So, I redesigned the Hogwarts uniforms! 🌈

for those who don't know, me and a small group of people have banded together in the name of pride to do an inclusive rewrite of Hogwarts- or as our au/rewrite is called, Whore-warts. This is all for shits and giggles. It's also good art practice for me and others in the group!

I saw in the cannon uniform that there weren't lots of customization options for the skirts or pants. so I started with making three versions of the skirts and pants. Short, medium, and long.

as for the cloaks I made 4 different types. Regular, Formal, short, and Winter.

while I do love a good cloak I do like some variation ✨

onto ✨ 💜 colors 💜 ✨

I was talking to my little group and on a vc call one of them pointed out that there should be a dark version of the uniform shirts those who preferred darker colors can have the darker colors. I also took it upon myself to help Ravenclaw because BROWN? as an accent color to BLUE? honey- no- so I gave raven claw a silver accent like Slytherin. that also balanced with the two other houses Griffindor and Hufflepuff that both have yellow/gold in their color scheme.

here is the light version ✨

(I also made the ties look a little more fun by cropping them and making them bigger!)

This is the dark version! ✨

ignore the large gap that's for the cloaks.

SPEAKING OF CLOAKS. the reason why I made more types is because while I, and the rest of the Whore-warts crew love a good cloak we also like some variety. ya know? some flavor while also slaying and serving.

So I made regular, the normal type that you see in the movies.

Then I made the formal cloak. it is specially worn in the special events like when the new 1st years arrivals and the sorting hat- ritual- does that classify as a ritual?

anyways I also made a short cloak because while long and flowing cloaks are cool- they aren't the best for spring and summer. So the short cloak is to give the aesthetic of having some flow in the uniform outfit, it also doesn't cause the character to die of heatstroke.

Then there is my personal favorite, winter. I hade so much fun making the fluffy winter coat. no more commentary needed. It's just nice, and I love it.

and the winter cloak will come in the post right after this because I ran out of image space on this- whoopsie!

UPR uniform of "blue divisions" of 1918 period (Синньожупанник)

maybe it's just the former jrotc nerd in me but i do find the uniform design in kings (2009) fascinating; their palace guards look like they stole their coats from local marines, while the rest of them seem to have copied the design of an enlisted army soldier's coat (has the epaulets that an officer's coat lacks) perfectly but w/ different coloration & fewer patches on the sleeves (ranks, overseas time, years in service, etc.). i don't quite understand the difference between people who wear white shirts and people who wear the dark blue, but the dark blue looks sick and i would like to propose its (or similar colored shirts) further use in military settings either fictional or otherwise (coolness factor 10). furthermore, their rank pins are like the military gave the costume team their homework but told them not to copy it exactly; inverted chevrons on the sleeve and a weird bastard combination of regular army officer ranks (two silver bars for a captain) and army jrotc ranks (when jack shows up as a major, he's wearing one diamond on each epaulet, which is exactly how jrotc units do it).

overall quite aesthetically pleasing to the casual eye but a little bit awkward to think about if you think about it too hard; they look like an army / marine corps jrotc unit that's trying to be both fantasy and regular military but keeps getting told no, resulting in the creation of some bastard child of all three (aka the gilboa military).

(trying not to think about the gath military rn but might tack on a rb with my thoughts later)

A concept I had in mind for the Yuyan archers in the Legend of Korra era with more modern uniforms and weapons.

( check at Vachir for comparison)

Few points:

The idea of a short jacket with a darker thick border and a red piece on the left side of the neck, the color is less bright and it's asymetrical with shorter leaves ( instead of tugging longer ones in the arm protections).

The blouse is now a thin turtleneck top, following every movement.

Exit the "skirt" parts of the bottom, which is the same pants but with pockets - who doesn't need pockets?-

A tactical tight pouch when pockets aren't enough.

The arm protections are now on both arms.

Belt with the usual "triangle" symbol.

You also have it on the head piece but not the knot and the tissue anymore, it wasn't practical.

The boots are now hight instead of short ones with bandages. It also have the separated thumb toe form that we can see in the RC police uniform. The Yuyan were shown to be kinda "acrobatic" so I figured it'd help them to be more stable, comfortable and agile.

Big ass mechanical bow, more powerful than the classic one and with features to help targetting.

The arrows are basically the same I guess?

The quiver can be wear on the back and on the side of the leg ( hold by the belt) depending on the current needs.

EDIT: winter version added for special occasions.

EDIT 2: FInally added the tatoo. However I wonder if it's still a tatoo in LOK era and not a make up item, like a temporary one. Also if it's a real tatoo I hc them having to shave their eyebrow the first time they receive it.

Also for those who want a mount, rhinos are only for parades, we have motos now. Like the ones of Bongo and his barbarians.

To sum up, they were the secret weapon of the Fire Nation back in Ozai's times, bow I see more them like an elite troop, acting as bodyguards for important members of the political sphere and for special operations. They use their historical uniforms and mounts for shows and parades, being a well known attraction for tourists ( a bit like the Queen's (lol calling them the King's guards is hard) guards for example, but remaining trained soldiers.
