Description
Is it just me, or do I have some obsession with dolls...?Eh, anyways, this can be taken pretty much at face value. XD It's Claudia from Interview with the Vampire, partially because I dug this [link] out of the stack of old crappy pictures and felt the need to do apparently WAY more with it. Honestly, I just really wanted to draw something pretty. I referenced those old fashion illustrations for all of the dresses, and I think I might be in love with Victorian clothes. :3
The color is gouache, which I've never used before. I actually kinda like it. This is the first time I've ever finished painting in a full lineart like this. Still prefer colored pencils, though.
Lineart can be viewed here: [link]

Thank you! The movie is good, but this is based on the book anyways, so it doesn't matter. XD

I've never read the book either.

(They are totally fun to wear. I doubt I'll ever be that good at sewing though, I'm mostly just good at altering already existing things. I hope you can though!

(So far, I can sew pillows...and that's it. -_- I need more and cheaper fabric, so I can experiment and learn...)

(That's the thing that sucks about learning to sew- any kind of decent fabric is frequently kinda expensive...)

(Yeah it really does....and pillows take a lot less then clothes, which might be why I make more of them...)

I need to find some of the old pillows I sewed....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think the only pillow I ever sewed was the one I had to make in Home Ec in 8th grade...it was a big fat spider shaped pillow with pipe cleaner legs (that promptly fell off XD).

I've sewed several...learning how to make pillows was the only thing I enjoyed in Home Ec...

I always liked cooking better in Home Ec. XD I took the kind of basic fashion class here back when I thought my major was going to be costume design, which was fun, but unfortunately I didn't retain as much of it as I'd have liked, considering I had to ask for help every five seconds because I was never that good with patterns. (I did make stuff like a blouse and a jacket though!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never did...mainly because we always cooked dumb stuff. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, dumb stuff? Like what? XD I just wish I'd retained more of what I did learn in that class... Ooh fun!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most of it was stuff like pasta...I didn't really need to be taught how to boil water. -_- Lol! It is going to be fun.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O_o Okay that is dumb. XD I did see your journal (apparently forgot to comment though). That sounds fun!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep....Lol, I'm hoping it goes well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, well, you've got plenty of time til Halloween.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, yeah...but then I think of everything I have to do....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True....god, I don't even know what I'm going to do for Halloween this year. XD Didn't do anything last year because I was in The Rocky Horror Show and we had two shows that night. Unfortunately if one was to trick-or-treat in my neighborhood, one would probably get raped... D:

Well, I'm sure you'll find something to do...if I lived near you, I'd volunteer to come...and bring my dad. Or my dad's friends.

Hopefully one of the theatre people with big apartments will have a party or something.

Hopefully, that'd be awesome.

How do you carry it around if it's so sharp? D: I studied Karate for something like 8 years (but not Martial Arts America type Karate, real Karate XD). I was really sad when I had to quit. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just don't hold the sharp part? I put mine in either my backpack or purse, depending on where I'm going....That's cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess carrying it in your pocket is out of the question then. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you had deep pockets, sure you could. I can put it in my hoodie, or some of the deeper pockets on gym shorts...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But wouldn't the corners of it poke you? D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, not really...let me rephrase that, they're really sharp, but you have to put pressure on it for it to have any affect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhhh okay. XD I think I can picture what you mean now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll try and take a picture at some point....

If I suddenly disappear, it's because I'm stressed out of my mind....

Aww.

It is....it's the same stuff I've dealt with forever. I'm sick of it...but there's nothing else to do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Still, that doesn't make it any better.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No it doesn't...and I am well aware the one day, I am either going to have to cut all but the most minimal ties with most of them, or go insane....well, insaner then I already am.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That...really sucks.
For the moment I'm going to bed, because I have to get up disgustingly early to go meet with my music director (and presumably sing, which never goes well before about noon. XD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it does...but it's life. 
Have a good nights sleep then!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You too, whenever you get around to it! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(I'm not so sure...
Lol, I went to bed about 3....and got up at 7, then went back to sleep at some point later that morning...until 11:30.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Psh.
I hope you went back to sleep! D: Haha, it went well enough, going back Tuesday to work stuff for Spring Awakening auditionsss. (nervous panic)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(
Lol, I did...but I really don't sleep much. Don't panic, I'm sure you'll do great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I honestly wouldn't sleep much, I can go on like 2 hours a night without batting an eyelash most of the time, but doing that kills your voice so I can't. Sometimes going to sleep is kind of a chore- I really don't want to, but I have to for that reason. XD Ehhhh I probably will, the question (unfortunately, a valid one) is whether it'll be enough or not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, if it's going to kill your voice, you probably should...sleep is always a chore for me, there's some many other things I could be doing....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same heeeeere! Sometimes sleep feels good, but mostly I would much rather be doing something else. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It only feels good to me when I'm exhausted, or have happy dreams...the rest of the time, I have weird as hell dreams, that torment me...
