𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓: 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍
Hi there! My name is Yato and i wanted to show you the project i made for my drawing class, i'm studying fashion design, so we had to make lingerie for this one.
My inspiration came thanks to my beloved ones, the loves of my life, the men of my heart (men from visual novels but genderbend). To start with, I analyzed the characters to decide which concept I felt best described them:
Kier= jealousy, Soren= cannibalism, Clive= devotion, Solivan= eroticism, MC= the victim, Ren= manipulation and Adisorn= dominance
And with that, I researched color psychology to add more depth to the concept I chose for each of them: Black is associated with power and death. In a dominant context, it symbolizes the desire to control, possess, and remain unchallenged, even when there is an inability to control oneself. In jealousy, it represents the symbolic death that occurs internally when experiencing this emotion, as well as the desire to eliminate whatever separates the individual from their beloved.
Red is linked to sensuality, blood, and danger. In eroticism, it represents the desire that arises from the hidden; ironically, it is the outfit that reveals the least skin, since its allure comes from what is unseen. In cannibalism, it symbolizes the transformation of love into need: it is not enough to love; there is an impulse to become the other through their consumption. In manipulation, red reflects the latent danger of a shifting identity, where the subject constantly transforms to control others’ perception of them.
Blue is associated with spirituality, trust, and purity. In devotion, it represents extreme idealization, where the beloved figure is elevated to a divine and unattainable level. In the victim, it symbolizes innocence and blind trust, characteristics that make them vulnerable to those around them (At first, I was going to use white instead of blue, but I felt like my work looked incomplete).
Then we have the fabrics: The lace represents two elements: on the one hand, the strips resemble teeth; on the other, they evoke veins. The sheer fabric suggests that only part of them is visible—the part they choose to reveal.
Each figure establishes a direct connection with the others. Kier observes others’ desire from a distance. Soren has already achieved his goal and raves after consuming the victim. Clive is shown in an act of desperate supplication toward her. Sol directs his gaze at the viewer while touching itself, making us responsible for his desire. MC appears almost inert, influenced by everyone, but especially by Ren, who stands beside her. Finally, Adi tries to free himself from what binds it, but there is no way to ask for help; no one will hear him.
The veins in the background connect each element of the composition, emphasizing the center of the project as the source of everything and suggesting that each concept complements the other.
“Under Your Spell” by Snow Strippers played an important role in my creative process too, cause it speaks of being under someone’s spell, of longing for innocent and true love, yet of how impossible that is because she is full of scars—wounds that will never heal.
For the project submission, I included definitions of each concept written by me, an explanation of why I chose the colors, and two poems—one written by me and the other being Adi’s final dialogue at the end of the demo (I’ve included the images translated into English so you can read them).
I really loved this project and had so much fun working on it—I have an obsession (omg she said it) with all the visual novels I based it on! Thank you to all the creators for sharing your work and inspiring projects like mine. <3
