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
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.
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
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.
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 ^^
"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
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
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
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 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 :]
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!
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
"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
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
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 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.
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
This design has so much personality. She looks more like a seamonster than in the original, and the braid looks great on her.
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 ❤
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
if your designs were added to the official, i would watch the whole MH with no complaints
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!

When your sketch popped on screen I got so excited I nearly threw my phone! Lol
She’s so cute! Omg I love her! 🥺❤️😍

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
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.
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!)
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
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
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.
I like how she looks more monster like. Wish they mad leaned more into the monster aspects for the dolls
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 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
Blue Lagoona is best Lagoona, I can't wait for Frankie whenever you do her!
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.
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
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!!
I would KILL to have your design as a doll
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
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
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 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 ^^
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
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.
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 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
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❤
Maybe i should make this design into a doll if i get into doll customisation, sounds like a cool idea
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
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
I also love how you gave her a swimmers build, amazing all together.
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.
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.
OG Lagoon a is the first Monster High doll I owned. I really like your redesign. Thank you for making her blue again
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.
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 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!
If they really wanted to make everyone a different color they could've made her blueish green since they can't make Frankie green (for those who don't know its universals bs copyright laws regarding Frankensteins monster) its much closer to blue and she's not Frankensteins monster so they could've probably gotten away with it
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
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
She looks soo amazing with your art style! I love it🥰
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.
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.
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
The issue I have with her new design is she looks like her sister kelppy. Your redesign looks great
Thank you and lol i know right XD
MANNN UR REDESIGNS KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER UR SO TALENTED
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 😢
YAYY THIS REDESIGN IS SO COOL!! I cant wait for you to do Frankie!! :D
thank you and me too I have so many fun ideas for Frankie
I like the concept of the ombre, they just did a really bad and cheap ombre
i do like the basics of what they're doing for g3 frankie though and their design is pretty damn awesome
The new Lagoon looks like a dropfish. Cool re-design.
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
Monster High was my favorite doll line and i wish i bought more dolls. But what upset me the most is that reboots don't have gothic style and that sucks. Og artstyle was really iconic and if someone put some effort you cold have more different body types. G3 Lagoona to me isn't ugly, she is cute but her outfit doesn't work and her blue legs doesn't work. It would be better if this character is different character.
Yeah g3 lagoona is more background character material
@@LovesArt23 sorry I forgot to metion, I love your redesign of Lagoona. You made something original and stayed true to original character. You should work at animation industry.
What. Da. HELL?!! THEY MADE MY POOR SWEET CHILL ASSUIE BABY LATIN?! HOW DARE THEY REPLACE HER PRECIOUS ACCENT?!!!
Your designs are amazing, this is the best and my absolute favourite lagona redesign😍, also i aspire to love my art the way you are inlove with your designs 😄
Thank you and ive just recently started to love my work like this ive always wanted to make dolls so to show my love like this is a dream come true 😳
Your redesign is so much more original than anything I’ve seen in gen 2-5, and I’m DYING to see more! I really hope that Mattel will pull their heads out of Karen’s(speaking for all the people out there who made this happen) ass and bring back our gothic/grungy lil monsters. Also… I want my lesbian fashion designer werewolf back, as well as my ADORABLE animal loving beach babe jock(not this Ariana Grande knock-off) back, AND my GREEN naive body-parts-assemble frankie fine BACK! Cleo can stay a mean girl with trust issues, that suits her. But gimme my babies back!
Lagoona Pink
Also, why they didn’t include ANYTHING goth in this reboot? That’s so stupid
Nope not here this is a blue house I mean my whole bathroom is underwater theme so blue she will stay
@@LovesArt23, sounds like a cool bathroom
@@LovesArt23, also that’s a cool redesign, colours are pretty and ahh it’s just pleasing to look at, major improvement upon original
They may with other characters, Thare is still alot of time this is only the first wave of dolls
@@Icarusnight567 true but with the show being about the main cast well be following them the most and the background characters we do have aren't gothic anymore either
I'm trying to make my own redesigns, and you really did remind me a lot about what makes Lagoona... well, Lagoona.
Also, that is a BOMB design, the bright, neon colors on her are honestly perfect, she really looks like a sea fish. I love my sea lady so much...
Lagoona was also my favorite growing up, in fact she was the first doll I had ever gotten from that line. I adored her so much! So seeing how ALL of these characters I fell in love with as a child are being stripped of their gothic aesthetics and changed so drastically really hurts. It almost feels like when someone draws you a picture and to you it’s the most beautiful thing in the world, but then someone else sees it and draws it in their own style, but they don’t stay true to the original and pretty much throw colors in that don’t look as good, this person then says “Look! I made it better!” Which hits like a punch to the gut.
That’s what gen 2-5 are to me.
So sad to see Love discontinue this series, I would have loved to see her draw Draculaura and Cleo. 💔
She looks so cool!
No one said the reboot was a good idea. Who said that?! And Lagoona was my favorite character because I loved her lay-back and chill attitude and now... she looks like her pet Neptuna became humanoid and she acts so... off from how she originally was ughhhh. Your redesign is better than the reboots!
She’s gorgeous!! And I’m rrly looking forward to frankie, they’ve always been my fave and especially with the restrictions on her new design (copyright and so) I feel like it’s a fun challenge to make them look pretty (if you’re going with them!)
OMG SOMEONE WHO SAYS FLIP FLOPS INSTEAD OF *THONGS*
NEW SUB!!
Ayo, this is a flawless re design
Your Lagoona design is sooooo cool!!!!!! Would love a doll of this version! I really like that you brought back the emphasis on her love of swimming, you'd think that would be obvious to incorporate but I guess gen 3 just forgot or something 😒
ah yes typhoona pink, lagoonas cousin!
Yup thats what she'll be to me now, only way I can let this slide XD
The new Lagoona looks like a vsco girl
2:22 Lagoona literally looks like a human here why did anyone at Mattel think this was a good idea?!
I want to buy your doll version of lagoona because she looks amazing.
Random take but the gen 3 cartoon has a weird Pokémon art style, like the newer games, you can see it in franky
YO!! Honestly this design is really freaking cool, I mean it! 💙👀
I remember having a monster high doll that was given to me. I believe it was Dracula.(idk her name) Tho I’ve never seen the shows only knew they rlly popular back then.
Her name is Draculaura
I remember my first time falling in love with Monster High. I grew up with a love for Barbie dolls but over time I guess I started falling out of it. Then randomly I saw Monster High Dolls and I just- XD fell hard. I started getting the dolls and movies- basically whatever I could get my hands on. I still love them but I do hate a lot of what they changed. I mean I might get a doll? I do love Cleo’s reboot design. It just hits different lol.
But! Other then that I love ur redesigns keep it up girllll
Gained so much more respect for u once I started learning doing Adobe illustrator... THAT SHIT IS HARD
Lol yeah especially since I'm not even using it the way your supposed to but my lines have never been cleaner XD
As a child lagoona was my second favorite character and my favorite doll, I love her hair SO MUCH
Lagoona pink feels like an axolotl now
Lol i know right I saw talk thats shes based around a piranha and I'm like ok piranhas are green with red bellys' not sure who thought they where pink XD
The fact that they changed her personality to a airhead, naive even, sporty only girl made me so disappointed
