I've done a costume switch with my Leona and Lily. I need to take a photos of my five JID girls together, and Leona - who is my only contemporarily dressed young woman - just won't fit in with the other four fantasy girls. And I needed to strip Lily anyways, since she's going to be my next costume model. She's going to be the model for a traditional native costume, and since it's too cold to be standing around naked between fittings, I put Leona's clothes on her. And to help her get into the role of modelling a traditional native-inspired dress, she also switched to long brown hair. I think they both look beautiful in their new personas... I had been wondering how to make the five JID girls work in photos together. They are all in Fantasy costumes, but in totally different styles, and from completely different periods. So I thought 'Masquerade Party'. Then it doesn't matter what they are wearing, just as long as they are all dressed up. So now I need to make some masks in order to tie everyone together. Asa, as Queen of the Night, already has a mask. So now I need to make four more. I'm going to make simple masks - not like Asa's elaborate Apoxy mask - but masks out of covered cardboard like the ones in my Mask Tutorial, but in a smaller size.

I found Lily looks completely different as a contemporary girl.

Lily looks totally different with the dark wig. I didn't recognize her at first, but i love her in the casual dress too.
