My Ticket out of Calgary

I finished everything up on Thursday morning and I mailed my portfolio out later that day to be couriered by Friday afternoon. There. Now I'll shut up about it and if I don't get in, I'll seriously puke. Now I'm cleaning up my house for my Japanese homestay girls that are coming this Friday. I'm fricken' PUMPED.

Kay, here is my portfolio and then you NEVER HAVE TO LOOK AT IT EVER AGAIN.



Eternal Sailor Moon Cosplay


Pants


Princess Sailor Moon Cosplay (Also Grad dress)


Ladie's Evening Wear (Pencil Crayon)


Swimwear (Watercolor)


Men's Casual Wear (Photoshop)


Children's Wear (Pencil Crayon)

So whatdaya think?

Yep, you guess it!

No, I don't talk about ANYTHING else if you haven't noticed.


Women's Formal Wear. All done except for coloring in the lips and eyes as well as cleaning up and trimming the background.


I'd like to consider the term "men's casual wear" relative. This is just the line art. I'm going to render it in Photoshop. I really don't like how this looks now because all the bits that I have meshed in are supposed to represent a lime mesh overlay on black, so in reality would be the lighter areas.

So, what do you think? :/

Potfolio Art

Well, I've accomplished something (but even so, I'm not finished and feel although I've accomplished butt-fuck nothing) These are part of the drawing portion of my portfolio submission. It's supposedly "women's evening wear". I have to draw the back view in but I left my Research Work Book at school so this is as far as I'll get right now.


This is the rough coup, just to give you an idea of the colors. Not quite fixed on the blending on the bottom of the outer dress layer... If you can't tell, its supposedly a mushroom cloud... She has chemical equation things all over the top too!


This is my good copy that I'm handing in. I have yet to add colors so this is all you get for now.

Edit:
I finished the back version too:

Portfolio plan of attack

I may possibly have to have my University portfolio done in less than a month. Even so, I only have until early April to finish all of this for the Art 31 IB examination. So basically, until then, if you're trying to carry on any kind of remotely intellectual conversation with me, expect an answer like "1.5 CENTIMETER SEAM ALLOWANCE!". I haven't been sleeping. Not only because I've caught my cat's infectious disease but because I'm thinking about bloody sewing ever waking moment I'm spending away from my projects. I didn't even know there was school yesterday and the day before. Thats how bloody in to this I've been.

Anyway, for my sake mostly, here is a list of all my projects for my portfolio:

GARMENTS
- Eternal Sailor Moon cosplay
- Plaid pants
- Grad dress (Princess Usagi dress)

FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS:
- Women's evening wear: Cyber-style kimono with Hiroshima bombing imagery.
- Men's casual top and pants: I'll think of something. It just won't be very casual...
- Swim wear: Strawberry bikini. Really cute (but mostly because I don't fancy swim wear to begin with)
- Children's wear: Sweet lolita-style dress.
