Same. The original will forever be my favorite. I miss owning those dolls, especially Lagoona.
I believe the reason she is now pink is due to a copyright issue (same goes for Frankie) the collab they did with Warner or whoever owns the rights to those monsters only applied to like G1 and 2 but not 3 so they had to change it
@@lucylite3856 mmm Frankie I can buy but lagoona nah the og monster is green so I dont think shed be copyrighted for being blue and oh boy i cant wait to talk about how Frankie could still have been green due to a technicality XD
I'm glad you are very happy with your re-designs of Lagoona
A lot of it are becoming fart jokes and I'm like... it's funny every now and then, but the comedic aspect is lost when don't constantly. Like I feel like I'm going to be one of those parents who constantly monitors what my children watch. Not that I'd complain because cartoons are nice, but just hopeful good things will be out by then for them
As an Australian, i feel like they kinda should've just completely scrapped Lagoona and gave the character a different name instead of changing everything but her name. I think a lot of Indigenous Australians head-cannoned Lagoona as Aboriginal, so the change feels like an extra downer for them.
I REALLY love your design tho! This makes me wish the original show used her more.
The reboot is a another universe, its basically AU's to the shows
I think G3 Lagoona looks like her pink sister Kelpie and I wish they just flat out focused on another actual generation of the characters.
@@jadetea6112 If they focused on a different generation it's pretty unclear how many older fans would have returned, especially the reaction to generation 2, including myself, I already own all 5 gen3 dolls and have pre ordered 2 + howliday draculaura 🥸I don't LOVE the new Lagoona but I still love the rest
I really don’t understand the decision to make her from Honduras, if they wanted the diversity, like you said Australia has a non white aboriginal population. It’s a group that doesn’t get a ton of representation as it is so it’s a little strange they couldn’t have just keyed in on that.
Facts
Lagoona was my favorite Monster High character in the main cast growing up! Seconded only by Jackson Jekyll and Holt Hyde. Still kind of salty that they wasted his story and the character he's based on in the crappy life action movie. Not to mention the weird liberties they took for G3, the main point of the original Monster High is that you are welcome no matter what and while some people did have their biases in the school it was always the students and never the staff. Even though it's been a while I don't think the staff in G1 ever belittled Jackson for being a normie.
Same, I remember her being my absolute favourite
G3 is a multiverse
Yeah, but I do remember Mr.Hackington was "anti-phibian" which is basically a term for racism towards sea monsters.
@@Pomegranate_Clown Oh dang I completely forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me!
Yeah I remember Deuce even said something like “we can’t just stonewall your cousin because he’s a normie!”
I love this design, and I agree that its such a shame to lose all that personality and lore that was in G1. After all the slogan is
" Be yourself!
Be unique!
Be a monster! "
Right I dont even think there bringing back the orgianl message of the show anymore plus thats a slogan that'll never get old especially now a days
@@LovesArt23 they actually are bringing back the slogan, it was used on multiple official promotional shots for the dolls and i believe chanted like a school spirit song in the commercial! that aside though, i personally really like Lagoona's design in g2, because after all they're not the same characters they were in g1, and she never felt sporty enough to me outside of her signature! so i'm glad to see she's at least still wearing sporty clothing :) with that being said, I also like your design, so maybe i'm just easy to please haha.
Brazillian girl here, I saw some people on the internet praising gen 3 because according to them the racebending made it so inclusive, while also saying that the original had bad representation because the characters were stereotypical.
While I agree that characters like Skelita were a little stereotypical, I wouldn't call the new Lagoona an amazing representation. Skelita had an actual effort put into her, she had an interesting design, a captivating personality, etc. She didn't need the glory of a previous white character to thrive.
Meanwhile the new Lagoona is just some lazy colorswaped version. Instead of researching monsters from different cultures and making interesting characters, with interesting personalities and backstorys, they just went for a lazy racebending. And are still being praised for such a "progressive" move.
It's ridiculous.
Funny thing is her accent is still sterotypical even though she was raceswapped
MH literally had monsters from EVERY part of the world, even when most of they were based in popular concept, they had their own unique style, design and personality. They applied representation and diversity even before that concepts were an important theme like nowaday.
Im sad we never got more Batsy Claro
I totally agree, I remember that when I was a little girl I loved those designs although they were "stereotyped" they were very beautiful even when Marisol Coxi came out I was so happy because I had never seen a character from my country in an animated series or a series in general
She is not brazilian. I get that that is not your point but please don't speak like she was designed to represent you. She is a indigenous honduran and I can confirm that the casual clothes and SANDALS are very common in honduran girls. I DO FEEL very represented by her and I understand that her design is not heavily inspired by Honduras culture, but I wouldn't like that either bc they probably would base her entire personality on being a stereotype like some g1 monsters.
the problem is that these designs are made by adult who think they know what teens and kids like and want + they are made exclusively to sell as dolls
personally i love the original ones, these new ones are just "aw lets makes these tiktok popular girls cause these dumb 14 yo girls are going crazy buying our stuff"
anyway, LOVED THE REDESIGN! you always rock on these redesigns and actually manage to translate what the character is meant to be!
Yes exactly this whole new line is just a cash grab and using the old name like a brand but its just adults thinking they know what kids like when the original creator actually went above and beyond by asking girls that the dolls where made for to show him and his team what girls back then liked they went to the mall and actually talked them instead of having them look at the dolls and say yes or no
As an Australian who grew up during the monster high era all the media I consumed was either American, Canadian or British. And IF and Australian actor was onscreen they were either played as a joke or hiding their accent to portray an American character to blend in with the American cast.
So as kid who watched monster high I always thought Lagoona was so cool. In retrospect I can see all her stereotypes written into her character and the terrible accent from gen 1 but instead of improving this when creating gen 3 the creators decided it was too hard and replaced her nationality. I understand the want for Latina rep but instead of working with what they had or creating something new they replaced another monster’s nationality. Which is what upsets me the most.
For a new generation about diversity they sure had no problem getting rid of (to my knowledge) the only Australian character’s heritage instead of using the three Latina characters they already or creating a new character entirely to fill that role.
I’m so glad Australian media like Bluey is reaching people internationally so that kids don’t have to grow up feeling insecure about their nationality.
I wish they made her Aboriginal Australian. Maybe it would require more work, but it would help her retain her original nationality while also giving rep to an underrepresented minority
Yeah, that would’ve been great. As an aboriginal Australian kid myself we have basically no representation in the media. I remember how exited I was when i saw jasmine in total drama.
i beg you to PLEASE do clawdeen. the second i saw her design i almost had a heart attack. they did my girls dirty 😭
Lol i know right my roomate was so pissed off (thats her fav) she was like "she not from Boston anymore why would they do that like she looks like she could be any of clawdeens siblings weve never seen"
@@LovesArt23 Clawdeen Wolf is one of my favorite Monster High characters, and i really didn't like her reboot design when i first saw it. They made her look like a middle school nerd werewolf girl, like why did her dirty? 😭
I know, right? Clawdeen is a fashionista with fierce style!
Lagoona was always my favorite growing up. I really love your redesign!
You had mentioned that it was weird how not monstery Lagoona looked, and honestly I agree, but that was probably on purpose because Lagoona wasn't actually fully sea monster in G1. Her mother was actually a sea nympth, which is why she looks different then the other members of her family. That art you showed of the whole family is actually the G2 family if I'm remembering correctly.
The blonde hair was also weird for me, like it never made sense for me that the pool bleaches blue steaks in her hair? I like the fandom idea of her hair actually being blue and the pool bleaching it blonde.
Well actually the picture she showed of Lagoona’s family was actually from generation 1. It was in the movie “The Great Scarrier Reef” and it was a scene in the flashback Lagoona had of when her stage fright first started. The camera panned over to her family, so it was her G1 family.
if you don’t wash your hair after swimming the chlorine in pools will intact turn your hair green
Oh my gosh, I love this version of Lagoona!! She looks just like I imagine her to be, sporty and friendly and just kinda chill. All the colors and water-themed things on her are so FUN, she doesn’t look scary but I think that’s what unique about her. She’s like the cooler version of the modern view of mermaids rather than the evil Sirens in old myths. Amazing design
tbh i figured they made her pink and her legs translucent to lean more towards an axolotl aesthetic, especially since they made her latina and axolotls originated from mexico (not to mention axolotls are really popular right now 🤔) that being said, if that *was* the case, i wish they dove into that more instead of just painting her pink and leaving her at that lol
beautiful artwork !!! i’d love to see your take on the other girls in the future if you decide that was something you wanted to do ^^
Ooooooo! She looks fin-tastic! Love the redesign and all the colors blend well together 💕
My favourite is Toralei Stripe, and apparently the doll version has... long hair? It's quite suprising in my opinion.
Also, they also totally changed Toraleis background story too from what I've heard 😞 shame...
.
.
Also, I hope you have a fin-tastic day too! 🤗
Yeah I dont get why they gave her long hair yet the animated version has short hair the inconsistency is driving me crazy
I’ve never really gotten into Monster-High, but this design is so incredible I want to know more! I’d love to see your take on the other designs 🤩
It was good for its time a few bumps bug thats to ve expected though if youve seen mlp friendship is magic its kinda got that vide though a bit more gothic
"dollightful doesn't take commissions"
but plenty of other doll artists do ! i'm sure there's somebody out there who could make this lassie into a doll
True I just wouldn't know where to look I only watch her and two other doll designer's who also dont do commissions
Man, I honest to god wish dolllightful did commissions (I could've sworn she did some a while ago. But remaking dolls is a massive challenge [I've tried, and yikes]), cuz honestly , I'd love to see this design remade on a Lagoona doll
Yeah I watch her all the time and I'm like how like it looks crazy hard but she does it so well I'm like there's no way I can do that XD but she does do swap dolls where she and other doll designer's make a doll with out telling the other what there doing and mail it to them
and etellan! she did a whole series revamping most of the g1 main characters (frankie, draculaura, clawdeen, cleo, lagoona and ghoulia) and they lookedso cute
Lagoona was always a fav since I’m an Australian and media containing Australian characters when I was younger was pretty scarce so it was fun to have a character I could relate to in a way.
I was hella disappointed when I saw the reboots design making her look like an Ariana grande rip off. It just felt cheap and like it was trying to fit in with the new and popular styles which was practically what og monster high avoided and what drew my attention to the show in the first place.
Your design is very cool, I’m a huge fan of inhuman characters and I love how much of the monster side you added to her and I’m in love with the whole blue iris and the skin ombré you did! Amazing vid!
I absolutely love this redesign! I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but the wave patterns actually helped called back to Lagoona being Australian.
As an Australian one of the fashion brands I grew up with, and see all the time, is Billabong! They make sportswear and their logo is of a wave like the pattern on her clothes. It was just really cool to see :>
I love the design as a whole, especially her colour palette how you handled giving her more monstrous features :]
When you referenced the side ghouls like Marisoul and Kiyomi I remembered why the original was so wonderful and diverse. I really miss those designs now. I like some of the aspects they did for the reboot. Many I have seen artist redesign in between g1 and g2.
I wish it was toned down in color with more black. I wish characters outfits and voices were more expressive. I like aspects of Frankie, Cleo looks great, Draculara seems really cool personality wise, I wish she had more black in her outfits though. The ones they really missed with was Lagoona, Clawdeen and Torelie. Just way to watered down
Tbh I think someone on the design team for G3 believed Nymphs (Lagoona’s mom’s a water nymph if I remember right) and Fairies were the same thing when they aren’t. Hence where the Justice shopping spree for her came from. As for the Australian to Latina… I would of preferred just giving one of the three that already existed spotlight. (I’m partial to Skelita since she’s bffs with Clawdeen lol)
I love blue Lagoona so much and I hate that so many newer fans are absolutely dragging the shit out of blue Lagoona fans? I hate the pink dolls so much and the ombré legs makes me not want to buy her at all. You can’t dislike or critique anything from this gen without everyone saying you’re stuck in the past and saying a lot of … choice words. I agree with you so much, and I think your design is so cute ❤
ALSO! I hate people saying she had NO personality, or that her only personality was being sea crossed lovers with Gil! Glad I’m not the only one who actually remembers her having a personality
Lemme guess, they called you a racist didn't they?
Yes I hate the RH kids coming to collect MH that will want something else next year and not even care bout it telling EVERYONE else what to do when what they really just want is their RH so I hope MGA makes something to lure them back then Mattel realizes what is REALLY selling is the OG so brings back the OG though I kinda want a Finnegan doll before G3 dies off cause it will sooner then later it lacks that certain something OG MH had last reboot lasted bout 2 years that’s what I give this one IF that the cartoon wasn’t on this week so that was weird. Draculaura is the best doll they got. The butchered my ghoul Lagoona I have pink Lagoona I tried liking her I REALLY did I do not. I just want ANY reason to make her blue I love her new leg fin design and her ears the blue legs isn’t even working cause her paint chips off. I kinda hope they do a 13 wishes thing with her not that obviously BUT some reason like that story line to just make a blue Lagoona and see how it sells.
I knew your version of Lagoon is gonna be boo-utiful! Now, this is what Gen 3 Lagoon should look like, so amazing!! Good luck with redesigning the other characters.
Thank you I'm starting on Frankie now I have so many ideas I'm just bursting to make them prefect
@@LovesArt23 however you want her/them to be like she/they will be great.
@@firerose4495 if you’re talking abt g3 it’s just they
@@SaraMcNutz It's Loves Art23's choice.
Girl, i'm with you. I HATE LAGOONA G3 DESIGN. Mattel, you massacred my girl... I love your redesign.
Lagoona was my favorite monster high girl. Despite purple being my favorite color, when me and my sister bought our one and only monster high dolls as kids, I got Laguna instead of Clawdeen. I loved her cool little fish hands, her weirdly big eyes, her blue skin, and her pretty hair. Which ever Lagoona I got was not the original costume from what I can remember, but I don’t remember which one it was. Most of the other reboot characters although missing the classic Gothic style or at least excusable, but this one was a complete and utter murder of the original character. My favorite thing about was that she was levelheaded and was sort of the mom of her friend group. I love how she was unapologetically herself and loved animals. She reminded me a lot of myself or at least who I wanted to be. Thank you for giving her a redesign that actually is her.
13:24 OMG you know of Dollightful’s channel! I love her dolls
So true lagoona was that friend we all wanted and wanted to be and this version is just mean and kinda less level headed like lagoonas og personality would be prefect for todays kids
WATER JACKET WATER JACKET WATER JACKET
God I love this redesign! Lagoona deserved so much better in the reboot. Though I was more into the show aspect of monster high, I could definitely see kid me wanting a doll like this
"Because girls dont like blue"
Me: sorry i dont speak wrong
Overall great redesign
Thank you and right where are they getting there facts from like at that age i was obsessed with blue my whole room was underwater themed as a kid
love the representation don't get me wrong but outside australia I don't think I've ever seen an australian based character! they could've done so much with an episode where lagoona is stressed because her home THE GREAT SCARRIER REEF is slowly dying and they have to figure out a way to implement something thats a long term solution with saving it, LIKE WHATTT I'M SO MAD. :(
Hngggg!! Aaaah im so happy with how she came outtt, she looks so cool and awesome!!! I have to admit, my MH phase was very short, but out of all the dolls Lagoona was the one i desperately wanted, because i always found her aesthetically pleasing, so seeing that pink monstrosity was a bit of a blow for me XD they did my girl soo dirty!
But thank god our Lord and savior is here to bless our eyes with this beautiful redesign 🥺Absolutely lovely work
Thank you and same I was still into them during my freshman yr but mostly the movies as the dolls from the movies where so much prettier but yeah lagoona was my favorite I never lost my mer phase so her just being a thing was to prefect
@@LovesArt23 i think i was into them in like, 7-8th grade, cuz that was when i switched schools XD
BUT THE MER PHASE IS ONE PHASE THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY! and we absolutely stan that. Pretty mermaids will always have my heart 🥺✨💗🤭
All the redesigns make me wanna cry, but they reaaalllyy did lagoona dirty😭 your redesign is really pretty fits her character really well though!
I pretty much agree with everything you said, I really don't understand why they did Lagoona dirty like that, I mean everyone got their designs and personalities changed for the worst, but she literally became another person, she only have her name still intact, and I can't look at her new design without getting a headache. There's too much going on, too many colors and details and they just don't work well together. And the transparent legs could have been cool if you could see her bones, like some abyssal fish. Anyway I love your redesign, it's closer to the first gen, but with some awesome upgrades, I love that she looks more like a monster and all the details work so well together, she's adorable!
This design has so much personality. She looks more like a seamonster than in the original, and the braid looks great on her.
I remember when I first got into monster high my parents were fine they were happy I actually found a doll I loved and it opened up my love for gothic fashion
i wasn't super upset about the lagoona redesign but i didn't hold any strong emotions about gen1 lagoona so i can see why people are upset
your redesign tho? she would've been one of my favourites if she had this design its so fun and shaped and i love her face and how she's shining with personality
Yeah! Monster High redesign! Can't wait to see more of them! Also, can't wait Cherri's redesign as well!
I really like your design WAY more, at least it says sea monster
Thank you 💙💙💙
I am one of those crazy people that absolutely LOVES g3 Lagoona and pretty much everything about her just vibes with me. I’m ABSOLUTELY HEAD OVER HILLS for your version of her I actually feel like she’s a perfect middle between g3 and g1, for me, it’s giving g3 from pretty much every angle except for her actual body witch is a more monster version of g1 I feel like I would absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HER AS A DOLL.
Plus I just wanna comment to boost engagement and attention ❤
3:50
When your sketch popped on screen I got so excited I nearly threw my phone! Lol
She’s so cute! Omg I love her! 🥺❤️😍
5:19
No judgment here, it’s a great show! It’s really brought back what kid shows these days are missing. Plus, it’s fun for all ages!
This was a great video! You made amazing points, and it always a joy to watch your content!
Bluey is just so sweet and Actually nice to watch I wish was longer but the lessons are so prefect for todays kid
GOD SHE LOOKS AMAZING!
Also everytime I watch your videos I'm expecting your designs to become canon somehow. They're just so perfect
If we just squint and pray hard enough then maybe XD though I have tried to get in to the doll design field but its even more cut throat than the animation field
if your designs were added to the official, i would watch the whole MH with no complaints
To be fair, lagoona is based on the creature from the black lagoon whose movie was set in the amazon river in south America, so making Lagoon Latina would make more sense.
True I always figure he moved after marring his wife since every movie ppl kept coming back to his lagoon to capture him
@@LovesArt23 honestly i figured that her being Australian was a pun, as it was said that she was from the land “down under”.
Hello!! What I'm abt to say isn't really abt the video itself but- anyway lol
I just wanted to tell you that I absolutelly love your content like I don't usually get excited when a youtuber uploads, but when I see it's a video of yours I run to see it lol I think it's amazing how you do so many researches and go deep in the character backstory so everything in the design has a why! Tbh your speedpaints are the best to me, bc they're actually very entertaining, hard to see channels like this! Such an inspiring workk :D❤
Honestly I feel like the doll designs should be what the animated ones should look like, it just looks way better. Personally I view the reboot as a separate univers from the original, like into the spiderwerse.
Mmm I could buy that just wish they weren't trying to blend the live action movie in with it as well
@@LovesArt23 same. The live action movie didn’t sit well with me. I can´t tell if it´s suposed to be a pilot for the show or is own thing.
@@Kittyboi. I think its supposed to be its own thing but they kept some parts and put it in the animated series as well and its honestly just a big mess
@@LovesArt23 totally agree. I’ll still give the cartoon a watch though, just to see if it’s actually a good show or not. I would hate for it to just be another show for kids to turn their brains off to. They should have fun watching it.
As a Lagoona Pink fan, you converted me. I personally still don’t like G1 Lagoona’s design (which is a shame because she’s one of my favorites in the webisodes), but this one really elevates her. Mattel, take notes.
I absolutely adore this design, I love the clothes and am so happy that the eyes look more monster like now.
I think the pink skin could’ve worked if they made it to where she changes colors based on emotions, blue is default while pink is when she's happy. And the funny thing is, on the box art, her hands are also blue.
Also, there was a reason for Frankie having blue skin and it was because of distribution rights to Frankenstein's monsters, which is also why she doesn't have her neck bolts.
Overall I do like Lagoona’s g3 design, I think it's cute, but she looks more like Lagoona’s sister trying to copy her older sister’s style but still wanting to be original
holy shit this looks so much better than the rainbow mess Mattel give us ❤️💔
Dont get me wrong I like rainbow but I dont need the whole doll to look like a tie dye version of one
Love this ❤️ also The monster high movie is definitely trying to be like the Disney channel movies. Heck my brother knows it’s on paramount+ yet he refused to believe it’s not a Disney channel movie
Yeah it gives big Disney descendant vibes it just doesn't have that good a plot or story XD and yeah my neighbors kid was so confused too kept asking if this was like a Disney Halloween special
@@LovesArt23 just like how Star Trek prodigy wanted to be Star wars clone wars, Monsters high wants to be like descendants
My favorites from Monster High were Lagoona Blue, Abbey Bominable, Venus Mcflytrap, Wydowna Spider, and Viperine Gorgon. I love your re-design of Lagoona Blue!!!!! She looks so fish!!!! I think the 80’s really go well with her tbh! I do gotta disagree with you about her skating. I think skating does go with her because I kinda live by the beach and i always see people skating, so i think maybe her having a Ariel moment of watching people under the Pierre skating would be super cute and cool! I also see her playing volleyball. I do agree about making her the level headed person. I also see her being really close friends with Venus as both wanna protect the earth from pollution! Just maybe Venus is a bit more drastic about it lol
Blue Lagoona is best Lagoona, I can't wait for Frankie whenever you do her!
Holy-
I live your design for her! She's so pretty! Monster high was my CHILDHOOD, so I'm VERY happy that I'm seeing a character I grew up and love with finally getting the recognition she deserves!
I cannot wait to see your Frankie re-design!(and Draculuara, if you do her!)
Finished video and I love the end result. I do not and will never understand the thought process of "girls not liking blue so we made a character with the last name 'blue' pink, like our other pink character . Despite having two other blue characters. " idk about you, I loved Abby, and she was sparkling blue.
Anyway, the design is beautiful and I like your reasoning behind the additional changes. I'll miss lagoona's old design so this one is welcome.
YES! YOUR REDESIGNED VERSION OF LAGOONA BLUE IS "FANG-TASTIC" ! I absolutely LOVE her AAAAAAHH!!!😆😆😆😆
I love Monster High so much and I don't really what they did to Lagoona in G3 like "why is she pink?! I hate it!" XD
Your redesign videos always made my day for excitement and more inspirations!😁
Thank you and happy to inspire 💙💙💙
I think the major problem with the new Lagoona (the new MH in general) is that they’re trying to be so inclusive it becomes a stereotype without any actual representation and just retconning already well established traits,
If you asked basically anyone back in 2016 who Lagoona was they’d answer ‘oh, she’s the Australian one’ (as an Australian I may be a bit biased tho :/ )
This! It’s even worse when you consider they already had plenty of characters to choose from if they wanted to be more inclusive. I get she’s one of the main group, but come on. It doesn’t help that there’s literally no reason for them to do it. Clawdeen doesn’t even dress like Clawdeen.
Bro you see the new music vid for G3 Lagoona
Literally made her out to be the Spicy Latina trope, I can't with this
I like how she looks more monster like. Wish they mad leaned more into the monster aspects for the dolls
0:34 XD I watched it too and I have so many complaints with easily the biggest one being why does Draculaura not getting exposed as a witch, something really important to the plot of the show, ONLY get avoided by Clawdeen being half human? Like if they never changed that part of Clawdeen's character, how would they have avoided that? And how are they going to continue avoiding that if Laura's gonna continue practicing magic?? One episode in and already a big issue with the plot.
I haven't been into Monster High in years, but now I'm interested for no other reason other than to see your redesigns~ Looking forward to what you come up with for Cherri too!
Cherri is getting one heck of a make over shes so boring like 80s grunge rebel thats extremely up my alley 💥💥
I gotta give you props cause those scales and wave patterns look straight out of my local mall... that kind of surfer vibe is actually pretty popular in australia
Lagoona was the Apple Jack of Monster High, and that’s an important role for a friend group lol But yeah, I was so mad when I learned that they turned her pink… what the heck, man. Horrible choice.
The only thing I like about reboot Lagoona is her rainbow hair akdhfkkg idk It looks fun and cool, I like it
And I LOVE the jacket you designed for her!!! It looks so pretty 😭😭😭 100% would wear it myself
Yeah I like the design choices individuality but all togather is a big no its to much
Gen 1 Lagoona will always have place in my heart, Gen 2 Lagoona was kind of basic, Gen 3 Lagoona is good-kind of but my issues with her that she looks too colorful it can be blinding to the eyes if put under different lighting in animation, i think designers were going for colorful barbie mermaid theme sense there current lines have notice have been really colorful with lines of toys Mattel has been putting out it just and if they wanted add pink could been accent color like her flower was, but otherwise she ok, but I love your redesign of her she looks like Lagoona but with updated look
Yeah g 1 lagoona was just the right amount for me where as g2 and 3 are way to much in different directions of her character but yeah they should ahve gone with a high light pink color is they wanted pink so bad I mean Draculura is enough pink for both of them we didnt need more XD
agreed i think the shade of pink they chose for her doll is wayy too bright compared to he animation. i think the pink just clashes with a lot of her colors in general
I honest like this redesign! ^^
Modern but still true to the original.
It was fun to mix it up I used to draw ocs for ppl back in the day so its nice to come back
@@LovesArt23 It just works so well! Especially with your artstyle ^^
the reason why lagoona and frankie changed color schemes is because universal (owner of most of the original monsters) does not own monster high anymore
I absolutely adore this redesign, I'm glad you kept her blonde hair a bit, because personally I always liked it!
I love love love her jacket too! And everything about her is so so!! I can't explain how much I love it!!
Hype , all the hype! I'll report back after watching the vid but im excited to see how she turned out. I love monster high and am so glad it has experienced a resurgence in recent years.one of my faves was clawdeen... I don't know what they did to my girl.
Looking forward to it and oh I know what is with doll company's getting rid of the fashion loving character like there still kids who wanna be fashion designers when they grow up i know I do
About the 3rd gen design, I like that she is latina, as I'm Brazilian and she was my second favorite from the main cast, and that they made her a little chubbier, but everything else, I hated it too. Although her original design was too simplistic to be a monster, like, take off her (removible for the dolls) fins, and you can't tell she's a monster unless you look at her hands and ears (that are usually hidden by her hair). I love your redesign, she looks like she should based on he 1st gen personality! I love the sportive but not overwhelming so style of her clothes, and her hair! Her. Hair! What you did to her skin is amazing too, it looks so good! The jacket was one of my favorite additions. When Monster High came out, I wanted to be a mix between Ghoulia and Lagoona and Frankie sooooo bad! If you do Frankie next, I will be so fudging happy!
I would KILL to have your design as a doll
She is so pretty Love! I can't wait to see the others
Thank you I'm about to start on Frankie I'm so excited to work on them
I love this design so much! It makes so much sense and looks so much better than the reboots. Would you also be doing like "fancy" designs for some character as I would love to see what you will do
I might do something when I finish the main cast
Although I haven't seen the show (it doesn't exist in my country :/) I don't know why I still think most of the old designs look better and more unique than the new ones now (I especially like the Clawdeen g1 design)
Also I think they changed lagoona's skin to pink because Frankie is now blue and that's why they did it? (But Draculaura is pink too? IDK)
I especially like the outfit and the look you've given her (the sheer jacket and the seahorse bag are really cool) She looks like a real sporty girl and not a normal pink monster girl
Can't wait to see your redesign of Clawdeen's character design! :)
Lagoona was my favorite with Clawdeen and Draculaura as a kid, because i saw myself in her (mainly the long and blond curly hair) thus i am SO HAPPY she is the first you redesigned, she looks SO GORGEOUS like THE HAIR AAAAHRHRHH 💞💞💞💞 beautiful work as always
Oh my god, you just SLAPPED me with nostalgia. Monster high was one of my biggest obsessions growing up
Your redesign is so cool and honestly captures Lagoona perfectly, awesome as always
I love your lagoona redesign, she looks so good! I especially love her jacket(I want it now lol) and her hair. The green parts of her hair remind me of how chlorine can turn blonde hair green(which she might have gotten from the pool at Monster High). Although Abbey was my favorite mh character, I remeber also really liking Lagoona as she her fashion style was generally the closest to mine out of the main characters. (side note, I thought the Gen 3 Lagoona was wearing a really weird pair of tights like whose idea was it to draw the "gradient" like that 😭)
I don't know if someone says it in the comments but Lagoona's color change is because in the prototype of the doll it was her original color, but they show the dolls to kids and Lagoona was the one they liked least. So they asked them what they would change about her and gave them several color options, with pink winning.
Idk why the blue of her foot tho, maybe to preserve the blue but doesn't even draw much attention at first glance.
And love the redesign, especially the face
Maybe i should make this design into a doll if i get into doll customisation, sounds like a cool idea
This. Is. Amazing
The new Lagoona looks a bit too fairytale like and not monster enough. They dumped her in a rainbow
I think part of why they redesigned her to be pink is because there were too many blue/green characters (Frankie and Ghoulia and even Abbey) while Draculaura is the only pink one. Still sad tho cause her name is literally Lagoona BLUE
AAAAAAA THIS LOOKS SO GOOD, it’s true that lagoona wasn’t my favorite but why did they do her so bad 😭😭 I love the colors you chose, they’re vibrant so it helps her pop out more.
OG Lagoon a is the first Monster High doll I owned. I really like your redesign. Thank you for making her blue again
I really love her design! Especially her eyes! I love the blue eye whites they’re so pretty! And they make her more monster like! Honestly I love all the MH characters but if I had to choose favorites I’d say Frankie and Draculuara! Because who doesn’t love Frankie and Draculuara? I wish I was as good at redesigns as you. 🥰
P.s I love Dollightful too I’m subscribed to her!
im rolling this is fantastic. can't wait to see a better take on Frankie, although i do like how the reboot doesn't feel the need to make them androgynous (because you don't need to be in order to be a valid enby) but it doesn't feel super well thought out beyond that. id also like to see a take on abby since she's my favorite but from what I can tell she hasn't really shown up at all (except the movie that shall not be named). can't wait!
I love how you brought back her cooler tones, she looks more like Lagoona now.
Also as a fellow Bluey lover, no hate!
my girl lagoona back in blue! i'm so happy for her!
anyway, if you are going to do frankie next, i hope you are gonna keep them as main character, bc well, they were perfect main character material, but nickelodion pushed them to the side with sucks, but i kinda get it, they maked frankie non binary and parents would be more angry at them than they are already. but still, that makes me sad, i'm myself non binary and in main stream media there is very little enby main characters, and i have a feeling that they will push frankie to be a minor character
Oh I'm keep them as the main character to whole reason Frankies character worked was because they where only 15 days old so everything was new to them just as it was for fans they where able to explain lore better with Frankie as the main character than clawdeen
I found your channel a few weeks ago maybe even a month ago and fell in love with your designs! I absolutely love all of them! Including the Miraculous designs even though I didn't like Miraculous that much since all the gacha memes of it- I never liked it that much but your designs made me like it more! I also haven't seen monster high in like years since I've been obsessed with FNaF- Anyway I love your videos and designs! (btw, great design on lagoona 🙂) If you read this, thank you! ❤
I can actually agree with you about the other generations of Monster High and how you feel and some of your opinions on them. The design for the first generation of the Monster High dolls didn't really bother me at all. I actually love the designs that are used in a gothic fashion, and I had NO idea that parents were complaining about the dolls. I really don't see what the issue is, but I can see a lot of things wrong with the other Gen monster high. I was kinda excited to see the Gen 2 monster high but what really made me uninterested was how cartoony it was to me. Like Draculora in her bat form, it didn't seem very natural to me and I didn't like the shape of the head that it was molded in. Plus, I didn't expect Draculora to be the main character of the Gen 2 movie. I also would dislike that Clawdeen was given so many siblings in that movie. I didn't like that at all. After that, I just lost interest.
And now with this new Nickelodeon movie... I am down right disappointed 😡
I love the redesign you made for Lagoona. She actually has that sea monster look and the pony tail looks like a long tail. And I'm glad you stuck with her skin being blue. Cause I love her blue skin. Amazing redesign.
Great work on Lagoona. I understand that you're tired but just remember to take a break and relax your mind, after all we don't want to see you having a breakdown that is because we all care about you and your well-being.
I'm good now I was just having a moment with both my art and real life but its all better now
@@LovesArt23 that's great thanks for letting us know that you are doing well. Just don't forget to take a well earned rest from your future art block.
I also love how you gave her a swimmers build, amazing all together.
That is not Lagoona Blue, that pink version is her friend who covered up for her because the real Lagoona didn't want any of this reboot crap. This was a joke,,, I honestly kinda like this, it seems like you played alot with the idea that she's a sea monster. Honestly, I didn't really bother watching the newest reboots but my cousin likes the Gen 2 and probably would like the live-action movie (she's around 5 btw) so I mostly don't have a hate for it, but that's because my cousin likes it and I'm glad she can enjoy it. But the og series will forever be my favorite
put an f in the chat for the main and first series of MH
I'm all for kids liking each gen its mostly the collector's I worry about since there the ones who buy the dolls and merch like parent's will buy one and done, collector's buy like 15 and thats what keeps the franchise going
Yeeeeeeesssssss just yes. Love the redesign! It's so colorful and just ugh can't even put it into words how great it is!
And you watch dollightful? Brownie points!
Looking forward to other redesigns in the future because God they give me life.
The new gens seem to completely ignore the males or just screw them over entirely which breaks my heart when Monster high is about all types of people and Ghouls. Along with Lagoona so many amazing characters got side lined or lame designs because of this. Changing things that didn't need to be changed and taking out things people wanted. It's all just giving....ugh eh vibes.
Lagoona Blue was my absolute favorite character as a kid and I even got a doll of her from my parents because they knew how much I loved her. I was very disappointed in her G3 design, especially the fact they took so much of her personality and even turned her skin pink for no reason.
Your redesign is absolutely stunning and I would love to make an art doll of your Lagoona design! I love Dollightful's videos and I've learned so much from her!
I hope you have a great day/night!! ^^
She looks soo amazing with your art style! I love it🥰
OMG THIS LAGOONA'S DESIGN!!!!😭😭😭😭IM CRYING ITS SO COOL AND COLOURFUL!! You did a really great job!!
They made her latina? I seriously had no idea- like. Why? Why would they make her latina? She's from the Great Scarrier Reef.
I'm Australian and she was the one Australian character in shows and stuff (who was obviously Australian) that I actually liked when I was growing up. I'm not sure how true this statement is, but every other show with Australian characters, unless it was an Australian show, felt really stereotypical.
Lagoona didn't feel that way to me, she was one of my favourite characters because it felt like she had personality other than just being Australian, which I didn't see a lot. From what I remember there weren't any other Australian monsters at the school, and the Australian monsters that there were, were from the great scarrier reef movie. I haven't watched it in a while, but I don't think they end up going to monster high at the end of the movie.
It just feels really sad to me, she was the one Australian character who was in the main cast who I actually liked when I was growing up. It was nice to see, and it just makes me sad to see that my favourite character has been butchered so much.
G3 Lagoona is not the Lagoona I know and love, she's just some fake who happens to have the same name.
Lagoona last name doesn't mean of her skin
Her last name meant as the Blue Sea
Lagoon of the Sea
Also there are other doll customizer to make it and I like this redesign
Any redesign of Lagoona is so beautiful & very colorful
Lol I know that its just her full name is a joke of her dads movie name and the fact that they made her blue while also making her last name blue was just the cherry on top of the joke
This video made me SO happy❤ I liked Lagoona Blue when I was younger- and you even showed one of my favs aka Kiyomi. And I LOVED her as a little kid. I was a huge monster high fan and I wish Matel didn’t have to downgrade it because ever after high got canceled/ended 😢
I love her😍😍😍OMG!!!the colors,i would wear those clothes,the little seahorse bag❤️❤️❤️,she just look perfect and monster enough,definitely i pay anything for a doll like this💙💚💛💜🖤
Me too when drawing her I kept thinking how she should be noticeable so more ppl would buy her since she was the least sold doll
@@LovesArt23 right?!?!in the show i love her,she is that friend that when You gonna do something stupid no matter what others Say You gonna do it either way but still she is there giving You advise and supporting u and when everything blow up,she is there to pick You back up and make You feel better
I was never into monster high but when I stumbled on the latest version of Lagoona my first thought was “why are you pink?” I checked my books on reef fish to see if they were maybe referencing a specific fish as there are a lot of colorful and stunning aquatic life. But no she doesn’t match anything I know. Though that dose bring the question. If you’re going to change her color why not make it a cool nod to real life sea creatures? At least then changing her blue would make some sense. But I guess she’s pink now.
I use to be a huge fan of monster high bc how they teach you lessons of treat others how you want to be treated, don't judge books by the cover, everyone should accept their flaws that makes them themselves, and accept others for who they are race or flaws. Gothic is amazing.
As a person who loves doll art, I would be happy to try and make this doll!
Your drawing looks better than this reboot might ever be
What you said at 11:53 killed me inside because Lagoona was my number 1 character, she's the reason why I have a love for sushi
