I said I wasn't gonna do anymore.

Then she extended the deadline.

IT IS NOT MY FAULT.

Anyway. Taken loosely from the Haida style of art, applied to silk chiffon and crepe back dress, with a very stylized Death's Head Hawkmoth [link] on the back. A leather belt and silver brooch hold up the dress. Pinned to her hair is a woven headband with a pair of eyes, one on each temple and dangling silver strands weighed with beads. The band itself is "teeth". It doesn't continue around the back of her head.

I saw shoes like these a long time ago while I was at FIDM, only they were pointy and bright yellow. The girl had a colorful style, and I thought they were awesome shoes, as they had nothing on the inside of the foot. I took away the point and made them black.

Yar. If it were color, the "underdress" would be red, and the gray parts would be either red or blue. Silk painted.

Death Head Moth Totem Dress

I want one. :B

The end.

yuss I am
actually, I really want to make this dress. I would rethink the bottom portion design a bit, I am still not happy with it, but it's a light airy dress you can move in, with a badass death's head moth on it!

This is really lovely. I would really like to see it realized in actual fabric.

Making fun of the powerful is Bravery, because they can make you pay for what you say. This is why Satire is the weapon of the Clever Courageous. Making fun of someone weaker than you are, that is merely Cowardice.
That's a wonderful idea!
