Description Well, I saw this beautiful picture drawn by ~ladylucrezia and she said something about coloring it if we'd like, so I did.

The funny thing is, I was originally going to use earth-y tones until I saw the dice in her hair (something I didn't notice but caused me to start laughing hysterically during my Theatre History class ) and knew I had to do pink! Hehe. Pink.

Anyways, over about a week I proceded to color it in various classes at school, and yeah. I'm not the best person at coloring, but it's so much fun!

I'm not that good at coloring, but I want to learn better... mainly, because I have nothing better to do in Theatre History *faints* That class is so boring!

I still beg my mother for help with my stuffs too, so don't worry ~ you'll always be asking her for help ^__^;

Very nicely colored! ^_^ My eyes don't agree with teh pinkness, but that's really nice nonetheless. Great job on the shading, especially in the underskirt/underkimono and white fur on the sleeves. =] I can never get that blue shadow right on white stuff. O-o; Great job. ^_^

taeliac In reply to faradayrx [2005-10-10 21:39:12 +0000 UTC]

LOL! Yeah... teh pink >__<*

The only reason the blue shading turned out even okay is playing with layers, and adjusting the curves on that channel, and making it really transparent ^___^;

Thank you tho!!

I agree with the last comment, it'd be gorgeous as an actual outfit.

LOL! One more to add to the list?

I'll suggest it to Lucrezia, but she definitely wouldn't do it in the colors (I think!)

Thank you too for the fav!

Yasuda In reply to taeliac [2005-10-09 07:39:13 +0000 UTC]

Yup. Of course, it'd depend on how busy you are!

No problem about the .

Is Lucrezia another cosplayer/commissioner/(is seamstress the right way to put it? )

Yasuda In reply to taeliac [2005-10-10 23:18:38 +0000 UTC]

I'll take a look through her gallery and whatnot. I think it'd be worth watching her!

GloomilyEuphoric [2005-10-08 20:50:38 +0000 UTC]

Thats hella spiffy. I really like the lacyesque fabric around the sleeves and part in the lower half. Is the obi a coset?! I would love to see this on a real model.

GloomilyEuphoric In reply to taeliac [2005-10-09 08:18:09 +0000 UTC]

They really are great. I have always wanted one but its so hard to find a reasonable priced male design corset. Very expensive too, like $300 to $500! O well I figure I should save up the money for a sewing machine first. It would be alot cheaper lol.

taeliac In reply to GloomilyEuphoric [2005-10-10 21:45:56 +0000 UTC]

I know! Well, even female corset designs are too damned expensive! The good one's, that is!

If I do get to do some corsetry work this semester, I'll master the male corset and make you one dirt cheap! Design one, so I have something to work off of *mwahahahaha*

GloomilyEuphoric In reply to taeliac [2005-10-10 22:00:31 +0000 UTC]

That would be awesome! I definitly will design one for you too, do you just need a flat or like blue-print-esque type design?

taeliac In reply to GloomilyEuphoric [2005-10-10 22:22:29 +0000 UTC]

I just need a picture to work off of- front, back and maybe a side. Notes on desired details ^___^ I can build the pattern off of that!

Huzzah! Now to see if they'll let me learn corsetry with all of the Seniors... hmm... *schemes to get into group*
