For Round 2: Starry Dreams of TheOC-pageantOfDA


Whoo-hoo, I beat the deadline!  I was afraid I wouldn’t make it this time (it has been a pretty lousy month for me).  


This time we were challenged to design a sleepwear look that incorporated stars.  And Elijah is really thankful that his marching band shirt from freshman year (the Sagebrush marching band did a show based on the Zodiac, in which they placed fourth in their division at the state championships) and color guard-themed pajama pants fit the criteria.  Sure, the ensemble would look tacky but he’s not going to lie, it’s really freaking comfy. And who wouldn’t love something decked out with flags, rifles, and sabers? This guy sure doesn’t!

So far, there are at least thirty six stars included in the outfit and nineteen in the background.  Personally, my favorite part about this entry was designing the background. We were encouraged to use any kind of star as long as, and quote, “your OC can clearly identify with the symbolic meaning behind it, then it is a good way of presenting your OC’s personality/history/background/identity.”  So I went with that suggestion when it came to decorating the scene: among other things, some of the photographs and postcards are from his and his dad’s travels, souvenirs from overseas, an Israeli flag sticker to mark his tablet as his own, and stuff that he just really likes.

That said having lived in apartments for most of my life, you can’t experiment with paint or carpeting unless you want to invoke the ire of the landlord so I based it off of a really drab flat I grew up in, which in the end proved to be a pretty good canvas for his collage. And honestly, I couldn’t resist adding the glow-in-the-dark stars and planets pack.  Glow-in-the-dark-ceiling-stars are dope.
