I will throw in my vote for a Firefly set or just an Inara set. I think out of all the movies and shows I have seen Inara and Echo are the only two characters whose entire (almost) wardrobe I would want. In Inara’s case I just want her entire shuttle.

[...] several days ago Liana of Liana’s Paper Doll Blog did this beautiful Inara dress and I commented as to how I liked Inara’s costumes, wasn’t sure how they would read in [...]

In fact, it is’nt always that bad with my scanner and most of my costumes is done justice in it (two good samples of that is the Sami costume and the recent Queen of hearts-dress on my blog – I hope you have seen them both. I agree, I don’t know anything wich can make me more mad than messy tools!

Thanks, Annissa :) I’d love to do the golden gown, and still might… I wasn’t feeling up to anything very detailed yesterday, though, and I do love that red dress. It sounds too bad about your scanner…it’s a real shame when our tools betray us. Mine’s not as old as yours, so I feel great sympathy for you!

Wonderfull costume (why not do her golden party dress?)!
I also have some problem with my scanner. Often it refuses to cooperate with me and mess it up by causing many different sort of problems (sometimes I must redo a scanning because of that), but it is wery old, however (I think my dad bought or got it around 1998, and I got it from him later). The most frustrating problem is that darker pencil colors sometimes results in light stripes over the costume in the scanned picture (I was forced to throw away a costume for Henry Tilney, the hero in Northanger Abbey,because of that and that made me very sad).

I upped the saturation on this one a bit, though — usually I don’t have to mess much with the color settings. Poor old scanner…
If I was going to try to draw one of Inara’s dresses in black and white, I think it would be the training house one from the movie (http://serenifly.tripod.com/serenityinara4.html) — I love it, but I don’t have the patience to do it right in color with the detail on the vest and embroidery on the skirt. I bet with all the folds and details it’d be great in black and white, though.

Red can be a hard color to scan, but I think this is lovely. All of Inara’s dresses are so fantastic, I would never have the nerve to try to draw them (they need color and color scares me).
