/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>7318065
Posted this on the old thread, but since it's autosaging I can say it here:
Okay, I put together a watermelon/lemonade/other fruits print, it has a sailor style top to it, should i make the print just on a front panel or all the way around?

has anyone made a list of the prints everyone on /cgl/ seems to want? I've seen a lot of people talking about maps and mushrooms.

>>7318112
we don't want mushrooms.

>>7318115
>speaking for everyone

>>7318115
i want mushrooms

What has been sent in so far?
A lot of the pictures that has been posted seems a bit unfinished.

http://rbt.asia/cgl/thread/S6757756#p6791888

>>7318115
u sure

>>7318115
Maybe YOU don't want mushrooms but I do.

>>7318115
faggot

>bread
>mushrooms
>maps
>vineyard
>kawaii dinosaurs
>eyes
>antique microscopes/alchemy
>curtain front dresses
>tarot cards (is there a tarot card print?)

what else? I can't draw for shit but I'd love to contribute in some way.

>>7318152
i really like the idea of scientific illustrations of plants and insects.
probably not even close to what bodyline is looking for though

>>7318155
this. fuck bodyline, we need some more science inspired prints.

We need more cat prints girls.
I'm designing "Magical cat party" print: pink, mint, lavender colors, yeah, kinda heavily inspired by the AP's print

>>7318152
more mythical creatures. dragons, centaurs, sea monsters, fairies, etc

>>7318152
I would loooove a dark purple and navy color way with tarot cards along the bottom of the skirt.

>>7318152
I feel like bodyline would accept a under-the-sea print if the sea creatures were cute enough. maybe an ocean floor with starfish, coral, and schools of fish or something.

>>7318164
Actually thinking of switching the cats (middle and the right one). Please note it's just a sketch fingerpainted on iPad. I have more sketches on my drawing board but it's too dark to take a picture (and my computer broke, hopefully it will be fixed before the deadline)

>>7318152
Crystals like these could be pretty cool, imo.

I'd also love a print with colorful elements like bismuth, but I don't think anyone else would like it.

>>7318191
It's so cute!!! Omg

>>7318195
I like it, anon.

>>7318152
a kawaii chess set print

>>7318206
I would love if bodyline did that.

I'm forever in love with Chess Chocolate, but every time the right colorway/cut go up for sale, I don't have any god damn money.

someone might find this helpful.

http://www.cgtextures.com/

>>7318201
I'm glad someone else does!

Also looking at some of these elements that look like crystal balls, I also think a fortune teller print would be cool. Like, a crystal ball obviously, then some tarot cards set out, random trinkets,candles with wax dripping, ouija board, etc.

I'll stop now.

meth lab print. please.

>>7318329
I'd actually love to see some chemistry related prints. Molecular structures can be so beautiful.

A laboratory equipment print would also be pretty amazing.

>>7318339
this. or (again) an alchemy print.

Would you wear mine, /cgl/? Any changes you'd make? (I'd like to stick with one pastel per colorway, and put a bustle of the same colored fabric in the medium hue on the back/hips, and a ruffle around the bottom. White area stays white, gold stays gold. Thinking about putting some little crowns in the diamonds.)

I love chickadees.

captcha: tractle clothier

>>7318360
way cute, but you might want more details on it. Avoiding that whole straight up vectoring look

>>7318360
MORE BIRDS PRINTS. I LIKE THIS. IT HAS BIRDS ON IT.

>>7318360
>Any changes you'd make?
Make it look like it's not supposed to be a clipart notebook maybe? there is no texture to that at all.

>>7318360

I think if you took >>7318367 's advice it would look great. We really need more bird prints. I'm rooting for you.

>>7318366
>>7318367
>>7318360
Yes, definitely, thank you! I'm leaving the shading until last so I can get the details on both the birds at the same time. I'm so glad you think it's cute, though.

(still slightly bitter at the Yandyman saying elegant isn't in style though, you should have seen this concept before I made it sweet. Two black-capped chickadees in a slate-blue and white winter field, with brown and black brambles, perched on a bush of red berries...)

>>7318360
I just slapped some colors down on it. simple little things to make it pop can make a huge difference

>>7318389
Jesus that looks nice. Better than what I had planned, I'll keep that shading in mind, thank you!

>>7318389
This is what I'm talking about!
>>7318366 here, looking at my comment part of it was cut off so I felt like I sounded bitchy.
>I really like the concept but perk it up a bit, there is no texture at all.
sorry if I came off as snotty.

>>7318392
Not a problem at all, I got what you were aiming for.

>>7318175
Our very own $40 bodyline jellyfish print.
Please girls make it happen.

Finally got back from work!
>>7317576
Here's the .PSD of the print if you still need it:

mediafire: /?4jye5ry4q3yghz5

>>7318432
the jellyfish has to be wearing a bow, though.

Petition to pool rejected ideas into a public spoonflower for /cgl/s free use.

>>7318438
Thanks! I'll continue to try to work on them making this happen.

>>7318440
petition to gather ideas on a google doc/pastebin.

>>7318434
Kuragehime inspired, please.

>>7318484
>implying this shit would make a good print.

>>7318484
THIS OMG YES PLEASE
Maybe the little cloth jelly fish they made as the print?

>>7318473
durrrrrrrrrr ok?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xRgbVCCdkTvdCGzcJl0honR8Xj8yIvArRBGXUJueZU4/edit?usp=sharing
just copypasta there for now though sorry.

>>7318484
Imagining Bodyline together with Kuragehime seems like a recipe for horrible dresses.

Gals, I call it ~jellyfish dreaming~ print
How do u liek it? Kawaii desu ne~!! hopefully Yan-sempai will notice me >_<

>>7318578
squiddles

>>7318586
I'd wear the shit out of a squiddle print dress.

>>7318440
Can't we even publish the approved prints on Spoonflower? It's not like Bodyline owns the prints, is it? I still want the print even if they make some shitty thing out of the designs people send to them.

>>7318646
homestuck pls go

>>7318578
Omfg. The mother of jellyfish.

Whenever I see people talking about jellyfish prints, I always think of this.

Going to try and make a few designs but I've got no tablet so they're all going to be sketchbook ones.

They'll probably suck but if anyone likes one and wants to take it over, you're free to. I just want to see Bodyline stocked with dresses I'll actually want to buy.

>>7318206
Yes to chess.

Maybe some kind of fawn print?

Anyone working on a seagull print?
I would love to go to a cgl meetup at a con where everyone was wearing it

>>7318735
pretty.

>>7318777
So I managed to draw something and it looks like total shit so I'm just going to go the easy route.

Crowns with gems. The gems can be vertical leading down to the crowns, or the crowns and gems can form a pattern along the bottom of the dress. Also the inner bits of the crown can be changed to match the color of the dress, same with the gems.

>>7318986
Budget Grazia yes plz

>>7318986
awesome idea. i actually made some gems but i have no idea what to do with them print wise!

>>7318986
Can I just say that I want a pink/white chessboard dress covered with pearls and roses after seeing the tabletop those crowns are on.

>>7318986
Crowns sound good to me, gems also.

>>7318432
yes please. someone make it happen.

>>7318986
Idea-Anon here. I was thinking this could be used for a one piece. Maybe something princess-y looking with sheer sleeves in white/black with the wrist cuffs in the color of the dress.

But yeah, I can't draw or design worth shit so anyone who feels inspired can do whatever they like and submit it.

>>7318986
I would absolutely love some gems and jeweltones! Pastels are pretty but my eyes are longing for some vivid colors. I'm pretty partial to crowns and royal things as well.

As I was falling asleep last night, I got the idea of a skirt with bustled chiffon scallops (like Belle's gown) with a pearl at each inward point of the scallop/bustle cord. And it was in sax chiffon over pink, but I think it'd be lovely in a bxw or shiro combo too. I might get my tablet and draw it out.

But what do you think of the idea, anons? Bother or no?

>>7319159
I'd have to it illustrated but I like it so far.

>>7319159
even if you think it'll look awful, draw it.

>>7319038
Slap a treasure chest or jewelry box next to them and call it jewel treasure or something.

>>7319038
I think this print would look a bit better on a more neutral, but color background. Nordic blue or burgundy or something?

>>7319159
That sounds awesome! You could keep it simple and elegant, but then again BL apparently doesn't want elegant...

has anyone got their LP yet?

>>7319239
Well, there was that one pack with the arms, at least... I haven't heard much of others, though.

>>7319266
I mean sleeves, not arms. I'm thinking about that damn secret made about it, rofl.

>>7318469
You're lovely, thanks anon!

>>7318666
Yes, they do. That's kind of the point, you're giving them legal right to the designs by sending them.

So I got a reply on my rabbit print (or the one with the rabbit and cat, they didn't really say).

"hello

It is a wonderful design.

You have great design sense and skill.

Our design manager will contact you today.

Thank you."

But later, I get this mail...

"hello

*link to some tracking site*

we send it out on 14th(tuesday)

it is on road.

You need wait more several days.

Thank you"

>>7319382
wut?

>>7319382
Maybe they accidentally mailed you over someone else's question?

>>7318986
Do crowns please! I would love it if there was a wine/blue/green/cream colorway. Dream dress.

>>7318735
What's that from?

>>7319382
I sent in a couple of designs yesterday and haven't gotten any replies. One of them was a joke design on a throw away email, but I was hoping they'd say something about it. Looks like they don't respond to every entry, though.
W-why won't Yanpai notice me?

>>7319421
Yeah, I sent in my swan print >>7317867 in the first mail, and they haven't replied to that one yet, only my rabbit one.

>>7319063
Seconding this. A chess print dress with the pieces at the bottom with rose petals scattered around them.

Pic related! >>7319159

I also added some bows under the pearls, and a rose venise lace over the waistband and hem. I don't wear sweeter things usually, so if this is something you've seen before let me know. I feel like my subconscious must have gotten it from somewhere, it's simple enough.

I'm thinking colorways at least would be sax/pink, pink/pink, white/white, maybe black/black? Couldn't think of a better way a chiffon overlay could work with black, but any other color ideas would be good. Maybe lavender/white? And the chiffon probably ought to reach a little further down to near-hem seam, now that I look at it.

>>7319450
maybe a dress inspired by a specific chess piece?

>>7319463
I love that!
But this is print contest, so unless you add a print I doubt anything will happen.

>>7319469
A borderprint of rook towers incorporated with a castle wall would be pretty cool, actually. With an all-over print above that of heraldry shields?

>>7319474
Yeah, I figure this is probably too boring for them now. But maybe I'll send it in and, who knows, they'll steal it for another time haha.

>>7319480
A bishop theme could be cool, you could throw a lot of religious motifs in there.

>>7318578
Looks like that one pastel jellyfish print somebody made and krad lanrete's fused into one.

Damn, all my ideas are sort of morbid so I doubt Bodyline would accept them.

>>7319450
not related, but your description made me think of this for some reason

>>7319541
Funny, chess and rose petals made me think of someone else entirely.

Anyone interested in making a cute design with a pleated skirt?
Salopette-anon, maybe you?

>>7319433
wtf I sent an email 932874298374 days ago...

>>7319382
Happens quite often that they confuse mails, even when there is no contest going on.

>>7319485
I- I'd love if someone sent in some cross or religious print or something with it. And include a black and white coord, maybe. I'd love it with that scalloped look.

>Gosu rori wishing the Yan man would add more good gosu

>>7319586
I think that means it's been rejected, anon. It's okay, you're not alone.

Leaving some freebie art resources suitable for prints here.

>>7319382
damn anon, I don't even like rabbits, but I would buy this.

>>7319612

Where are you getting these anon? I have a hard time finding free materials from Japanese sites but these fit the bill.

>>7319628

>>7319629
not that anon, but this website has some potentially useful resources.

>>7319662

>>7319599
Rejected or accepted, people get an email. Im worried it got lost in the mail or something, is that even possible?

>>7319680
Bodyline has never exactly been the best at communication, you might want to just resend.

i need help guys
I'm stuck without ideas, and I cant shade for shit

I just want to have a candy chess dress..

>>7319694

>>7319694
It's called Chess Chocolate

>>7319711
>Chess Chocolate
chocolate sucks
i want hard candies. and i want it CH33P.
>>7319709
oh shit. i just realized its too fluttershyish... screw it im adding butterflies and submitting, l0l

>>7319694
>dirty line work

ugh.

>>7319722
>too fluttershyish
Or not derpy enough?

>>7318195

Oh my god yes, that would be freaking wonderful.

>>7319722
>chocolate sucks

FUCK YOU.

How about some cute bumblebees?

>>7319726
oh shit. anon, where do i add derpy do

>>7319680
>>7319687
Really? Maybe I'll just resend tomorrow or something.

Had a go at making a print out of those free to use images.

>>7320012
I imagine this is the sort of sugary sweet stuff that bodyline is looking for. Seeing how well that carousel print, chocoberry and that love jewelry print did.

>>7320012
This is like a classier version of their cosmetics print. Very kawaii, anon chan, good work.

I'm starting to feel like the only one who hasn't received their lucky pack.

>>7320030
Thank you!

>>7320043
Same, anon.

Did anybody else buy the cosplay lucky pack?

>>7319709
Didn't some anon make a Derpy-Chan Chess Chocolate print?

Someone find it and submit that to bodyline.

>>7320060
Don't submit anything Derpy-chan to Bodyline, the proceeds of that are meant to go to charity and that's a dick move besides.

hey could anyone make a book print? sort of like the juliet et justine and/or the innocent world library ones, but with adorable cookbooks in pink instead.

PLEASE

>>7319382
I will buy this for sure.
I hope if they put out all these cute prints I hope that it'll be decent material.

>>7320073

I wish someone would. I mean, it would cost me more to get fabric from spoonflower than an entire fucking dress from bodyline.

>>7318152

I kind of want a bread print.

>>7320116
I hope there's a good amount of stock too. I usually don't have a problem finding my size on BL, but with all the hype these are getting, it could possibly turn into a race.
And then BL will never restock them again.

If the dresses themselves get screwed up, then damn. I'd consider getting the print and paying someone else to make the dress better. But let's hope the day of Bodyline replica never has to come.

>>7320118
>being this morally bankrupt
I'm not even a 'hurr evul replicunts art thieves!' fag but... seriously?

>>7320118
I would love to make a dress too but is the fabric even nice enough to make a nice skirt? Any pics of stuff people have made?

>>7320139
is it still a replica if the person who originally drew it releases the fabric themselves?

>>7320124
i remember you
from btb

>>7320154
We've been over this.
Yes. It is. Why? Because the person who drew the print is giving bodyline copyright rights to it. You're practically giving it to them so it belongs to them.

>>7320124
>kind of
Don't pretend like you're not bread print anon
We can all see into your eyes
Like open doors

>>7319450
If no-one else is getting in on this I will absolutely throw together a hi-res print of it.

>>7320144
This is the only dress I saw get made

>>7320160
This. So don't send in something that doesn't belong to you (ie, derpy) because you don't have that legal right.

And the fact of the matter is, the original artist would probably be fucked over by your selfishness, because Bodyline is in China and therefore difficult for them to stop.

>>7320161

Anon, let's do dis.

>>7320178
>Mr. Yan's Special Naan

>>7320139
Bodyline makes plenty of stock, and if they see that a dress is popular, they'll definitely restock it. Guaranteed.

>>7320171

That looks horrible. I'm glad I never bought it.

>>7320142

I remember when Derpy-chan was a thing. It was never about charity, it was about making and sharing fun prints, later someone who didnt want to profit of it said they'd donate the money to charity. Nice and all, but does suck that the designs (which I like) are stuck on fucking spoonflower.

>>7320157
What? I've lurked BtB on occasion, but I've never posted a secret (and neither have I done that back in lolita secrets) nor have I left a comment. I can assure you, you've got the wrong lolita.

>>7320171
So shiny...
Is there any alternative to Spoonflower?

>>7320184
I almost spat out my food

>>7320202
I believe spoonflower offers different fabrics, but they range in price. Person who made that dress probably chose the cheapest cotton fabric.

>>7320012
this is so cute <3

I also sent in a print yesterday but no response. Anyone wanna give me some ideas? I don't like mushrooms or birds....

>>7320171
>>7320060

Can somebody fill me in what this derpy looking pony thing is about?

>>7320207
Red panda...?

>>7320124

>>7320205
That's actually printed on their cotten sateen ($27/yd). I think the kona cotten ($18/yd) they offer now would look better because it wouldn't have the shine.

Spoonflower is pretty shitty regardless.

>>7320184
>>7320219
>mfw

I think it would be prettier if it weren't for the stripes. Ah, so much wasted potential, but at the same time, there's potential for so much more improvement.

I wonder if there's a coffee print. If not, there should be.

>Elegant Espresso
>Cute Cappuccino
>Melty Mocha
>Lovely Latte
>Dark Roast Ribbon

Clearly, I am having too much fun here.

>>7320252
Why should the names be so generic? We have plenty of lovelies and melties and such..

>>7320256
I'm making fun of the generic-ness of lolita print names (btw, does anyone know where the random generator went?). I'm sure I can be more creative when I get some sleep.

>Hazelnut Dreams
>Decaf Delight

Gonna make me a chocolate bar print....

>>7320328
make it 3L and call it Magical Murrrrrica

Doin' a thiiiiiing. The colours are just slapped on at the moment, I can't find a nice gold for the "black" pieces.

Does it need more stuff? It looks kinda plain to me right now.

>>7319420

I have no idea. It's just something I randomly found on the internet and liked.

>>7320352
hide things in the checkers? Its a bit too classic also, they might be like "NO U NEED RAINBOW AND COOKIE TO BE SWEET TO MAKE PRINCESS DREAM COME TRUE"

>>7320368
hahaha yeah, I was worrying about that. Maybe if I slap bows on everything they'll be more inclined to take it.

Bows... on the pieces? Bows on the pieces.

>>7320012
do you work at ap

>>7320213
seconded.

Bubbles, please?
I fucking love bubbles and if there was a print with bubbles there could be matching socks.
Help me seagulls, you're my only hope.

>>7319038
yan sama like only princess. only sweet is popular..

>>7318152
An astrological print. Constellations and the like.

>>7320563
Oh yes, seconded. I entered a star print, but it wasn't kawaii enough. I might try and fix it up a bit, though.

I was going to create a mermaid print with seahorses and jellyfishes, but my tablet is not home...

I'm not really that fan of pink, so i'm trying to convince them that this is a colorway that would be popular too. What do you think?

>>7320594
I like it! I'd even like it in black because then you could make it a bit more classic.

>Classic and Gothic Lolita

>>7320594
I like it. Navy is my go-to color. Would definitely buy, anon.

>>7320594
>>7320597
What about a greyish blue?

>>7320594
Yes please.

>>7320594
10/10 would wear

>>7320594
To be honest, I think the bunny and bunny one looks better than that cat. I like the cat, but it looks a bit... I don't know, off next to the bunny? And not because it's a cat and a bunny, but the way they were drawn. I don't know how to explain, but all this means is a bunny and bunny version would be good to add for this colorway too. I think you mentioned sending both, though...

Also, second the black. Take the navy colorway, and just change the navy to black and a few details, and I think it would look good with black and red.

>>7320602
That sounds good too, though I prefer black. I don't know what others feel..?

>>7320617
>>7320602
Also, going on their colorway habits, do they ever do that color? I feel like it's more likely he wouldn't do it if it goes out of their usual color palette. Usually the main options are black, pink, saxon, mint, lavender... Give or take because there is also yellow and red and etc, but those seem the most regular.

Gonna go to school now, so I will try out some different colorways later today.

>>7320610
I sent both, and it's easy to fix the colors for both since it is the same background for both. Is it maybe the eyes that you don't like? Because that was the thing that was making me a bit unsure about the cat. I will see if I can fix them.

>>7320624
That's why I will have to try and convince them. But they did navy for the cosmetics print.

>>7320650
Maybe it's a little more cartoony in comparison to the rabbit? You could try making the eyes just a tad bit smaller and softening the smile. The big eyes and smile make it look more cartoony than realistic.

How long does it take BL to respond to your submission
its been 31 hrs dangit!

>>7318112
I want a dress thats literally just pretty rainbow themed

What about a lion print? Like maybe something similar to Wolf in Frame.

>>7320594
what about a wine or brown colorway with just the bunnies?

>>7320594
Please green and wine. I hate blue because it makes my pale skin look as if I was sick. But please pink!

>>7320594
Love the navy, would wear/10

I... think I'm done?

>>7320797
Gorgeous! Love that the chess pieces also change colors, as do the shade of the roses. And the Bodyline 'B' is a nice touch! Well done.

>>7320797
I loooooove that blackxred, but I wish the horse looked more fierce. Could be just me though

>>7320797
How do you make these repeat but without looking like it has a start and finish?

>>7320804
Photoshop has a filter called "offset" that makes the edges of a picture wrap around. Once you get to drawing the edge bits you just shuffle it over so you're drawing it like normal. It's a bit fiddly but it's useful as fuck.

>>7320804
What software are you using? It should have a transform function that allows you to position your objects precisely (usually associated with the transform function or a 'shift' function). You simply duplicate the object, then set its coordinates the width of your fabric repeat away.

IE: Your repeat is 12 inches. You set one object's center at the 0 mark on your horizontal scale. Then you set the duplicate for 12 on the scale, to create the repeat.

>>7320797
It looks nice, but unfinished. It looks a bit cheap, because it's so vectorized and has so little attention to details.

>>7320594
I also like the idea of black and love the pink.
The two bunnies together work really well.

>>7320812
This. It's really flat. I'd add some detailing in but I'll leave that to someone else.

>>7320610
Melting bunny anon her, also tried myself at some bunny print.

>>7320986
Oh my god that's adorable.

>>7320986
YES YES YES YES
I want it in a cut like sugar fairy cake
maybe in that color of pink too *_*
more colorways please!!! :D

>>7320986
hm.. i feel like you need to have prettier lace behind the bunnies, and at the top, plus something interesting in the checker part. Its pretty nice so far though.

>>7320986
I really really like this. Has a sweet Innocent World vibe.

>>7320650
Okay, did some more colorways. I'm thinking about doing a wine rabbit version and that's all. For all I know Bodyline will be like "No, only pinku is kawaii". Also tried to fix the eyes of the cat, but I can't really draw so I just edited it a bit.

>>7320986
I love your drawings, they are so cute! But I have to say, the lace is kinda ehh. If you want I can send you some nice lace brushes :)

>>7321049
If this doesn't win I'm gonna get so mad because I need this print

>>7321049
Hey so
please work with an indie brand or something if Bodyline doesn't select this
I would buy this print in half a heartbeat!
Need this so bad.

>>7320986
Oh my god I need this one too

All of you designing these fucking adorable bunny prints need to work with someone to have them made
Please?

>>7321049
Oh my this is just lovely, I can easily see myself owning this! I can't even decide which colourway I like the best. Also I think the cat's eyes look much better now and kind of prefer the cat and bunny combo (more cat including prints please)

Drawfag monitoring this thread. I can't design prints to save my life but if anyone needs specific objects to use in their designs, I can draw some.

>>7321063
The main problem in this case is that the most indie brands that accept collabs have either a poor fabric quality, sell their goods at higher prices than brands or both. I was already did design some print for a Taobao indie brand but at the end it was never used due to not finding a good printing factory that isn't already flooded with work.

>>7321049
I love the bluexred!

>>7321049
>lavender and pink colorway
>bunnies
>ribbons
I'm not even a lolita and I need this. I'm a bit worried, though. Bodyline won't make it look nearly as cute.

Anon here that asked bodyline if we can send other designs aside from prints in. They finally replied.

"Yes, you can send all your designs.

Thank you."

So we can send them sock prints, coat designs, bolero designs, maybe shoes, perhaps even capes and wristcuffs.

I designed something for shits and giggles. Probably not gonna submit it though, I traced over a photo for the skull so..

>>7321182
There are some things I love about this, and some things I really hate.

> Would probably buy in another colourway/10

>>7321182
I want this.

Are jumping spiders kawaii enough for Mr Yan?

(Excuse obnoxious watermarks and awful drawing/photoshop; I mocked it up for a /cgl/ thread and posted it on Tumblr.)

>>7321182
This would be great if the roses were darker colored.

I'd really love it if they were like blood red.

But it's still amazing, anon. I wish bodyline was looking for something like this/

>>7321196
>>7321200
>>7321207
Anon who made the pic here.
Thanks guys, I mean I guess if enough people want a skull/rose themed print I could go ahead and make a proper print with more colorways and stuff.

>>7321205
Maybe if their eyes were more kawaii

>>7321220
Maybe not a deer skull, or at least not with antlers. Otherwise, its a neat idea :3

>>7321229
I personally like the deer skull exactly because of the antlers but I'd make them a bit daintier and more elegant in the proper version. Other than that I was thinking of having a bird skull and maybe a bear?
What colorways are you guys interested in?

>>7321239
I'm personally a fan of the more traditional classic colorways, though bodyline seems to prefer sweet colorways. For the life of me I can't understand why, since their classic pieces reliably look a lot better than their sweet pieces.

>>7321224
For you, anon.

>>7321251
Like mentioned before, sweet colorways are prefered by weeaboos and weeaboos love to praise Bodyline.

>>7321220
Ahhhh that would be rad!

>>7321255
> talking about weeaboos
> dat hirigana namefagging
oookay

>>7321283
You mean hiragana? The first character is kanji, not hiragana...

>>7321254
yes that is 100% more kawaii they make my heart go doki doki

>>7321283
I use this name because it is the one I always use at the internet (Pixiv, Ameba, etc) when not being anon, always calling myself 'melting bunny anon' starts to get annoying after a while.

>>7321317
So?

>>7321328
Could also post my works for コミックライブin名古屋 but that's the wrong topic for this.

>>7321182
I like this, improvements could be made (do like the suggestion of the roses being darker).

Anything that looks Vanitas inspired is a bonus to me.

At the japanese Bodyline site they announced -5% of everything (今だけ全品5%OFF!), nothing anywhere though and no single word anywhere about contests.

Ok skullprint anon here again. This is just a quick mock-up but I darkened the roses a bit and whipped up a sweeter colorway...
Thoughts?

>>7321411
The problem with this print is that the different elements don't blend in together. They are all in different drawing styles.

>>7321411
Love the darker colorway. Not sure how I feel about the orange roses, though.

I can't think of what to put on this

>>7321775
How about small vines with flowers on them, like roses? Although roses don't grow on vines... idk, find flowers that are just as pretty as roses that grow on vines. would be a lovely sweet/classic print. Very universal. You could even make a black colorway for goth lolita!

>>7321775
Previous anons mentioned kawaii sea critters which would work with that color.

>mfw I just want someone to make a seahorse & starfish beachy- print dress

I'd be absolutely broke if a lot of the prints in this thread were made, seriously. Good stuff.

>>7321778
flowers are too overdone, everyone puts freaking roses on everything.

>>7321775
maybe a valentines day print? with stuffed bears, boxed chocolates and "thinking of you" notes on stationary, and candy scattered all around.

>>7321804
Everyone puts freaking bears and chocolate on everything, too...

>>7321821
>tfw there is no creativity in sweet lolita ;-;

Grapes. Around cameos of idyllic scenes from a vineyard. Gimme a wino print.

crystal meth print. gosh.

>>7321834
Maybe if we stopped using prints, we'd start coming up with new ideas. It might even stop the obsession with them.
No more runny dresses, no more odd washing instructions, more universal clothing, more thought put into clothing structure and creativity, new fashion, no more rushing to get a replica of the latest print...

But no, we NEED a print for everything.

I also like the idea of a scientific illustration print.

>>7320012
Damn, anon. I'd buy that in a bib jsk like Lotta. Any other colorways in mind?

>>7321853
no, too bazinga.

>>7321834
There are so many posibbilities but Bodyline only picks what is popular anyways, I still want a hamster country lolita print.

>>7320012
This is the only damn print idea that actually looks like something bodyline would produce.

>>7321858
What they said.

I think you should offer this in sax, mint, lavender and maybe try and get bodyline to do a jewel tone color way, or something that kinda breaks it off from the really OTT generic stuff like Squirrel Party.

>>7321837
Didn't an anon start drawing this some time ago? I really liked what they'd done so far.

>>7321918
see
>>7318135

>This is all I could come up with.

You guys are talented. I had big ambitions of knitting needles and kittens and kawaii.

Oh well. I've been loving all of the submissions so far so I hope Bodyline picks wisely.

>>7321239
>Grey
>Wine Red
>Mint
>Sax

some more pattern ideas i guess
>outer space
>candles
>enchanted forest
>waterfalls or fountains
>hummingbirds/butterflies

>>7321993

This please!

>>7319809
>bumblebees

This I would like to see.

>>7321205
I love this
>>7321182
and I love this

>>7321993
And I guess maybe pink since bodyline wants sweet.

The mint and sax would appeal more to sweet, I figured the grey and wine would appeal to classic more, but a pink colorway wouldn't be a bad idea. But a more muted pink, like you did before. I hate that ugly bright baby girl pink they always use.

>>7318175

In other words "Finding Nemo"

BUMP

>>7322034
Yes same I love cute bumblebee stuff.

>>7322051
Why the fuck are you bumping, the thread is still very much active.

>>7319672

>>7320650
Yes, it was the eyes I was thinking make is a bit unmatching. They look a bit different sitting next to each other. I also think it might be a bit hard to convince them of the powder blue, so black might be better, but either way sounds aesthetically nice,

>>7320797
I- I love the black and red coloring! It's nice, but you may want to think of touching it up a bit. Maybe someone else could offer to do it too.

>>7320986
That's adorable.

>>7321049
OH MY GOD ANON, I LOVE THEM. I love the black and red like I thought, but I also love your lavender and pink! You're really good at this, dear, and I hope it wins, and they do it nicely. The cat does look much better now too.

>>7321142
YAAAAASSSSS

>>7321411
You should send anyways. You never know if you might just wow them (plus any chance at having this is a yes). I don't really like the orange as an accent color, though. Not to mention thinking of orange accessories in Lolita... Not incredibly common.

>So excited for this contest

>>7321142
Now that they are accepting all designs, is anyone thinking we should send in designs with the prints we make? Or even non-printed things? I would kill for some Old School, non-print type items.

>>7322013
All my money for a haunted/floating candle print with purple and blue flames.
>>7322034
Fluffy bumblebees also supporting this motion.

pls stop with these roses. they look tacky.

>>7322103

>>7322112
>>7322112
yes

>>7322107
give them advice on how to fix it, silly.

i think they could look better, but i also like them for what they are right now.

>>7322056
I can only provide bees.

>>7322147
>>7322142

But really, I want a honeycomb skirt.

>>7322214
I love that!

>>7322214
I prefer this one to the pink!

Can somebody do a wedding theme print and make the bride and groom look vaguely like Mr Yan himself in his glorious wizard hat, and Venus Angelic?

Bumblebee anons?

I'm not really that great at drawing, but if anyone likes the idea and wants to run with it, please feel free.

Aw shit, now I'm depressed. Started working on another print>>7321049, and then I accidentally managed to save over a smaller version...

I think I might be able to save it, but it won't be as good as it was... Well, here it was before I stupidly ruined it.

>>7322354
This is stunning! Did you draw the images yourself?

>>7322214
if i can suggest, maybe add some shadows underneath all the things you are layering so that it looks something other than a mishmash of pink goo

>>7322357
No, unfortunately I can't draw. I used various free stock pictures and put them together, but it was a pain to find pictures with similar style.

>>7322354
super pretty!

>>7321049
So goddamn cute.

>>7322214
I would buy this.

>>7322214
Oh oh I love this.

just a sketch of what I think might look cute? I don't know if it would actually work as a print but bunnies have a teaparty sounded cute in my head.

>>7321969
add knitting needles and kittens ^-^

Man I am so excited at the idea of buying one of these prints. They're all so freaking cute and awesome. When exactly would the winner be announced, and available to buy?

>>7322313
add >>7322142 and >>7322147

>>7322354
yes please.

>>7322416
Anon, I really love the bunny in the far right corner of that picture. The bunny next to her is also passable. But the two on the left need some work!!

I think a tea party print with bunnies would be friggin adorable! I look forward to the progress you post.

wow you girls are so talented!!
The designs and the concepts that have come up in this thread are so great!

I decided to take a swing at a mushroom border print. Went with the theme of a 'fairy circle'. Hardly any progress but hopefully i'll have the lines done by tonight. I'm really stuck on what cut of dress it would suit and the color scheme, but i guess i'll have a better idea later

>>7322475
Anon, this is amazing. I really hope you can get it finished in time for the contest, because it's beautiful.

>>7322465
We already have the squirrel one though.

>>7322416
>>7322465
I think it's the forehead to face ratio. The last two bunnies have kawaii big foreheads, it makes them look more anime. the first two's eyes are two high up.
Make their heads boxy like the last two

>>7322475
Woahwoahwoah this is magical

>>7322475
I think you should go with pinks and greens. Yan's going for sweet prints, but you played up the fairy pinks in this, I can definitely see it going in
You can have a second colorway with dark greens a purples for a more gothic look, but be sure to have both or just the pink
ps I would wear the shit out of this

Good luck

>>7322480
And? Fuck you, whiny bitch.

>>7322482
You may have a point. Good job figuring it out

>>7322465
that was the only one i spent a little bit of time on so I knew how i wanted the rest to look. The other i just drew really quickly so i knew around what i wanted them to be doing/their position.
>>7322480
yeah but, bunnies dude.
>>7322482
I think you're right thanks for the pointer mate.
>>7322475
Although this is super amazing havn't people said bodyline's printers can't handle really detailed things?

>>7322475
Go with colourways that make you think "fairy", like light pink, blue, lavender, and maybe an off-white. I think it'd look nice if you were able to incorporate a chiffon or something into the design (like maybe like the bustle on DDC? That way you can convince Yan that it will sell).

>>7319809
>>7322034
>>7322313

Thankyou for the kind and helpful feedback on my sketch. Even though this print was meant to be more classical you girls have convinced me for it will be a smart move to bend it towards sweet lolita.

Whenever I get stuck or have significant progress I'll make sure to show you :)

>>7322495
The idea of a gothic and a sweet colorway is such a good idea!
>>7322550
Those sound like lovely colors, I'll definately have a try. Chiffon sounds like a nice idea too. However, I don't know what a DDC is sorry S:

I want a cute little ladybug dress.

Maybe with a big bow on the back that would look vaguely like wings.

>>7322595
It would have to have a few big polka dots on it instead of a lot of small ones, too. Maybe an underbust JSK, then you could wear a black blouse under it and hnnnnngh

>>7321762
It's because it's not finished, it's just a mock-up. I'll re-draw everything so don't worry.
>>7321766
I should ditch the orange then? I can do that.
>>7322087
I think you guys got me excited enough to try and send in the design once I complete it, haha. I'm not even a loli but it'd be pretty cool to see lolis wearing a print I designed...

>>7322112
Yes. Hell yea.

>>7322550
>>7322569
DDC stands for Day Dream Carnival, an Angelic Pretty print that came out last spring. The specific version anon is talking about is the tiered jsk, pic related

I'd hesitate to add in too many structural details, since these dresses are intended to be made cheaply and it risks the details either being poorly done or rejecting your idea because of it

If you're really thrilled by details, have one mockup that detailed and then a second that's more simple, in case the first doesn't fly

It's a difficult talent to design, especially the bodice, in a way that is simple, classic, but not too plain. And not easy to fuck up. Don't forget the back, either.

I don't know if you're planning on designing the dress the print would go on, though, or if you'll leave that to BL
On that note: Requesting construction mockups! People are posting prints (which I love and please don't stop) but how do you imagine your guys' prints on a dress?

>>7322663
wow that dress is divine... I see what you mean by the chiffon now. I think I'll try to design a mockup of the dress. The option of a complex design and a simple design will probably appeal to bodyline too. Thankyou for being so helpful :)

>>7322513
No need to be a bitch.

>>7322687
Yeah, everyone was creaming their panties when DDC was announced
Of course! I fuckin love fairies and your design is fantastic. I want to help any way I can to help your chances.


I gathered together some Angelic Pretty bodice inspiration here (I was going to do Baby and Innocent World too, but I ran out of space). I got all pictures and info from Lolibrary.com. I hope jpegging my picture doesn't kill the quality.

I'd suggest to forgo lace wherever you can (bodyline's lace is terrible) and instead choose ruffles ruffles ruffles

With simple JSK straps, which are easy to create and hard to mess up, they can be spruced up a bit by putting ruffles on the outside edges, like in this Rabbit Party jsk. It would kind of look like little wings too.
It'd also look okay if bodyline scaled the ruffles up or down. If ruffles are on both sides of the straps, if they're too big it looks ridiculous

I'm personally a huge fan of the kind of bodice in the Country of Sweets JSK. Single ruffles down the front and covered buttons. I think it looks simple, cute, and adds uncomplicated interest. The collared Fancy Paper Dolls has this too, though smaller. I like it big, though smaller is more mature and classic. I think Sweet Waffle's is too subtle for such an OTT dress (though it could be seen as trying to balance it down), and I've included it as an example of small and close together buttons.

In Sugary Carnival, the bodice is very very simple, but where it gets it's charm is that a strip of the hem's print is stitched up there. You might think about trying something like this, or designing something specifically for the bodice.

The bib style of Cinema Doll and Rabbit Party is another way to simply add interest. I like how it visually follows the line of the straps, making a big U along the shoulders. The tiered Fancy Paper Dolls also has this visual, though not filled in.

I'll talk about straps in my next post. Unless someone tells me to shut the hell up, hah

>>7322680
What if, instead of a straight vertal line, those dots on the striple were pearls falling into the water?

>>7321049
holy shit PLEASE i hope this happens
it is cute as all fuck but works for classic too <3

>>7322878
The Sweet Waffle, Fancy Paper Dolls, and tiered Sugar Fairy Cake JSKs all have their straps built into the actual construction of the bodice. Sweet Waffle and Sugar Fairy Cake have high backs, so they're hardly 'straps', tiered FPD comes down to shirring like most jsks, and the collared FPD has a halter.
Every other dress has the straps sewn onto the bodice. I'd suggest this, since it is easier to construct, wouldn't cause any confusion with sizing, makes it easier to have shirring, and it's easier for the consumer to rip out and shorten the straps.
The problem with straps that are seperate from the bodice is that they're very simple. Sometimes too simple. Some view them as too 'easy' (because they are). Ruffles on the outside edges, like I suggested earlier, would help with this (featured in Melty Cream Donut, Rabbit Party, and in a way the tiered Fancy Paper Dolls). Bows help too, like in Sugary Carnival and Country of Sweets.
How thick they should be is important too. Sweet Waffle and Sugary Carnival both have rather thick straps, Melty Cream Donut's is quite thin.

Final note: I think everyone should include two detachable bows, one big and one medium. Because then you can put the medium one on your waist or on the bodice and have the big one in your hair. Or have big bow at your waist and medium at bodice and go all bow town
Pls I love not having to find a different brand's headbow that still matches in shade.
Maybe you could put the big one on your back if you lose the waist ties

More bows

I heard an anon wanted a bubble print, so I started this. if anyone wants to improve it, feel free.

>>7322633
Please do! And thank you for doing it because it looks really nice.

>>7322646
Oh my god.

>>7322878
>>7322963
This is good information!

I definitely think everyone should get into some construction designing since Yan gave the okay for it.

>>7323147
I don't know how to into print but yeah. Bubbles might be cool in a sparkly sc reenprint.

>>7322475
Skirt idea

>>7322646
Oh damn. If she made these to sell I would buy in an instant.

>>7322878
wow!! thanks for making this great resource!! O.O It's a really big help!
>>7323200
Ah! that is really cute bustle or overskirt!! If you don't mind I'll try to incorperate that into the final design.

I've finished the lines for my mushroom print. I need to go over them and clean up/ fix up/ even some areas out. I'm pretty happy with how it is turning out but my hand hurts so much from drawing hahaha

>>7322214
I love the Afro star nail polish.

>>7323356
This is beautiful!
I'm getting all nostalgic here as well because it reminds me of the fairy stories that my Mum and Grandma use to tell me as a child.

Do you have a tumblr or some sort of blog where you post your work?
If so I'd love to check it out.

>>7323385
A kind of fairytale look was what i was trying to go for :) So i'm glad it reminded you of happy memories.

http://onehappymeal.tumblr.com/tagged/my+art
You'll notice that I don't really draw stuff like this often so doing this is pretty refreshing and really fun :)
