[very clearly indulging the urge] im fighting the urge
Was reminded of my old monster Cinderella x Snow White story and felt like redesigning them a bit
A VERY LATE PERMAY PIECE MIGHT AS WELL BE A PRIDE PIECE

people should be allowed to have low ambition, and also be able to feed a family on the salary of a cashier at a convenience store.
one of my favorite tropes in chinese literature is when a guy’s wife is clearly a ghost/demon/fox fairy and he just can’t see it. i’m reading a story where this guy keeps getting arrested because his wife will just magically steal steal shit out of sealed boxes and give it to him as a present, and whenever someone is like dude i think something’s up with his wife he asks her and she’s like i’m literally normal. so he turns around and says yeah guys she’s literally normal
nothing to worry about; carry on
every day star wars fans come on this site and say some version of "star wars would be so good if it was good"
when you see your little kitty walking toward you at a leisurely pace and say "hi baby!" bc you're excited to see her and she starts trotting a little bit faster 'cause she's excited to see you too. that's what life is all about i think

Juste talks about “Ruthven”, which I’m going to blindly presume is Juste’s “Dracula”, so I tried to mockup a Ruthven design but it’s ending up being a lot more then I realised haha. I’ll leave this here for now but I’ll just spit ball so when I come back it’ll all be here
The book The Vampyre, published in 1819, is considered the first vampire books in English literature, with Lord Ruthven as our vampire. It depicts the building blocks such as aristocracy, charm, and other vampire traits that would also later appear in Carmila and popularised in Dracula.
I wanted to perceive him as otherworldly and a major contrast to not only Juste, but Maxim and Lydie as those designs ended up leaning towards lower class and servant vibes.
This would end up into mostly four different pathways I went:
- Tudor(ish) and Greek(ish) clothing to make appearance older/unlike Dracula
- References to the first animated feature film Snow White as an ode to the first vampire in literature
- References to theatre, in what is considered the “first” depiction of a pact with the devil with Doctor Faustus. Thus costuming and designs surrounding Mephistopheles, the devil’s henchmen (Maxim, Juste’s friend, gets possessed so I feel like this goes nicely in hand)
- References to the fashion of the 1800s when the book was published. Also having a vague lean towards Lord Byron, who Ruthven was based off
Somehow the costuming for Mephistopheles is not only just really cool, but can encompass all of the pathways I’ve covered since I can still go for a 1800s costuming, even 1930s due to Snow White, because it’s a lens of the older eras. I ended up mish mashing a lot of the styles to get somewhere.

I’m having alot of fun with the more theatrical costume look, I still want to challenge myself to do a “Castlevania” look which ends up being a lot more modern, especially the vampires so I’ll probably end up doing two versions.
