Thoughts
- Shorts - black, very short, belt loops
- I have some old black jeans
- Dye them, they're a bit faded, more like charcoal now
- Cut to length
- Tidy the hem? Leave it grungy?
- I have some old black jeans
- Bike pants are close
- Boots - patent leather or PVC, zip-up front, "collared" at the top
- Madara might know a secret odd-size footwear retailer
- Raben
- Markets?
These? Finish is patent leather(-ish?), minor patterning on the front, standard side-zipping
- Okay, I got them. Damn, the heels are six inches high...
- Boots - patent leather or PVC, zip-up front, "collared" at the top
- Belt - fairly plain, could be canvas/webbing type, white or off-white, chunky, may have dual fastening pins
- Markets
- General Azn fashion outlets
- Saw a white canvas-y one at Raben, too many holes though, kinda ugly as a result
- Bikini top - delicious flat chest, plain black
- Lycra? Nylon? Something?
- Needs a cord for tying up, dye some plain white braid-cord?
- Cloak and sleeves
- Taffeta? Probably too shiny, not rough/heavy-duty enough
- Could just go really rough, like mil-type serge
- Needs a large zipper
- White five-point star motif on the breast - cut out a piece of cotton and sew it on
- Twin white stripes running down the sleeves, like a tracksuit
- Chains hanging off? Might be too hard
Acquired sample material, it's a heavy satin
- Eyes - left eye features a blue fire effect
- Obviously not practical :P
- Obtain vivid blue contacts? Difficult at short notice, and I've never worn contacts before
- icie can shop it in later
- Body
- Lolikko-type body, obviously not practical
Undeveloped lolikko-type body, getting close...
- Emaciated and limber appearance, surgical scarring on torso
Solution: ignore scarring, starve self until weekend
Costing
