The festive outfit won the poll, so here you go ^

I assume Kimmuriel definitely has an eye for aesthetic but as everyday outfits he likes to stay simple and functional. Like he does not use large sleeves bc he don't have magic trinkets to hide in it and he also likes to sit/curl into strange positions the fancy robes are not compatible with. That's why he usually wears light, simple robes in dark colours, with as less pattern as possible. As material I think he likes spidersilk (or velvet for cold days). He also never wears jewellery, this headpiece is from his former House and he digs it out just for very fancy occasions.

For this outfit I imagined a POV when he has to go somewhere fancy as BD co-leader and Jarlaxle directed him to dress as festive as possible. And for his genuine surprise, Kimmuriel nailed it.

And because you've read this, bonus:

I finished the last outfit poll! Kimmuriel's everyday outfit ra ta ta!

As I described in the post of the fancy one, I hc him wearing quite simple and comfortable robes as regular outfit. I designed the robes sleeveless and used with an udershirt. He wears usually similar black robes, the maximum changes are the sleevelength and thickness depending the temperature and the finish of the material (I imagined them of matte or shiny spidersilk).

The undershirts are dark coloured and made of spidersilk too - I hc Kimmuriel is sensory for materials so most pieces of his wardrobe are of the same material - I find kinda funny (and can relate) that his wardrobe is the 50 shades of black (and dark blue/purple). Under the robes he wears tight and comfy leggings-like stuff and comfortable low heeled ankle boots.

The robes are open skirted because they are more practical and comfy and he usually wears a simple black velvet corset belt and arm cuffs. I love to add them to the outfit because they are comfy enough to the everyday shit but look elegant and a bit edgy. Having unholy long hair he used to braid it to gith braids on the upper part but the little stray hairs always escape and I find it kinda cute, especially pairing with his usually serious expression.

I also love the idea that regular drow use makeup and that the makeup has functional purposes besides the aesthetic reason, like eyeliners help to avoid tiredness of the eyes or tolerate the light of candles more than without using them. So I decided to give Kimmuriel some black eyeliner too.

Some close-ups as bonus:

Astral Kimmuriel

Kimmuriel as an astral projection, because he deserves a place to be happy :)

If I could sing one last song to you

"If I could sing one last song before the world ends

If I could sing one last song to say goodbye

If I could sing one last song to all my children

If I could sing one last song before we die

If I could sing one last song to show my love was endless

If I could sing one last song to help you cry

If I could sing one last song when the colours fade

With a smile through the pain to the everlasting night"

The last time little Kimmuriel hears his father singing.

Not gonna lie, Tsabanor has a special little corner in my heart and I love the thought that he could sing nightmares and bad memories away. His fate also makes me inexplicably sad. What a talent, what a waste. I assume Kimmuriel have inherited very much from Tsabanor* and his loss was the first step to his well known aloofness.

*I love to think that he has also a nice singing voice despite he almost never uses it and his beautiful face features & hair is from Tsabanor

**and yep, his hair is flowing while using psionics because he is a wild talent
