I'm excited to see the improvements my next one might bring. I'm most likely putting costume making on hold to finish up the photo series for all of them(I have another 2 partially finished costumes, and 3 total photographs to shoot). I'm hoping to finish up this illustration soon so that I can create the backdrop for the photo for this costume. Here are some photos of the progress I've made thus far.<br />

I've been slowly working on a Boy Lolita illustration, and since I had the outfit drawn already I decided to get started on the costume today as well. I spent the majority of today piecing together the shirt from the drawing. It still needs buttons, and then I can get to work on the jacket and pants.<br />
<br />
I'm really happy with how it is turning out, and I'm excited to get to work on the other parts. I have all the templates drawn up and I will probably cut them tonight, then sew them over the weekend and early next week.<br />
<br />
Don't worry, I have a wig to match the hair in the illustration. (n_n)

I took a break from making the tattoos yesterday to start work on my next illustration. He is legless right now but looking good. I'm really loving how efficient it is to draw my characters directly into photoshop. Still a little rough with the pen, but i'm sure with time it will all work out. Also I designed my first Star Trek tattoo. It's a fractal infinity with the IDIC logo.

She liked the drawing but not on her body ha-ha, so here is my redesign. She wanted a more delicate drawing of the blossoms and a bit more brown and pink... I convinced her to up a little bit of the green to help make the pink pop, and this is what I've come up with and re-proposed. Today has been lots of fun... off to bed! Internship at The Wexler Gallery in the AM!
