Trying to get better at/actually do some .... background designs? environment concepts? whatever they're called.
This it the living room of the underwater palace in Airius. Aka Trance's home. It was originally an indoor pond, but they replaced the water with seats because none of the public go down there anymore. The walls are made of blue, and white marble, and there's little strips of lights all along the bottom of the walls for nightlight.
I watched Re: Creators recently, and it’s amazing, and I love it, but there’s a character that vaguely reminds me of Trance, and after watching him I got a really strong urge to draw Trance again, so here he is ;v; My precious baby =u= *pets him as the world demands*
Yeah, present day in RP where we should be RPing he’s gotten the cuffs off (finallyyyyy), because 200+ years passing in Aria meant they were able to figure out the key code. It feels weird to have nothing on his wrists now though, so he’s often found with some sort of jewelry there now X’D He’ll eventually get used to having nothing again. X’D
And I didn’t draw his collar because I’m lazy and didn’t want to figure out how to fit it in there at that angle let alone draw it in the first place 8I
-Wearing the same pattern on multiple articles of clothing (ie, clams on the robe and the waistband) is considered poor taste.
-All outfits have some sort of pants underneath
-Not wearing underclothes, which are always seen at least around the collar, is seen as provocative and gross. (This does not refer to underwear, that’s no one’s business if you’re wearing panties/briefs or not)
-They do have a lot of layers, but Airius is a very chilly nation. Averaging around 10-15C in the summer in the capital city, where these clothes are most common/accurate, so the layers don’t bother them.
-They do not have shoes. When there’s snow on the ground they have these suuuper fluffy fur ‘sock’ kind of footwear that has a waterproof layer between two layers of fur. They’re really warm and flexible, but are also still something that are able to be shifted away if needed.
-All clothing base shapes/cuts/shapes are unisex aside from maternity wear. What denotes the outfit as men’s or woman’s is the subject matter of the patterns on the clothes, if they have any.
Basic pattern categories:
Male: large fish, sea slugs, crab, shrimp, sun rays, clam, oyster, sea horse, willow tree, spineless urchin
Yoooo~ so I wanted to redesign Ourin’s royal attire now that I’ve gotten better at drawing and stuff, and while I was at it I thought I’d doodle some other aspects about Airius clothing culture. This is all common throughout the nation, though the rural areas may be a little different considering the distance away from the capital.
The notes on each pic are generally what marks them as more formal than the one below, with the royal attire being the most formal, and casual being the least formal. The sovereign’s royal attire is the more formal outfit in the nation, so no one else will be seen wearing something like that without getting into trouble. |D
It’s probably obvious, but I mostly used hanfu and kimono style clothing as references for them.
This took too long. |D
Wedding attire is considered between royal attire, and very formal attire, and is the highest level of formality that anyone other than the royal family will get to wear.
