Cetegandan concept sketches
Wanted to try my hand at Cetegandan clothing. Not sure how Gem differs from Haut, though I'm leaning towards Gem being more flamboyant, space-grabbing and structured (left and right) whereas Haut is flowy-er and layered, with some lab attire with a both aesthetic and practical bent.
In general clothing styles try to evoke imagery of flowers, petals, and delicate layering. I'm playing around with incorporating butterfly shapes in the silhouette. (see swallowtail sleeves on far left). While the garments are light and flowy, very little skin is left showing. The clothing style is an elegant synthesis of Grecian drapery and certain elements from historic Japanese, Chinese, and Korean garments. My muse was also inspired to create a similar feeling to some of my favorite Star Wars costume design sketches I've run across. I also really enjoy having folds radiating out from a central point, or folding out like petals above and below a belt/waistline. Will probably do more studies to further explore the variety of ceta styles I've imagined.
tbh i imagine cetagandan womens clothing is actually a bit less colorful. maybe more whites and creams. But I just had fun messin about with butterfly colors
OH HELL YEAH TIME TO CITE THOSE SOURCES! :::
these specific designs pull from and synthesise shapes I found in
Roberto Cappuci Haute Couture 1987 "angel of god" or "Andgelo d'Oro" (angel of gold) depending on which pinterst image I reference
and
this dress by Issa Hesso from the Rebirth Collection
starwars concept art I enjoy:
like fuck me this guys so good
you can find more by searching: iain mccaig padme amidala concept art
overall pretty happy with how these turned out :D! Feel like I successfully captured the space-elf-fairy vibes I was going for. If you notice any cannon clothing details I left out, or have your own creative ideas on how you imagine cetagandan cloting to look, feel free to leave a comment! I love hearing other people's insights :). Particularly curious how ceta clothing may have changed between occupation time period and modern miles-era ceta clothing. Given their heavily artistic bent I could imagine fashions may change wildly year to year decade to decade. But also given how long they live, perhaps the mainstream styles is actually less malleable? If so what are the common themes that are preseved?
thanks for reading!

MY GIDEON THE NINTH POOL SCENE FANART ABOUT WHICH I AM VERY VERY EXCITED
Next time I gotta start with a better sketch and exaggerate my poses a little more, but I’m just returning to art after several burnout years and overall I’m very pleased!
Edit: thank you everyone for your kind responses 🥺 I really just made this for myself and my friends, and it’s been so surprising and gratifying to know that the love and care I put into their designs and expressions came through and was meaningful to so many other people who read the books

piotr was supposed to be like 3 or 4 years old meeting a horse for the first time, but over the making of this project he basically doubled in age. probably around 7-9 year old now. whoops
bolero/coat was supposed to be more brown for house colors but i got a little carried away and now its reddish
all items of costume except shorts are based loosely on certian references, will track down and include, probably in final post.

Guilt
The rot was very inspired by that one scene and Akira and how gods turn into demons in Princess Mononoke. Which, I also thought was fitting because that's sorta what's happening in a symbolic sense kinda.
I've had the interpretation that the rot is a symbolic representation of Five Pebbles guilt [while ofc, still being his quite literal cancer], so that's what I'm trying to portray here
