#historical costume design

[schweizercomics]

Hello, friends! I did a lecture last month at Cartoon Crossroads on doing reference for historically-set stories and adapting that reference into costumes that further your narrative. If you think that sort of thing'd be helpful to you, well, the CXC folks have posted a video of the talk!

The Queen of the North

Potentially random illustration but I had the idea in my head and a new brush I wanted to try out…. So… here we are (*´▽｀*). Keeping with my theme of revisiting parts of previous designs and adding them to backgrounds/scenes. I also want to keep challenging myself, and going for more painterly styles is very much out of my comfort zone. What do you think? I had a bit of fun, learned some things, tested some things out, maybe I’ll try more in this style? (And before you ask yes I know there are supposed to be weirwood leaves, I didn’t have the energy to include them, that’s just the way it is).

A Song of Ice and Fashion- House Baratheon

Details

So the Baratheons have heavier fabrics since having lightweight fabrics would be very impractical with the stormy weather at Storms End, it’s hard to tell but the dresses are supposed to be ankle length as opposed to full length or dragging since the ground would be quite wet. I based the sillohette of the dresses of of traditional Turkish, Greek, and Hungarian dresses. They have heavily embroidered trims and employ use of gold and brass clasps and decorations. And obviously so. many. deer.

Playing with a new brush set & drawing Elizabethan-esque dresses✨️

(I guess mid-late 16th century is a more accurate term)

Zelda's royal dress in BOTW had some historical elements I had fun exploring.

Of course, the final dog has to be our dog Rituška!🦴 She is a mix and wears whatever I’m usually wearing when I take her for a walk.   I would like to thank again to everyone who bought some of the dogs. In the end, we managed to gather about 930USD which I donated yesterday to these three organizations (to help wild animals, dogs, and humans) - @hajnyzmakova @packaproutulkace @charita_cesko THANK YOU SO MUCH! 💖 And in case someone still wants to adopt a dog, these are left - Afghan Hound, Australian Cattle Dog, Xoloitzcuintle, Husky, Brabançon, Brittany, Pekingese, and Chihuahua 🐕🐩

Rhaenyra is officially Heir

I almost was not going to redesign Rhaenyra's official Heir ceremony costume from the show, because I kind of like that one. If the cloak fabric didn’t wrinkle so under its own weight it might have been perfect.

While redesigning it I decided the thing to do was to push the Byzantine inspiration even farther. The shape, the mantle, and the crown with strings of pearls. Before you ask: yes, this took a solid amount of time to do with all those details in there. I wanted to use richer golds, loads more gems, and huge amounts of expensive fabric for this very formal, very important occasion. The crown even has a little dragon on it.
