People, let me tell you 'bout my fashion sense!
FossilTattoo
Gonna be making a lot more clothes really soon/in the upcoming year. Can't wait.
FossilTattoo
In addition to formal wear/dresswear/evening-out-on-the-town wear, I wanna make some semicasual stuff too. It won't all be vests and blazers and tuxes.
FossilTattoo
(But there will be a lot of that.)
FossilTattoo
Some of my influences are as follows:

its amazing

(these right here are some Japanese jeans on eBay that I simultaneously covet, and plan to simply reproduce for myself)
FossilTattoo
A dash of Klaus Nomi...
FossilTattoo
Some timeless class... a bit beauty...
FossilTattoo
...and a bit beast.
FossilTattoo

I dunno who this guy is but I like where his head is at.
FossilTattoo
I wanna promote the concept that cool clothes don't have to be limited to videogame excursion escapes and cosplay.
FossilTattoo
All about the waistcoats/vests too.
FossilTattoo
Dichotomy is what I aim for. I LOVE dichotomy, disunion, the juxtaposition of two opposite things. Class + Chaos, Refinement + Savagery.
FossilTattoo
It's what I love so much about "Lord Of The Flies". How thin the line is between civilized humanity and animal primality. To take that line and dance on it is the modus operandi of the clothes I wanna make.
FossilTattoo

I want there to be an almost-fetishistic "restrained" air in it all. Like, barely-held-back, crazy from the hunger, but still utterly charming and dignified.
FossilTattoo
Now I don't plan on making this stuff for mass production, mind you. I want to make it primarily for myself.
FossilTattoo
Some will be royal, regal, almost paramilitary. Oh, and almost forgot;
FossilTattoo
Subtle touches of animal in there, blended the right way; not splashed everywhere like a sleazy car salesman. Tastefully done. Mostly reptilian.
FossilTattoo
I've got some patterns in my possession, and all's I need's material right now...
FossilTattoo
Already used this pattern to make
FossilTattoo
Still haven't cracked this one open yet, not sure if I will, or maybe I'll mod it some... or maybe I'll just use the vest therein:
FossilTattoo
Used to make
; scaly tux pants with a utilitarian cargo pocket. Tailcoat to come.
FossilTattoo
Just got this for Xmas, because fuck yeah Morpheus coat! Probably eventually going to make at least two variations. One basic, and one modded to better suit me.
FossilTattoo
I am holding onto several dress patterns I'll be mixing and matching for stuff for rockstarsunglasses in time.

...can I dress like you

can you teach me the way you dress

I want to follow this art
FossilTattoo
It's called "take shit you like from places where it happens, and roll it up into your own, and don't be afraid to go against the status quo, because people like us make the status quo change."
FossilTattoo
The Super Mario movie, for example. Shameless guilty pleasure of mine because of the FASHION of it. Sadly, not a good movie. LOVE the costume design.
FossilTattoo
This is where I got the idea "scales can work for more than car salesmen, when done right.". Nowhere else had I seen a scaled necktie. So I made one for myself.
FossilTattoo
Women get all the fun, expressive clothes. The colors, the patterns, the textures, the expressiveness. When I go shopping for suits, the mens' section is so drab. Black, navy, brown, grey.
Gengangster ☆
It is =A=
Gengangster ☆
I need to make stuff. I have a sewing machine, but I'm admittedly scared to use it most of the time.
FossilTattoo
Why?
Gengangster ☆
...noise, and fuckin' things up. But mostly I'm just too distracted to get anything done with it, cos I have made things before
FossilTattoo
Noise, you can wear headphones, or just blast music louder! That's easily remedied.
FossilTattoo
Fuckin' things up? Embrace that, and learn from it!
FossilTattoo
And making things before? Do tell!
Gengangster ☆
I meant disturbing my neighbours. Our walls are kind of thin bUT MAYBE THEY DESERVE IT FOR HAVING THE TV ON ALL DAY
FossilTattoo
Hahaha
Gengangster ☆
And I've made stuff for cosplay. Mostly i'm better at making dolls/plush toys, but I've made a cape and I think part of a suit jacket
FossilTattoo
Yeah, dude, I say continue.
Gengangster ☆
I haven't done it in AAAGES but I should... make an attempt...
FossilTattoo
I made myself a male corset-suspender-buckle spine-thing. This was the 3rd thing I ever made.
Gengangster ☆
THAT LOOKS COMPLEX
FossilTattoo
see?
Gengangster ☆
that is HELLA COOL THO
FossilTattoo
All the straps hang down, kind of straightjackety/bondagey, and it can be worn under a blazer.
FossilTattoo
In a perfect world, I'd attend local fancy dress parties and socials.
FossilTattoo
Avant garde progressive ones. XD
Gengangster ☆
I'd love to be able to dress for those but generally I have no idea.......
FossilTattoo
Idea about what?
Gengangster ☆
LIKE, about what to d-- i was going to say draw
Gengangster ☆
about what to wear or use
FossilTattoo
Tell you what. You just draw up some stuff you want to have, and I can assist you. Draw it like a fashion designer, draw it like a manga artist, doesn't matter.
Gengangster ☆
Heh! I can do fashion design, I've... done some before
Gengangster ☆
we'll see what we can come up with
FossilTattoo
I never took a class on it. I just like cool clothes. There's some that're great from the past, and some that're great that haven't happened yet.
Gengangster ☆
that's super cool, though
FossilTattoo
Post-apocalyptic, neo-victorian, bdsm cretaceous fashion.
FossilTattoo
PrehistoPunk.
Gengangster ☆
perfect
FossilTattoo
Do you run away, or get closer? That's what I want it to convey.
Gengangster ☆
I like 60s and Victorian fashion too much. Which is weird, cos they ain't very similar.
Gengangster ☆
but 60s fashion was so COLORFUL..
FossilTattoo
Yeah, really.
FossilTattoo
I like Victorian and Edwardian, but the thing is, men's fashion has not changed much in those realms. At least not for classy clothes. It's always suits and tuxes.
FossilTattoo
So, stuff like this, where the introduction of patterns and textures happens, needs to be a thing.
FossilTattoo
And those textures need to be like peacocks, where the MALE is flashier as well, to attract.
FossilTattoo
I feel bad for girls sometimes, when they step out of a limo, and all they have is a sea of these guys all in dark, drab suits or tuxes. It's like a fucking uniform.
FossilTattoo
Why can't WE be more expressive? Do we not have creativity?
Gengangster ☆
WELL CONSIDERING A LOT OF DESIGNERS FOR WOMEN ARE MALE...
FossilTattoo
I wanna design stuff for women too, believe me. But I wanna make stuff for ME. I'm not trying to make a clothing line.
FossilTattoo
I wanna make stuff I want, because I can't get it anywhere else. If someone wants what I make, I'll abide.
Gengangster ☆
right? haha
FossilTattoo
What kind of stuff would you wanna rock, dude?
Gengangster ☆
if no one else can do it right, might as well do it yourself
FossilTattoo
These right here: Perfect dancing shoes. Got 'em on my Amazon wishlist.
FossilTattoo
It's that classic wingtip, with modern platform.
Gengangster ☆
thse are the kid I need since I"m so short
EvilBrit
Now I know why you want to team up with me on the prop making lol
FossilTattoo
I enjoy collaborative efforts in building/construction/design!
