This is a great dress from the recent Barbie movie, The Princess and the Pauper. It’s the dress that the pauper, Erika wears. She is a seamstress. Maybe that explains why a pauper has such elaborate dresses. Maybe. Anyway, the movie is cute and I really liked this dress, so I drew it.

This is one of the supercool costumes from “The Incredibles”. The mask won’t actually attach to the paper doll because of the hair, but the costume had to have a mask.

I watched the movie of “War and Peace” the other day (the one with Audrey Hepburn). It is one of my favorite books and the movie is wonderful. Anyway, Natasha wears this beautiful ballgown at one point and I just fell in love with it. I had to draw it, but I didn’t get the sparkle to come out right.

So here is Natasha’s ballgown from “War and Peace”:

This is the gown and spencer jacket that I made to play a character in a LARP a week and a half ago. It was a Frankenstein themed LARP, and it was lots of fun. My character was the wife of a heart expert (and one herself too) from France. I had a great time in the game and she was a fabulous character to play!

Here’s her regency era outfit!

This outfit was supposed to be posted yesterday, but technical difficulties prevented it.

Anyway, this is another outfit from the closet of Adialana (my D&D character). This is her current adventuring garb. The cloak is one of a matching set that she had made for the Companions of the Purple Star and is magical. The broach at her hip was a gift from Fure, the cleric in the group, and (until Michael decided to randomly make it no longer magical) it used to cast cure light spells whenever she needed them. Anyway, she’s kind of a gypsy dancer, so this is her regular clothes. I like her clothes, I think that it’s likely that my paper doll is likely to get more of Adi’s clothes in the future.

Here is Adialana’s Adventuring Outfit:

I was reading the September Vogue today and noticed this great coat by Jill Sander. I wish I could afford it, but it’s over three thousand dollars! It is a great coat though. At least my paper doll can wear it! Unfotunately, the scanner somehow added smudges that aren’t on the drawing. Oh well.

Here it is:

I’m getting one of the new She-Ra figures! She was a Comic Con exclusive originally, but there was so much demand for her that Mattel let the He-Store at He-Man.org sell her! It’s very exciting!

Anyway, I’m so jazzed about it that I just *had* to draw the new She-Ra costume for my paper doll today! I forgot about her cape until I was almost finished, but otherwise this is drawn from the pictures of the figure that I found online. So here she is, the new version of the Princess of Power!

It’s been a few days since I managed to finish a drawing to post, but here it is!

A few days ago I finished the book “Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal” by Chrostopher Moore. It was wonderful. Incredibly funny and thought provoking. This is one of my favorite short passages:

The angel and I watched Star Wars for the second time on television last night, and I just had to ask. “You’ve been in God’s presence, right, Raziel?”
“Of course.”
“Do you think he sounds like James Earl Jones?”
“Who’s that?”
“Darth Vader.”
Raziel listened for a moment while Darth Vader threatened someone. “Sure, a little. He doesn’t breathe that heavy though.”
“And you’ve seen God’s face.”
“Yes.”
“Is he black?”
“I’m not allowed to say.”
“He is, isn’t he? If he wasn’t you’d just say he wasn’t.”
“I’m not allowed to say.”
“He is.”
“He doesn’t wear a hat like that,” said Raziel.
“Ah-ha!”
“All I’m saying is no hat. That’s all I’m saying.”
“I knew it.”
“I don’t want to watch this anymore.” Raziel switched the channel. God (or someone who sounded like him) said, “This is CNN.”

So I decided to draw one of the outfits described in the book. This dress was worn by Joy (which is short for Tiny Feet of the Divine Dance of Joyous Orgasm, but that’s too long, so they call her just Joy). Joy is a chinese concubine who lives with one of the three kings. Anyway, she’s a woman who is sexy and totally deadly at the same time (and not in a creepy way). This dress is apparently just the kind of thing she wears around every day and since it sounded pretty, Idrew it. The chinese dragon isn’t perfect, but it’s not awful either. To use this as an actual paper doll dress you would have to cut along the slit in the skirt so that her right leg could peek out.

Here’s the dress.

Adialana is my character in a current Forgotten Realms D&D campaign I’m playing. She had to attend a masked ball early on in the game (over a year ago now) and this was the dress that I designed for her. Since we had the first session again after a break yesterday, it seemed appropriate. The bodice is quilted and enhanced by pearls and the mask is adorned with peacock feathers.

It was supposed to get posted last night, but I unfortunately hit my head and was too woozy to finish and scan it. So here it is, a day late.

Here is Adialana’s Ballgown

*Note to self: Never let fiance post to website.*

So, tonight we went over to some friends’ appartment and watched more of Babylon 5. Michael and I had never seen the show before, so about a year ago they decided to make us watch it. We are now almost through the final season. It’s a really good show. Anyway, I love Delenn’s costumes, so today I decided to draw one.

Here is the outfit:
