OMG I'm soooooo excited to share 3 NEW customs with y'all from me :D (and just in time for V-Day too!) I'm even gonna show off a custom a fellow mod and member has made for me ^.^
Meet my customs! :D (I feel like you can definitely notice the progress within each one. I still can't paint details XD

I actually started working on Manson FIRST. He isn't a FBR. I just actually used a Rarity , wiped off her eyes and cutie mark and painted Manson's features onto it. Then rehaired him with brilliant black (from Dolly Hair) and sealed him with mod podge. I also sorta styled his hair using fabric glue :D (I wanted to use whatever Hasbro used on Shadow Bolt Dash O.o but I was too lazy to look for answers :P)
I feel like Manson would be considered my 2nd best outta the 3. His hair was secure enough to where I didn't need to use glue for extra support :) but unfortunately he has an awkward gap in his neck :( (I guess I didn't push his head down enough :hmm: oh well, LESSON LEARNED! :D
Next up is Twilight Pink!! XD

They look like a tramp stamp from behind! :lol:
I would rate Twilight as my 3rd best. I started on her while taking a break from Manson. She's a FBR made from Fluttershy (which is funny and weird due to my VERY first Twilight Pink custom that used clay hair was also made from Fluttershy! XD) I learned from this Twi, not to glue the neck plug in first, then put the head on ...I kinda wrecked her in the process of doing that -_-
For the glitter on her wings, I used Martha Stewart's glitter acrylic paint. That woman wants too much for her cheapo glitter paint :L
I also got Twilight's mane colors wrong! X'D I used Candy Apple, Old Bubblegum, and Marmalade (Passionfruit was sold out...so what do ya expect? >_<) I knew I shoulda ordered Cherry Pie for her red streak :/ but you gotta admit...her mane is pretty delicious! :dribble:
Oh and another thing I learned- if I can tug the mane pretty hard without ripping hair out, chances are they don't neee glue for extra security ;) (Twilight can barely turn her head cause dummy me thought that she needed alittle glue in her head for extra security -_-)
And finally

Mary was alittle bit of a challenge considering that I haven't even drawn her out on paper yet O.o so I looked at the real Marilyn Manson's kiddie photo's and incorporated the hair and eye color into Mary Beth. And yes, I think Mary is my 1st best custom from this group :) why? Because I have learned from my mistakes with the other two to make Mary more exceptional ^_^ and she's adorable c: (most likely gotten from her daddy :P )
ONE LAST FAMILY PHOTO!!! XD

Needle and hair methed
Except for I went in the hair holes, came out the neck hole, tied a knot at the end of the hair piece and pulled it through the hair hole :) and I used both a curved needle and a straight packing needle...I like the packing needle better though :P
De hairing courtesy of my boyfriend who loves doing tedious things (he used a pair of tweezers that's long and with a bent tip c: )
Well, I hope y'all like em ^^ and I would love any comments, critiques or whatever from you guys! :D
