Description While browsing DD's and so on, I saw and `meago 's Various designs and I liked them so much that I decided to try doing my own. I kinda suck at clothing design so it's about time I get better at that.

my designs are flower-themed because I love flowers. And dresses.

Tell me what you think

Also, if you have a flower suggestion let me know!.

I'll update this same deviation as I work on more designs

about 15 mins each, drawn on my Sketchbook. All anatomy references thanks to my little wooden manikin

A very sweet collection of figures. This has a distinctly retro feel, like early twentieth century drawings/illustrations.

The third one (the middle one, top row) is my favourite design, although they're all really pretty.

Woaahh Gweeeen, calm dowwwn XD Hahah You're more versatile than a shapeshifter on drugs

My favorite one is the daisy design Though i don't thend to like that kind of dresses (the puff sometimes looks odd) That one looks really prettty, and I don't know why but everytime I look at it, it makes me think about a "petite-cute character" walking downstairs (prom day ?) and the mildly shy best friend/boyfriend kinda surprised (but very happy inside) I'm weird, sorrry


HMMM suggestions??? Erhmmm... Lemme seee *tries to activate that last neuron on his brain* o___o.... hngghhhhhh ...... U-hhh-uh-mmmm, may be you can try with a Dessert Rose or a Lantana, or a Lily! oorrr Crane flower or Fuchsia, Camellia, a Jade Vine ... Orrrrrr a Golden Shrimp plant (The real flowers are only the tiny white parts, but still, the yellow part looks more interesting ) Gahh, I'm sorry, I used to know more flowers but my memory sucks right now Aghh I need to eat fish more than once a year. Hope i could heeelp


Good luuuuck and keep inspired

haha, you're not weird, that's the feeling I wanted to get for her anyway I mean, daisies are so simple and delicate.

wonderful suggestions I'll try to do them all
but fish is so good, why eat only once a year?

Thank you, I hope I willC:

`meago 's pretty inspiring, huh?
It's always good to try out new things~ I really, really like this, especially the cherry blossom! I'd love to see you try making a chrysanthemum design (or a venus fly trap, if you want to incorperate it as a flower ;D).

VelCake In reply to autumnicity [2012-12-02 02:51:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! written down. I'm trying to work on designs of all the flowers people here suggested and venus flytrap is definitely and interesting one to try, I wouldn't remember it.

I like all five of them : D They're so beautiful (though I'm curious about cherry's outfit, is she wearing a sweater/cape piece, or is it all one dress?) and it's hard to pick a favorite but I pick rose (even though I'm not fond of the flower itself) because I simply love how you drew the girl and the dress and made it seem so...Ethereal. The black and white is also...So floaty, and the variety of poses only adds to this whole piece.

Hibiscus has such a lovely skirt and shoes. And rose--I love how you managed to reflect the design through actual flowers (like on the waist) and so you managed to keep her delicate yet complex and elegant (through the long flowing skirt) even though the flower itself is quite bold XD It's also really cool, how in daisy, you can keep the origin petal shapes of the flowers and I think her flower's origin is the most obvious out of the five because of it. And for some reason, Daisy's girl and her clothes seem puerile. It's like you based the design on the symbolism of the flower (daisies are innocent and fresh). Orchid's dress is pretty unique, a bit revealing, but still very pretty. Her hair also radiates sophistication. Rose has a sort of ladylike quality to her; Orchid seems more like a fashion type of girl. Cherry Blossom looks nice in a profile pose, but maybe you could draw her from the front some time? since the front seems interesting. I'm also curious, did you try to make her look a bit oriental (the fan and hair sticks?) She 's a nice end to the sequence. : D I hope you draw more flower dresses!

VelCake In reply to cembree [2012-12-02 01:55:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!

The cherry outfit is just one piece, yes. It's a bit like those shirts that look like they are a t-shirt with a shirt under it but it's just one piece I'll draw a front piece of cherry blossom eventually and post on a separated deviation, I really like how it came out so I am inclined to use it in a painting, colored and all And yes, the intention was to make her look oriental, since cherry blossoms are so commonly associated with Japan.

What's funny is that rose was the first one I did, and it inspired me to do more designs. The variety of poses comes from the fact I wanted to train both designs and anatomy, so I decided to practice two things in one concept. it's fun.

I did base the designs on their symbolism as well, yes I also tried to be quite loyal to the flower shapes because, as much as I like *Nijuuni 's fruit designs, I think they don't have much to do with the fruits themselves except the colors and one or other detail. I wanted my references to be more direct.

They're all beautiful! I also love the pose and face on the Rose dress, it adds some sass and even more elegance to a beautiful dress I'd love to see a dress based on a fuchsia I bet you'd do that wonderfully!

VelCake In reply to TheLastHuzzah [2012-11-14 03:13:13 +0000 UTC]

That's what I was looking for. though its still a bit rough, I think I'll do some changes on the Rose and update it soon.
I'll see what I can do!
