the people have spoken!!!

here's everything that could've been for the costume design contest:

other design thoughts:

i originally wanted to create something for laphlaes,, but i was having too many difficulties so i ended up switching over to lairei instead (sorry grandpa)

the overall idea of having something fancy & elegant stayed the same,, but the only major thing that changed was the character i was drawing for

lairei's look is centered around the idea of a fancy night out,, with outfit elements showing similarities to her base design

base design similarities i wanted were styled hair, necklaces, a large fur collar of some kind (in this case a shawl), a long dress, thigh slits, a relatively open back, and a deeply cut neckline

i'd say the main inspo from her other looks would be her "midnight edition" look,, with the same overall fanciness but More Casual and Less Elaborate??

i was tempted to give her a dark red lip to match her darker eyeshadow but i'm not too fond of how that might match her other elements so i settled for a soft pink
