Sanctuary uniform design post 2/3 (scroll to the end for extra design notes)
[Image ID: A digital drawing of standard Irish Sanctuary uniforms on a grey background. To the left of the picture is a drawing of a younger version of Eachan Meritorious, a tall white man with green eyes and white-streaked ginger hair and stubble, standing with his arms behind his back. He is wearing a grey vest with silver buttons and embroidery in the shape of thistles, very light grey trousers and black boots with silver details. His vest is fastened with a black belt with silver embroidery, and on top of his vest he has a darker gray jacket with fancy silver shoulder decorations and light grey lapels with thistle embroidery. He also has a white lace collar. To his left is the text “Fancy, mostly ceremonial” pointed to his outfit and to his right the text “Grand Mage version”. Next to him is a younger version of Corrival Deuce, a middle-aged man with dark olive skin, fluffy brown hair and brown eyes. He has a mustache and stubble, a few moles and crow’s feet on his face. He is standing in a relaxed pose with his arms crossed. His hair is tied into a low ponytail with a light grey ribbon. He has a grey, thigh-length uniform jacket that is fastened with one similar belt to Meritorious’s around his waist and two crossing over his chest. He has similar fancy shoulder decorations on his jacket, along with thistle embroidery. He also has the same trousers and boots as Meritorious. To his left is the text “Detailed, but still conventional” pointing to his uniform, and to his right the text “Commanding officer version”. To his right is Ghastly’s mother, a short black woman with dark brown hair and eyes. Her hair is styled in twists and gathered into a short ponytail. She is smiling, showing her smile lines, and flexing her right bicep, her other hand by her waist. Her uniform is identical to Corrivals, except without the criss-crossing belts and shoulder decorations. Like corrival, she has black gloves. To herleft is the text “designed for mobility” pointing to her uniform, and to her right is the text “Average officer uniform”. On the right side of the picture is the text “Standard uniforms” “uniforms have thistle embroidery” “thistles symbolize resilience and protection” “uniforms have room for several underlayers both for warmth and as protection against chafes” “uniforms vary slightly by region” “uniforms can be modified to accomodate discipline”. A larger illustration of the thistle pattern on the belt separates the text and the drawings. / End ID]
The thrilling sequel, the average fighter uniforms! Once again, flowers used to distance them from any real-world military stuff. I had so much fun making designs for these characters. Idk why but Corrival Deuce gives me major Captain Barnacles vibes, so that’s what I aimed for with his pose and friendly face. And I love Ghastly's mom so much I know so little about her yet I know she was a cool lady. I used gray for the uniforms, for several reasons: gray wasn’t commonly used in uniforms in the 18th century, the Sanctuary seems to like the color gray a lot and that would make the uniforms go from white to gray to black. Maybe the current day Cleaver uniforms could be based on the old uniforms? Once again, the uniform designs are obviously free to use with credit.
Corrival: Late again, are we, Rue?
Saracen: Yes. I hope I'm not pregnant.
I used to think Corrival Deuce was just a grumpy old man. And don’t get me wrong, he is.
But he’s also one of the very few people that Skulduggery shows any trace of respect for and is one of the few people Skul will listen to when he’s being called out
The list of people dead that called Skul out on his shit is getting so much longer
Wrote a small thing because I’m listening to the Mortal Coil audiobook and it made me laugh how much Corrival enjoys his retirement. Hope y’all like it!
The Dead Men are the bane of Corrival’s existence. He believes that. Truly. At least a little bit. Maybe.
The Dead Men are also hilarious.
Sadly, they know that and their egos are already big enough without Corrival encouraging their antics. He pinches his nose to buy himself time to fix his face into an appropriately unimpressed expression. While he’s at it, he allows himself a small smile.
When Corrival looks back at the Dead Men, Rue is grinning at him knowingly.
Corrival stares up at the ceiling: “One day, I’ll retire and I won’t have to deal with them anymore”, he tells himself.
“That explains why we’re sent on so many suicide missions”, Rue says and when Corrival looks at him with a raised eyebrow, he doesn’t even have the decency to look ashamed.
Corrival swears they line these responses up beforehand. There’s a new one every time he says what has over the course of the war become his mantra.
“I don’t think they’re that easy to get rid of”, Shudder cuts in. “Pleasant died and that doesn’t seem to have done you any good.”
“Ha!”, Corrival says before he can stop himself.
The Dead Men are all grinning at him now. Corrival can’t even fault himself for the reaction. He really does appreciate the use of ‘them’ as if Shudder were completely innocent in the Dead Men’s escapades.
Might be the best joke he’s heard all year.
Not good enough for a full-on laugh though. After all, there’s got to be something left for them to strive for. The Dead Men can do better. Corrival believes in them.
Headcanons about Skul's wife and child because I'm sad pleeeease?
Yes yes yes! 💖 (This is much more interesting than studying, so thanks for killing my boredom)
His wife was Ghastly’s cousin
Except he didn’t know that for ages
Like Ghastly’s mum
Skul’s wife was a warrior lady
She was really high up in the War
As in, helping Meritorious and Deuce with tactics
But don’t let that fool you
She wasn’t the type to sit in a meeting room while other people fought
She was out on the battlefield commanding armies
And fighting
So, Skulduggery met her in a meeting with Deuce this one time
She kinda just. Walked in
Fired a bunch of ideas at Deuce
Gave Skulduggery a nod of hello
Grabbed one of Deuce’s pieces of toast
And walked out
Skulduggery was smitten after that
And he was gushing about the beautiful warrior lady he’d just met for months
And then when they met again
They got along so well?
Because they’re both tactical and amazing on the battlefield
And where Skulduggery’s speech is full of jokes and mockery
She was more down-to-earth?
Like, she would make jokes
But they tended to be subtler and drier
Skulduggery found this hilarious
And she laughed a lot when she was around him
Which was something that made meetings with Deuce and Meritorious a nightmare for everyone else
Because they had a lot of inside jokes?
And it wouldn’t take much to trigger doubled-over laughter from both of them
A couple of months after they started dating
All the Dead Men were in a meeting with Deuce
And, once again, she walks in
And both Skulduggery and Ghastly say hi
And she says hi back
And Skulduggery and Ghastly are just looking at each other like
What?
How do you know her?
And that’s when Skulduggery found out she was Ghastly’s cousin
Of course, Ghastly found that wonderful
And started planning their wedding right away
But they didn’t get married until after they’d been dating for twenty years
They were scared of what might happen in the war
Given the fact that they were both high up
Capture and death was likely
And they were scared that marriage would make it even harder
But they ended up getting married anyway
About two years after
They had a daughter
And so his wife said that she would take some time off the battlefield
Still attending meetings and sorting out tactics
But not on the battlefield
So their daughter could be raised by a parent
And their daughter had the most adorable red curls
And Skul’s freckles
But she had her mother’s brown eyes
And face
And everyone just found her the cutest
And even as a little girl, she was really good at chess
Everyone was expecting her to be a military genius
Just like her parents
And she probably would’ve been, too
Except when she was eight
She was killed by Serpine
And the whole thing was supposed to be a case of three birds with one stone?
You’ve got Skulduggery and his wife
Two of the most feared military leaders alive
And their little daughter, who was expected to end up just as good
If not better
Than them
