Artist's Comments

Whoo. Sorry for the huge file, but I wanted to get most of the shots in there.

:star: Okay here I should point out I now know that it is called "Wa-Lolita" for the style, but I don't want to go back and change everything
It just goes to show that we all learn as we go, and it's not worth going back and hiding one's mistakes. When I started doing these, there was little to no information on it available, so I just ran with whatever I could find :D


Here is my latest Wai-Loli design, a lilac wai-loli dress. It was so much fun to make, and again I got to go a little insane with the design and fabric and colors and all that good stuff.

It's made up of a lot of different parts:
- Kimono top with 3' box sleeves and ruffles along the neck
- Skirt is rather short, with white ruffles along the bottom
- Petticoat
- Sash the white one
- Pretied obi bow out of white, done in the exact same way as this tutorial [link]
- Apron the black piece, open in the back and laces on with white elastic lacing
- Obi-jime the leather strip with the grommits, with ribbon woven through it, to tie over the apron or the sash
- Bonnet not pictured in this conglomeration, sorry! But it's very ruffly...

Hmm... I don't know what I have to say about this, though - this is more or less an attempt to get some of my ideas that are on paper into final form, while still working on cosplay costumes. I just wanted to try something new, and to be quite honest, I'm also out to see if these types of things can sell ^^;

Sorry, not longer for sale! I'll be making more in the future, though, because they're fun to get to do different things with.

Edit: That awesome model at the bottom is ~MedeaHiasobi, as per the usual, she's my dress-up goon :love: Thank you!!

SOMEBODY needs to either commission you, or do some sort of partial art trade with you for a wai-loli costume for anime boston...

>_>


<_<

seriously. I'm not even joking. I should look cool sitting at my first artist alley table.

Again, I envy you for your seamstress...ness..>.>;;

Gorgeous work, as always. It kinda reminds me of Chobits mixed in with...Avatar: the Last Airbender. O_o;; Don't ask why.

Maybe I'll commission you one day when I have money :)
:iconmedeahiasobi:
^__^ You're right, it looks better on someone *cough cough* I wanna see the bonnet portion!
:icondietcokefiend:
I would be all over that if the skirt was a little longer and either a) it wasn't sm/med or b) I wasn't pudgey ;)
:icontaeliac:
The bonnet can be viewed here [link] But I still wanna put it on and get pictures, just not as sickly as I look right now.

Oh crap. I forgot to put your name in there :faint: <goes to edit>

You're officially my model for these things :D

:lmao: Me too - hehe, that skirt was dangerously short, even for ~MedeaHiasobi...

I think the next next one I make (the next one is already cut out XP) will have a long skirt, and not be so darn small! :giggle:

Kazuo: Those... those're wiretaps! Uwaah! Those perves listened to me busting a solo on my meat flute last night!
Nobuto: F***, man. In my case it was a duet.
Toki: Uh, you guys are missing the point...
