Customizing Red Rainbow High Doll with Dark Aesthetic
- The speaker explores various techniques and styles in customization and creation, transitioning from fairy tale to fantasy to anime demon themes.
- The focus of this video is customizing a new addition to the speaker's collection, a red Rainbow High doll, which cost around fifty dollars.
- The initial step in customizing involves restoring the doll to its pre-factory painted state by removing the hair, inspired by another artist's customization of the same doll.
- The process of removing the doll's head involves softening it in hot water and then carefully removing the eyes, which have a vinyl backing.
- The factory paint is removed using 100 acetone, and new eyes are created using UV resin and a pigment mixture, following a technique to replicate a human iris.
- The eyes are painted using a pointillism technique for the base and a triatio technique for a striped iris design, inspired by traditional Italian restoration methods.
- The speaker expresses excitement about trying new techniques and appreciates the use of old techniques in modern art forms like mini painting and warhammer painting.
- The eyes are detailed with veins and shadowing using watered-down red paint, with plans to enhance the veins in future attempts.
- The face-up process begins with shaping the doll's eyes using watercolor pencils, aiming for a Victorian London gothic aesthetic inspired by the musical "Jekyll and Hyde."

"Doll Customization: Freckles, Lashes, and Eyes"
- Freckles were added to the doll's skin, following a pattern of white and brown spots to mimic a natural look, with white freckles being common for individuals with porcelain skin. False lashes were cut into small pieces and individually placed to create fluffy eyelashes, focusing on thickness in the outer corners to achieve a specific eye shape. Craft glue was used to secure the lashes, and additional lash ends were added for accentuation.
- The doll's eyes were set by placing them in the eye sockets and securing them with blue tack instead of a permanent substance like milliput to allow for easy adjustments in case of mistakes. The next steps in the doll customization process will involve working on hair accessories and clothes, with feedback on the doll's face welcomed in the comments section for future improvements.
