C: So, who else is interested?

By Li-Bai. 21/04/10, 12:39 pm

Oh rofl. We have a thread now? ilu Pyro 8D

I was actually doodling costume breakdowns about a week ago. ...Albeit in my head, but I've saved future-me a lot of think-too-hard-too-quickly-brain-hemorrhaging. (It seems that sitting staring blankly at the TV with my mouth half-open mid-game (staring at the outfit) is my deep-thinking pose. I should probably work on that.)

So do you want me to actually scribble these down for y'all or what?

By Pyro. 21/04/10, 01:36 pm

@Madja- THAT WOULD BE HANDY. Do it, do it! 8D

Is it strictly #1? no seraph? no roland?
*God i wish i could do seraph*

By Pyro. 21/04/10, 03:47 pm

WE'D LOVE DDS2 CHARACTERS TOO. D8

-wants a Roland badly-

You should do Seraph. -winkwinknudgenudge-

@juxta- Woop-woop~
We have 4/6 Embryon nooow~ 8D

By Li-Bai. 22/04/10, 05:01 am

@Pyro Sha-weeeeeet ~~/backs off building into truck full of marshmallows~~ I'll get to that ASAP. Like, either tomorrow or the weekend?

Ohohoh. They flock like lambs to the slaughter. Gufufufufu. <3

ETA: Looking closer at these pictures (at the things I couldn't see properly onscreen), some of these costume elements are kind of awkward. Not hard to work, just kind of awkward. Oh well. Costume breakdowns on the way, Pyro-kaicho. -salute-

(This post has not been posted on the request of Li-Bai so that she can avoid double posting.)

The copy of this game I was after turned out to be broken so the guy didn't sell it to me in the end. /sulk

Anyone have the first one I can borrow? ;A;

By Li-Bai. 29/04/10, 10:24 am

(Of course not 8DDDb)

I'm still playing ahahahaaaaa.

Maybe I sketch too lightly or my scanner just hates me as usual or something, but oh well... Here at the sketches. Some of the hatching I did to point out the inside back of a piece of clothing or lines on the knit fabrics were nomnom'd by the scanner. But I guess this'll do...?

Spoiler:

Note, this isn't me redrawing the costumes, just breaking them into their individual components. For detail and shiz, please see Creative Uncut's page for this. Argilla, Gale and Serph are good for references. I'm positive all the pants-wearing characters are actually wearing those three-quarter pants Gale has, just with long boots. Because I don't think they could fit much else under those leg-hugging boots. Speaking of Gale, I neglected to draw his hood....

The day I started drawing this, I was in the computer lab in the Student Union building. I had all the reference pictures up on the screen and then there was the powercut... ;A; So most of the top-half of this page was drawn from memory. ;;;

ETA: Oh shiii -- I didn't realise there were button join-y cover-up attach-y things on the bottom of the jacket (as seen in Argilla's costume. This is what happens when you draw from memory. I get how it all works now!! FFUUUUUUUU ---

By **Admin**. 29/04/10, 10:45 am

...IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

xD I was trying to look at the costume as a bodysuit and was just going: FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU-

8D;;

Also, I agree about the boots!

You draw really well. ._.

How would Heat and Serph's tops work? ._.

By Li-Bai. 29/04/10, 10:57 am

Oh god a bodysuit haahahha xDD Yeah, now we just need to, y'know. Find out how we're gonna make boots D8

hahahaah ty ;;;; I actually used to draw fashion designs way back when, so it's kind of a flashback Sat'11-- Digital Devil Saga 37781

(Oops, I just realised that Heat also wears the sleeveless zip-up... vest... thing. Make that 'Character specific: Gale, Cielo and Heat'. Yeah, a lesson to be learned about drawing from memory, guys.)

Which part? Do you mean this part (outlined in red)? It's the same as the top-most left-most sketch on the page, he's just zipped it all the way up instead of leaving a collar fold-back. Is that what you mean?

ETA: Edited image and uploaded, now they're labeled! Yaay! ihucorelpainteressentials2.

By **Admin**. 29/04/10, 11:09 am

Ah, yes, that's what I meant. I thought it might be that, I just couldn't figure out how exactly it would zip all the way up. I forgot lapels could be folded open. |D

Boots are a smarmy wrench (apparently). But I think the easiest way is to buy a pair of shoes with the right shape, and then create a fabric boot cover that gets stuck to the shoe~ 8D

By Li-Bai. 29/04/10, 11:12 am

Haha good job, good job xD

I read that as 'boobs are a smarmy wrench', but that too 8DDb Okay great. We'll charge that task to you. Now go out and find a style of boot that accommodates for sizes 3 up to 14. ;D

By Static. 29/04/10, 11:51 am

Ahh...I think I actually will need a bodysuit (WITH CHAPS) for Jinana! Kinda looking forward to it though Very Happy

Edit: omg, this is a new thread! So um. zyes, I still want in please! sweatdrop

By Li-Bai. 29/04/10, 11:55 am

Oh yeah, I didn't get around to doing Jinana separate parts because I wasn't 100% sure if you were still in 8D Her outfit is actually virtually the same, just she has the midriff cut out of her vest-thing and the top part of the shoulder is cut off. But yeah, bodysuit can save dignity? And that does make it chaps 8D

By Pyro. 29/04/10, 11:58 am

@Static- WOOO, YAY, I STILL HAVE A JINANA! <3

By Static. 29/04/10, 11:59 am

All good! I'm kind of embarassed I didn't notice this was a new thread - that's what I get for following damn twitter links Razz

But yes, still VERY keen! I'm really looking forward to this :)

By Static. 29/04/10, 12:04 pm

.....hm. Try gubbs shoes, on wakefield street. They're a family owned shoe store, and may be more receptive to helping us out than a chain! What kind of style do you think would be suitable?

By Pyro. 29/04/10, 02:51 pm

Hey.

Hey guys.

To get that futuristic look all the characters have, you know what we should wear on our feet?

...
...
... Crocs.

(-shot-)

(I WAS ONLY KIDDING. D8)

By Li-Bai. 30/04/10, 09:45 am

@Admin -laughs evilly-

@Static Something farily leg-hugging, fo' sho' - probably the type you can just slip your foot into as well, since if we attach the boot cover on top it'll have the fake most-likely-not-operable zip on the side and that'll restrict...stuff. That being said, the guys and the girls will need probably different sorts of fit, not to mention Gale and Cielo wear short shoes anyway...?? 8D; There's actually that store The Last Shoemaker or something on Cuba Street? That'd be totally expensive though. ;;;;

@Pyro -is shooting- Oh god no, not Crocs xD

ETA: PROOF THAT EVERYONE WEARS THE KNEE-LENGTH PANTS!! Bat may be a crazy ~~sexy~~ manwhore circus-knife-thrower, but I doubt even he would wear pants that are longer in one leg than the other. 8Db

By **Admin**. 07/06/10, 01:17 pm

WOOT! I have acquired the first and second games, new from the MightyApe Queen's Birthday sale! >w<

MightyApe = BEST EVAR.

...they arrive tomorrow. >_>;

By Li-Bai. 15/06/10, 06:53 am

Shoe suggestion. Those silly short gumboots with a fabric-y extension for the leg part, connected at the back with an invisible zip?

Excuse me while I grace your screens with a horribly done indicative mouse-drawing:

Spoiler:

Then we decorate it with the funny lines. Like, that stuff window art paint stuff. Or piping. Something like that.

No, just shoes that are longer Razz

I've been thinking about fabric again. I think cotton sateen would be a good choice for the jackets, maybe pants too - the bodysuits some charas wear might need to be different, but sateen is a good weight, breathes, and has a bit of stretch to it. Looking around for stuff, found this: http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=58237db6-9465-45be-88a6-72aee3911c91

Looks like it has the same texture as drill, but with a bit of stretch. They also have OOODLES - would it be a good idea to sort out now how much fabric we'll need to do everyone?
