OMG I'm soooooo excited to share 3 NEW customs with y'all from me
(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!
(I feel like you can definitely notice the progress within each one. I still can't paint details

who's says the Antichrist can't be a softie?
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
(I wanted to use whatever Hasbro used on Shadow Bolt Dash O.o but I was too lazy to look for answers
)
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
oh well, LESSON LEARNED!
Next up is Twilight Pink!!

They look like a tramp stamp from behind!
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!
) 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!
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
)
ONE LAST FAMILY PHOTO!!!

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

Well, I hope y'all like em ^^ and I would love any comments, critiques or whatever from you guys!
