follow up question regarding fashion inspo-- do you happen to have a pinterest board or know of other places to look for non tudor fashion that you could link? my own search has been pretty fruitless. also rly love how you draw and render fabric!! ty for ur insight and thoughts :]
thank you! this is a pretty broad question so I'm not sure that I can give the most helpful answer but I find this timeline by the FIT to be a nice, quick visual guide for period trends. Unfortunately it primarily focuses on the regions of current day England, France, and Italy, so no Rus fashions to be found there, but you can poke around pre (and post, if you like) Tudor period/outside of england to see what late medieval and early modern people were wearing as depicted in art of the time.
Rus fashions are harder to dig up and I don't have great advice there... Resources in english kind of suck but you kind of just have to scour... I try not to get too hung up on accuracy for asoiaf stuff, since at the end of the day I'm combining a bunch of different styles that I like into a fantasy setting, so I'll take pieces from bilibin illustrations, or period shows, or whatever other crumbs I can find.
unfortunately I don't have the most organized process but hopefully that is somewhat helpful!
YOUR ART IS AWESOME!!! I love seeing some book inspired designs!! like dude this might be my fav account i've found on here!!
thank you!! I am extremely late to books and fandom I think but regardless grrm cannot stop me from getting my grimy hands on his characters
Tenar <3 my friend promised me a strangegirl protagonist in the Tombs of Atuan and I was not disappointed
hello! i was wondering where you found references for historical clothing?
hi! I mostly look for medieval russian costumes and illustrations! You can find some really beautiful (non-US) show costumes centered around that period on pinterest, as well as recreations and illustrations. Occasionally i’ll look at Ivan Bilibin’s works but that’s more so for patterns and general aesthetic than exact garments.
Your OCs look awesome! Do you have more of them?
I do but you have unlock my 3 heart event to get them
hii sorry if i didn't see this but are commissions back up again? ty!!
no they’re not, I’m sorry :(
I deleted the post because I’m not sure when/if I’m going to open them again and if I do I definitely need to adjust prices.
your recent jb‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ thank you for the food‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
thank YOU fellow jb warrior ‼️🫡
love your art, you're currently my favourite asoiaf fan artist! Are you planning on doing all the characters? Would love to see Shiera Seastar, Lyanna Stark, Black Ally and the conquerers!
hii tysm!! I don’t plan on doing everyone. frankly there are just some characters that don’t interest me! Lyanna is a maybe but frankly there are already some really nice drawings of her that idk if I could improve/ add to. I would like to draw Catelyn next, but currently i’m possessed w some oc stuff so who can say when that will happen.
but specifically because I have so many asks in my inbox about shiera… to me she is a bit of a nothing character? she is pretty and she fucks her half brother? so is cersei and she has the guts to go for a full brother‼️ I don’t really have any interest in drawing the characters whose only traits are that they’re pretty
Who are you?
Hello :) I really like your earthsea art, can I ask what inspired the fashion style of the characters? The clothes of earthsea aren’t generally described in detail, but I LOVE the way these look, they fit the feeling of the world perfectly.
hi!! tysm!! My Earthsea stuff so far has been mostly vibes based unfortunately, so i have no specific references to point you to… For Ged, I thought I it was important that his clothing be comfortable, practical, and humble but not ragged. he’s a powerful wizard, but he’s not showy, so his robes are colorful, but not opulent. I also considered what would look cool flowing in the wind while sailing on lookfar…
for Tenar, I started with the (obvious) base of the black robes. I figured they should be very basic because they’re mentioned making their own clothes. HOWEVER, Tenar is priestess of the Nameless One and thus higher status than her peers, so I wanted her to have more than just a plain robe. There are some small elements on the trim of her robe, and she has a decorative shawl which takes extra labor to make. even so, her belt is still only a rope. They are not living luxuriously.
I hope that makes sense!! I also was just influenced by what is fun for me to draw, and that happens to be loose and layered clothing ! :)
I just discovered your asoiaf art and I'm crying tears of joy. It's so gorgeous!
thank youuu <3 so glad I picked the series up on a whim because it’s been great for inspiration :)
