Monsters, Monsters So Bizarre!
Ok, so lately I've been thinking about how (for some reason) nobody in the Monster High fandom has ever seemed to attempt doll designs of the live actors from the original Fright Song music video, so I've gone and done so myself. At least for three of the main dancers
These were done with the idea that I could hopefully make some of them into ooak dolls in the future
Easily identifiable by her ocean blue hair and glittering fish scales on her face, translating her to a doll design was fairly straightforward, she already had fairly simple costuming so I was able to make it more doll-like. I added patterning to her top so it felt less empty, and to give her more Monster features (because this IS a monster high doll after all) I continued her shining scales down her arms. The amount of existing Lagoona G3 pieces I'd be able to use also really help in making this design the most feasible out of the three designs I have for y'all today
I also attempted to give her an accessory kit but as you can see from my sketches, I mostly gave up on that. I do intend to ACTUALLY make her at some point, and Carina Song from Moonspell Magic is literally the PERFECT base doll for this project as her face sculpt and base skin tone match the live actress near exactly
Coincidentally the second of the two ghouls seen staring at the main character in the MV. Her outfit is deceptively simple and I struggled to find good references of her costuming if not for the behind the scenes video .
Since I'd be using a g3 spectra for her, there isn't any additional work I'd have to do to give her monster features, as she'd have the transparent limbs. Most of the difficult part about translating her comes from the amount of sewing that'd be required to make her pieces. There are no existing G3 sculpts that I can sub in for her belt, so it'd have to be fabric. She wears frilly fabric gloves, so I'd need to sew them (relatively easy, they're just wrist cuffs)
Her dress appears to be a white slip dress with a netting or tulle overlay, some sort of sheer fabric with a slight snakeskin-esque print. Now I've changed the print since it'd be difficult to find/source sheer snakeskin print at the correct scale
And the shrug would be made out of chiffon because of how nice and flowy it tends to look at that scale
Lastly, for now, our Draculaura analog for the MV: the Vampire girl. She's the second monster we see on screen and was even referenced in an official Monster High post last year as build-up to the Katseye cover.
Her outfit is INCREDIBLY simple, perhaps a little too simple. She would, at the very least, be relatively easy to make. Not too many plastic pieces required, and a g3 Draculaura would be the perfect base for her thanks to the ears. The only downside is having to paint her face pale as the character seems to paint herself like a mall goth.
The main concern is her shoes, which are knee high converse. Those don't exist in g3 at all so I'd have to borrow from Rainbow High, which means having to cover up branding on the actual sculpting.
Over all there's 7 main ghouls in the live action cast. I plan on doing the Cheetah/Leopard girl and main Zombie girl at some point soon, though as for the Mummy girl and the punk Ghoul I may omit them for the time being as both sort of fade more into the background in my opinion
Anyway that's all I have for y'all for now! Until next time lol
