PORTER, THE 38TH VICTOR

To Capitol citizens, there are none more celebrated than our victors, District citizens who have displayed heroism against the odds. So why has CapitolTV begun re-releasing former Victory Tour posters amidst a revolution? We can only imagine this is a last ditch effort to rally support around the Capitol. Whatever their reason, we at Capitol Couture are taking these posters at face value, examining the fashion and design behind these iconic posters celebrating beloved icons.

There is only one victor we can imagine making a head brace look stylish—Porter Millicent Tripp from District 5. For those of you that don’t remember, Tripp earned her “halo” and a broken neck after a spinal injury she received in the Games’ final showdown. She posed for her Victory Tour poster wearing a form-fitting navy bodysuit with bright orange Capitol insignias. The complimentary colors draw you in while her defiant look makes her an unforgettable victor. We at Capitol Couture are still in awe of you, Porter. Well done indeed.

MAGS, THE 11TH VICTOR

CapitolTV has released a second set of Victory Tour posters from their archives, and we at Capitol Couture are in agreement; they couldn’t be any more beautiful. It’s fair to say that few of us living in Panem today have ever laid eyes on these rare and precious artifacts, with them having been sealed in the Capitol vaults for over 60 years.

Mags Flanagan, immortalized here as a young woman, looks as fierce and tenacious as ever. Her triumphant win in the 11th Hunger Games made her a household name and Panem’s sweetheart for years to come. It’s incredible to think this stoic girl is the same woman that smiled so warmly and fought so valiantly alongside Katniss Everdeen in the 75th Hunger Games.

Fashioning olive fatigues, Mags’ vintage look feels surprisingly on-trend with the current wave of militia attire. This, paired with minimal makeup, makes Mags look devastatingly elegant and timeless. Could Mags have been an overlooked style icon? Capitol Couture thinks so.

As fabulous and eye-catching as this heroic imagery is, and while Mags returned to the Games during the most recent Quarter Quell, these iconic Victory Tour posters remained under lock and key until now… perhaps saving them for greater impact when the message was needed most by The Capitol Gamemakers? Only time will tell.

AUGUSTUS BRAUN, THE 67TH VICTOR

What a whirlwind this past week has been! Seemingly in an effort to raise spirits around the Capitol’s war efforts, CapitolTV has been releasing long-sequestered Victory Tour posters from the CMI archives. Following the release of striking images of the resilient Porter Millicent Trip (victor of the 38th Games) and the beloved Mags Flanagan (victor of the historic 11th Games), today we’re blessed with a staggering poster set featuring the stalwart Augustus Braun from District 1.

Augustus Braun, aka “The Cavalier Career”, stands amongst stark Capitol architecture in these 67th Victory Tour posters. His white ensemble is bright and optimistic; a knowing aesthetic decision in direct contrast to the unkempt persona he cultivated during his Games. Braun stands proud, both of his success in the arena and of his nation, secure in his legacy as Panem’s Favorite Son. The Capitol duly sung his praises as he toured the districts, bringing with him a message of prosperity and reconciliation to the people.

It’s an honor to showcase your Victory Tour posters, Augustus. May it remind our readers of a happier era in this great country, and serve to inspire those that seek to make a difference during these trying times.

So who wants to see some ancient art?

Cuz I found really old things behind the fridge.

These were scrapped sprites I was going to use on a personal practice project. They’re over 4 years old and these little buttholes outlived 3 computers. At this point rather than hold them back on the faint hope I can use them for their intended purposes, I thought it might be best to share them before something happens that sends them into the shadow realm for good.

They were originally based around practicing on making a raising sim based on the then new-ish Eevee Tamagotchi (and that was a huge inspiration on their style, but they’re different enough in both the sprites and other ways it’s more based on than a remake), and they would’ve had a lot of other sprites planned in the set that life happened, tech troubles also happened, and I just didn’t get around to. Things like all of them sleeping, different eggs with even more palette variants, and even them wearing little hats and clothes based on different classes for mini-game purposes (popstar was among those classes and that’s why Popstar Eevee, something in the tama, isn’t here). You could also breed them, and while the base egg is entirely random, shiny eggs are guaranteed shinies, and specific patterned eggs guaranteed specific variants (with their own guaranteed shinies to match).

Lately I’ve been busy with other projects that makes the chance coming back to this one somewhere between “*dial-up internet static*” and “*iunno noise* 🤷” but they survive this long so they may as well see the light of day anyways.
