World Cultures Theme (Philippines) Preview #1

This massive theme is set for the third and fourth week of August, and I'm proud to be one of the many contributors for this. I'm doing 4 outfits for the Philippines theme, and I just thought I'd give you a preview of what's in store, bit by bit. :)
 

City Design Contest Entry

I'm in the finals of the City Design Contest! It's just amazing that my entry got included among such wonderful designs. Good luck everyone. :)

Here's my take on the Nine's facade. Plus a bonus. ;)

Titanic Swim Dress

This is based on what Rose wore as the ship sank in the movie. Again, I made separates, to enable mixing and matching of different colors.

I used some images from Costumer's Guide as reference pictures. Thanks a lot to you guys.

I hope everyone enjoys their Easter weekend. :)

Titanic Jump Dress

This is based on the dress from the 1997 movie Titanic, the one that Rose wore when she tried to jump off the ship, hence "jump dress." I wanted to uploaded this along with other items on April 15th, to commemorate the Titanic sinking's 100th anniversary and to celebrate the 3D movie release, but since I don't have any new doll items up this month, I've decided to put it up this early.

I separated the skirt, the bodice, and the vest, so we can mix and match the colors. The tops come in two versions too, to fit both small-breasted and big-breasted bimbo dolls. I'm really excited to finish the rest of the planned Titanic items, because I love the film and I really appreciate the workmanship of the costumes in it.

I want to thank these two websites, Costumer's Guide and Sunday Couture for their brilliant costume analyses and the reference pictures.

Empress Pack Part 3

I think it's only fitting that I wrap up this theme on the day of the Chinese Lantern Festival, when the Chinese New Year celebration officially ends. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the items I made, except for the shoes. I really need to practice drawing shoes. But I like the rest of it, and I hope you do too. :)

Empress Pack Part 2

I've always wanted to make some hanfu or at least some hanfu-inspired clothes. I was torn between making it just one whole dress or dividing it into top and skirt, but I think having separates makes it more versatile. It can be mixed and matched with other clothes. There's supposed to be a jacket to go with these, but I'm having a bit of trouble with that, that's why there's going to be a Part 3. I hope you enjoy this one. :)

Again, a lot of thanks to Qi Lin for this lovely texture.

Kiong Hee Huat Tsai! Empress Set Part 1

I know I already have my art thread at the MB forum, but I've decided to put up a website for easy organization. I'll be redrawing and moving my work here, and this is also where I'll add new items.

People are celebrating the Lunar New year today, also called the Chinese New Year, so let me start off the Year of the Dragon with a Chinese-inspired theme. Part 1 includes hair (with tuft and fringe), a cheongsam/qipao top and skirt, and a pair of shoes. I meant to make lotus shoes, but I wouldn't want to bind my Bimbo's feet just so she could wear them, so I made wood platforms. I hope you like it. Part 2 is coming very soon.

Special thanks to Qi Lin for this lovely texture.
