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)

Walrus Orgasms & New Figure Work

<div>
I got walrus out of the kiln. He still needs eyeballs and such but I love the rough texture and color of his skin that came about by spraying layers of black and clear. It has the perfect damp sheen. I'm going to start building the base soon. I also finished up the hands and feet of the cupcake. I will post that image after they get glazed.<br />
On another note, I have begun work on a new figurative piece. Trying to sharpen up my sculpting skills haha. Made both hands and one foot. Im using bmix for its off white color, perfect for more of a skin-like tone. Im thinking I will build a wire armature body and sew an outfit for it. Similar to work I did ages ago in highschool. <br />
Here is the progress I made today. Sorry if images are the wrong direction. I will rotate them when I get to a computer.<br />

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.

While sewing the green stretch velvet leggings I decided it just didn't quite feel right. I liked the material, but as things shaped up for the props I wasnt as convinced by them. I went looking for another fabric in my scrap bins, found rolls of yarn with glitter in them, and ADD took over. Next thing you know I'm <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crocheting-Dummies-Karen-Manthey/dp/0470536454?ie=UTF8&tag=dwknox88&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">crocheting</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dwknox88&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0470536454" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> and watching <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Junjo-Romantica-2-DVD-Collection/dp/B004F88HZI?ie=UTF8&tag=dwknox88&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Junjou Romantica</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dwknox88&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B004F88HZI" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" />.

Set & Costume Work: Dooman & Candy Minhwa

<br />
The neck and vest for the dooman using a variety of patterned and bright colored fabrics. The neck peice is lightly stuffed to give it some extra shape. The test is made from paper cutouts to give a sense of the shapes and sizes for the wood I need get.<br />
<br />
The Candy Minhwa's set will be a 6 foot circle in 7 parts, with a two foot hole in the middle. Creating a 2ft round platform. It will have a tree in the hill and tree in the middle, and surrounded by blue silk roses at the base, to act as the water. Im essentially creating an island. The set itself will act as an installation, titled, "The Road to Rediculous". As rediculousness is circular and tends to lead to itself. It will be some color near magnolia pink, with green rhinestone polkadots. I'm hoping to be more ambitious with the next two sets since the Trip to Your Hear(Birth of a Star) set was a bit more simple. After watching Pink Narcissus by John Bidgood and learning he also built and staged it all in his NYC apartment, I can't help but try to do more :)<br />
