Description
Gah... I need to think of a better title. LOL!So I made this for the "Masquerade" contest over at the History Fashion Lover's Club. It was fun!
The topic of the contest is to create a Masquerade outfit from your favorite fashion eras/types. So I've got some Punk, 1950's, Edwardian, Chinese, etc. And yet somehow it still came out looking rather Steampunk'ish. Not a surprise... LOL!
I am particularly proud of this since I did it 100% in Photoshop. Sketched, Inked and Colored. The lines are a little "wobbly" compared to my traditionally drawn stuff... but I think it turned out pretty good.
The awesome background photo that I have totally bastardized is from =CausticStock . You can see the original HERE .

Thanks!
I've never used Flash... is it similar to Illustrator for making lines?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think so...at least not the way I use it. I just draw in Flash, and it has a tendency to make the lines automatically smoother. The only time I have ever messed around with Illustration was a couple years ago and I didn't know what in the world to do with all those crazy tools.

Hmmm... I have Flash at work. They installed the big, action packed Adobe Graphics Suite even though I didn't need it all. (There went my bonus. LOL!)
I'll have to play around with it... I've never even opened up the program.

I like green dresses... "but not a real green dress, that's cruel"

I like green a lot... I don't think people give it enough of a chance.

not enough people like green.
It's actually my favorite color that's a real color (because apparently greycale doesn't count)

Greyscale... LOL!
I remember the days when all I had was grey scale, with a touch of olive and a little red.

I prefer lime green
but yeah, I basically wear black band shirts, and the most color I'll wear on a normal day is a pair of bright red and black zebra-striped skinny jeans.
