Next up, covering all that hard modeling work with clothes!

I don't intend to go any more detailed than this. The plan is to get something interesting visually on Unity's side with shaders :)

A breakdown of the clothes and different layers my oc Seranie wears!

Over her underwear she wears a warm base layer, consisting of a cropped polo shirt, shorts and thigh high stockings. On top of this she wears a tie-on pocket; the kind that medieval women wore underneath their dresses! There she stores all kind of things, one of them being her wand.

Over this she wears an empire-waisted green dress. I'm unsure of the material but I'm thinking chiffon maybe? we'll see :)

And then if needed she uses a thick winter cloak lined with bear fur, bought in Northrend.

The book Seranie uses is magical and emits a faint glow and sparkles. Every day it changes it's content - it could one day consist of some complex arcane spells and theories, and another day it can transform into a cookbook. The leather bag she carries around is mainly for storing the book on the go. :)

Creating a Wardrobe for Your Characters

Hey everyone, Abby here with another writing post! Today we’re talking about your characters, specifically the clothes they wear. I feel like this topic is something that’s usually a little overlooked when creating characters (so here we are).

There are definitely a lot of things you’ll want (or need) to keep in mind when you’re creating your character’s wardrobe, which is part of the reason this part of your character’s development is so difficult. One of the first things you’ll want to think of when creating their closet is the world’s culture. You’ll want to consider the more general topics first, things like:

Taboos

Things considered promiscuous (or adversely, prude)

Commonly seen

Professionality

These things are all going to play a huge role in the way each character dresses, and will also do a lot of development for you. If your character is more on the abstaining side, you won’t need to say that outright if you include things in her outfit that fall into that category. The same goes for more promiscuous characters; maybe they tend to wear clothes that show off certain things that, in the world’s culture, would be considered inviting.

But taboos are a different thing entirely. If you’re character’s wearing something that goes against social customs, there are two things you’ll want to keep in mind: the severity of the taboo and the way the character wears it. Whether or not they wear it proudly will say a lot about them.

Broad topics like the ones listed above aren’t the only thing you can consider, though. Going against taboos, create a general outline of how people commonly dress in your society. Decide whether or not everything looks more of less uniform, and how strange it would be if there was a character who tended to dress up (or down).

Note: The weather will play a huge role here. If your character's home is in a generally cold place, odds are they're going to own way more coats and warm clothes than shorts and sandals.

You’ll also get a huge look into your character’s accessories. They way they make their outfits there own is going to say a lot about them. Some things you could look at here include (but are not limited to):

Jackets

Bags

Jewelry

Glasses

If your character constantly wears a crap ton of accessories with their outfit, that’s okay. If they don’t that’s also okay. It’s all in their personality and what you think they would choose if they were real.

What about favorite items? I know for a solid two years, I had a three-sizes-too-big sweatshirt that I wore at least 2-3 times a week. (Thank goodness we’re part that phase, huh?) Maybe it’s not that extreme, or maybe it goes beyond that, but every character probably has that one favorite article of clothing. For me now, it’s my black combat boots that go with almost everything.

Note: The item doesn't have to go with everything. Sometimes your character tries and it doesn't work, other times they force it to. Again, it's all in the way you write them.

Now we look to makeup: how common is it? Is it more common for one gender over the other to wear it? How much do people tend to wear, and are the colors usually extreme? There are colors that stress natural beauty, and others that are all about the artificial “natural” look. Where does your world fall? Here you could also look into how strongly makeup products are marketed (if at all) and when people start wearing it (if they do at all).

Finally (for this post, definitely not overall), take a look at your character’s overall look. Is it more neutral, something that would blend easily into a crowd? Maybe they’re all about patterns and flashy colors, forcing themselves to stand out. Some people are all about sweatpants and t-shirts, others are all business. There are so many different ways for you to dress your characters; the best you can do is refuse to let the opportunity to express your character slip by.

So, this post covered a lot of ground with not so much detail. While your character’s wardrobe should absolutely be considered something important, it’s not something you should be focusing all of your energy on. Some point in the future you’ll see some posts pertaining to a couple of the topics mentioned here. Until next time, stay lovely! <333

hice una pequeña recolección de varios posibles diseños de ropa que hice para mi personaje lazul, siempre he sido un poco indecisa con esta clase de cosas, así que no seria sorpresa si vieran aun mas diseños diferentes en próximas publicaciones

.

I made a small collection of various clothing designs that I made for my character lazul, I've always been a bit hesitant with this kind of thing, so it wouldn't be a surprise if you see even more different designs in future posts
