2 school projects of darkness~
I should be making those 'normal' dresses now but as they are boring and plain, I decided to upload photos of something more interesting I have made. The photos were taken a long time ago, before my trip to London, but I'm a procrastinator ne ^^;

Ok~! The first project I called Elegant Gothic Seaweed, which is not a serious name of course.

Design: me.
Realization: me.
Photoshoot concept: me.
Hair/make: me.
Localization: Lazienki Park in Warsaw.
Model: me.
Photographer: my human self-timer sister of d00m.
Graphic editing: me.

Oooh, how dark~~


The outfit consists of:
- Green, tight-fitting blouse with stand collar and a zipper in the back, painted with paints for silk (dark blue and black), cut, torn and burned in various ways.
- Sleeveless black vest laced in front. The green crown print is actually the crown from my own logo but modified so that it would look like a crown from sea weed ._. The vest has two tiny (and invisible) zippers on the line of shoulders (a truly ingenious idea - I rule).
- Two-part pantsu~ With two smaller sea weed crowns.
- Striped stockings (bought, modified).
- Black wig (bought, modified).

We had to make huge posters from our pictures which were to hang in the classrooms and the concept for those posters was to make them look like magazine covers, only with one's name as the title. And, as people generally suck, it turned out that I was the only one who did that. I also think I'm the only person in the group who can use Photoshop.... ... .. .
But nevermind! I just wrote that to explain why I put my nickname on it.

The poster in question~~~ People say it's scary ._.;


What's scary about that? XD It's just dark~~
I used a lot of Photoshop on this though. Look how the photo looked originally:


That's a ribbon from the vest lacing. It was so annoying but I didn't want to cut it >_> Haha and I moved the lion head~ It was a fountain, actually. But each time I saw that fountain, it was always out of order and its 'bowl' (below the lion) was empty. My plan was to get into the bowl and to make it all look like I was coming out of it, Sadako-like. Like a fountain demon \^o^/
But alas, it was full of dirty rain water this time so I just jumped on it like that ._.


Another idea for a poster, but in the end I only printed the first one (A0 format so it's huge @_@). And hey, I didn't heighten the contrast to make my face look noseless/visual kei. The sun just decided to shine on me then *_* (good, because it was still winter then and I was freezing)
Also, I had white foundation on ^^


Oh yayy finally a photo in which my legs are not supershort (my sister has a special talent to make them look so). I still think they look longer irl hahah XDD


The back~ of the outfit~ Eh, let's move on.


Ooh, I found a tree *-* I though the tree would look good as it was dark green.


I don't look like it here (or do I?) but I was actually quite stressed because trees/bushes = spiders.
And I sure as hell didn't want to get them on me. Even though it was winter ._.
So yeah, please appreciate my bravery here~


Another out of order fountain! With lionssss *moves round like Sadako-chan*


*insert witty comment here*



Oh yeah, here's what the design looks like:

It sucks because it's very old and I don't draw like that anymore. Also, It's a bad photo of it. Yes, photo, because I still can't be bothered to scan all my designs ^^;

Speaking of designs, I posted this some time ago:


And here's how its realization looks like ^^</center>

This project was nameless but mr puro photographer-san called me Dark Clown Lady (wtf) and I decided to leave the name >_>

Design: me.
Realization: me.
Photoshoot concept: me.
Model: me.
Hair/make: me.
Props: me.
Localization: uh, a studio.
Photographer: Puro photographer-san.
Graphic editing: me.



The outfit consists of:
- Short blouse, laced at the back, with long, two-layered sleeves, trimmed with two kinds of lace ribbon.
- White, lace-trimmed underskirt.
- Fancy black overskirt.
- Laced mini top hat.
- Corset.
- Gloves.
- Cameo.
- Wig (bought, veeery modified).
- Modesty t-shirt (bought, unmodified! XD).

Props are made from various cables and plastic pipes I bought in an electrical isle of Leroy Merlin. And some other stuff. Everything connected with nails, glue and this silicone clay thingy. And it's all very symmetrical and well-weighed so each thing can stand and keep balance on its own \m/
But cables!! Are such a wonderful idea - when I spray painted everything black, it looked like real ironwork! The best part is, it weighs almost nothing but looks sooo heavy. The pipes are 2,5 meters long and it was really uncomfortable to transport those silly props across the city.

Kyaa this was my first session in a studio~~ It was fun.


Oh ho hoo~ I like this picture. A lot. Even though I look fat in it (especially when you compare it with the design. Nooo *jumps off cliff*) XDD The corset doesn't give much reduction ne...

About the photo: I didn't change the colors! It was all supposed to look as black/white as possible and I think I succeeded in it. White foundation and all. Speaking of, here's a zoom on my face to show what little is visible of my makeup (the wig covered some).


My eyebrows aren't shaped like this normally but because their natural color is colorless blond, the difference wasn't visible when I covered them with white foundation. I also covered most of my neck with it and later got stains on the collar T_T

I don't have any more pictures of the outfit, sadly. The back of the overskirt looks similar to the front, and, as I mentioned, the blouse is laced in the back. The overskirt can be worn separately, without the white one, and I think I will wear it like that in the summer because the cuts are so strategically placed that they don't show anything, uh, indecent XDD

Also, I spent a lot of time photoshopping this thing ._. Mostly because of the background. Only the top of the background didn't require changes. In the middle of the picture this nice, plain grey background ended and the wooden floor was visible. Of course it was intended but I decided I didn't like that.

Yayy das Ende :D I have yet to take good photos of the two remaining outfits, but I think I'll leave one on a mannequin...

And now I'm back to work.

One last thing: I'm in MUCC's Flight PV! For a brief second, but still ♥
