Editing Episode 2

Okay, boys and girls, it's Photoshop time again! That's right, I've taken the losing outfit (Marion's) from Episode 2 and the two all-black capri+top outfits that I think needed some colour, and made some changes to them with my favorite editing tool. As with last time, the editing's a bit rough, but I think you'll get the idea.

First off, Marion's design:



While it does look better in less drab colours and with less knitty-looking fabric, unfortunately I think it still would've been in the bottom. The shape of the top is just... off. I think I see what he was trying to do and it was an interesting idea, but I think actually it would've worked far better paired with leggings or tights and done as a dress (with it extending a bit lower, obviously).

Kit's design (I think I got the shape of the top right, it was hard to see the line between top and pants):



I took the colour from the bracelet; I can't imagine it'd cost any more; brown is still an inexpensive colour. Incidentally, I also took a look at it in blue and that worked, too. And it definitely looks better to me than the all-black version.

Rami's design:



I took the colour from the bag, and it goes really well with the necklace as well (the headband has also been tinted slightly). Again, I can't imagine it'd cost any more, though I also took a look at how it'd look in green (also nice), and again, with a bit more contrast, I think this works better.

So, I stand by my statement: I wish both Kit and Rami (or their partners) had decided to not go monotone, and I wonder what would've happened if they hadn't. I suspect that Kit's would've been considered too simple, alas (which is a shame as I rather like it in part because it is simple, and fits the aesthetic of the Bitten line IMO), but maybe Rami would've gotten more attention. Not that he needs it. :)
