Thoughts on Today’s Paper Doll
This week every post on the blog (and the Friday post for my patrons) will be cybergoth themed. I’m sort of excited, because I haven’t done cybergoth paper dolls in a long time- the last one was in 2012.
So, based on my limited understanding, Cybergoth is largely a European fashion style. It’s basically what might happen if rave fashion and goth fashion had a love child with an obsession with crazy hair pieces. Think a lot of torn fishnet and pvc, plus gas masks and googles. It’s not a style I would ever wear (but like, neither are 99% of my paper dolls) and that’s okay!
The hair pieces are really important to the style, so I knew I needed to make sure I had one.
Inspiration for Today’s Paper Doll
A lot of cybergoth clothing style is very close to being cyberpunk or rave fashion. The hairpieces are a big differentiator, so I spent a fair bit of time researching what are often called “cyberlox” which is a combination of the words cyber and dreadlocks. Some of them are even made of fiberoptic materials or rubber.
I rarely put a NSFW disclaimer on anything, because I draw paper dolls and they’re hardly X rated, but I will openly state that some of the Tumblrs I have linked too, while I didn’t see any nudity, there’s a fair bit of fetish fashion and sexy content. So, don’t be surprised by that.

Last Thoughts
Tomorrow, cybergoth week will continue with some clothing. I hope you tune in. I had a lot of fun designing these pieces.
A thank you to my patrons who voted for this week’s theme. Your support makes all the difference.
Lastly, cybergoth, what do you think? Strange? Okay, but not your taste? Super cool? Let me know in a comment!
I’m glad you put the warning up, since my daughter was in the room as I looked at the paper dolls, and I wouldn’t want to accidentally click through and show her a bit more than she needs to see right now.
Thank you for always doing your best to share your inspirations. It’s so much fun to see where your inspiration comes from.
Yeah, it’s more Victoria Secret than Penthouse, but I figured people might want a heads up.
Wonerful paper doll. Her hair and dress is amazing. I am happy for Cybergoth week.
Thank you!
Cybergoth isn’t something I’m at all familiar with, but it looks…interesting! LOL! I adore that hair, and your shoes are always amazing!
I love the hair, too. It’s what drew me to the style to start with.
I love the way Cybergoth and similar fashion looks, honestly. I’m certainly not brave enough to wear it myself, but I can admire it from afar, lol.
Me neither. I suspect that, like a lot of alt fashion, this is a style one wears to a club, not to the grocery store.
Her hair is adorable, and I don’t think I’ve said it yet but I love the new series.
Thank you! I’m really enjoying it too.
Love this style! If i was a skinny minny i’d totally dress like this a lot. Unfortunately most goth brands either don’t have plus size or charge twice as much for it.
Yeah. A lot of small clothing brands (and most gothic clothing brands are fairly small) don’t offer great size ranges, which is unfortunate. Torrid used to, but I think they’d changed over the last decade, which was the last time I knew anyone who shopped there for alt fashion.
