Week 9 Keeps a Secret

Week 9 was rough. My mind wouldn't settle down and let me start anything until either Friday or Saturday, and by then I was feeling creatively sluggish at best. I reached a peak in wanting to design a crazy detailed outfit with fun patterns and emblems and a brand new character specifically for said outfit and others like it.

But that didn't work.

Instead I decided to be satisfied with simply designing the character and giving her a cuteish but simple outfit to introduce her.

She has no name yet, but I like her. She's a rare plus-size model who mostly works for a specific company that designs attractive clothes for larger women. She also wears wigs most of the time, I haven't decided what color her hair actually is.

Week 26: Fashionable

Well... this looks odd, doesn't it? Another random fact about me is that I LOVE costume design and, to some degree, clothing design. I decided that I would dedicate this week to making a sort of mock-up outfit design portfolio.

The top is the base I use, which I obtained by tracing a pose from a Barbie coloring book that I've had since I was twelve, and then altered by actually adding a little weight to it. As for the others being just cropped images... I'm likely being paranoid (I do this a lot), but I've heard the clothing design world is highly competitive, and in the off chance that I'm ever able to market these (serious doubts here), I don't want them to have been fully seen before... if that makes sense?

Don't worry, though. I'll make sure to post at least one fully colored design in its entirety for you guys.

Week 1 - Progress 3; Home Stretch

There's a pretty good chance that I'll finish this today, but all the same I wanted to show how much I've done since finishing the tool cabinet yesterday. I think it can be attributed to the fact that I like drawing figures a lot more than I do backgrounds.

Yes, Bit is purple. Yes, her dreadlocks are BRIGHT red. She's half alien, you know. Something I've noticed however is that her um... chest area... is lop-sided and too large even for her. Will be fixing that.

By the way, my water pipes froze last night. Whoops.

Music: Evanescence; "Fallen" Album*

*Note: Almost none of Evanescence's songs suit Bit's personality. It is, however, something that might be playing on the radio at her work. Also, since her setting is futuristic, Evanescence is considered "Oldies".
