I LOVE fetish wear, ( I think its a girl and shopping thing, we like all kinds of -wear- )
According to www.dictionary.com

Fetish-
1. An object that is believed to have magical or spiritual powers, especially such an object associated with animistic or shamanistic religious practices.
2. An object of unreasonably excessive attention or reverence: made a fetish of punctuality.
3. (I took out due to the nature of the definition, didnt think the website would allow it.)
4. An abnormally obsessive preoccupation or attachment; a fixation.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here...(someone please correct me if I am wrong) but.... fetish wear as in the leather...latex...spikes...chains...cuffs...collar s...costumes...gothic...more of the Dominatrix/Dom type thing. Could really involve anything. Am I getting warm, anyone else?....*listens to the crickets*..............
and then again maybe I just made a fool of myself.

I'd say think -the pics in your BROM book that you dont want mom to see.

Great topic!

I believe some reference pics can be seen in Matrix Revolutions during one of the first scenes before meeting the frenchy. =P

**Mad Giraffe** · November 25th, 2003, 08:02 AM

**Jebus** · November 25th, 2003, 09:11 AM

Mmm this sounds like Voldo from Soul Calibur 2.

**devilbunny** · November 25th, 2003, 09:34 AM

oh sweet jesus. this subject is so me.
just you guys wait. hee hee...

**davi** · November 25th, 2003, 09:41 AM

voldo is probably the most recongizible fetish-combat design.

Hyung-Tae Kim has alot of fetish influence in his character designs. leather coats with odd buckles and such.

the topic could be taken many ways, since... there are feet fetishes and such but i really think the concepts should be like what you'd see at an actual 'underground' fetish club. whips leather, buckles, skin tight everything probably... gags, piercings maybe.

have fun with it.

try not to get too.... R rated

might be hard to avoid on this one.

**MrKayne** · November 25th, 2003, 10:27 AM

Oh, man... I was just waiting for devilbunny to see this one...

(Don't disappoint us)

Well, I have to say, this will be an interesting topic... I'll try to participate, if I can think of something ...interesting.

**Mad Giraffe** · November 25th, 2003, 10:57 AM

Davi-what do you mean with R-rated? rancid? repulsive? radical? rapturous? raw? religious :s?...i dunno

**devilbunny** · November 25th, 2003, 11:01 AM

ok, here's something quick i came up with. i have to do other work now, but i intend to either color this up later or do another one.
i'll try not to disappoint.

**josephrey** · November 25th, 2003, 11:12 AM

heh. i knew you'd be RIGHT on this one, jenn.

but dammit, i was thinking of something similar.

**Beatnik** · November 25th, 2003, 11:27 AM

I keep thinking of Aeon Flux on this one. What an outfit she had!

devilbunny that's awesome.

Can't wait to see how everyone renders shiny leather.

**davi** · November 25th, 2003, 11:50 AM

R-rated = weeners and woman stuff all over the place.

**hito** · November 25th, 2003, 12:07 PM

fetish is not my forte. But someone mentioned Brom and the image popped into my head. Its the gazelle pose... but I kinda like it. I didn't draw the face, masked faces give me the hibbi-jeebies.

**OLSEN** · November 25th, 2003, 12:22 PM

Im not into this whole leatherstrap thing.

**nexykun** · November 25th, 2003, 12:42 PM

**Carnifex** · November 25th, 2003, 12:49 PM

**davi** · November 25th, 2003, 01:26 PM

**Sapphire** · November 25th, 2003, 01:50 PM

I know what fetishes are, but what I didn't understand was fetishy-interest-combat-y-type gear stuff... just sounded a little muddled. I probably won't post a dsg for a while considering the holiday, so... happy holidays, everybody!

**nexykun** · November 25th, 2003, 02:03 PM

wow i hope this isnt too adult or whatever tried to keep it within reason for this topic considering

basicly she pulls shrapnell from out of her flesh
years of bodily abuse have given her an incredible pain tolerance and very resiliant body

also the abity to see with her "third eye" because of blind fold and training

also uses chain and whip in combat

in other words you cant torture her and she takes alot of punishment to kill

wow im such a nerd hehe

You? Disappoint? Fft!

Man, I would have loved to have seen some of the stuff in this thread showing up in The Invisibles, or The Filth...

Morrison needs to hit this thread and grab some of the folks here, imho...
