Xara modelling Sea Candy
Xara (managed by Dragonaur), is a gorgeous River Dragoness and while we're not sure whether or not she really likes sea water, we thought she'd look dazzling in a wet-look mini-dress (with salt-drop watercolor patterns) - what do you think?
We call this design Sea Candy, in a homage to one of our favorite treats - Salt Water Taffy (note: Xara bundled up her wings for this photo-shoot). For a larger image please visit Godstrain Extras

Oh wow! That of course, is one of the wonderful things about working with physical media, you can get all sorts if very interesting patterns! Xara's wings tuck away pretty neatly, just a couple of bumps on her shoulders, and even then I always forget to draw those! And she loves the ocean. She's already had a mini sea side adventure in "Dragonaur Mini". All in all a good choice of dress. Thanks for drawing this!

@Dragonaur: Glad you like it - Xara is a pleasure to draw (I bet it would be cool to have a tail like that ;)). Your comic is one of those intimidating things with a backlog going back to before Jesus! I've flipped through it and have been impressed by it, but the whole thing - haha not yet…! So I didn't see the Sea Part you speak of… I'm currently working my way through Grin-n-Spirit (a 1200+ pg Behemoth), and when I'm done I'll probably tackle yours :)

My comic rambles quite a bit. Been working on it 15+ years. I consider it more drama than adventure, and it's more about conveying a emotion than story. But in the last two years or so, I've been working to tie up some loose ends and effectively bring it to an end.
The seaside jaunt is in my other little side comic… https://next.theduckwebcomics.com/Dragonaur_Mini/5449191/ There's the first page of it.
PlyMayer was asking about how furries sit with a tail. Xara tucks her tail to the side. In Macoatl land the chairs don't have back so it's not a problem… http://dragonaur.deviantart.com/art/Dinner-at-Macoatl-en-Espanol-443090965

How in the world you come up with all those fantastic designs, Vino…?!!!!

Posted at 7:03AM, Mar. 24, 2015

@KimLuster - Thanks, I've been designing fashions my whole life (as you will see). This is from a fashion comic I produced on the Duck back in 2005 or 2006. Check it out on the Duck. It's called DIVA PETZ! Btw that green cocktail dress you just did was so cool! I loved it!

I especially love Chicki Baybi's gown. But then again, that's no surprise, because I am a sucker for arm ruffles.

Posted at 7:03PM, Mar. 24, 2015

Really digging these dresses, especially the design in the middle :D!

FINALLY got a chance to finish this up! I've been so darn caught up so far this week, i've been dying to complete these designs! Mother and son finally take the runway together. I knew from the beginning of the fashion show that I wanted to give these two a design together, not sure why but i'd say it worked out better than I thought! :D Wonder what Orlaith had to do to talk her son in to doing this with her, haha xD!

Here is kawaiidaigakusei's Leona modeling a cross between KimLuster's "Sea Candy" cocktail dress and Peipei's "Rose Shower". (Crosses fingers and hope it shows…)

@Ozone: Thanks! :D

@Nitemare2004: Hahaha yup, I couldn't resist pairing these two up for a double design. :3

@KimLuster: Thank you :3. It's fun making these detailed designs, even though I barely have the time these days. xD

No genius, just tenacious. Just remember, your eraser is your best friend. >_< But I must admit, she looks the happiest and bubbliest of any model I've drawn so far. Had to make her glow.
@kimluster: Complex? Peipei & VinoMas are the trend setters there! I bow to their designs. ^_^

Awwww thanks Dragonaur, that's a really nice thing to say :D. Blame it on my love for old school RPGs, fantasy novels and my cosplay loving ways I guess! xD Seriously though, i'm really happy you were able to draw inspiration from my work :3!

Posted at 11:03PM, Mar. 25, 2015

Due to my computer issues, I will have to upload my fashions onto a comic. Otherwise I'll never get to put anything up. I'll be uploading them under the comic Closet Luccia. https://next.theduckwebcomics.com/Closet_Luccia/
I have more in the making for this month and will be busting my tail to get them finished!

Posted at 4:03AM, Mar. 26, 2015

Luccia that's so beautiful!! The next one I do I'm gonna try hard to approach some of these complexe inspirational designs!!

Posted at 6:03AM, Mar. 26, 2015

@Luccia: The outfit is gorgeous, but the whole painting is a beautiful art piece too. I would totally wear that to Burning Man.

Posted at 2:03PM, Mar. 26, 2015

I put up three more Flock Gems: https://next.theduckwebcomics.com/Closet_Luccia/
Xara the peacock
Orn the swallow
Khthonis the owl
They're in sitting positions because I drew them too big, so they look more like pinup photos rather than fashion photos. But that's okay! Thank you for offering your characters as models.

Posted at 3:03PM, Mar. 26, 2015

@KimLuster: Thanks! I had trouble figuring out what I wanted to dress characters in. After I drew this one I decided to theme my March fashions after birds. That made it easier.
@fallopiancrusader:Thanks! I've been doing a bit of art journaling, which helped get this background. And that would be awesome! You'd have to take pictures if you did.
