picturetime!

these mostly go with yesterday's post. pictures of what i kept of my art, what i painted when i was with Moose about 2 months ago, and the fabric i found while cleaning. every one of these was bought for a doll-dressing project that never even got started. *sigh*


Senior year: the snake piece i don't love, but is too good to throw out. assignment? photo realism in black and white (surprisingly not marked down for the snake being green)

Senior year: Echo and Narcissus (and Nemesis) illustrated over the words of the story from my mythology book. assignment was to tell a story in an unconventional method.

Junior year: i think the assignment was reflection?

another from Senior year: we had to illustrate Time and use a three-dimensional element, so the watercolor part is suspended with puffy tape above the colored pencil part. song lyrics in the background because i couldn't think of anything better. made it to the city's art show that year.

painting day with Moose, actual scale is about 3x5. Lost At Sea.

sponge painted star cutouts, about 9x12. Stars In Their Multitude, Scarce To Be Counted, Painting the Chaos. (lyrics from les Miserables)

experimenting with a palette knife. the camera refused to focus on it properly, also about 9x12. Unsettled.

the fabrics bought in the last year, left to right the (abandoned) doll projects are: art deco wedding gown in ivory and creme, Wonder Woman Amazonia cosplay for Cori, silver & black tuxedo gown, pinstriped (floral) rose-shaped dress, butterfly-skirted gown with taupe-ish bodice, and Asian-inspired summer dresses. i didn't realize i'd bought the same design in two color patterns until i found the silver&lilac version in the closet last week.

also one of the new Soom limited that both Kyu and i are absolutely CRAZY in love with. for him she's a gorgeous bat-girl, for me, she's close enough to my long-coveted Vesuvia that i think i could pretend- and maybe buy the scorpion tail part down the road, since it's the only part i'd really need still. basically i'm gonna do everything i can to earn enough money to order her before the end of her listed time. i dunno yet what that time frame is, but based on the options we picked for the mock order i did Migma (+spare body, +1wig, +outfit) in lavender skin will be about 1540 for us. X.x slightly less, but it's better to aim higher when saving. Kyu has said as much as he desperately wants her, if we don't have the whole amount in time, we won't order. his full paychecks go to bill-and-rent paying, so he's hoping for an increase in customers at the tattoo shop to fund this. his tattoo income is all that pays for us having any fun at all. i'm gonna look and see what else i can possibly sell in the next few weeks to try and pull this off. xD she's so awesome i ALMOST regret going for the Adamelli twin girls, because if i hadn't the stuff i sold already would bring in half of what we need. i did order them though, and i'm still looking forward to their arrival. if we pull what we need together he'll be getting the bat version pretty much exactly as she's shown, with the wig, outfit, and open-mouthed head, and i'll have the lavender-but-otherwise-human body with the close-mouthed head. the Cuprit things i kept will dress mine until i sew more for them. i'm really hoping we manage to pull this off. *hopeful happy dance*
