The Onyx Ball: Jessie Desmond's Portfolio

Fashion Design:

Annie -

I call this one 'Annie' because I designed it for a grown-up, futuristic "Annie" musical. For the blue overalls, I'd use a thick rayon. The mid-length bodysuit would be made out of heavy hologram spandex.
Chinese Tree -
This one is my 'Chinese Tree' because of its Mandarin-style top. If you notice, in the hair are thick twigs, the shirt has gold leaves on it, and the pants are brown. The wood would be debarked and stained a carmel brown. The Mandarin tunic would be a light silk and the pants and under shirt would be a heavier silk. The shoes would be the classic Chinese laundry shoes.
Damsel Dress -
The 'Damsel Dress' is styled after a knit lingerie design from 1949/50. The dress as a whole would be made out of lisse crepe fabric. The gloves would be stretch black with colored feathers at the top that match the dress.
Gothic Running Suit -
This running suit is designed after many other running suits and the collar of Dracula. The lining would be of satin. The lighter of panne velvet, boardered with piping, and the darker panel would be velour.
Vamped '20s -
This dress is a sexier version of the 1920's evening dresses with some classic horro movie overtones. The underdress would be made of black satin, falling mid-calf. The dress shell would be made of a chiffon crepe. The double belt would be of satin and chiffon crepe.
Vines and Roses -
This outfit is simular to the 'Chinese Tree' in that it is abstract in design. The sweater would be a heavy cotton knit with an extra wide collar and faux roses on the shoulders. The pants would be made of merino wool with the green vines embroidered on. Matching green patent leather oxfords complete this.


People:

Armor 1 -

This is Miranda, my first warrior woman.
Armor 2 -
This is Tara, my second warrior woman.
Doctor -
This is Doc. I based him off of Doc Holliday, the difference being hair color. Done with colored pencil.
Null -
This is just a drawing I did of a person wearing a shirt that says 'NULL', meaning nothing.
Sean -
This is a sketch I did of Sean Brennan from London After Midnight. I used neon colors to identify his blonde hair and off-beat greens to symbolize his growth.
Tamlyn -
This is a sketch of Tamlyn, the keyboardist of London After Midnight. The blue and green in the background symbolize his mysterious air that he keeps about himself.
Tiger -
This is just a spontaneous drawing I did of a girl wearing a shirt that says 'Tiger'.


Drawings:

Castle -

This is a contour line drawing of a rock formation that looks like a castle.
Conformity -
This is my picture of conformity among everyone; women, men and childern. 'Keep smiling and look into the crystal ball, so your future can be warped.'

Envy -
This is just something that I drew for reasons unknown to myself. It's just a picture of yellow not liking green so much.
Owl -
I based this drawing off of the movie 'Labyrinth'. As the background shows, there is a labyrinth with Jareth, the owl, as the main focus
.
Purple Head -
This drawing is of a purple person seeing colorful strands before them, while in the back, the viewer can only see the black strands. It's a far reach of being an individual.
