【足太ぺんた】 (Asibuto Penta): Painting 2017 (preliminary work)


【足太ぺんた】(Asibuto Penta): Many hours in MyPaint / GIMP. A painting; probably neither finished nor abandoned; in a state acceptable for display pic.twitter.com/ikcOiCq4nV— 𝚘𝚒𝚘𝚒𝚒𝚘𝚘𝚒𝚡𝚒𝚒𝚒 (@oioiiooixiii) August 31, 2017

It was suggested to me that it might be beneficial to provide some ancillary info… The hands were hardest, both in choice and execution pic.twitter.com/NQumSMr5Tj— 𝚘𝚒𝚘𝚒𝚒𝚘𝚘𝚒𝚡𝚒𝚒𝚒 (@oioiiooixiii) September 2, 2017

The details get lost when resized smaller. Using 𝙸's for eyes; a twee idea that I included. Seen clearer in another exploratory doodle pic.twitter.com/3CaMsYLVed— 𝚘𝚒𝚘𝚒𝚒𝚘𝚘𝚒𝚡𝚒𝚒𝚒 (@oioiiooixiii) September 2, 2017

Halloween 1:6 Scale Sewing Project: Finished - "Sarabite"
"Sarabite" - 1:6 scale costume. Design and execution over 2 months. Consisting of cotton, satin, foam mesh, lace, and prefab. crucifix & cat pic.twitter.com/XlJHAC4gxO— 𝚘𝚒𝚘𝚒𝚒𝚘𝚘𝚒𝚡𝚒𝚒𝚒 (@oioiiooixiii) October 31, 2017
The original working title was 'cleric', and then changed to 'cenobite', relating to some fantasy religious order. After a little casual research it was decided that the word 'cenobite' has become too associated with Clive Barker's 'Hellraiser' series (Halloween being a particularly acute time) and an alternative name was sought. A related, and similar sounding word, "sarabite", was settled upon. While some definitions of the word leave a lot to be desired, the key points play into a "rogue" social status which suited the character.
'Sarabites, who have been tried by no rule nor by the experience of a master,... singly, without a shepherd, shut up, not in the Lord’s sheepfolds, but in their own, make a law to themselves in the pleasure of their own desires: whatever they think fit or choose to do, that they call holy; and what they like not, that they consider unlawful.
The Sarabites have no reference outside themselves: no rule, no abbot, no received tradition... The Sarabite syndrome can be summed up as: “I want to do what I want to do, when I want to do it, in the way I want to do it.”'

The entire outfit: back and front. Along with the constructed garments, the ensemble includes a bejeweled costume-jewelry crucifix. The 1:6 scale body is a inexpensive 'Owfeel' 1:6 female figure from Amazon.co.uk. The head is a 'SO-TOYS' (SO-05) sculpting of Emily Browning's 'Baby Doll' character from the 2011 movie 'Sucker Punch'. The hair was going to be replaced or dyed dark brown, but it was left as purchased. A Schleich model cat is also present in some photographs.

The project suffered some compromises and failings, but all in all, was deemed a success. The project took approximately 2 months, from concept to completion.

Halloween 2017 1:6 Scale Sewing Project: Ancillary Items
5 minute polymorph 45mm daggers. Forged with tweezers, and saucepan of simmering water as furnace. Authentic thread grip. 2 year warranty. [The batch of polymorph was first stained with silver poster paint, to give the blades an approximate metallic look.] pic.twitter.com/mDtGNY2Sdn

Long-gloves/armlets made from short sections of 2" lace ribbon. Sewn in place on the arms; the gloves were left open for appearance and ease of fitting.

An alternative idea early-on: The same foam fabric as used in the skirt. This gave a more dramatic look, but the fabric became too overwhelming when used alongside the skirt.
Halloween 2017 1:6 Scale Sewing Project: Hooded Cape
Prototyped in cotton, finished in polyester satin. Several versions and iterations investigated before the final design adopted. As seen in the two images showing cotton prototypes, the hood is separate and sewn in a 'V' shape along the back of the cape, to give it a more aggressive look. This was not included in the final design, but the idea of including some structural stitching along the back was kept with the full-length seam joining left and right parts, as opposed to a single piece of fabric.

Halloween 2017 1:6 Scale Sewing Project: Pleated Skirt
A [over]skirt made from black foam drawer-liner. Its pleating was welded with glue, which helped in reducing the waistband thickness. There is also an under-skirt, made from a small nylon sock and 2 layers of 2" lace sewn into it. Black ribbon used as waistband trim. Ideally this would have been sewn over the skirt's waist, instead of just one side, but as a smaller ribbon was being placed inside, to act as a belt, it was decided to construct it as one preformed encapsulated object. Surplus ribbon used from Л'Этуаль (L’Etoile) cosmetics.

Halloween 2017 1:6 Scale Sewing Project: Fitted Shirt
Originally designed as a shorter t-shirt, the longer length was left for versatility, as well as accentuating the fitted nature of the garment. Made from well worn cotton (old bed sheet), and generic hook & loop fastening [which proved difficult to sew due to the glue and thick plastic backing].

Halloween 2017 1:6 Scale Sewing Project: Designs and drawings

A selection of designs and rough[!] sketches for a sewing project embarked on in 2017 . It originally started out as 1:6 scale "Violet Baudelaire" dress, as seen in the 2004 "Lemony Snicket's ASOUE" film, but as the Halloween timeline was chosen, the idea of a "witch" emerged. Continuing on this, thoughts wandered to a "Van Helsing" type character, with a hooded cape and melee weapon accessories. Finally, a female cleric, or cenobite, was settled on.
