The $694.49 is just for the blank doll, correct? As someone who wants to start customizing dolls and knows absolutely nothing about custom ordering BJD's, I'm not sure why the doll is so expensive. Is it because of the work needed for the alien eye slots? Or is there more work put into the process of making the different skin tones? I am absolutely sure that the doll is worth the price and I don't mean to offend. I am just confused at the high price tag.
@@turtlnickel 700$$ is a reasonable price for a BJD of her size, especially from a (in the bjd creator community) smaller creator. BJDs are hella expensive. One of mine, Maomao, was about 200$$ a decade ago. and she's only 7.5in tall.
I love Nova so much. I can't wait for everyone to get their hands on her. This sculpt is the first that I've made that's being cast. I hope you all enjoy her as much as I love her 💙💙💙💙
Can't wait to see these custom dolls in some actual deeper skin tones! I am sure your naturally colorful clothes and makeup would look beautiful on darker skin tones ;w;
Same! I’m exhausted of darker skin tones being excluded for unnatural ones. I feel like white people are never aware of it like poc are, it was the first thing I noticed
Ahhhh, I spent a year at high school in Tokyo in the early 00s and I spent EVERY Sunday in game centers, admiring the SentaaGais and Gyarus around. They were all so creative and out there and unashamed!!! I admired them all so much!
I've never really thought much about gyaru fashion, but I think it's so cool that it's a form of rebellion! Nova turned out space-tacular! The little overdrawn droopy eyes turned out really endearing! If I had her outfit, I'm not sure I would ever change! And that wig! Wow! I'm not even a big fan of neon green or blunt bangs, but my two favorite wigs from you have those features now (the other is Oracle's)! Fantastic job on her!
Love the design! So excited to see what people make w her sculpt! The only thing I wished she had was an actual dark natural skin tone, she would look amazing as a dark-skinned poc
@@sushilampa8287 ahhh that's why. I don't know much about working with resin and was deeply disappointed at the limited skintones, wondering wtf the issue was. I'm sure there's a way to give darker skintones anyway, but it's very interesting to know it's hard to do.
The production of the prototypes was extremely pricy which is why I had to limit myself with the production. I will add a deeper skin tone to the pre order.
@Moonlight Jewel Ah that's understandable! Didn't know that darker resins were more difficult and expensive, of course you wouldn't make the prototypes in them. Glad to hear that you're planning on expanding it in the actual pre order!
oh my GOD she turned out absolutely stunning!!! all the little details are insane???? i think the little tail and bell accessory is my favorite out of all of them but GOSH i cant even be sure because shes got so much going on (in the best way possible). im truly in love with her
I would've loved a dark chocolate and dark navy skin tone, I know pigment is super expensive already but I would've really loved to customize a dark brown tone and made her moon themed 😢
That's not to say the colours aren't pretty! And I love the end result. I just don't feel super drawn to the gray-brown tone or know what I'd do with the other ones.
@@MoonlightJewel you're a whole diamond and a half, you're an incredible woman. I don't mean to push against your creative vision because I absolutely know how it feels. I really do love the colours you chose already
@@lenaitherapper5638 quality pigment in resin is pricey. Having a doll printed in white or gray is already pricey on it's own, and all of these colours are super costly as it is. As someone who knows quality, it is hard to ask something like this.
MY FAVORITE YET!!! Please do a series of different Japanese fashions, possibly with the Nova dolls and their different skin colors and busts, that would be so cool!
This is by far the most original doll concept you'd made. Gyaru alien cyber neon is a really stunning concept. Thank you very much. I really enjoy your content so much and you make me so happy (and keep my depression on line) everytime you upload your work. Thank you, thank you, thank you Elisa.
She’s so beautiful! I love all Blue/Moonlight collabs and I love a shout out to 90s Japanese street fashion. ❤️ALSO- who else is waiting for some fashion label to get smart and hire Elisa as an alt fashion designer???
She is so pretty!! I love all her details, and how she is clearly gyaru but kinda with a contemporary touch. All the gyaru stuff really brings back memories, of dancing Parapara with my friends... like 15 years ago.
she's stunning! I love the gyaru look on her, suits her so well! also, about the shoes, you said you wish you had them in your size. The brand 'demonias' sells shoes just like that!
Id absolutely love if you made natural warm brown and deep dark brown tones on your dolls. Besides it being a perfect expansion to ur current palette I would looooove to see yamanba gyaru done on a Black doll!!!!
I have been watching your videos for a long time since I was 10, and now I am 15 but since then you haven't been posting much so I have stopped watching for a while. Now you are here!!! I have always liked how you styled the dolls and the hair, you just made everything sparkle with a divine soul. You were the one who expanded my art sense and probably career-wise. I am so glad you are posting more!
Your videos really do give me life at times. They're always so colourful and full of life that I never want them to end. Also, I truly love Nova and wish I could customize her, she's just sp pretty. Also, also, thank you for teaching me a new word. I knew of the fashion trend (I love watching J-Horror) and always wondered what the style was called.
Every time I think you can’t make anything prettier, you go and make a doll that is even more amazing and beautiful. I love your work, you are such an inspiration! And your videos are so much fun to watch. Thank you, you always make my day a little better.
Fell down a rabbit hole watching your doll making videos, omg the detail you put in is amazing!! The attention to detail and how they look is just beyond anything that gets put out in the shops xx
I look forward to your videos so much, and this was no exception! I love how Nova turned out, she is a total Y2K fantasy and I am living vicariously through her
JOB WELL DONE NOVA WAS STUNNING!!! I'm so glad I was able to watch the premiere! Your dolls are always so different and lovely in their own ways! I really loved novas face sculpt!
OMGGGG I'M OBSESSED as someone who wears gyaru fashion, it's so nice to see people taking so much interest in it, especially in the west. the only alternative jfashion to truly break into the west has been lolita and while i do love and wear lolita myself, i think gyaru could have so much potential here in the modern age
She looks spectacular!!!! The doll line is beautiful, and I love the swappable busts and faces for more personal touches. This is such a fun combo of aestethics. I got so pumped when I saw the nail sneak peek, and the rest of her is just as amazing. And the zip ties seem to really lift those pigtails! Well done!!!!!
she is so insanely gorgeous omg. every doll I think, "wow, she's really outdone herself, it's gonna be hard to top that," and then you do. forever my favorite doll customization artist
I love this so much, I’m wondering if the darker complexioned doll just looks that light because of the lighting/filter or if it’s actually that light, if it’s actually it would be cool to see what it could look like even darker for more representation❤
According to comments she left she will include dark skin tones in the next batch which is definitely good. She said there were limited production costs but I do agree that swapping out a fantasy color for a deeper skin tone would’ve been the way to go.
I love love LOVE this doll! I really like how you went with a fashion trend that doesn't get a lot of attention (I think? Maybe it's just me haha). And just in general I love when you make dolls that look like the early 2000s exploded all over them 😂
I just can't compute how you made such a beautiful design 😱 the doll in on itself is awesome, so many ways to customize it and what you did with it is absolutely gorgeous 😍
The doll turned out really neat! Wish the skin tones had more actual natural tone color variety... especially since the dark tone wasn't very dark at all, and was only a few shades different than the white tone, plus it seemed a bit washed out. Hell, the more "alien" colors, counting the red one, were darker than that one, especially when said dark tone was named "Midnight" :/
I had to pay for the production of the prototypes myself and I ordered skin tones that were most popular from polls on my IG. I will add a darker skin tone, I made a community post about it ❤
Omg! I started doing Gyaru (I mostly do Yamanba) make this year and it’s so cool to see a Gyaru doll from one of my favorite doll customizers! This was amazing!
I understand why they aren't but man I wish the files for some of these dolls were available to print 😭😭 I don't have a job atm so I can't afford any of these artist dolls
Ohhh she's so cute! I can see how you fell in love with her the instant you had all the pieces put together 💕her style is so good, all of the little accessories really enhance her overall vibe, but in particular I'm very impressed with her face-up! You did an amazing job on her makeup, I think she looks like a proper gyaru!
Novas pre order goes live February 24th, 8pm CET! Link is in the description box ❤
Omg! She Is Literally Out Of This World!
You Are A Customizer Goddess! 🥰🥰🥰
That's my birthday! :D She's super cute; I love humanoid dolls with a non-standard amount of eyes!
U are one of the hardest working person I know, how do u do these so fast?

Good job Pixie ! She looks so beautiful 🥺
OMG I love her sculpt so much!! You did awesome
You outdid yourself ❤
You did such a good job on the dolls!
It would be super cool to do a series with nova having different aesthetics like gyaru, Lolita, visual kei, etc! She is gorgeous btw!💞
YES!!!
That's such a cool idea omg yes plsss
V KEI NOVA!!!
THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME I NEED TO SEE THAT
yess
Can't wait to see these custom dolls in some actual deeper skin tones! I am sure your naturally colorful clothes and makeup would look beautiful on darker skin tones ;w;
Yeah I was sad to see that darker skin tones were sacrificed in favor of unnatural colors
@@FiiSptf I fully agree, and it especially sticks out when there Are natural skin tones, those skin tones are just light
Yeah I would like to see that too. The deepest color was still very very light
Same! I’m exhausted of darker skin tones being excluded for unnatural ones. I feel like white people are never aware of it like poc are, it was the first thing I noticed
Yes, deeper browns, and black would look stunning with neon colours
Ahhhh, I spent a year at high school in Tokyo in the early 00s and I spent EVERY Sunday in game centers, admiring the SentaaGais and Gyarus around. They were all so creative and out there and unashamed!!! I admired them all so much!

I LOVE HER! Melanie Martinez's new look is very similar to the pink four eyes mold
Omg yes That's what I was thinking-
plus the split dye hair and pink skin
I love melanie's new aesthetic I also like her old one as well there both great☆
Yesss
no
Love the design! So excited to see what people make w her sculpt! The only thing I wished she had was an actual dark natural skin tone, she would look amazing as a dark-skinned poc
yeah... i was a little shocked at the limited shade range.
@Athena sadly, dark resin is extremely hard to work with and expensive- that's why so many bjd shops have limited skin tones as well

Wowwww the way this looks pretty much exactly like Melanie’s new character before it was even released is wild
SHE IS SO STUNNING THANK YOU FOR THIS MASTERPIECE! 💜💜💜💜

Nah cuz you can literally get a big packet of colors from Amazon for like 20 bucks.
I’ll add a darker skin tone to the pre order, I made a community post about it with a vote ❤

Get over it....
@@jenniferhalf1650 bit rude there💀
@@jenniferhalf1650 dark skinned tones are normal. People who are dark would like to see themselves, but they dont.
OMG, she is GORGEOUS!!!! I love the colour palette and the cyber gyaru theme. You've done an absolutely amazing job! 💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much!!❤
The colour palette reminds me of raspberry limeade and I love it so much 🥺
I love that you help design and choose colors for your dolls but I'd love to see a color that is darker, for a little representation.
Made a Community Voting for one more darker skin tone to add to the pre order ❤

I've always found Gyaru fashion to be oddly charming and oddly cute at the same time.

I LITERALLY CANT 💞💘💓💖💝💕 SO CUTE!!!!!! DEFINITELY ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITES! THE COLORS, THE EYES, THE SCULPT, YOUR HAIR OMG IM SQUEALING!
She's stunning and so detailed, absolutely love her!
Nova is so beautiful! I don’t know if this was intentional, but her eye templates kind of remind me of vinyl records!
I love her so much, the gyaru style is very underrated and amazing and I love how it's seamlessly portrayed in this doll. 11/10 AMAZING!! ❤️🔥
I love how you reuse your old clothes. Nova is such a cute doll, I look forward to seeing her in more customs

One could say this project was out of this world!
Just amazing!!!!!! She will be selling like hot cakes. So talented x
you breathe so much life into every doll you make! the sculptor did amazing too. this was a really fun process to watch.
This doll screams 80s for me. I love it.

And it is always Amazing =)
I like Gyaru characters
This is a very beautiful Doll you made using the Body base
One of the most beautiful dolls I've ever seen!!
I absolutely love the doll!! I had never seen a doll with four eyes. All of her skin tones are so beautiful too. AGHH I adore her
Nova is such a gorgeous creature! The boot covers and all the bling really made the look for me. This is one of my favorites ✌️✨💞🌸🧚♀️😻🔮
Idk why it’s so relaxing to watch doll-making videos, but it really is so nice
I look forward to your videos so much, and this was no exception! I love how Nova turned out, she is a total Y2K fantasy and I am living vicariously through her
I would loooove to see the four eyed face plate on the four armed body, it would make such a cute bug girl doll
she looks amazing
IT IS ILLEGAL TO BE THIS TALENTED! This looks SO SO SO AMAZING! You did such an amazing job!!
Your creativeness keeps going! Keep it up this doll was beautiful! Much love to you and Blue! 💖✨️🌙😍🥰

You never EVER disappoint, she's absolutely adorable!! 🥹❤️

These videos are so relaxing to me 😊 I love seeing how creative you can be it amazes me everytime
