Thalia is currently wearing a DollHeart neck corset, Ringdoll Frankenstein’s robe, black handmade leggings and skull loafers. That’s not her final outfit, but I’m still working on what indeed she will end up wearing.<\/p>\n
I have multiple and often contradictory ideas at work here. My default impulse is to take a particular idea and run with it to the extreme, which would mean more black! As many shades and textures as possible! More corsetry! More boning! Paint it black!<\/a> Paint it black, you devil!<\/p>\n On the other hand, the more clothes Thalia wears, the more difficult she is to pose. This argues for an ensemble that’s either parsimonious or loose\/stretchy. <\/p>\n I need something skimpy and stretchy, which means that the Ringdoll robe, being voluminous, won’t suffice. I can also abandon my cherished hopes of jamming her into Jareth’s platform stilettos. And no underwear.<\/p>\n Maybe some hot pants and a tank top? I actually used to have such an outfit that came with my Angelsdoll Hyang, but I sold it [with my Angelsdoll Hyang], so phooey.<\/p>\n EDIT: I see that I can procure a blank stretchy tank top for relatively cheap, so maybe a black tank with a rib cage on it would be good instead of pasties. [I’ve been on a skeleton kick for a while…]<\/p>\n While I’m thinking of it, I should also add that I’d like to make her eyes like Lucian’s: black irises with white pupils. He has such small eyes that it was always difficult, when photoing him, to get the full effect of the unusual coloration, so I hope to carve open Thalia’s eyelids so that her eyes are more visible.<\/p>\n And the ball gag — don’t forget the ball gag! I’m kinda surprised that no one else has come up with that idea before me [or, if they have, they haven’t exhibited it publicly]. I have some squeezy stress balls to cut up for the gag, but I’m not sure what to use for straps. I refuse to make an elaborate harness, settling instead for a single strap — maybe four-way stretch Spandex? Lord knows I have enough of that left over from Jareth’s super expensive commissions.<\/p>\n I’m considering alternatives to a bunch of plastic snakes glued to her scalp for hair. I think a black mohair wig [like the one featured<\/a> on Spirit Doll Stayne at the most recent VTDL meetup] with occasional snakes inserted might be more effective, as it would look like an average wig until closer inspection. Then surprise! Snakes!!<\/p>\n This entry was originally posted at http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1710159.html<\/a>.
