Ellie de Lange wore this elegant fur mantle as Jenneke in the beautifully costumed 2024 miniseries 𝑾𝒐𝒍𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒍: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕. While many costumes were created specifically for that production, this piece was likely made for the equally lavish 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅, where it was worn by a lady-in-waiting.   See more at Bit.ly/Acces217

Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.

This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...

Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!

Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!

Accessorising the new cotehardie a little, as a treat. I don’t know why all these turned out so serious 😂

Also holy shit, all of this is entirely handsewn (including the not-visible shift and hose). Reenactor goalpost reached o.o
