You guys said something abt a Hikaru bone necklace so I figured I’d make one! Looks kinda cool, actually.
I made the bone with biscuit (cold porcelain, I think. It’s like clay). Sanded it down and cut off some pieces with a box cutter for texture. Then I used acrylic paint for the blood and finished it with a matte varnish.
none of you are prepared for this 1830 artillery officer's coat I found in the fort ti archives
I was like oh that's pretty, I like the lacing on the sleeves— OHHHH
THE CUNT!!! THE CUNT!!!!!
god DAMN I cannot imagine the price tag on this thing. all that gold lace on the front combined with the elaborate pattern on the back PLUS the giant ass fucking epaulettes. it's a rich man's coat if I've ever seen one but damn me if it doesn't go hard as hell.
also I know something is deeply wrong with me because I saw the buttons half-covered by the three-point pockets and went "oh that's slutty" before realizing my definition of "slutty" has lost essentially all meaning or at least has none recognizable to the average person
Just wanted to note that I spoke to the curator at Fort Ti about patterning and managed not to say "people said this coat had slutty buttons and I totally agreed".

✨ DUO DAY IS HERE!! ✨ Time to honor this extra incredible, very real, and most prestigious holiday for Duo Maxwell, Greatest of Gundam Pilots... (and good ol' Deathscythe of course).
Honestly, Duo never gets enough credit, but you know what they say: First is the worst... Second is the best... 🎶 Happy 02-02 everyone!
when I saw that cookierun was coming out with a Venetian, celestial dreams themed they/them jester I was just like. COME ON. I had grand plans of documenting the full creation process but well. The best laid plans of mice and meaces and all that. I did get some pictures of the patterns though still if that’s useful!
"— This was the beginning. This… is the story of how I met Vanitas… and how we met and lost together… and how, at the end of this journey… I killed him with my own hands."
so I've finalized the overall design of my vanitas build, mainly based off victorian cutting/patterning books and extent examples of clothing from around vanitas' period. the manga takes place specifically during 1889 but given the steampunk and ofc vampires, i allowed my time range to be 1860 to 1900. i allowed further back than foward bc i don't see that vanitas is rich and fittingly, i think he probably isn't plussed about wearing the most in vogue looks and just modifies older, secondhand, pieces
Going from the inside out, his shirt. i started with "Mrs. Beeton's book of household management" from 1879 for cutting and construction advice and i plan on following the described pattern in "A manual of plain needlework and cutting-out" from 1886
Man's embroidered cotton shirt, Great Britain, 1880-1900
This extent example is my main guide for looks, tho i will be doing a small bit of smocking on the sleeve head for added volume and also bc i can lol also ill make the collar and cuffs removable as per period tendencies, so i can keep them clean/starched
'Fashionable Cycling Dress'. Fashion plate, supplement to the Tailor and Cutter, published by The John Williamson Company, London, 1890s. Fr
for his pants, im going with cycling breeches with the modified foldover waistband true to vanitas' design. i may or may not add some decoration to the sides as ive seen in (childrens lol) breeches but ill def use some fun ribbon layering for the cuffs
nothing too crazy with the spats, im hoping to get vintage buttons to put on them and use a buckle for the under the heel strap like these ones show. i read in one primary source that breeches and spats had buttons to connect each other which i believe will aide in holding them up
Man' waistcoat of voided silk velvet, with a design of roses and forget-me-nots, probably French, 1845-50
for his vest, ill follow a period pattern and keep the construction pretty accurate, just removing the collar. considering using vintage titanium mesh for the stripes but will for sure include the 3 eyelet corset at the back to adjust size and also moving the shoulder seam way up like he does???
weird look but ok king.
the coat will be the hardest part by far. rn the plan is to go on a hoop skirt method.
extent examples often have this thinner wire and LOTS of hoops which i think will work best for getting that jellyfish shape of his coat. im going to try thick millinary wire and covering the shape with a gathered tulle "petticoat" that will all exist inside the coat. thoughts rn on getting the open front are having a removable piece shapes like a an upside down U that would allow the coat to open. also considering hiding ties and having the lining be openable to access/change the shape. aesthetically, im covering the whole thing in soutache. as his sleeves are kimono or furisode shaped accoridn got mochijun, i will continue this theme by bringing the design from one sleeves, down across the back, and to the lower opposite front as houmongi usually are patterned
this alexander mcqueen design for the collar is my main inspiration as i want a LOT of swirls and tiny details. theres also a few period examples of coats that will help me. i plan on making vanitas themed dead head thread buttons for the entire coat and potentially the vest
misc items: gloves i hope to make out of leather and gussetted; bows are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and the belt will maybe be leather or maybe eva foam and i will include the book and dagger holders, which i will 3d print. for the book, i hope to use that flexible plastic and leds inside to make it have "pages" and light up when i open it. dream goal would be the forge the earring myself but uhhhhh we'll see about that lmao
i anticipate this build to take me the next year to make and itll be fun to look at this og design info dump later and see what i actually did
On a serious note, seeing the real actual muppet joker attend a convention and just fully body what he’s built himself to be awakened something in me
Like damn I really can just do whatever I want maybe I should continue my art and stories and just do whatever I want even if it’s nonsensical and fucking weird and crazy
If the fucking muppet joker can why can’t I???
