Pap- you should like... do something victorian style... <3 I love the outfit designs from that era...

PapillonCameo 03-26-2012 07:07 PM

That's what I want to do for Pris actually. XD

Codette 03-26-2012 07:07 PM

OH! Yes Victorian!! Or Marie Antionette-esque. I always forget what that style is called, but I love it!

Pandora Night 03-26-2012 07:08 PM

Victorian styled clothes on marionette dolls would look even more amazing. <3 hehe...

PapillonCameo 03-26-2012 07:08 PM

Guess I'll have to be doing some research.

KageShio 03-26-2012 07:10 PM

Hm, well my first advice would be to look at various designs online though either google or deviantART, dA is better for the steampunk stuff. Pay attention to how the clothing interacts with the shape of the body and the way each fabric type hangs/folds/clings.

Edit: Gah! Livethread, why did you not show me all the posts!?

Staria 03-26-2012 07:11 PM

victorian style is awesome and so is steam punk *nods* I wouldn't have minded giving one of my characters a steam punky dress >.>... the only one it'd suit is Estella though xD

Pandora Night 03-26-2012 07:12 PM

I need to improve my drawing skills so I can draw my OC's without them looking horrible.... >3>;;

Codette 03-26-2012 07:12 PM

*nods* ditto Pandora.

PapillonCameo 03-26-2012 07:14 PM

Kage- To DA I go I suppose! Hmm, I might look at some cosplays on there too. Google will be for historical reasearch I think ... Unless I can find some books at the library. XD

Ria- That'd be so cool!

Pandora Night 03-26-2012 07:16 PM

Codette: You too? X3 Wow.
My art is crappy. >3>;; I can do headshots pretty good, I guess... I'm just not the best with bodies... >w<

Staria 03-26-2012 07:17 PM

I'm okay enough to make what it's suppose to be clear, still need to improve particularly coloring and shading >.< I suuuuck at those, but I take toooo long so don't tend to draw my characters ^.^'' I need to figure out a way to get faster...

@cameo: Hehe agreed XD then they'd match <.< hehe... It's funny if they did in a way because I remembered what her original hair color was the other day >.>....white.

edit: and I'm sure you two are better then you think ^.^

Codette 03-26-2012 07:18 PM

Pandora, if you click the link in my siggy, you'll see some of my "best" works I'm not that thrilled by them most days, simply because I know I can do better, but people seem to like it, so I keep selling avi art ^.^

PapillonCameo 03-26-2012 07:19 PM

I could link you guys to my deviantart thingy ...

Pandora Night 03-26-2012 07:20 PM

Codette: I've already seen your art. owo
I'll give ya a link to a chibi I did of my oc Kandii once I get home... o3o Sadly, DA is blocked here at school. XD
The bell will ring in about 10 minutes... I'll be home in about 30 minutes or less... Depends on who's on and who's not.

Codette 03-26-2012 07:21 PM

mmkay. I'll be off in about an hour.

Staria 03-26-2012 07:22 PM

@codi: It's cute art *pats* that's why people like it.

@cameo: sounds good

@pandora: can't wait to see it.

Codette 03-26-2012 07:23 PM

*huggles* thanks Staria.

Staria 03-26-2012 07:25 PM

@codi: I just say the truth ^.^ It is cute.

PapillonCameo 03-26-2012 07:25 PM

PapillonCameo on deviantART

Here it is.

----------

Gah, sry I missed a post. Ria was she really supposed to have white hair?

Staria 03-26-2012 07:30 PM

@cameo: Your arts cute too ^.^ I particularly like your curves on your women. I like women being drawn with curves. Some people seem to draw only the extremes >.< flat as a board or cartoony/twice as big as there head...each or fat/ball shaped. I suppose i cant say too much about the second though. My women tend to be big busted >.>... i blame my own irl build for that. It just looks more in proportion to me, because my only model half the time for that kinda thing is me.

edit: Originally yeah xD. Then again originally she was also a half elf, half human. >.>... i just thought that was kinda funny xD. I almost always made my elves have light hair white/pale blue-white/pale almost white blond/etc. I just associate elves with having light hair. If I make her mother a moon elf i'll probably change her hair to blue or black though xD.

KageShio 03-26-2012 07:31 PM

I adore drawing Victorian clothing ^^ If tinypic hadn't of deleted them, I would have shown you a few I did last year for another RP. Hm... I could link my dA as well, but I have a lot of bloody/grotesque stuff mixed in with my fashion designs XD just a warning.

Pap-chan: Google is so-so for that, you just have to put in the right key words. There are plenty of sites for Victorian and Edwardian periods though, and a few decent ones for Chinese and Japanese, though they are mostly just images. Oh, before I forget again, I love the outfit your Avi has, it's one of my favorites so far.

Codette: I love the eye shapes you use ^^ they're simple but cute and expressive.

Staria 03-26-2012 07:33 PM

Yush Victorian is awesome xD.

PapillonCameo 03-26-2012 07:34 PM

Ria- Aww thanks! I try to make the proportions realistic, and now I'll be trying to see how well I can vary the shapes and such so I can get a few different body types. I'm still angry we didn't get any male models in drawing class. ><

Kage- I'll be searching for a few different books as well. Heh thanks! I might actually stick with this one for a few days. XD

Staria 03-26-2012 07:37 PM

Yeah I need to work on being able to try different body types too xD.... and work on men in particular >.> I suckith at drawing men
