My contribution to week 8 of the Ineffable Prompt-A-Thon by @ineffablyruined is for everyone and anyone who is sexually attracted to ✨Bildad the Shuhite✨
There once was a midwife and cobbler
whose hair was a shiny as copper.
He didn't kill kids,
he drank wine and ate ribs,
and we all found him hotter than proper.
(it’s only “improper” because you wouldn't wanna get too hot and bothered in the middle of the desert)
I used this older sketch as a starting point, and then I had a lot of fun playing around with halftones again! Look at those CMYK layers! I even made a gif!
There once was a nanny on fire
who dressed in haute couture attire.
If you come out to play
in the garden she may
fulfill all your burning desires.
A few days ago I started working on this illustration of Nanny Ashtoreth wearing the iconic Dauphine en feu ("Dauphine on fire") outfit by Thierry Mugler (design details and references under the cut).
Yesterday I realized that the Ineffable Kinktober prompt of the day was "role play", so... that limerick just poured out of me.
Oh, and I wasn't originally planning to draw what's under the outfit, that's also something that kinda just... happened 😳

Reference images
I initially came across this image when I was compiling my Crowley-coded outfits from The Nanny post. As you can see, it was the main reference for the right side of the illustration.

Upon further research, I found out that this design was part of Thierry Mugler's Les Infernales collection (Fall/Winter 1988). The outfit was named Dauphine en feu and modeled by his muse Dauphine de Jerphanion.

I used this other image as the main reference for the left side of the illustration. It's been reposted into oblivion and nobody ever says where it came from (I suspect it's a scan from a fashion magazine but I'm not sure). I linked to the source with the best quality I could find:
