the four designs are based on 4 themes of what happens to the body when it dons a costume.
These themes are stylized, distorted, disguised and inversed. The origami dress posted previously is the stylized version of the female in carnival and the traditional dragon costume. The rope costume is a distorted and exaggerated version of the female body and form.
This one is the 3rd costume 'disguise'.
In the finished product the spiral tentacles creep up to cover the face, until the body is overtaken and no longer distinguishable.
ill post the finish product soon. These images are where it is at now.
