Here's my take on the Septarians' fashion.
The canon jeans-and-tank-tops look for the Septarians always felt off to me. Why does such an ancient, proud, non-hybrid race have zero visual culture?
My headcanon fix: the jeans are their "present-day" survival gear. It's a visual cue that their glory days are over, their state is gone, and they're just wearing whatever they can find.
So I asked myself: what did they look like before the fall? In my headcanon, there's an earlier chapter — when they still had a cohesive culture, a proper army, a hierarchy.
Presenting a fragment of that lost time:
Toffee in a ceremonial look. This moment is from the end of an era: Seth's funeral. The grand state was already a memory. All that remained was a nomadic war-camp, the last bastion of a fading order.
Rasticore, his right hand and one of the best warriors in the ranks. I kept hints of his original, more modern design but reforged it to fit this older, more intentional aesthetic.
These are just my first concepts of their "historical" style. I want to develop a coherent, recognizable look that echoes what they once were.
Anyway, I'm deep in this hyperfixation. Consider this account my attempt to piece their culture back together from the ground up. 🔨🦎
Ah, grumpy faces…
