The more I think about it the more I want to do D's father correctly, (minus the bullet holes) but I have no idea as to what colours that outfit is. I know both his eyes are violet and I already have the contacts. Do you have any suggestions for colour aside from white with gold trim?
The museum outfit is mainly white with plain gold trim and a floral print vest with four bows down the front instead of silk frog clasps. I don't know the colour on that but I chose a light blue juaquard silk that was close to the floral pattern used on the vest. I have a feeling the vest is supposed to be a light gold colour with wine coloured edging. Whenever the edging is dark it's usually supposed to be redish. But I just like blues better and could'nt find the light gold in a pattern that was close. I may include a sash and add a pin at the collar to dress it up more, it is one of his most plain outfits.
Painting it all by hand...please don't! I'm in that hell right now with one of the Trinity blood costumes. The Queens dress is 9 yards of white silk sateen (just for the skirt, not including the cloak and train) and I have to hand paint on all the designs. Then hand embroider on all the pearls over top. On everything! Shoot me, shoot me now! ><; I'm just glad I'm not the one wearing this thing, it's going to weigh a ton!
You're right about the anime, it left out a lot of the humour and came out more x-files like. It was not really creepy, but it was somewhat disturbing. The evangeline blue song is haunting, it scared me one day when my sister was watching it in the basement and I was upstairs. It sounds like a ghost echoing.
