Custom monster high

hello again :) 

i have just finished my latest custom monster high doll and it made me think how much my customs have improved since i first began creating them.

so here is my monster high custom journey:

this is a rather informal post as i don't  have anywhere to take photos at the moment because my room is being redecorated and its late at night and I just felt like writing a blog post.

this is my latest custom:

and this is my first doll : /

She is kind of ... well... not very good, BUT everyone has to start somewhere right?

when i fist made her i was so proud of her and i used her as my avatar photo all my accounts, now i just cringe XD

BUT as i said before we all have to start somewhere :)

this was my second custom, much better than my first but still not the best.

i guess shes beautiful in a kind of impressionistic way, but the lines are wobbly and the paint is way too thick. 

here is my third custom, i dont know what i was thinking with those freckles they look like dirt ! :}

the lines are much cleaner this time though :)

now here i kinda had a change of style, a vast improvement on the other three.

but i feel like the face is very flat and two dimensional, she just doesn't have the "life" like the others. 

now on to one of my favorites :)

i went back to the old style and i this time i had learned to thin my paint properly so no thick paint and i had much better control of my lines :)

next up is my unicorn girl:

Im not crazy about her face as i think she looks a bit wall eyed 8}

however im really happy with the eye shadow and lips. As you can tell the liens are a lot smoother however they are still too thick

i also modded this doll to have horse hooves :)

im quite pleased with how these turned out.

and now here is my most recent custom :)

im quite pleased with her as the lines are nice and smooth and she has so much character!

here she is with my first ever custom, you wouldn't be able to tell they were by the the same person unless i had told you! 

you can even see the improvement next to a more recent one :)

anyway the whole point of this post is to say 

DON'T GIVE UP!

by practicing you can improve so much <3

im still no expert and i can improve so much more if i just keep practicing

i really want to start doing repaints with water colour pencils but sealant that works on dolls is really hard to find and expensive where i live :(

i will keep this blog updated with my ongoing customization journey :) 

Blythe !

I finally got myself a blythe and now I'm addicted :) there is just something about their little faces that keep you coming back for more.

I loved my blythe so much that I bought another so without further ado I shall introduce my blythes.

They are both factory blythes that I have customised, there is Carrie (the brunette )and fox (with the red hair).

First I shall show you Carrie 

She is Star Wars themed as I love <3 Star Wars :) 

Here is what she looked like before her customisation:

I think she looks much nicer now :) 

Blythes can have a string that you pull to change the colour of their eyes, I modded this so she can have "sleepy eyes" which basically means she can close her eyes.

On the topic of modding both girls have also been given a "gaze lift/ gaze correction"

Carrie has a glittery Galaxy painted on her eye lids, I added a tiny millennium falcon and Death Star decals on top :) 

The charms on the end of the string you pull to close/change her eyes are a little storm trooper and a lightsaber.

Now on to fox 

Here is a look at her cute little face :)

 Fox is ... Fox themed so I painted a little landscape with a tree and a fox on her eye lids.#

Here is a look at fox's charms. I made the little fox from polymer clay :) 

 And here they are together, aren't they cute? 

That just about wraps it up for today, thanks for reading :)

Extra:

Look at fox's shoes and carrie's camera :) 

Monster high custom frankie stein :)

recently i have been working on a custom monster high doll. i used ghoul spirit Frankie stein doll as my base.  her face up is done using airbrush paint, acrylics and chalk pastels. her hair is fully re rooted in nylon and hand curled. i went for a sweet lolita dolly look and think she came out adorable :)

here is a short photo shoot of her:

i need to think of a name for this sweetie post any suggestions in the comments box !

custom Harley Quinn doll

It's one of my best friends birthday coming up soon, and she is such an amazing friend to me I really wanted to get her something special for her birthday <3 

She loves the sassy DC comics villain Harley Quinn ,so doll customising being something I have done many times before I made her a custom Harley Quinn from a monster high spectra vondergeist.

I am so pleased with how she turned out ! But alas I am a perfectionist and hand made things are never perfect :/ 

It took me about 10 hours to put the whole thing together. I had to repaint the face and hands sew all her clothes and make a custom mallet and Lego mini figure ! All in the name of friendship :) <3 

  

If anyone thinks making cosplay is hard wait till you try it in 1/6th scale ! That tiny catsuit was so hard to sew :) I do like a challenge ! It took three attempts until I had worked out all the kinks, I think it came okay too :) 

So that's it for the lovely Harley , she is so full of character ! She will be going to her new home soon where I know she will be enjoyed and cherished :) 

Happy birthday friend I will not identify for safety resons !!!!!!! <3 :)
