      I can only imagine our descendants and/or invading alien species facing our ancient "Venus of Willendorf" (circa 28-25,000. BCE) alongside this completed "Princess Serenity" (circa 2020 CE) and wondering what incredible Atlantean magicks were used in the making of this thing... 😂 This is some incredible craftsmanship Leona has done; for most of the video I wondered about her methods but at the end it all became clear-- my mind is blown and I'm pretty sure I'll never get it all back again.... 😜

    As a former modeler that built mainly Nissan Skylines and JGTC vehicles, this video of what at first glance looks like a $150~ish kit has me convinced that you took this thing and with your skillset, SINGLE-HANDEDLY put enough heart & soul into Serenity to turn her EASILY into a $500+ Garage Kit figure. Also, i know the Modeler's Struggle, so your relevance to my younger hobby days has earned you a sub.
    I'd be over the moon to see what you can possibly do if you were to try a GK of Jibril from NGNL on the minute offchance, but give her a custom color motif instead of her anime design!

The end result was so so beautiful! I crochet, and being 100+ hours into a queen size blanket made with fingering yarn (thin yarn) and stuck on a boring but easy to f*** up portion of the pattern, I related really, really hard to the part at 38:20 with the tape. Definitely captures the feeling of insanity that comes with crafting. Excited to watch some more of your videos!

As a life-long figure collector, crafter and die hard Moonie, I’m going to need help picking my jaw up off the floor. 🤯😍😭💖 I’m deep into needlework as a hobby and work as a writer/filmmaker, so I definitely share in your perfectionism and love of detail work! But I can’t draw or paint worth my life, even though my dad’s a painter, but I found this absolutely mesmerizing to watch!! So glad the algorithm has been relentlessly recommending your video to me for weeks! I love to watch craft videos before bed, and so I threw this on, thinking it would lull me to sleep... NOPE!! I watched the whole hour and the time flew by in the best way. I LOVE that you kept your mistakes in, it gave me even more of an appreciation and respect for the finished product! It was amazing to get to experience so much of your process, and I enjoyed the jokes (I think ALL makers will relate HARD to your masking tape to the face breakdown!!) and I loved that you injected so much of your fun personality into this video. Everything - from how beautifully this was shot, the awesome scripting and editing of the video, and OF COURSE the figure itself - left me positively awestruck. This was truly a labor of love!! The figure came out GORGEOUS and you brought Serenity to life in such a mind-blowing, beautiful way, and I cannot gush enough about your talent! (The eyes especially, holy crap, they looked even better than the decals, there’s so much life and spark in your work. Naoko-san would be so proud! I even went back and watched you airbrush and Holo the hell out of that skirt again, it’s so satisfying to see and the finished product is exquisite.) I hope you feel incredibly proud of your work and the finished product, it’s beyond lovely. I’ve definitely subscribed and look forward to checking out more of your work! 💖

    I come back to re-watch this video when I have a rough day. The final reveal is such a satisfying result to lot of hard work and I find it calming. The model itself is still very much my favorite kit that Leona's done. Beautiful sculpting for the kit plus Leona's extremely skilled paint job really make this Princess Serenity uniquely gorgeous.

    I had a pretty rough week (like most people, I assume). I was really panicking today because I worry a lot about my son and having him always on his own at such a young age for the foreseeable future. He's my first, so it's just us and his dad in the house. Today it's Mothering Sunday in the UK and it just really got bad for me, worrying about his development. I've been reading news obsessively and I couldn't think of a single thing I'd enjoy doing to try and keep some sanity.
    On a whim, this evening I just looked at the suggestions RUclips gave me and saw this video and decided to watch it: you really let me forget about my worries for a little bit and for the first time in who knows how long I just relaxed a bit.
    Thanks!

    @MommyOfZoeAndLiam 3 года назад +2

    This is just wow! I have never seen one of your videos and I am not really into Sailor Moon or Anime, but I watch HeXtian and Poppen Atelier and this came up in my feed. I am just in awe of this work. I didn't know these types of kits existed. It is sort of like the miniatures and models that people create for DnD or model airplanes or cars. Watching you carefully tape off the petals to spray them with 3 different colors and then add the veining to give it even more depth was just mind-boggling. It is one of those details that someone might not even realize they are seeing but it just gives them that extra bit of depth and life. I see how frustrated you were and I hope that once you were finally finished you could take a step back and see the beauty that you gave it. I know sometimes it is hard to ignore the mistakes you see where it didn't turn out exactly as you envisioned but try to remember you are the only one who sees those flaws, to us they are just artistic choices. When looking at the whole thing, I love how her skirt has an iridescent quality to it. I can't tell if that is actually iridescent or if you sprayed a fine wash of pink over the bottom and then blue above that in the curve where the skirt swoops out into the flair. That iridescent shimmer over the white is just phenomenal. I don't know how many hours you spent on this but the painstaking lengths you went to are apparent in the final product. While the subject may not be something I know a lot about, I can still appreciate the beauty in this one-of-a-kind piece and it is so cool that no matter how many are created in the world, none will be exactly like yours.

    Really glad I ran into this video by chance! More so than just the craftmanship it takes to paint and complete this kit I think truly what I appreciated was you letting us see your trials. I'm still in the very beginning stages of customizing and often find myself stopping the moment I make a mistake - because for some reason my perfectionism insists perfect or nothing/not to even try - so seeing someone so skilled actually having to figure it out and push through their disappointment really resonated with me. Thank you so much for this and it all turned out beautifully.

After I was done watching I didn't even realise I had just watched an hour long video because it was so soothing (yes, even with the mistakes) and interesting. I know zero to nothing about this art form so everything was a new experience for me, but I am so thankful that you shared this video with us.

It was just the right distraction during these difficult times.

    I saw this in my recommended and decided to click it because of my love of Sailor Moon. I noticed the length of the video and had planned to skip around to random parts, but ended up watching the entire video. Your dedication and attention to detail are nothing short of spectacular. An absolutely stunning figure. When you were struggling with the frame and had repainted from the metallic pink I thought you would use a rose gold (maybe not something you had) but the silver with pink overlay turned out beautifully. You have earned a sub, and if you other videos are anything as good as this one, I am sure I will greatly enjoy them.

    aaaaah so its princess serenity before crowned as neo queen serenity cosplaying as neo queen serenity (because of the hair minus the crown) hha, actually on the "Original" artwork (manga) the dress often shaded with blue and pink/purple, so you still true to the original design, on the anime adaptation the 90's anime took more liberties on the design, color palette, even some of the storyline and character personalities, but its still an enjoyable anime tbh, the crystal tried to match everything from the original manga source so i appreciated their effort, since I'm more used with the manga, anyway, your end result is stunning, and thank you for spreading knowledge about garage kits, model kits, etc, because I often saw comment complaining about its not a complete figure when it actually marked as garage kits.
