Left: My half of an art part of an art-and-items trade for angryprncess <3 Right: One of two badges for Punkrock-shefox, fancy badge!
Badge for Antique of Yum*Pop, for part of a commission payment. This badge is done, except for puffy stickers. I want to scan it when the stickers are on it, but those will only be added after I laminate it since to do so before hand would be certain death for the badge. It's really cute...y'all will see it soon. :)
It's not scanned yet because I need to wait until I have enough to laminate so I'm not wasting the sheet with only two things on it and a ton of empty space.
Darkmoon, supplementary for her ref to show her body hair (armpits, crotch, inner thighs, navel) which is very thick and very dark. Also a vent piece about societal pressures to shave that due to my texture issues (mostly mild except when concerning this) are just impossible for me to give into. The texture of my own shaved skin is repulsive and appalling to me and shaving is emotionally draining and takes forever due to exactly how thick the hair is. Most of the time it doesn't deter me from wearing shorts without tights or leggings and mostly others don't critique me anymore, but I've been told I couldn't go on school trips, been teased, singled out etc. by both teachers and peers in school so it's hard for me to shake off paranoia about it. Also I'm the only one of my friends who doesn't shave and it's galling for me to have to listen to others talk about shaving during the summer. So, yeah, there's my rant. Felt good to draw Darkmoon again.
I temporarily had a desk position at work that was really tedious and repetitive so I did some sketching...this, the badges above, and the work below...the whole post....basically was done at a desk during my lunch breaks and other times when I needed to get away from the task without actually doing anything too engrossing.
So you may remember my Feature Friday about theeverydaygoth, talking about her inspiring me to do a wardrobe cleansing. I also got back into wearing gothy stuff-I had given up since I felt it didn't look good on me--but then I realized I was being ridiculous and had the right to feel pretty, so I went through my wardrobe and cleaned out a lot of things and resolved to wear my other clothes again. When I went to see Rasputina in April I got all dressed up for the first time in ages and felt really good and looked really good--that reassured me that I look pretty good in elegant black stuff too.
Supplemental to Dark's ref, these are all outfits I own.
First sketch was the bottom left, by far my favorite. Put this together for AC. Hand-dyed pettipants! Little cute goaty horns are from DMB.
The top left one shows a shirt that my mom and I are pretty sure she made years ago, gave to a thrift store, and I bought it. No joke. XD Hair clips from the awesome Miss Monster.
Top right shows me in the only short-sleeve blouse I still own, haha. Put that together for work in the office since I realized I didn't have to wear jeans and tees every day and looked grungy compared to others around me. :I
Bottom right one was the last and I ran out of room and it's my least favorite. But the caplet is cute. The bustle skirt is poorly made and the material is cheap and I'm trying to replace it with something better-made.
So a few notes: I layer a lot, wear mostly black, grey, and white, also ivory, also burgundy/wine sometimes, and some purple. My use of blue is usually muted and rather limited but I have a few blue tops. I layer a lot, hence the camis and transparent tops.
The crow skull necklace is from Skullery, it's another optional necklace for Darkmoon, but I also have an ankh and a circular chain mail necklace, so in addition to the two on her reference sheet, these are also all daily optionals. I/she typically wear(s) two at once but one can be worn too.
I'll be making other cute goth sketches in the future as I update my wardrobe and will hopefully be doing fairy kei, lolita, and punk ones.
Warning: Nudity under the cut
This is ALSO supplemental to a ref, but Felix's ref only. He can have Baphomet features--horns, bat wings, halo, visible chakras, etc. The wings and horns are transparent/ghostly. The sigil of Baphomet and inverted crosses aren't part of the form exclusively, rather, some of his many optional tattoos. Also wax fetish.
Also super inspired by tons of Black Tape For A Blue Girl.
