Goth Couture

 She's like... totes cool 

I drew this a while ago and decided to finally edit it cause it looks so freaking cool,this really looks like those old emblems from fashion brands of the time. like Juicy Couture,Von Dutch and Ed Hardy. Juicy uses old royal looking flares and Ed Hardy has that trad tattoo look which I really like.

 

I used a time accurate scene girl ref and it's somewhat refreshing and different compared to what "goth" looks like now. Like how flat her makeup looks, I don't think heavy highlight and contour was the thing at the time. Mostly just base foundation,brows, and Eye Shadow and Eye liner. this is insanely different compared to a more modern goth look which requires alot of layers I don't think I care to list.

 

I could also talk abt how that style is an effect of the serialization of alternative culture, this heavy and layered style of male gaze makeup has just kinda covered up the genuine and historic culture of scene, goth and emo.

soo uhhh yeah I do feel guilt for partaking in that. so my alt girls from this point on will genuinely be weird, violent and femgaze.    c
