy work!
Thank you! I tough that longer and more like.. organic... tale will look interesting. You usually see tales that are just a little bit longer then normal legs... and I wanted her to be a little bit different. Wanted to add some uniqueness to this figurine :) And I am pretty happy with how she turned out ^_^ Even if she is now so freakishly tall :D
She looks amazing. I love this more darker vibe from your channel. It really suits my personality better.
Keep making great dolls that you love.
😍 you are an absolute machine,woman!! I love all of them!
Beautiful either way! Like cute, creepy, or mixed. Keeps it interesting. Love your dolls!!
Pure genius, girl! Keep on the good work!
Amazing artistry and incredible imagination!
She does look amazing bald but the subtle ombré high, and your techniques !!! Absolutely stunning
Happy to hear that
She is so beautiful. I love how you overcame the issues you had and persevered to make her into the beautiful doll you had planned, with a few modifications to the plan. I also like that you included the struggles you had. Some doll artists don’t show that at all. My favourite part of all your videos is you talking. I could listen to you for hours on end. You have one of the sweetest voices and I love you accent. I just don’t know what part of the world you are from. Thank you for sharing your art with us all. Stay safe and healthy.. love from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Thank you so much ^_^ Making mistakes is a part of the process and for me it is important to show that :) Greetings from Poland ^_^
