The Dawn Project

Commissioned by my friend Grace, I made this corset based on an original piece of art from Joseph Michael Linsner's 'Dawn'!

I met Grace at Ravenwood Castle in 2005, where she became a fan of my work! 

 

Here are some examples of Dawn. You can find her among your favorite graphic novels!

Grace was planning on attending DragonCon 2006, where they were having a Dawn Look-alike contest! She sent me a piece of art, and the project was on! She met me at Ravenwood Castle this year (2006) where I took templates directly from her form. She also tried her look in some of my Amazon wear!

I came up with a prototype to see how it would look. Knowing that I would be making design changes after put it together, I stained it brown, and it toured with me through the summer. Here are some photos of it on different people:

After making some final modifications to the pattern and determining the proper color, I came up with the piece, and it's matching collar. The talented Grace made the rest of the outfit herself; the dress, the forearm sleeves, and the ring of roses! Here are photos of the original sketch, the finished photo, and Grace herself!

 

 

And now, the finished product, and two shots from DragonCon 2006!

A small Tale of my pirate personae " Black Roger" and his wife " Moiselle" appears in the Rogue Blades first novel, and again in the third!

A long time friend of Dave the Knave, Black Roger and Moiselle assist Dave with an encounter against the treacherous Captain Stackpoole.

How does it all turn out?

PROTESTERS take notice: Boycotting leather goods will not affect the production of raw leather!

No animals were hurt or killed for the creation of these products; most leather is a by-product of the ginormous meat industry!

If my colleagues and I didn't make stuff out of it, that leather would just get thrown away and wasted.
