i worked a bit on mellow's skirt over the weekends also because it's quite easy to do so. i think i'm using all the same methods for her sleeves, skirt etc. everything on her is so 'flowy', the harder part is finding the materials to match and getting the 'fishy' feel.

i got some refractive surface cloth for the base

and some sequinned overlay

when it's combined it sort of case a barely visible sparkle underneath (that i'm gonna lie to myself by saying it looks like scales)

also added a shiny chiffon over the sleeves. the base pattern is so not visible now, so i guess i sort of used the wrong base - could have used a normal looking satin instead of my watery pattern one... bwahhhh...

used foam to make her fin ears

had a bit of time on the last day of CNY holidays (sunday) to do up the sleeves for mellow using one of the fabric my mom bought. lol. it's full of watery like patterns, thought it might suit the character. have to wait for the other fabric to arrive from tb before i continue...

basically it's a great big circle, like how you do all other flare skirts....

and when you loop in it becomes a flare sleeve!

i know, this is sooooo exciting. bish.

Mellow Petshop of Horrors

i was so addicted to petshop of horrors, i downloaded this manga online app so i can read it on the go. thank goodness they have the manga inside!!! if you're interested you can read them here

i love the local team who did petshop of horrors and i'm so glad and honored i'm joining them!!! i remember when i saw wsakura at afa/soy in her phoenix costume and i was like 'what series is that!!!!' i love all ancient looking costumes and hers was a mixture of traditional chinese and jap. then i saw the rest of the team during soy (roy's singing bird... thai chicken omg)... and on DA and it was just wwwwwwwwwhoooa. check out their DA, just search for petshop of horrors and you can be sure to find their awesome pictures.

i like their blinging principle and 'build on your creativity if you don't see it in the manga!' because manga comes in b&w, it is difficult to get the correct colors and all the pictures from all angles, so you really have to expand them on your own. wheee
hopefully i can do a blinging good job too and not disappoint hime~!!

so here's the character i'm doing and the captures from the manga, you can read the chapter here:
