Ok, so I'm REALLY into drawing. (though I'm not very good at it.) And try as I might, I can never get anything good to come from hours of drawing.

However, I've found that drawing books can give you a lot of help! I'm not talking about all those "how to draw manga" books though. Since I've moved into a new house (about a month ago) we still have a lot of junk just laying around. That's where my dad found it.

My dad was also an artist and a pretty good one at that. He found some of his old art things and was just going to throw it away. I gladly took it all off his hands. There were stensils (Spelling on that?), letter tracing thingys, and how to draw books!

Now these are OLD books and there just happened to be a fashon one. It's a great book in fact. (even if the clothes are kind of....outdated) Anywho, to the point of this! As I was glancing through it, I found what this topic is about. One of the women...

IT WAS FREAKING DOROTHY!

I swear it was! There's a shocking resemblance to one of our favorite villinesses! I can't get it on this topic right now but I will soon. I was so baffled that I busted out laughing after I blinked for a while. Though there are no freaky eyebrows, and the hair was shorter, it really does look like her.

How freaky is this?

EDIT:

I finally got my scanner working. ^^" OK, so I might have exagerated a little how much it looks like her. What do you guys think?

Coolie for fashion books. Did the girl look like Dorothy in the sense of face or maybe her clothes were similar? *sighs* I wish I could find a book with character costume references. *dreams of cosplaying*

Well the clothes were old fashioned, as I said, but I think I could see Dorothy wearing them. It was a pair of sandels, shorter pants coming down mid calf, and I think a flannel shirt. I'm not sure right now and I'm too lazy to go look. But yes, the face was a definate hit even without the extra eyebrows.

Good to know GW references are where you least expect them... I wish I could draw. After I saw pics of Moulin Rouge Pokemon cosplay where they turned Pokemon costumes into gowns, I was wondering how the G-boys outfits would look like as dresses. 3nodding

How exactly would that work? o.O I'm very interested in that, Lady.I'll have to find you a great cosplay skit that I found a long time ago. You'll laugh your head off.

Okies... Hm... For Duo, I'm thinking a black gown with a priest collar? Heero will be a toughie to think up. Sleeveless green bodice and a short black mini-skirt? *can't sew to save her life* If anyone draws em' up, I'll try to find a seamstress and model them. 3nodding Yeah, so far only Duo seems plausible but I see a vested dress for Quatre. Pink bodice, purlpe vest and brown poofy skirt. Could work? Dang! I need me some cosplay buddies. *is stuck in a country with hardly any conventions*

...You really ARE an evil genius! *bows* That's a great idea and I shall be the designer! I LOVE doing that stuff! Plus it will give me another thing I'd actually want to do. Eeeeee!

As I read this discussion, my brain has slowly become a puddle on my floor.

Now we just need some super high quality artwork of it to complete the effect xp

Yay! Got a designer! I'll try to draw up some price estimates and save cash. Wonder how many weeks I won't eat lunch... xp Blah! It'll be worth it. I'll probably get around to this project in June when I move in with my paternal grandparents. The maid and driver there adore me so I assume they wouldn't mind helping me with errands and making a few stops on my way home from university. *ish excited* Maybe if I'm a really good girl, my parents will let me go to one of the few conventions in this country.

Aona: Yes, I'm going to try to get it as soon as possible but for some reason, the scanner part of my printer/scanner/copier thing won't work. It only copies. crying I don't think it's hooked to the comp but I don't wanna mess with it at the moment.

Lady: I already have A LOT of ideas for them...but they won't be cheap. You don't have to buy them. gonk

I doodled for a few minutes because I was bored. I don't know if these will help or not, but they're just some random ideas:

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51342942/ : Heero
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51342879/ : Duo
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51342721/ : Trowa
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51343020/ : Duo (again)

Click on the picture to enlarge. It's kind of a given, but it took me a second when I uploaded them. Me: "Waaah! Why are the pictures so small?! gonk "

Side Note: I drew them as cosplayers might wear them. Don't worry... I don't think Duo, Trowa, or Heero have breasts. xd

It's ultra bad quality. I was just sitting around and read your posts. Thought I might as well give you guys some visuals to work with. Good luck getting your designs down!

Oh. PS. I'm an art major, so If you have anything you want to me work on for you guys, I'd be more than happy to.

OMG! Great work! Would the 1st Duo dress need leather? I liked your adaptation of Trowa's clown outfit and also the priest dress. A bit iffy with Heero though... Could you color them and suggest maybe what fabrics to go for?

^^ Those are cute drawings!! I really liked the first Duo and Trowa ones. Those are great possiblities. My dresses, however, are more like gowns that you'd wear for like a prom and such. ^^" OH and I really love your siggy. I've seen a website with that on there and I think it belongs to the girl who owns the site too. There's sooooo much H/R stuff it makes my head spin somtimes...But alas, it's in Spanish and I hardly know any spanish.

Why sure! When I get some time today, I'll color and re-post. heart
