Day 25 (Gijinka)

And so, inevitably, I got around to making gijinkas of my original favorite Kirby characters! I was stuck on them for quite a while because I didn’t want to make them look too much like Magolor (my fault for giving him the head wings, I know) and I also didn’t want them to look too much like they do in canon because I think the fun of gijinka as a design exercise for me is adapting design elements into a new context, and also Elfilin doesn’t have any clothing or body details to work off of which made coming up with his outfit really hard, but I had the idea for the hair and liked it so much I just decided to run with completely human-looking designs for them. (The closest I have for an in-universe justification for this is like… maybe the Ancients were humans before they were catpeople - wait I still haven’t posted my Hyness gijinka - and Elfilis originally looked the same as in canon but changed to mimic them at some point for DNA acquisition and/or sympathy-garnering reasons. Idk it doesn’t really matter just really funny comparing them with Magolor lol)

Fun Fact! The double helix motifs in Elfilis’ spear and Forgo’s ear are left-handed (if you make a thumbs up with your left hand the stuff twists in the direction your fingers are curled as it moves the direction your thumb is pointing), which is the opposite chirality from the DNA in all known life (it’s right-handed). I’d be willing to bet that was on purpose to make them more alien. I went a little crazy with the left-handed double helixes in these designs; in fact, the positions of Elfilis/Forgo and Elfilin make a left-handed double helix through the whole post! Not even on purpose!

Anyway, had a lot of fun with these and wanna do more with them in the near future (now I can put Elfilin in cute clothes irl AND on my computer)

Can you explain how the shoes would take effort to take off? I just realized I'd been assuming you'd put on/take off medieval shoes just like modern ones, but maybe it's different.

I don't think they'd be significantly different in terms of taking them off or on - some seem to have been slippers (i.e. slipped onto the feet) while others used laces, buckles etc. in order to secure the shoe to the foot. What I meant by "take a bit of effort to get off" was more about in comparison to the rest of the clothes. Like, you have to physically bend down or pull your leg up to reach the buckle of your shoe which interrupts your frantic make-out session more than just, like, loosening the laces of your braies enough to slip them down.

Making a regency gown: Finished

Here, have some dogshit-quality photos of the finished dress because my phone is a worthless overpriced potato masquerading as a camera

I swear it looks better in person.

I'm actually pretty pleased with the final gown even though I used 100% the wrong fabric and the skirt could use a whole entire panel more width. The floral embroidery on the hem (4th pic) came pre-embroidered with the fabric, but the dots and vines were hand-embroidered by me.

I finished the embroidery 3 weeks ago but didn't post pics because I was still holding out hope that aforementioned dogshit camera would cooperate. And well, I finally said fuck it, I'm tired of trying to get decent photos while standing on a chair in front of my bathroom mirror while 19/20 of the pics I try to take come out blurry. These 4 photos are just the least terrible of the bunch 🤬
