Back in the Studio…

Green is my favorite color, can't guess what that might be but I'm interested,

[Confessional]

Getting back to finishing some old projects too, including an exciting convergence of green!

Experimenting… the truth is prettier under all that paint, and the new fabrics are very (Rit DyeMore) resistant.

^^ I was thinking back to the conversation we had about him, muttering "it must be done, it just must be done!"

So as much as I didn't like what he came with, I thought those bits could be used with a restyling. So I assembled what I had lying around and ordered a whole bunch of red items from CTVT to attempt this Mego-like-trickery.

Yes, Drac body, with a red bodysuit which has four stitches on the back of each leg from calf to ankle, and also stitched at the wrists. The original outfit is turned around and pulled to the knees and elbows, creating volume. I added red elastic just under each knee, holding the pants in that shape. The shoes are cut from CTVT red motorcycle boots, and I'll also be using their black witch hunter hat and deluxe red cape with additional modifications.

I've already cut and stitched a red head scarf, and the white collar comes next. Finding the right plumage for the hat is a challenge… ostrich could work. Lastly, that awesome staff is going to need sculpted. Love on!

Ye gods, you are my hero!

Are you adapting that over a bodysuit, or setting-in the lower sleeves and hose?

And what basis for the pumps?

…day two, out comes the needle and red thread!

I've missed some earlier posts. They, and the Phantom, look great.

[Confessional]

…only seems proper to start with the hands.

^^^ Cool stuff ^^^

Starting the holiday break with more dye experiments. A nice range of from red violet to blue violet. The photo doesn't quite capture it, but the Lizard Skin vinyl took Racing Red dye with surprising results and is now bright metallic crimson.

^^ It's all your fault, in all the best ways!

Hello Mr. March--great minds think alike, and I have a few Oz toppers. Great job.

Might also try a Freddy fedora, or save it for Eric.

More monster tinkering… Mr. Hyde is getting restyled. Messin' around with shoes, hats and modified cloak; still hand fitting and sculpting his walking stick too.
