18th Century Gowns: Purple

Ever wanted to do a 1700s gown? Uhm, I like looking at pictures (though honestly, panniers are not my style), but for this contest, I had to dress my character in one... so I went the whole hog, refusing to use the Lucrezia dress to my disadvantage. But it's done - after two days and some three hours later! Well, with breaks and whatnot in between, but still.

So, enjoy my 18th century gown, and I apologize for the lack of panniers - I don't dare put my bimbo through having to lug around whalebone hoop-things in a ballroom!

Down in the Rice Paddies

At least, that was what I was trying to have her look like anyway. The pose is by Sapharii for her "Edit My Pose" contest - and I had a lot of fun, I can tell you! It's vaguely Chinese-ish, but since I couldn't find any decent pictures of female rice workers, I just went with my mind and - tadah! Also, I think they work barefeet in there. I think.

Make The Dress - Darn Folds...

So, after I decided microeconomics was going to fry my brain in the long run, I've decided - well, maybe I should take a break. So one thing led to another, and I find myself editing - guess what? Yep, yet another gown. I should really branch out and start doing something new... and maybe use a few more poses, I'm beginning to think I'm over-using Trillyke's pose by now XD

September Mod Contest: Victorian Purples!

Just as promised, here's my entry for the September Mod Contest! It's actually subject to change, after Cakeycake kindly pointed out some bits and pieces - which I agree with, actually! :) But I've a test and some other things to study for... so that'll have to wait, and I hope I'll make it!

Originally wanted to make it more steampunky, but the theme is Victorian and I've already omitted the corset... so, uhhh, not sure how well that'll go down. But a girl can hope, no? Pose by the ridiculously awesome Ibelievenangel, just found her poses and I love how clean they are!

Play Me A Song - Ga-In from "Abracadabra"

So, after what has to be another month long hiatus, I'm back with another - well, "regular" edit, if you will! This time, it's Ga-In from Brown Eyed Girls. If you look at their videos, you'd recognize the outfit from "Abracadabra". Oh, and did I mention I still can't do that pelvic-sway-move that they begin the video in? It looks good, but me... no. Just no.

Also, I've gotten comments that I've made the outfit more modest. Can you spot where? :D

I may or may not be posting my September Mod Contest entry here - well, once it's been critiqued anyway. I keep thinking the face looks a little bizzare... and the outfit not quite Victorian, but hey, it was fun doing it!

Fiery Redheads... and Summer in the City

As you may notice, I've been fairly quiet - and I will be, seeing that my public exams are once again pressing upon me. But that won't stop me from one more story-writing contest before I go! And here she is - Sissel Foxcraft, based off another character I had written up. The dress isn't really anything special - but as you can see, it's my first attempt editing hair and it... uh, turned out kinda floppy. I'll try working on it, but remembering that I just finished this entry three minutes before casting ended... meh!

(Also, MiaChanelle is one hell of a motivator... -coughs-)

August Mod Contest Entry - Yuki-Onna

I actually wanted to do this for the June contest, but my exams interfered... so now I have a chance to enter this edit in this month's contest. Surprisingly, my original concept for this month's theme was a living puppet, but I figured I didn't have the sufficient skill to do it... so here you go, my yuki-onna with her whiteness and slightly blood-stained kimono.

Oh, and if you see the hint of gray, your eyes aren't fooling you - I did shade one side of her face gray. Might've been a tad bit too light though... hmph!

To be entirely honest though, this month's entries are, as always, as stunning as ever, and I already have one or two favourites! I wonder how the results will end up...

Another Gown - Where Blood is Thicker than Water

Yes, in case you've noticed, I do love editing long ball gowns with the regular bimbo pose. There's something about them that is so... I don't know. I'll never be able to wear - or afford - one of those in real life, so I guess I'm just living vicariously!

This was done for the final round of the Cross Academy multi-round contest. The original idea was to have the dress base white - but after a little prompting, here is the end result! Thanks to my lovely and awesome co-conspirator for world domination sisu, Artemis226 for pointing it out to me. Sianne looks lovely in red, doesn't she?

I apologize if you're coming in from the Cross Academy thread - but I just had to put this there. Though I really have to stop doing split dresses/sash down the front style things. Will go back to editing with poses and whatnot after this - single rounds, after all, take up a lot less time comparatively!

A Quick Update

You've probably noticed that I haven't been updating as much - which I apologize for. Usually, when I start a multi-round contest, I tend to neglect the single round areas... and thus, I don't have as much time to edit. But if you do want to check out what I've been doing lately, you can go to the Cross Academy contest that's running at the moment, I've been doing most of my edits there :D

I'll be heading off to Europe for this year's holidays too, so I'll be back in August, ready to edit and all that!

Knit Dresses, Epaulets... and Chains

This one I made for one of those contests which I had been itching to get my hands into... if I could, I'd send brownies to Addidut and give her a lifetime supply of ice cream. But I can't, so I figured I'd pour my heart into making my edits for the contest instead. Or at least, as well as I can handle, so that at least outfit-wise I don't disappoint... much.

Yes, I haven't had time to do a more "large-scale" edit, so now I'm just doing the basic bimbo pose. I found out that I love doing chains - if they're done properly. I'd highlight the ones on the epaulettes (aren't they pretty -is proud of herself-), but it'd be too flashy and there isn't really much room for a 1px chain to "highlight"... hm. Anyhow, I present to you my epaulette'd knit dress!
