I'm genuinely of the belief that Uvie and Ruby are upperclassmen and Tokki is their adopted freshman friend. It's the vibe from the group and I adore it! Despite Uvie's complications they turned out to be such a wonderful doll!
I can imagine the three of them speed rolling down the sidewalk, downhill, on their way to school, Tokki leading with a shy but loud “Excuse us!!” followed closely by Ruby crouched down stabilizing her board, huge smile on her face “COMIN THROUGH!!” and finished with Uvie just having a blast with a “WOOOOOO” coming out through hysterical laughter…Can’t you?
If you're genuinely worried about seeing the different colored joints, you could always give her elbow pads to hide it. Not much you can do about the others, but they're hidden by clothes anyway
It's honestly super refreshing to hear a more experienced artist talking about art and creative block. I was having a *really* bad art day last night; it's almost like the universe knew I needed this!
I'm surprised you never mentioned the scene style! It's perfect for what you're going for. Edgy and cutesy, neons on black, and popular among teenagers

I love how the pastel doll has most of her volume on top because of her giant hair, the bright doll has her big chunky sweater, and Uvie has her big pants!
the fact that uvie is based off of a newjeans member and fans of newjeans are called "tokki" or "bunnies" AND there's another rainbow doll named tokki is just so perfect, we've converted kathrine to the dark side!
Alright now we need a fourth doll who matches Tokki's vibe to even the group out. Anyone else down to see the unicycle doll come to life? Because I sure am!
You should absolutely do a fully black and white doll! What you said about the pants looking good in black and white made me think and I don’t think you’ve done a black and white doll before, like a 60’s old fashion style too! :] Edit: Omg ty for all the likes!

28:34 okay but can we talk about how good this pic of the doll is?? The angle showing off the hat while covering her eyes AND the smug smile????? Perfection.
i would actually die for a more muted, earthy, jewel toned rainbow doll too should you ever decide to do a 4th member, i feel like it could really suit a more 'motherly' upperclassmen, or like a college age older sister. a kinda cottage-core vibe could work really well with that palette! she could match tokki especially well i think!

I actually love that Tokki is a bit more "muted" than Uvie and Ruby! It kind of feels like the two of them have "come into themselves" a bit more as upperclassman, so their color palettes have become more pronounced. Tokki still has several years of school ahead, for her color palette to saturate a bit more as she grows up! Sounds like a cute color expression :3 She'll be a sweet pastel senpai before she knows it!
Right? Like, the older you get the more saturated your colors. It would totally work for making both younger and older versions of each color. For instance, Tokki could wind up having an older sibling of a darker shade of purple.
A pastel goth clown charecter with a unicycle could be so cute to add to this line/ I love seeing all these rainbow dolls, this doll turned out so cute, and hella awesome to see you come up with something so awesome after really fighting that art block, should be proud as hell! 💚
love katherine’s turn around from “i don’t really like bands, just songs” to “I LOVE EVERY NEWJEANS SONG” cause, same ❤️ newjeans really helps all of us with inspiration lately. fantastic work katherine, even with the three months of art block!
I don't really like K-Pop or K-Pop culture (because it promotes negative body image and the industry treats its groups terribly), plus I notice a lot of K-Pop groups don't do a good job of making MUSIC as they do ripping off a few music genres and slapping them together. I've only discovered a small handful of solo singers who don't fit into the stereotypical K-Pop style, and I enjoy them very much. That being said, I do want to check out Newjeans, I am always willing to give new groups a shot. I just... hope they don't pull a "K-Pop" as most industry groups do. Lol
@@nomoretwitterhandles to me, they're the same as any other mainstream artist. they just got in early on the 90s/y2k trend and blew up because of it. they're all very young girls and stick to the extreme beauty standards of Korea. honestly, they're the most "K-Pop" kpop group that i can think of right now. just following the formula like everyone else.
So Tokki strikes me as a sweet, shy freshman, still sticking to the school uniform. Ruby gives confident senior vibes, who wears what makes her happy even if it looks homemade. And Uvie reminds me of a junior experimenting with alt trends. So now I think we need a sophomore in a desaturated rainbow style to round out the bunch.
It's honestly so nice to hear about artists I really admire having super bad art block. I mean, it sticks, but it's also reassuring to know it's not just an amateur issue
Sounds like Tokki needs a desaturated rainbow friend to balance the scales 😉 Loved these super colorful dolls. Even though Uvie put up a fight they turned out really amazing! ❤
Uvie and Ruby look like they're sisters with the same rebellious and care free personality, while Tokki is the youngest and the complete opposite, shy and cute. I love to imagine what their interactions would be like!
Hey, Katherine, don't worry too much about the unpainted joints. Uvie's got variously colored stripes all over her body: the joints being different from her skin tone really only add to that! A lovely doll as always 💖 EDIT: One way you could even out Tokki among the other two could be adding a fourth doll: monochrome rainbow. Eight values of gray will help to increase the perception of Tokki's vibrancy when the monochrome rainbow stands next to her -- especially if they're in between Tokki and the other two. Plus, it'll give you another chance to use that cute unicycle idea! You could also use it as if each doll is a different grade in high school, from the freshman Tokki to the monochrome rainbow sophomore to junior Ruby to senior Uvie.
THIS! I'm so glad one of the top comments said this. There are so many comments I knew I couldn't say the idea of a trio would actually be more complete with a monochrome doll. I think it would be interesting if it were black, white, and greys.
As much as a struggle as this doll seems to have been for Katherine, the end result is STUNNING. Possibly my favorite doll yet, ngl. They look so so cool and the concept art is amazing and the effect the blacks/blues + neons give is soooo beautiful. Very inspiring doll!!
I can imagine a fourth sibling to bridge the color gap between Tokki and Ruby. Maybe a predominantly pink one? And Uvie turned out insanely good, even with all of the trouble they put you through with the dye lol
I really love that you show us your mistakes and troubles along the way. it makes me feel a lot better about my art and helps me remember that everyone makes mistakes, even those as talented as you!
I'm so sorry this doll was such an intense struggle! Despite everything though, the results are phenomenal. I don't think it's an exaggeration when I say Uvie is probably my new favorite!
as a beginner ooak creator, i really appreciate you showing mistakes and frustrations. it's nice to see even amazing and professional creators can have problems!!! and i like how thorough you are and how you share techniques and ideas, even if you scrap them in the end. it's just really nice ❤
I LOVE that parts of Uvie's hat and pants remind me of this certain craft from when I was a kid. Rainbow scratch paper! I always loved playing with that stuff as a kid and was so amazed at the beautiful color that was hidden underneath the black!
I want to think that Uvie is a senior student who inspires both Ruby and Tokki. She certainly was quite a journey but I love every part of this doll’s design from her clothing to her color palette. And the nineties kid in me is jealous of her razor scooter.
Given the button, maybe Ember is a social media influencer in this universe? Thank you for persevering through all of the difficulties, this is such an adorable girl!
A Pastel/Pastel Rainbow Goth addition to the rainbows might balance them out and would give Toki a friend/sister. Love all the rainbow dolls, can't wait to see more of what you create.
I was honestly thinking pastel rainbow goth too. I mean I'm a goth so I'm biased, but it would definitely fit the bright/dark contrast while pairing with Tokki's softer color palette.
I think Tokki goes well with the others! Just like real life friend groups, everyone is a little different. I like to think Uvie and Ruby appreciate the way Tokki balances them out.
2:11 I really think it’s worth it to explore the alternative dark rainbow color palette! The color scheme would help bridge the gap between Tokki and Uvie. It’d really suit a mori kei style character. Beautiful work as always!
Would be cool to have a Gothic Lolita or Goth-themed Magical Girl-like character to make them a quartet with that dark colour scheme! maybe they can have the unicycle
I thought of perhaps a muted rainbow punk style with the unicyle as well, that way there *is* a "washed out" palette in the mix. I still adored the unicycle punk, it fits so well! But the idea of a true dark rainbow doll is really cool and I like to imagine that that doll would instead have maybe heelies? Only because then she could glide forward in a way that seems almost like she's just floating by in all her gothic ethereal glory~ would also work with a mori girl because they look so soft and foresty! Either way, Katherine does love rainbow so I'm sure if she wants to make more she'll make something killer!
I’d love to see a fourth one! Maybe a rainbow doll that reflects real rainbows from real life where they’re a little transparent and whimsical. Maybe a cottage core or pastel goth/Lolita inspired fashion!
I absolutely love them!!! You should totally continue this series when you need a comfort zone, rainbow doll! The characters can all go to the same high school and each have very different styles! I think that would be so cool!! Love your vids Katherine hope you, baby-lightful and hubby are doing great!
I’m sure someone else has already mentioned this, but it’s so fun that all three names end in the same sound! Makes Uvie, Tokki, and Ruby seem all the more consistent with each other! Great video as always, Katherine!
Love seeing more inclusion of different identities with your dolls! Having a she/they doll character is really neat! I love how Uvie contrasts against Ruby while also remaining very cohesive. They look very at home together! Poor Tokki 😂
As an enby myself, I was super happy hearing her use “they/them” pronouns with them 😭❤️ this character was already low key gender and the possibility of them being gender queer just makes me even happier
I just love how you used both she and they for Uvie. I use all pronouns, so I feel connected with Uvie! You managed to capture “dark rainbow” perfectly!!!
I love how Evie turned out. So fierce and fun. Also can we appreciate how despite having a 3D printer, Katherine made the scooter from scratch! Fantastic
That's why I prefer Katherine over other doll artists. It's not interesting seeing someone print out accessoiries on a 3D printer. I'd much rather see someone's artistic abilities put to the test by making it from scratch, and I love the home made look. 💙 Katherine is just so talented, it's inspiring !!
Oh Uvie is GORGEOUS! Every time I look at them, they just make me giggle in delight. And even though you said Toki doesn't really "fit" anymore, I still love them all as a trio. She's just like the adopted baby sister of two older neon friends! Sorta like a "omg, Rubes! Look at her! She's so cute." "OMG Uvie! Let's adopt her!!" Beautiful doll, beautiful work! SO happy Uvie turned out well in the end!
honestly the “rainbow trio” looks like a found family of alt fashion and rainbow, with the pastel rainbow one looking like the younger sibling to her two older and more vibrant and saturated sibling figures. they’re still exploring what works for them but it definitely helps having their outgoing friends there to support their baby alt journey!!! Which though I know isn’t what was the target but definitely works with what you have gotten!!!
As someone who is struggling with art block, it makes me so happy to see an art goddess like you overcome art block, it’s so inspiring! Ps: love the New Jeans inspo, they’re my fav kpop gg!!
This is genuinely my favourite doll that Dollightful has made! Everything about her is so cool and beautiful. I’d to see a little story with her, Ruby and Tokki hanging out after school maybe at a skate park or mall.
Have you ever done an entirely black and white doll? I think it could be a really cool addition to this series if you want to show the whole range of colors! Edit: You could also try something with pastel colors sprinkled in if you want it to match Tokki! I think it would be a good transition from vivid rainbow, dark rainbow, dark pastel rainbow, and full pastel rainbow
I think this is easily one of my favorite dolls so far!!! Despite the struggles, they look absolutely fantastic! Their hair with that subtle streak in the back, their adorably confident face, ESPECIALLY their clothes--they look straight out of The World Ends With You! Definitely the kind of kid I'd wanna hang out with in school.
Holy shit i was not expecting to see a TWEWY reference in a Dollightful video but you are 1000% right???? I think it's the pants, they really scream Street Fashion Teenager Grappling With Mortality
i dunno about anyone else, but uvie is by far one of my favorite doll customs you’ve made! they're so awesome and it's amazing how you managed to make her look so cool :000
I actually quite like the muted effect on the dyed doll. The scleras look like you painted them with glow-in-the-dark... I feel like you could take some sick trick shots using both dolls with the same outfit, or you could make the scrapped one into a grunge twin for Uvie! You did great with this one, especially considering the challenges it came with. 💙
As an artist, the artblock and not being happy with anything you make is so incredibly relatable! I'm so happy you managed to pull through. Your first designs were also amazing and I think I might have fallen in love with some of them 😳 the final result turned out amazing!
Every once in a while I question myself: Why is it I wanted to be a fashion designer? Where did I get that inspiration, such an idea?- And the Dollightfull drops another one of her gorgeous designs and I'm like "Oh, that's that
Oh!! The unicycle could totally work with a clown doll! I've seen some really cute clown core character designs around lately and I feel like that'd work really well with your style :]
I’d love to see dollightful try to tackle a clown like doll ever since she painted that little cat doll with the pompoms. A light red, yellow and blue palette
I adore how you add little references to your other dolls and the channel in general to your dolls. It’s like they all live in a little world together and know each other
As someone who LOVES kpop and have been enjoying New Jeans as well, I think it’s extremely cool that you got inspiration from them to create this doll! I love seeing two of my artists clash in the best way!
If the discoloration of the joints bothers you so much, you should make her some elbow pads for when she rides her scooter! I’m pretty sure her elbows are her only visible joints so that would probably be an easy fix!❤
I love how Uvie looks! They definitely give the rebel/mischievous aesthetic and I can see the scooter they carry around as like something from their childhood that they just refuse to give up
Funnily enough, I also like how we got a different variety of styles with tokki having a cute and bubbly style, and ruby having a coll and cutesy style with the vibrant colors and Uvie having the cool Y2K kind of style, it really does bring out the character's personality in a way that is presented by hollow dolls
her outfit, the hat especially, has this like- homemade/customised feel to it? like she thrifted all these pieces and painted her own designs or made the bunny ears and attached them to an old hat she found :) she looks amazing
That’s exactly what I was thinking when she mentioned that part of the hat looking messy! The idea of Uvie customizing their clothes is cute! Like they painted the cool designs on the pants, added the ears to the hat, made their cat paw gloves… because where in the world could you buy clothes that cool? 😜
Let me tell you - she was worth the struggle! I'm not usually a fan of dark or neon colours, but she's so adorable, and all those details!!! It's also exciting to see you customize g3 dolls, AND YOU RELEASED A G3 PATTERN TOO!!! I
This doll is so beautiful! She looks right at home at a rave or skating rink. I can imagine her being the party girl that carries a boombox around or turns her headphones inside out so that everyone can hear the music lol. I am sorry about how difficult she was to make. All artists have those days, but those days make the best art pieces. As an artist with little interest or understanding in fashion it amazes me that you can think of so many clothing designs. Meanwhile I am stuck with simple dresses, school uniforms, shirt, shorts, jeans, and whatnot.
I come back to this video a lot, the art block and setbacks are so real 😄. Shame about the first body, but you could totally salvage it as an armature for a cloth doll (like Bibi the alien) or cover it in fur perhaps
The unicycle character was amazing! Maybe they can be used as a muted tone rainbow? They seem like theyd match that pallet. Also, i feel genderfluid vibes from them!
I love them so bad!! You were talking about the "messiness" of the hat and paws and honestly I love the fact that their aesthetic looks handmade! Like a high schooler decided to you their hand at embroidery and sewing and it looks amazing from the front but it has that feel just because of the "mess ups" in the back!
I’ve not finished the video but just from the thumbnail I can tell that this one will be my favorite from the lineup. The “dark rainbow” just conjures up styles that are closer to my personal alt style. Despite her giving you so many problems I’m really glad you made them Edit: I’m at the end and did you unintentionally make a gender queer character that uses she/they pronouns?? Because if so I love them even more 😭❤️
@@Eclipsesilk they get referred to as 'she' at 29:26 :D (and possibly other times too, but im at the end of the video and that bit just came up). she/they nonbinary icon !!
Oh my goodness, she's so cute. I love how you changed it up a bit from pastels to something a little different. I'm not sure if this one might be my new favourite. 🐸👍
I LOVE Uvie's design SO much because it brought back SO many memories of me heading to arcades, a cosmic themed bowling alley, and golf course as a kid. I may be a 2000s gal, but the 90s style and culture have stuck with me for a long time. I could imagine seeing her with a boom box on the street and doing some pop city styled art on the side of a building with spray paint. Seriously, she's my jam.😉 Plus, I can relate with the art block and the mistakes made along the way. I'm happy you pulled through and didn't give up. The end result was TOTALLY worth it!🥹🎉🎉
You might not ever see this, but I just wanted to thank you. You're a huge inspiration for me, and I always come to your channel when I'm feeling low or need some inspiration for my art. I adore all your projects, and I think your creations are beautiful in their own ways. Thank you, Dollightful, for being my inspiration.
IKR!! It's just so hard to separate them from Christmas, I've found using their pastel counterparts of pink and mint, or even straight up neons to be the best way to achieve the desired effect
I think it’s so funny that all the dolls you’ve had infamous struggles with are similar in asthetic, being ‘dark’ in some way. They’re absolutely fantastic though 🤩
They’re absolutely adorable!! Despite the troubles you had with this doll, I have to say that I love Uvie so much, them and Ruby look so cool together! Good job, as always!
Im actually working on my own repaint for school for a history project! Thank you so much for inspiring me :D I cant wait to watch back some of your videos for techniques i might use :D
I love getting to see you solve the endless problems that come with crafting! Not to mention all the amazing art. Does Tokki being a little mismatched mean we'll get a brighter pastel cutie, because yes please!
I know these 3 were supposed to be a trio, and they're adorable together! Uvie and Ruby look like upperclassmen who've developed their unique styles and adopted Tokki into their group. But if you really want to tie them together, maybe lean for a more pastel goth/sunset color palette, or even a color palette that ranges more in colors similar to seafoam green! In hindsight, it sounds very similar to Tokki's design but if you lean more green it could even out the group with 2 warm colored bases and 2 cool! Your new office studio looks great, and love your videos they're the type of things I can put on in the background while doing my own crafts! :)
I'm genuinely of the belief that Uvie and Ruby are upperclassmen and Tokki is their adopted freshman friend. It's the vibe from the group and I adore it! Despite Uvie's complications they turned out to be such a wonderful doll!

Also, since Uvie and Ruby are different kind of mold (G3) it would make sense that Tokki is an exchange student from another school to RainbowHigh ❤

i would actually die for a more muted, earthy, jewel toned rainbow doll too should you ever decide to do a 4th member, i feel like it could really suit a more 'motherly' upperclassmen, or like a college age older sister. a kinda cottage-core vibe could work really well with that palette! she could match tokki especially well i think!

With an afro and that pompom collar the Mimi-Kuromi doll has??!? Heck yeah!! Lance, black and pink, aaah that'd be awesome. AND THE UNICYCLE!! 🖤🩷🎪🎠🎡
@@Circusmaidomg please 😍😍
love katherine’s turn around from “i don’t really like bands, just songs” to “I LOVE EVERY NEWJEANS SONG” cause, same ❤️ newjeans really helps all of us with inspiration lately. fantastic work katherine, even with the three months of art block!
I don't really like K-Pop or K-Pop culture (because it promotes negative body image and the industry treats its groups terribly), plus I notice a lot of K-Pop groups don't do a good job of making MUSIC as they do ripping off a few music genres and slapping them together. I've only discovered a small handful of solo singers who don't fit into the stereotypical K-Pop style, and I enjoy them very much. That being said, I do want to check out Newjeans, I am always willing to give new groups a shot. I just... hope they don't pull a "K-Pop" as most industry groups do. Lol
@@nomoretwitterhandles to me, they're the same as any other mainstream artist. they just got in early on the 90s/y2k trend and blew up because of it. they're all very young girls and stick to the extreme beauty standards of Korea. honestly, they're the most "K-Pop" kpop group that i can think of right now. just following the formula like everyone else.
Now I want an inverted rainbow doll or a doll that looks like that heat-transfer mood ring material. I dig it!
So Tokki strikes me as a sweet, shy freshman, still sticking to the school uniform. Ruby gives confident senior vibes, who wears what makes her happy even if it looks homemade. And Uvie reminds me of a junior experimenting with alt trends. So now I think we need a sophomore in a desaturated rainbow style to round out the bunch.
The desaturated rainbow sophomore is the emo depressed one
@@kaloofy3500 Now I need an emo rainbow kid.
GIVE THEM THE UNICYCLE
It's honestly so nice to hear about artists I really admire having super bad art block. I mean, it sticks, but it's also reassuring to know it's not just an amateur issue
Sounds like Tokki needs a desaturated rainbow friend to balance the scales 😉 Loved these super colorful dolls. Even though Uvie put up a fight they turned out really amazing! ❤
maybe a clown/clowncore theme to utilize the unicycle
A monochrome rainbow mime clown doll!
With a unicycle!
Oooo sepia or muted rainbow!
Uvie and Ruby look like they're sisters with the same rebellious and care free personality, while Tokki is the youngest and the complete opposite, shy and cute. I love to imagine what their interactions would be like!
Hey, Katherine, don't worry too much about the unpainted joints. Uvie's got variously colored stripes all over her body: the joints being different from her skin tone really only add to that! A lovely doll as always 💖
EDIT: One way you could even out Tokki among the other two could be adding a fourth doll: monochrome rainbow. Eight values of gray will help to increase the perception of Tokki's vibrancy when the monochrome rainbow stands next to her -- especially if they're in between Tokki and the other two. Plus, it'll give you another chance to use that cute unicycle idea! You could also use it as if each doll is a different grade in high school, from the freshman Tokki to the monochrome rainbow sophomore to junior Ruby to senior Uvie.
THIS! I'm so glad one of the top comments said this. There are so many comments I knew I couldn't say the idea of a trio would actually be more complete with a monochrome doll. I think it would be interesting if it were black, white, and greys.
Yess and if the monochrome doll is based on a mime the unicycle will make more sense
I love this idea
SHE COULD EVEN MAKE IT A MIME SO THE UNICYCLE MAKES SENSE
I love that idea so much! She should so do that if she has the time. 💕
As much as a struggle as this doll seems to have been for Katherine, the end result is STUNNING. Possibly my favorite doll yet, ngl. They look so so cool and the concept art is amazing and the effect the blacks/blues + neons give is soooo beautiful. Very inspiring doll!!
I can imagine a fourth sibling to bridge the color gap between Tokki and Ruby. Maybe a predominantly pink one? And Uvie turned out insanely good, even with all of the trouble they put you through with the dye lol
I really love that you show us your mistakes and troubles along the way. it makes me feel a lot better about my art and helps me remember that everyone makes mistakes, even those as talented as you!
I'm so sorry this doll was such an intense struggle! Despite everything though, the results are phenomenal. I don't think it's an exaggeration when I say Uvie is probably my new favorite!
as a beginner ooak creator, i really appreciate you showing mistakes and frustrations. it's nice to see even amazing and professional creators can have problems!!!
and i like how thorough you are and how you share techniques and ideas, even if you scrap them in the end. it's just really nice ❤
the smirk and the hands... there's no debate that this is the doll with the most personality
Mhm
Sticks out in the group too
I LOVE that parts of Uvie's hat and pants remind me of this certain craft from when I was a kid. Rainbow scratch paper! I always loved playing with that stuff as a kid and was so amazed at the beautiful color that was hidden underneath the black!
I want to think that Uvie is a senior student who inspires both Ruby and Tokki. She certainly was quite a journey but I love every part of this doll’s design from her clothing to her color palette. And the nineties kid in me is jealous of her razor scooter.
Given the button, maybe Ember is a social media influencer in this universe? Thank you for persevering through all of the difficulties, this is such an adorable girl!
A Pastel/Pastel Rainbow Goth addition to the rainbows might balance them out and would give Toki a friend/sister. Love all the rainbow dolls, can't wait to see more of what you create.
I was honestly thinking pastel rainbow goth too. I mean I'm a goth so I'm biased, but it would definitely fit the bright/dark contrast while pairing with Tokki's softer color palette.
@@gatyunla Yes, as a pastel goth I thought so as well.
The fact that I haven’t watched your videos in like 3 years and yet that intro is still the same. The nostalgia 🪐🛸
I think Tokki goes well with the others! Just like real life friend groups, everyone is a little different. I like to think Uvie and Ruby appreciate the way Tokki balances them out.
2:11 I really think it’s worth it to explore the alternative dark rainbow color palette! The color scheme would help bridge the gap between Tokki and Uvie. It’d really suit a mori kei style character. Beautiful work as always!
Would be cool to have a Gothic Lolita or Goth-themed Magical Girl-like character to make them a quartet with that dark colour scheme! maybe they can have the unicycle
I thought of perhaps a muted rainbow punk style with the unicyle as well, that way there *is* a "washed out" palette in the mix. I still adored the unicycle punk, it fits so well! But the idea of a true dark rainbow doll is really cool and I like to imagine that that doll would instead have maybe heelies? Only because then she could glide forward in a way that seems almost like she's just floating by in all her gothic ethereal glory~ would also work with a mori girl because they look so soft and foresty!
Either way, Katherine does love rainbow so I'm sure if she wants to make more she'll make something killer!
I’d love to see a fourth one! Maybe a rainbow doll that reflects real rainbows from real life where they’re a little transparent and whimsical. Maybe a cottage core or pastel goth/Lolita inspired fashion!
UPPPPPP YESSSSSS IT WOULD BE SO PRETTY AAAA
I absolutely love them!!! You should totally continue this series when you need a comfort zone, rainbow doll! The characters can all go to the same high school and each have very different styles! I think that would be so cool!! Love your vids Katherine hope you, baby-lightful and hubby are doing great!
The moment I heard Katherine say New Jeans I had a heart attack their style and vibe is so inspiring 🐰
Oh yeah, their sus lyrics and MVs are SOOOO inspiring ! 🤗🌈💖
🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure someone else has already mentioned this, but it’s so fun that all three names end in the same sound! Makes Uvie, Tokki, and Ruby seem all the more consistent with each other! Great video as always, Katherine!
Love seeing more inclusion of different identities with your dolls! Having a she/they doll character is really neat!
I love how Uvie contrasts against Ruby while also remaining very cohesive. They look very at home together! Poor Tokki 😂
As an enby myself, I was super happy hearing her use “they/them” pronouns with them 😭❤️ this character was already low key gender and the possibility of them being gender queer just makes me even happier
Uvie x Ruby? Yeah sure I’m all for it
@@kimuires Her water dragon doll is also an enby and they gave everyone (me included) such intense gender envy
I just love how you used both she and they for Uvie. I use all pronouns, so I feel connected with Uvie! You managed to capture “dark rainbow” perfectly!!!
I must agree, I felt greatly heartened - I use she/her and they/them
I love how Evie turned out. So fierce and fun. Also can we appreciate how despite having a 3D printer, Katherine made the scooter from scratch! Fantastic
That's why I prefer Katherine over other doll artists. It's not interesting seeing someone print out accessoiries on a 3D printer. I'd much rather see someone's artistic abilities put to the test by making it from scratch, and I love the home made look. 💙 Katherine is just so talented, it's inspiring !!
Oh Uvie is GORGEOUS! Every time I look at them, they just make me giggle in delight. And even though you said Toki doesn't really "fit" anymore, I still love them all as a trio. She's just like the adopted baby sister of two older neon friends! Sorta like a "omg, Rubes! Look at her! She's so cute." "OMG Uvie! Let's adopt her!!" Beautiful doll, beautiful work! SO happy Uvie turned out well in the end!
I love it when she 'failes' only to make another magnificent doll
the amount of detail going into this dolls outfit is always going to be the most impressive thing to me
I vote giving her a grayscale counterpart with the same vibe. Love Uvie 🖤 she’s so cute
i WAS THINKING THE SAME THINGGGGGG
honestly the “rainbow trio” looks like a found family of alt fashion and rainbow, with the pastel rainbow one looking like the younger sibling to her two older and more vibrant and saturated sibling figures.
they’re still exploring what works for them but it definitely helps having their outgoing friends there to support their baby alt journey!!!
Which though I know isn’t what was the target but definitely works with what you have gotten!!!
As someone who is struggling with art block, it makes me so happy to see an art goddess like you overcome art block, it’s so inspiring! Ps: love the New Jeans inspo, they’re my fav kpop gg!!
This is genuinely my favourite doll that Dollightful has made! Everything about her is so cool and beautiful. I’d to see a little story with her, Ruby and Tokki hanging out after school maybe at a skate park or mall.
Have you ever done an entirely black and white doll? I think it could be a really cool addition to this series if you want to show the whole range of colors!
Edit: You could also try something with pastel colors sprinkled in if you want it to match Tokki! I think it would be a good transition from vivid rainbow, dark rainbow, dark pastel rainbow, and full pastel rainbow
I think this is easily one of my favorite dolls so far!!! Despite the struggles, they look absolutely fantastic! Their hair with that subtle streak in the back, their adorably confident face, ESPECIALLY their clothes--they look straight out of The World Ends With You! Definitely the kind of kid I'd wanna hang out with in school.
Holy shit i was not expecting to see a TWEWY reference in a Dollightful video but you are 1000% right???? I think it's the pants, they really scream Street Fashion Teenager Grappling With Mortality
When she mentioned the idea of a dark rainbow theme, I immediately thought of how cool a scene doll would look like in Dollightful's artstyle!
i dunno about anyone else, but uvie is by far one of my favorite doll customs you’ve made! they're so awesome and it's amazing how you managed to make her look so cool :000
I actually quite like the muted effect on the dyed doll. The scleras look like you painted them with glow-in-the-dark... I feel like you could take some sick trick shots using both dolls with the same outfit, or you could make the scrapped one into a grunge twin for Uvie! You did great with this one, especially considering the challenges it came with. 💙
As an artist, the artblock and not being happy with anything you make is so incredibly relatable! I'm so happy you managed to pull through. Your first designs were also amazing and I think I might have fallen in love with some of them 😳 the final result turned out amazing!
It's beautiful! The unicycle idea was really cool though! It was definitely worth the wait!
the videos been out for 2 minutes 😭
@@FinnValentineB I meant judging by the cover and watching it so far 😅
She’s so cool, I’m also glad you decided to redo her body and face it was bugging me🥲
Every once in a while I question myself: Why is it I wanted to be a fashion designer? Where did I get that inspiration, such an idea?- And the Dollightfull drops another one of her gorgeous designs and I'm like "Oh, that's that
I love you dolls you make! They’re so fun and unique :)
Thank you very much!
Oh!! The unicycle could totally work with a clown doll! I've seen some really cute clown core character designs around lately and I feel like that'd work really well with your style :]
YESS!! let her see this comment!!!
I’d love to see dollightful try to tackle a clown like doll ever since she painted that little cat doll with the pompoms. A light red, yellow and blue palette
And Halloween is coming up too! Perhaps she could do a spooky clown on a unicycle?
@@lasaintepoutine if theyre only spooky that's cute but my mind immediately went to scary and I scared myself 😭😭
@@fruitysoupy I mean, scary is good too, it’s Halloween! ;p
I adore how you add little references to your other dolls and the channel in general to your dolls. It’s like they all live in a little world together and know each other
As someone who LOVES kpop and have been enjoying New Jeans as well, I think it’s extremely cool that you got inspiration from them to create this doll! I love seeing two of my artists clash in the best way!
If the discoloration of the joints bothers you so much, you should make her some elbow pads for when she rides her scooter! I’m pretty sure her elbows are her only visible joints so that would probably be an easy fix!❤
It'd be a really cute idea aswell.
I love how Uvie looks! They definitely give the rebel/mischievous aesthetic and I can see the scooter they carry around as like something from their childhood that they just refuse to give up
Funnily enough, I also like how we got a different variety of styles with tokki having a cute and bubbly style, and ruby having a coll and cutesy style with the vibrant colors and Uvie having the cool Y2K kind of style, it really does bring out the character's personality in a way that is presented by hollow dolls
Honestly I adored the first concept on the unicycle!! Her entire vibe was amazing it's unfortunate she wasn't used! She'd be such a amazing oc
truly. Might have to make a cyber-punk unicycler rebel character for ttrpgaming now
her outfit, the hat especially, has this like- homemade/customised feel to it? like she thrifted all these pieces and painted her own designs or made the bunny ears and attached them to an old hat she found :) she looks amazing
Right? It makes them feel very punk!
That’s exactly what I was thinking when she mentioned that part of the hat looking messy! The idea of Uvie customizing their clothes is cute! Like they painted the cool designs on the pants, added the ears to the hat, made their cat paw gloves… because where in the world could you buy clothes that cool? 😜
Oh my goodness I love this doll! Also, the comparison of the dyed and un-dyed doll is crazy, what a journey, I’m glad to see Uvie through it all!
I like how the concept art incorporated black hairstyles it’s really cool to see in dolls 😁
Let me tell you - she was worth the struggle! I'm not usually a fan of dark or neon colours, but she's so adorable, and all those details!!! It's also exciting to see you customize g3 dolls, AND YOU RELEASED A G3 PATTERN TOO!!! I
*they
@@oldenoughtobeyourmom221both she and they is used throughout the video
@@oldenoughtobeyourmom221Who cares about the freaking gender of a DOLL. Plus the doll looks like a girl some I’m gonna use she/ her pronouns 😟
@@oldenoughtobeyourmom221it’s she/they! It’s stated on the Instagram!
@@oldenoughtobeyourmom221 ouch, sorry, didn't mean to mispronoun them, I probably heard wrong throughout the video!
Oh my gosh I love her! She is the definition of "Rawr" in her final concept art
The hand MODIFICATIONS! Thats so cool
Glowy 👀
This doll is so beautiful! She looks right at home at a rave or skating rink. I can imagine her being the party girl that carries a boombox around or turns her headphones inside out so that everyone can hear the music lol. I am sorry about how difficult she was to make. All artists have those days, but those days make the best art pieces. As an artist with little interest or understanding in fashion it amazes me that you can think of so many clothing designs. Meanwhile I am stuck with simple dresses, school uniforms, shirt, shorts, jeans, and whatnot.
I come back to this video a lot, the art block and setbacks are so real 😄. Shame about the first body, but you could totally salvage it as an armature for a cloth doll (like Bibi the alien) or cover it in fur perhaps
God I didn't realize how unsaturated the doll was until the comparison! Looks amazing as always
The unicycle character was amazing! Maybe they can be used as a muted tone rainbow? They seem like theyd match that pallet. Also, i feel genderfluid vibes from them!
I need her to make the unicycle design!! I loved that doll so much!!
That or maybe could do an inverted Rainbow Punk style
I need that doll to be made I’m glad others share my opinion
Yesssss
I NEED A RAINBIW CLOWN/JESTER
OK THEYRE MY NEW FAVE DOLL OF URS- the design, the PERSONALITY, the PRONOUNS??? im obsessed with them
I love them so bad!! You were talking about the "messiness" of the hat and paws and honestly I love the fact that their aesthetic looks handmade! Like a high schooler decided to you their hand at embroidery and sewing and it looks amazing from the front but it has that feel just because of the "mess ups" in the back!
I’ve not finished the video but just from the thumbnail I can tell that this one will be my favorite from the lineup. The “dark rainbow” just conjures up styles that are closer to my personal alt style.
Despite her giving you so many problems I’m really glad you made them
Edit: I’m at the end and did you unintentionally make a gender queer character that uses she/they pronouns?? Because if so I love them even more 😭❤️
we love a queer doll
It's totally on purpose! Kathryn has made many inclusive queer characters :3
I believe the character uses only they/them pronouns
@@Eclipsesilk they get referred to as 'she' at 29:26 :D (and possibly other times too, but im at the end of the video and that bit just came up). she/they nonbinary icon !!
Oh my goodness, she's so cute. I love how you changed it up a bit from pastels to something a little different. I'm not sure if this one might be my new favourite. 🐸👍
Seriously the coolest doll photo shoot I’ve ever seen
I LOVE Uvie's design SO much because it brought back SO many memories of me heading to arcades, a cosmic themed bowling alley, and golf course as a kid. I may be a 2000s gal, but the 90s style and culture have stuck with me for a long time. I could imagine seeing her with a boom box on the street and doing some pop city styled art on the side of a building with spray paint. Seriously, she's my jam.😉
Plus, I can relate with the art block and the mistakes made along the way. I'm happy you pulled through and didn't give up. The end result was TOTALLY worth it!🥹🎉🎉
Saaaaaame
You might not ever see this, but I just wanted to thank you. You're a huge inspiration for me, and I always come to your channel when I'm feeling low or need some inspiration for my art. I adore all your projects, and I think your creations are beautiful in their own ways. Thank you, Dollightful, for being my inspiration.
THE GREEN AND RED HAIR AAAAA Green and red outside of Christmas colors is highly underrated 😭💕💕💕
IKR!! It's just so hard to separate them from Christmas, I've found using their pastel counterparts of pink and mint, or even straight up neons to be the best way to achieve the desired effect
uvie feels almost like a neon 90s scene doll, and despite complications they turned out amazing!! the pants are my absolute favorite
I think it’s so funny that all the dolls you’ve had infamous struggles with are similar in asthetic, being ‘dark’ in some way. They’re absolutely fantastic though 🤩
They’re absolutely adorable!! Despite the troubles you had with this doll, I have to say that I love Uvie so much, them and Ruby look so cool together! Good job, as always!
Im actually working on my own repaint for school for a history project! Thank you so much for inspiring me :D I cant wait to watch back some of your videos for techniques i might use :D
Awesome! Hope it's going well and your teacher likes it :D
@@Dollightful thank you!!
Ooo~ Have fun and good luck!!😁😁😁😁
I love getting to see you solve the endless problems that come with crafting! Not to mention all the amazing art. Does Tokki being a little mismatched mean we'll get a brighter pastel cutie, because yes please!
I know these 3 were supposed to be a trio, and they're adorable together! Uvie and Ruby look like upperclassmen who've developed their unique styles and adopted Tokki into their group.
But if you really want to tie them together, maybe lean for a more pastel goth/sunset color palette, or even a color palette that ranges more in colors similar to seafoam green! In hindsight, it sounds very similar to Tokki's design but if you lean more green it could even out the group with 2 warm colored bases and 2 cool!
Your new office studio looks great, and love your videos they're the type of things I can put on in the background while doing my own crafts! :)
