@xvz: i can probably do a couple coords per dress, but they all look very similar. right now it's mostly, how many roses can i put on myself, and how casual do i want this to look? if more casual, go the beret look, otherwise pile on the bows and roses on the head. see my hair is very flat lol. i don't maintain fringe or bangs either, so i have all sorts of partial fake hair (but tbh, i'm having issues with the fake bangs looking natural). i think big dolly hair with full curls (that wig is a pain to maintain omg) or a heavy curled pigtail wig looks the best for adding volume in the head area. the issue with wigs is that putting on headbands of bows on top of it is quite constricting.... soooooo problems. i think bow clips with wig is best, and hairband bows with natural hair is better pairing. idk i haven't experimented enough with the hair situation to know for sure.

if you don't mind tea partying at home, nothing wrong with having a set at home for the lols :3

@star2000shadow: hello star! i'm also in that sleepy boat with you haha
probably going to sleep soon myself

@xvz: yeah a very very soft gradient with the main goal of adding color variant.

whatever works for you is best? there are ways to merge lineless and lineart with painting over lineart so that it blends into the color, while still maintaining the sharpness of the lineart. the only way i've done it is pretty time consuming though, so it's not something i do often unless i'm in a mood for portrait-y styled things.

also what is this "style" you speak of?
everything i draw looks like a different person drew it each time LOL

@xvz: gradient shade is what i call adding a very light color variation on the flat color. it adds a little bit of visual interest so when you overlay a multiply layer for shadow, the shadow also isn't as bland if that makes sense. it's similar to doing soft shadows but lighter and changes hue.

it depends on what i'm doing, but i generally have these steps and i cut out stuff depending on how clean the final piece is, and possibly cycle back and forth between shadow/highlight if there is extra fine tuning and depth issues:
1. sketch
2. line art
3. flat colors
4. gradient shading
5. soft shadow
6. hard shadow
7. soft highlight highlight
8. hard outline highlight
9. glow + color dodge
10. reflection shadow
11. watermark + signature

@totananimefan: biscuits just sounds really dense and heavy for a time when i don't want to eat.
i'll take fruit over vegetables if i could, but i think i need more vitamins from vegetables in general.
@xvz: oh i've never tried that... not much of a pepper fan, but i do like green onions :>
yeah i try to eat -something-... well something that isn't junk food anyway.
@khadijacandy: hello! what was the challenge for today? :D

@xvz: yep sounds about right haha
soy sauce + sesame oil on the side, but the soup itself was plain.
@totalanimefan: yeah if i'm not hungry, i eat more vegetables haha
I'm bad about actually eating on time, so i try to not skip meals.

OTT = over the top
basically lots of accessories and extra -extra- fancy end of the already extra fancy subfashion lol
i ask questions like, how many more things can i put on top of my head?

right now it's sort of the beginnings of a classic wardrobe. i have two main pieces, two basic white lantern sleeve cuffed blouses (peter pan + high collar), plenty of petticoats, and a smattering of accessories, so i think i'd like to expand on the accessories. minor issue there being i like big bows but i actually need smaller accessories to fill in space a bit better. that and i'm bad at styling my hair to accommodate more bows. i hate wigs, but wigs just give more volume to put more bows on LOL

yes i recognize the white rabbit hair which i like :3
