Design for Nine's 3 [Cont'd] - Recolours

A continuation of the Design for Nine's contest - the recolours that have been made:

Shoes
Dress and gloves

I haven't included the earrings recolours, simply because they are the same with a different coloured interior.

For those closest to me, you should know my feelings about this. Maybe I'll be able to post more coherently after a while, but right now, I just... can't, so forgive me if I come off as uncaring, cold and curt regarding what's going on, as I'm trying not to explode unnecessarily at people.

Design for Nine's 3 Entry

Aaand I'm back! Editing still runs around in my blood like manic - it's a hard habit to kick, but one I thoroughly indulge in.

Anyhow - this year has another Design for Nine's, so I submitted two dresses: one from Summer in the City, and the other brand new original one taken from more romantic and classic inspirations. With a pair of gloves to go with it! But honestly, some entries are to die for - not to mention, one pool has two of my favourite designs in it. Decisions, decisions...

And the Summer in the City outfit... trust me, it looked better when I had jewelry and stuff on it. But as a dress alone, it's a tad bit plain.

BimboBin Christmas Pinup

This is generally what happens when an amateur attempts to take on the experts. Uhm, as you can see, it didn't turn out so well... But I had fun, especially the fur! I've been agonizing over it for ages, but I finally found a way where I could replicate it without having to outline the whole thing and bash my head at my computer at how neat it was turning out...

And yes, as you'll notice by now, I love using red too much. Red, black, purple and blue. Occasionally green. I really need to expand my colour range, no?

How Not to Make a Christmas Bauble

Okay, so if you've been noticing, I've entered the BimboBin Christmas Ornament Contest, and the theme I got was "Country". One hell of a toughie... and my editing skills aren't so mad that I can make some insanely awesome bauble. So I decided, why not keep it simple? And made a cupcake... that now looks like a Frankenstein'd patchwork thingymagij. If I can modify it, I promise I will, but I like to think the concept is cute... at least.... -coughs-

Coy in Red

Haven't done one of these in ages, thanks to my addiction to story-writing contests, but now that my tests are around the corner, I'm hoping I can finally get off them for a while until my public exams are over! This is for a contest that Ibelievenangel is hosting - I once used her pose for the September Mod Contest, but this is a fresh one :) Checking back, it's actually pretty similar to another one there (ahck), but there's no time to remake a new one, so here goes nothing...

Design for Nines 2!

So, if you've been keeping track of the announcements, you'll realize that - yes, I'm now in the Top 10 and getting my sorry butt kicked badly with my Arabian-esque dress. If anyone is interested, I actually submitted a second design for the contest, but I reckon that was probably plainer compared to my... belly dancer one. It has a pretty interesting story to it though, but it's not one I'll post here. So, here you go, the two entries I sent in...

And the Arabian dress... if you look at the comments for the first round of voting, you'll notice both Alvena and KawaiiPrincezz pointed out (quite rightly) that it should've been darker and more vibrant. And I did have it in that colour, originally, but I thought "Meh, everyone's going to do a darker colour anyway, so I'll send in a lighter colour..."

I think that registered my doom! >__< But for those who want to see what the darker coloured one looked like originally, you can see so here. Which one looks better, I'll leave it up to you to decide!

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!
