Redrawing outfits from my old comics

Although I'm not really into fashion, sometimes I like to draw outfits & dresses occasionally for fun, and seeing that I made some weird, weird outfits back in the early 2000s (in MRMF comics and an older series, Rara & Majiidah comics), they might just be weird enough to actually be made into a runway clothing line. Well some of them are still normal & wearable though but never mind.


I know the characters in the comics are tween girls who haven't hit puberty yet (basically 9-11yo kids) but for some reason I wanna see if these clothes would fit teenagers & young adults too so the models are drawn as teens/twenteens.

Some outfits have two versions so I'm just gonna draw both versions of a type with the same model.


Lol. Totally loving the heart crotch pants & the mermaid dress. The former looks so wrong it's like, what was I thinking when I drew the heart shape on the pants back then?


Lol the orange & green fairy outfits are basically just underwear with plastic wings & skirts.

 
This set's outfits were designed in 2004, and they were supposed to be this clothing line released by MRMF (I was thinking of a photoshoot kinda thing back then).
The themes were :
  1. Flamin Hot, 
  2. Floral Fresh, 
  3. Icy Cool, and 
  4. Underground.

Not sure why I called them those names.




Lol ok, the grey+red outfit is totally emo. And the outfit next to it could be used as pajamas.
The outfits in this set was designed in 2005, and in that year I seem to have a thing for fruits, especially lemons, cherries & blueberries. Also the thing with the tights, though, but this time Converse chucks are prominent.

Initially, the clothes' designs are inspired by clothes worn by the kids in Digimon, Pokemon and all those 90's cartoons (mostly Digimon, thus the super TIGHT tights), but as the series progresses the clothes I design become more "wearable" and seem to have lost their weird quirky touch…. maybe cuz I got into emo fashion due to pop-punk bandoms, with the looser-fitting pants, the striped sleeves & socks and applying more black.

My thoughts on fanfictions

The other day I was reading this article on austinkleon.com about stealing like an artist (which he'll turn into a book eventually) and thought about number 3 on the list; "Write the book you want to read" and as he further explained this he wrote about how he wrote a fanfiction about Jurassic Park after the 1st movie, and then comparing it to the sequel which he thought sucked. So if he advised all the artists & creative people out there to write the book they want to read, draw the comic they want to read, act the movie they want to watch, etc. then this explains A LOT about all the fanart, fanfiction & fanmade animation of a lot of fandoms in deviantART or any other art websites with twisted storylines come from... Not blaming the advice; that is in fact a REALLY good advice. The sad thing about them is, nowadays most of the fanfictions roaming around the internet are either extreme yaoi (and yuri, but mostly yaoi) with crack pairings of two characters that a

Palette Change

Once again, a comic featuring my friends (even more of them this time) and another reason to waste my color pencils and some blue ink (which I managed, cuz I had to buy another blue ink cartridge for my pen halfway while doing this comic). I wanted to do a different story & concept this time, and seeing that my previous comics this year have certain color schemes with minimalized color palette, I wanted to fit several color schemes into one comic, and since that requires changes, the running gag would be the characters noticing the color change and constantly breaking the fourth wall, realizing that they're inside a comic. The inspiration that triggered this was Cookie Cat ice cream sandwich from Steven Universe [Episode 1: Gem Glow] buuuut the story for my comic turned out totally different instead. Plus I love ice-cream sandwiches and mint candies… also apples.
