ilt’s been a while i came here, I read the mirroir visitor from C.Dabos, it’s amazing , it’s a french fantasy story (you can read those in english . It s a mix i think between miyazaki s movies , a pride and prejudice relationship steampunk , court skeaming, magic , and so much more. very sketchy
she’s a Francois Gaultier fashion lady, probably from the 1880s if her princess petticoat is original (the arm holes look like a style from that era to me, and the combination chemise-petticoat first became a thing around 1877). she has a dress; I just feel like it’s massively tacky. it may be made of antique materials, but it’s this odd mustard yellow with pink trim
her body has some serious damage to the hands and the arms; the fingers are splitting along the seams and, in an attempt to tourniquet off the leaking sawdust, someone tied thread tightly around her wrists. so now her hands are all floppy on loose wrists devoid of stuffing. because someone couldn’t bother to just stabilize the splits
she also has a lot of cracks on her head, possibly from being dropped at some point, but they’ve been repaired
I couldn’t resist that sweet face, so here she is! ready for new hair and clothes and a new life
Christelle Dabos’s “The Mirror Visitor” series is one of the best things in my life right now, so I made a quick picture of my favourite characters to celebrate Halloween
