okay joining the bandwagon, i got a little collection of jojo ocs and so far i've been doing pretty good design-wise. However, I've been struggling to conceptualize a few of them. Most notably, my SBR cowboy maiden. Love her tons just... can't get a design/not sure where to start. I can say, however, she is being based around the song Gira Gira by ADO and specifically it's lyrics/aesthetic if that helps any i just dont know how to get it all to work together lol

so after listening to the song the major thing that i'm thinking of is that she wears a literal mask of some kind-- either a masquerade-type mask that covers the top half of her face or a full-face mask. i think the half-mask would make her seem more mysterious, while a full face mask would be more creepy; masquerade masks have an air of glamour, while a full mask is unsettling because you can't read the emotions of the person underneath at all. so, you'd have to ask yourself if you want the character to be fairly down-to-earth or more eerie.

i think she should also have some sort of big, wide-brim hat-- either a cowboy hat (duh) or some kind of big sun hat-- or maybe a hood. for the rest of her clothes, it might just be the image in the YT video influencing me, but i think of something a bit flowy and lacy. i'd say either make her top OR her skirt/pants loose and ethereal, and then make the other piece a bit tighter, more colorful, more JoJo-ish, if that makes sense. like, a lace blouse with wide sleeves paired with leather pants, or a long tiered skirt paired with a patterned halter top a la Jolyne.

Photos under the cut!

here's some stuff that i could picture fitting well with the concept you gave:

Kentucky Derby hat / Andre' Lucat SS18 / Betsey Johnson SS94 / Bora Aksu SS22 / KNWLS FW22 / Anastasia Pilepchuk / Orville Peck

(sidenote: whoever at tumblr decided to make it so fucking hard to format photos on desktop/literally not possible to format photos in asks, i hope someone pours milk in your underwear drawer)

#i really hope these posts aren't too late to be relevant/helpful #i felt so bad when i didn't answer all of them #ask #anon #request
