« a r t Altistic


Not entirely as done as I wanted it to be by Halloween - I got distracted by doing some costume commissions in the couple of weeks before Halloween, so as a result, this version of Thesenis has no funny things in the hair, no floaty fabric around the hands, and a Giant Purple Ribbon o' Doom that slips down frequently.


"Giant Purple Ribbon o' Doom" being, of course, the official name for this creature. Obviously, no one manufactures 5-inch wide purple ribbon with orange symbols painted down the entire length that floats in the air, so I had to make it myself from a yard and a half of fabric cut and stitched together end to end. All together, there's 18 feet of this, the longest piece of which is 13.5 feet. Thirteen and a half feet of fabric that had to be hemmed down both sides, painted with intricate symbols, and imbued with the wire from some old coat hangers. (Okay, so really it was more like 6 feet of wire all together, but still.) This is why it's official name is now "Giant Purple Ribbon o' Doom".
