My Art Program Perished for This

Posted Feb 12, 2023, 6:20:37 PM UTC

FireAlpaca crashed for the first time ever when I was working on this and I just about had a heart attack. Thank goodness I have it set to auto-save so I didn't lose much, but IT SCARED THE HECKIN' OUTTA ME.

#51 Does your character have traditional dress from their homeland? Draw or write about your character in their traditional cultural fashion.

-----------------------------------------

Anyway, I had to put a lot of thought into each of them. Left to Right:

For Lawliette, I had to really consider the lore idea I had for draconic beings like her. I opted for something a bit more revealing and fantasy because the show of scales felt more useful somehow. Being both about mystic and also a bit vain by nature.

Abel was (or really still is) a demon of royalty. He could dress up even fancier than this and still be accurate, buuut he is tired and lazy. He doesn't usually find a reason to dress up.

Gwyn was an old-school, traditional woman before her curse. She'd likely still have the clothes she used to wear from her little town.

Etch I'd never stated but her culture is more germanic in nature. She would have knowledge from her creator, as well as a plethora of various clothing gifted to her. He spoiled her as much as he was able to in his life.

Reyha, admittedly, I was stumped on and eventually settled on her wearing just about anything she felt like. She was created rather than born, she wasn't raised with a specific culture and thus can take on more new-aged traditions or party dress.

Karamei (And a lil' Su-Bin because I can never draw the fox without her lovely girlfriend), is in more of her shrine attire. I've drawn her once before in similar clothing, she HATES it but if it makes Su-Bin blush, then it's worth it. Also, Su-Bin is wearing a hanbok, a traditional dress in Korea.

    Oh wow this is so cool! A full lineup of your characters - their outfits and poses tell quite a bit about them (and the descriptions are really interesting too)!

    Glad to hear you didn't lose all your progress ^-^ Hang in there, Firealpaca--

    I really like how each character's personalities shines through in their poses and expressions. The clothing choices are really good too- it's really diverse and yet there's not so many different colors it's overwhelming.

      Thank you so much!!
      The clothing I had to take my time thinking of and picking out. They're all culturally and geographically diverse and I liked a chance to get to really show that. Love these prompts so much. ^^

    This is an amazing line up. Love all the different styles and how they fit each character.
