Fun Fashion Dailies #29-35

Five weeks ago, I began an illustration project. It was one fashion drawing per day using the same illustrated body template. Occasionally I reference something from pop culture, but most have been my own ideas.

Fun Fashion Dailies #22-28

Four weeks ago, I began an illustration project. It was one fashion drawing per day using the same illustrated body template. Over that period I have drawn 28 different looks. Some of which were inspired by pop culture, and most were my own ideas.

I initially thought to make this a 365 day project, but I wasn't sure I could maintain that. So I took it on a week to week basis. And if I managed to keep it up one month then that would be an achievement. So now the question is, do I take the project to five weeks?

Apple Bomb is Here

After many hours of work, Apple Bomb has finally landed. Apple Bomb is a thoroughly modern Snow White. At concept stage her name became Snowdrop. Through development her name changed to Apple Bomb as her fiery personality developed.

Apple Bomb is a royal and an activist. She raises awareness and is aiming to make social changes to end child slave labour.

Apple Bomb is mostly hand sewn, has hand painted facial details. Most of the fabric used came from left over fabrics; The denim jacket was originally from my old pants. Decoration on the headband was needle-felted. And the body has an internal wire armature.
