Style is the only thing you can’t buy. It’s something you have, not something you put on."

Research - Characters

Before I could even warrant beginning my character designs, I had to think about the characters I wanted to style twist in the first place.

My Top Considerations:

Ghibli - Style

The Studio Ghibli style has in honesty inspired me from a very young age, even if my own art style has never particularly matched it. The characters are so sleek and simple and yet are still so expressive, the work the studio does on them and the magic they make out of such basic lines is quite extraordinary. I have a few favourite Ghibli characters, but rather than picking any of them, I chose to consider Ghibli as one of the styles to turn someone INTO.

A lot of the characters from Ghibli have rather similar features, but things like the hair, body size and for the side characters, the facial features are what differentiate them from the rest. A few examples of my favourite characters are pasted below, for various reasons I consider these characters to be at the top of my list.

Steven Universe - Characters

Steven Universe for a number of years has been a guilty pleasure show of mine, even despite its troubled production and reputation. I find the characters to be both designed very interestingly, but also to have development I very rarely see in other shows of its kind. The stories behind each character grip you, and though their endings might not have been completely satisfying, their journeys across the last half decade have kept my attention and made me smile alongside them. Below are pasted a few of my favourite characters, mostly down to their growth following their arcs, but also design-wise, since they’re rather memorable.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure - Style

Within the past year, I began watching and then finished the entirety of Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure up to date, and now await the next part eagerly. In the beginning, I was so certain I wouldn’t enjoy the show considering my slight distaste for anime (Excluding Ghibli) and yet I rather quickly found myself falling in love with the show and each of their characters. I would personally argue I have more of an attatchment to the characters and their personalities rather than the style, but of the two, the Jojo art style is far more recognisable, hence my choosing it over the former. The linework is thick and dark, a huge variation away from my own light scratchy style, but I considered this a challenge of my skill and grit from Day 1. Pasted under this area few of my favourite characters, whether it be for style or personality.

Animal Crossing - Characters

Animal Crossing as a series follows a very linear patterm when it comes to character design, and thats partially where the charm comes from; the characters each have basic builds and set models, and so the player builds a connection to them based much more on personality than looks, at least that’s the intended effect. I originally chose Animal Crossing as a character series rather than a style series, since there are recognisable faces I could have changed any which way throughout the cinematic world, however I ended up using it the opposite way, changing a familiar face into the small stumpy style. Regardless of that, below are a few of the characters I felt like would most well translate into alternate styles.

Conclusion - My Chosen Mashups

After deliberation for a good few days, I had chosen my 3 character mashups, as written below:

1. Steven Universe x Splatoon

2. Onward x Animal Crossing

3. Ratatouille x Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure (Challenge)

A new approach to fashion sustainability: Fixing past mistakes

“In a super future, manufacturers and farms share the danger of rising crops,” she says. Dust at the moment has a few dozen tasks to help, together with forest safety in Brazil, gold mine regeneration in Uganda and biodynamic wool farming growth within the UK and is searching for sponsorships from style and sweetness firms to scale these efforts. “Dust offers the chance for companies that perceive how they’ve broken soils prior to now to offer again to the planet with certainty,” says Muse.

“There’s an enormous quantity of extraction that is been happening for over a century, of pure sources and from human lives, to create the merchandise that the style trade has thrived upon — and it has precipitated a variety of harm. It’s depleted soils, it is ruined folks’s livelihoods,” says Thea Maria Carlson, former head of the US Biodynamic Affiliation and a Dust trustee. “We will not [look forward to a brighter, healthier future] if we do not additionally have a look at the hurt that is been performed prior to now and the way will we restore that hurt.”

Miners typically discover one gram of gold at a time.

A conduit for style

Within the Busia district of Uganda, mining guide Stephen Turyahikayo has been working with mining communities and the Earthbeat Basis — one of many first organisations that Dust plans to help — to close down a few of the numerous small-scale, or artisanal, gold mines within the space. The gold produced within the area finally makes its option to the worldwide market, a lot of it by means of Dubai, the place it’s aggregated and refined, however it adjustments palms so many occasions that jewelry firms and different customers of the ultimate gold by no means know the place it initially got here from — and the miners themselves are disconnected from each the worldwide value for gold and from environmental and security requirements that giant mining operations may need in place.

Deep Sea Low

Some days are sky high and some are deep sea low. But you there's so much in between days like these. There are all shades of gray.. It's not a black and white thing.. While you seem so okay and steady and happy.. Life has it's own way of making things a little bit more tricky and challenging and yes, tiring.. But! But! But! Never give up! When these days, haunt and caught you, just stay still, don't loosen up your faith, say a little prayer and believe that good things will come your way.. If you're going through something today, just look around you and realize that some people, too, are struggling about something else, something may be even worse than yours. We don't know exactly what you're into right now, just like, how much you have no idea of what I'm going through right now.. I guess it's human nature, to feel first what's yours. It's normal. You're human. But always wear their shoes too. If you're strong enough, try to feel their pain too and most of all, all the reasons why people act as such.. Oftentimes we are hurt by the people we love most, or we hurt the ones we love.. Either way, there's no winning. I guess, it's safe to say, You have to make it work, to make it last. It's a hardwork everyday.. It's not always rainbows and butterflies;) ON ME: Dress: H&M, Shoes: GH When you're at your Deep Sea Low , try to recall your Sky High moments to make you feel better. Believe me. It works!;) Sending warm hugs to everyone! Ta-ta, Arey❤️
