Our goal is to give fashion lovers a place to display and receive feedback on their designs. And as theOtaku is largely a young community of artists who are still developing their skills, we also provide outfits that can be used by those who have trouble designing outfits via adoptable designs and even free-to-use designs.

These titles are always so lame. ANYWAY, here's a dress I drew instead of studying for finals. orz
I feel like I've done several attempts at this dress on separate instances before I finally got it to look right just now. ;-;7 I wasn't sure about the color palette at first b/c I thought the dark blue would be too close to Lafayette's hair color, but it came out okay in the end I think. -u-/
ANYWAY......... I really should be doing work. LATERZ!
I'm doing OC outfit asks on tumblr, and I got THREE whole asks YEAH!!!
Here's the first one I did. lightningclawedsky-official on tumblr asked for Lafayette in a crop top (and booty shorts).
This was actually kinda hard for me b/c Laf doesn't really wear booty shorts... or crop tops, really...? Idk he wears above-the-knee skirts and stuff but booty shorts aren't really his style. And for shirts, he generally doesn't like having his whole arm showing (mainly his upper arms). This was still fun to do though, haha. I even colored the one on the left:
I used a color palette generated from this website. ;o
AND YEP, there's that. YEAH, CLOTHES!
LATE NITE POSTING. Here's an outfit for Dmitri and an outfit for Lafayette in the 1920's AU.
Drawing Dmitri for this AU is super weird b/c his hair is usually so BAM but now it's like. not.
Anyway, I feel like menswear isn't all that different from modern suits and stuff. Ties could be a little shorter than what's the usual style now, I think, and suspenders were thicker maybe?? Idk. I think knickers are period-correct, too... That's what I drew Dmitri in here. Idk I personally like how knickers look so I'm probably gonna draw them pretty often for this AU even if they're not period correct, haha. :^D;;;;
This isn't really a great pic of this outfit, but w/e. Lafayette's glasses are so round in this AU... they also get in the way of his eyes. :I
I don't usually make characters that smoke for aesthetic because idk.... drugs r scaree... but since this is the 1920s and a lot of people smoked, Laf smokes in this AU. SCANDALOUS........... (???)
Anyway I should sleep.
In case you haven't noticed, I love drawing outfits for Lafayette.
ANYWAY, I haven't really mentioned it here, but I've been working on a 1920's AU with Lafayette and Dmitri for fun. You can read a brief thing about it here, but I'll make a long and detailed post to Various Planning soon enough. >:Y Basically all you need to know rn is that Lafayette and Dmitri are in college and Lafayette works at a nightclub as a female singer.
Anyway, here's some clothes that Laf wears in this AU:
The left is something Laf would wear while performing at the club, and the right is a more casual outfit.
I've been having a lot of trouble getting the hang of drawing the 1920's silhouette because I'm so used to feminine clothing being form-fitting and accentuating the chest, haha;; The low waistline also throws me off. EVERYTHING FEELS SO FRUMPY WHEN I'M DRAWING IT... but then when it's done it looks normal. It's been fun for me to try to draw period-accurate (or at least period-similar;;;) outfits, >:Y
YO haven't posted here in a while. I'm also posting at a weird time (almost 1 AM), but whatever. I feel like I should post something here for once;;; Anyway here's some clothes I drew on Lafayette.
Idk what's going on with this outfit, I just wanted to draw a corset and a pannier. I like how spidery (?) panniers can look. :^Y I might try to clean this up and color it a bit later just so the outfit makes a bit more sense, haha. I also wanna redo the shorts... they were such an afterthought. SHORTS W/ FRILLS ON THE BOTTOM WHATEVZ.
This was for an ask meme on tumblr, so you'll probably see this pic in my Various Planning world at some point, too. The question was "If your chara lived in a different decade, how would they dress?". So I drew Laf in a gakuran uniform like I always do.......................... and also a 1920's (?) style dress + a slightly different hairstyle. I'll blab more about this weird AU that somehow got created some other time, haha.
SORRY FOR THE LACK OF COLOR... idk what I'm doing when I color things anyway, so whatever. :^D THANKS FOR VIEWING!
