Cassandra Appreciation Month - Prompt Week - Day 2: Moonstone
Pulled out the paint markers for this one!
Unfortunately, this piece does lose much of its charm in photo format. In person it glimmers!
Definitely should have used thicker paper for this but umm... sometimes what was supposed to be a quick test becomes a full piece and what can you do? XD
As promised, the next in my series, historically inspired Cassandra! She was a lot of fun but also a lot of agony to design
Further explanations under the cut!
Once again, these are all roughly 1780s, except for the armour and her moonstone outfit, for different reasons
Her handmaiden dress is a robe a l'anglaise, although much simpler than Rapunzel's season 1 dress. The gold colour still denotes her standing, as the Captain of the guard's daughter, and as one of the higher-ranking servants. I would have put an apron on her as well, but she was a lady in waiting, not a maid. She also has a cap on, as women in the period pretty much always wore a hat or a cap of some sort
Keeping Cass' short hair felt integral to the character, although neither women nor men kept their hair short. To split the difference, I have her hair in the distinctive rolls at the side of the head, which come down in her transformation. And for imagery reasons, it then stays down
Her casual/season 1 outfit is a mixture of the typical man's outfit of the period, but with a feminine redingote instead of a typical coat worn by men. While they weren't usually this short, I did find an example of one that was. I wanted to create a unique shape for all her outfits, and figured this best mimicked the tunic look. The gloves are based off gloves soldiers might wear at the time, and would likely be leather
By the 1780s, and even by the century in general, armour was absolutely just not in style. Really, Tangled best fits a medieval look, maybe the 1500s, but 1780 is the year that comes up, and I but follow orders. Cass' armour is based off two specific images of a Prussion general in the early part of the century. Since she finds it on their journey, it can be a little archaic. The gloves are once again likely just simple leather
Due to the simplicity of the moonstone armour, it doesn't follow any historical clothing. Mostly the idea is that it grew over her armour, which is why it's trying to have a similar silhouette - also why I had it jut out at the hips a bit.
Her end outfit is literally just a normal men's outfit for the time, although with a male redingote. The gloves are fencing gloves, and the different shapes are taken from an actual example. Instead of a necklace, she wears a cravat, and the ribbon from her handmaiden cap is tied around her arm
The normal sword she carries is a sidesword, and the rock sword is a greatsword. Due to the large array of weaponry she has, it's reasonable to expect she knows how to use both
I didn't draw the extra dagger she has, although she still has it on her somewhere at all times, just hidden away
