Description For the contest a dress up contest for her character Ando Rei

She drew the base and then we had to put the clothes on her. I actually PAINTED for this. I didn't draw and then color, I painted. I don't do that often at all. But it was fun to just sit and play with colors for once.

For the costume design, since Ando is Japanese, I thought I'd give her a Visual Kei look. The outfit is inspired by Mana from Malice Mizer. And yes, I know Mana is a man and damn him for looking so pretty in those dresses.

Her face and hairstyle sorta has that Kumi Koda-ish look to it. Well don on painting this! I absolutely adore how you painted the hair and the trail of her dress!

Thanks! I kind of had fun painting. I've never really panted stuff on characters. I usually just draw it on and then color it in.

But she's still got that pretty, lithe figure that works so well.

And if you saw this guy, you wouldn't know he was a guy. He is freaking PRETTY.

Yeah, it's really awesome. They're like a seamstress's dream. My friend loves them but she's also a wicked awesome costume maker.

Myself, I'm an avid seamstress in my head lol. I have ideas and intentions, but when it comes to dragging myself to the sewing machine, it takes a bit more discipline. I did make Christmas pants this year. Woo, I'm so proactive XD

I've been sewing since I was 5 But not the RIGHT way, just the way that I thought would make clothes XD

So I'm still not very good at it but I can make things look like they're okay

I'm about the same. I'm the world's slowest seamstress and I kind of just stumble through my projects hoping they turn out okay. LOL
