J.Jones is not a Gothic Zombie and we love her.



okay, i can maybe see where you'd get the idea that jones is a little bit goth. she's based on a friend of mine, afterall. but she's not. what may be leading you astray, my faithful fan, is the bridefight motif. the two girls in the band are wearing torn-up wedding gowns. (the two guys in the band were supposed to be wearing something reminiscent of tuxedos - if you'll notice faust's little bow-tie in his close up picture - but that didn't pan out as well...) wedding gowns have, for some reason or other, become part of the goth motif aswell. maybe if i throw in a couple spoilers you'll feel better:

1. jones is wearing two different colored shoes
2. she's standing between xo and gem: both of whom are wearing pink in no small amount
3. i haven't decided the color of her guitar-like instrument, but the base color is a white.
4. part of the band-girls' image is to be two rival brides: jones wears dark colors but has a white "dress" on, gem wears bright colors but a black "dress".
5. if it's her individual backround that's adding to the disturbance, those are red, overlayed leaves - they reminded me of Japanese weddings, of which red is an important color. - the group background is currently a grayish color splattered with all manner of colors in leaf and star shapes that are too heavily overlayed to be distinguished. i really want something like a brick wall pattern in the poster - like they're playing in the back of some little club...

so please, don't hate on j.j. she's really a good person once you get to know her.
