Absolutely stunning work, very well done. Really shows the surreal image of women these dolls portray.

If these were on the market i'd collect them.

These are so beautiful. Women are always beautiful, no matter if they wear makeup or not!

And she's working on such a tiny scale too - the faces can't be more than 2 inches high, probably a lot less.

So, the main question is probably not why toy companies make dolls like these, but why people buy them. We are a seriously weird kind of animal, aren't we? Her stunning artwork makes the "deformities" of the dolls stand out even more.

Really amazing

Insanely good!

While these(especially some of these) are really beautiful and well done, let's be honest here, it has a lot more to do with a talented artist taking their time to hand-paint the dolls with their professional paints, brushes and skill (as opposed to cheap machine-done factory version) than with the whole natural vs makeup look. I do like the natural style, personally, but I also wouldn't mind seeing some made up dolls done like that, would be interesting :P

There have been a lot of these stories in the past year involving Ukrainian artists. It makes me want to go visit and explore that country.

Gorgeous and Awesome! Such a positive improvement both is looks and body positivity! It looks like she uses glass eyes for her dolls. I'm inspired to hunt for some old Bratz and see what I can do. : )

Good job! Excellent work

Look so real that they have human spirits.

The work is stunning but I think the goal of it (although very noble) is a bit confusing... the reason the dolls don't look hyper realistic is due to COST, plain and simple. It would cost a lot of money to hand brush each doll with this much detail. This is why hand painted models and statuettes cost a lot more than a barbie. This is why these cheap dolls have simplistic artwork on them that look cartoony. Kids also love cartoons, not hyper realistic miniature adults.

AMAZING!!!! If you aren't selling these as serious art, you should be.

I think this is one of the most wonderful issues of Bored Panda that I have ever seen. Congratulations to all the contributors! I especially liked the dolls that are repainted and the Maine C**n Kittens. I only wish that the kittens had been paired with their grown-up pictures.

I thought it was photoshop at first! WOW!

It would be nice if she commisions parents to have their kids’ faces painted into dolls or to make miniatures of them.😊

So beautiful! It would be interesting to see which version a child would choose if dolls were placed side by side.

Time to start a realistic doll collection

Good work, but the Bratz ones look like anorexic girls when redone. Kinda creepy.

I work on these dolls too. And lots of other artists do. I personally work as Handmade from Ooak Tree. But just go to Etsy and check for "OOAK Monster High" - there are plenty of them :) DSC07103_m...62e353.jpg

I call shenanigans. The artist may be repainting these digitally, but several of them are clearly not repainted physically. take a look at some of the lips, they have physically changed shape and width. so if these were done in real life, it's more than just paint.

Where can I buy these?

why she sexualize children toys? Present these bare breast and show pants. Would be nice to show to child but has to teach thst artist are not always smart and realism is technique not intelligence and imagination .... not nice. Imginative toys has point that childs brains develop, what realistic toys dont support but make them dull, dullness has been serious diagnose, counted also dangtous because nothing else than killing, blood and guts shakes them, so called wake.
