A long time ago, I had the idea of redesigning the uniforms of the Magic Knight squads for the (many) next gen ocs that me and my friends have. I thought it would be fun for the squads to each have a unique article of clothing for the squads' uniforms, to make each group a little more unique beyond their colors.
With the help of my beloved friend Steph ( @cringeyvanillamilk ), that idea has now come to fruition! I commissioned her for all the art you are to see.
And modeling the redesigned uniforms are mine and my friends' next gen ocs.
Representing the Golden Dawn is @lyranova's oc, Alistar Vangeance.
For the Black Bulls is @eme-eleff's oc, Hikari Yami.
Wearing the Crimson Lion King's uniform is @thoughtfullyrainynightmare's oc, Leonidas Vermillion.
From my own collection of ocs and representing the Blue Rose Knights is Dawn Faust.
The representative for the Aqua Deers is also my oc, Merel Faust.
The Silver Eagle's uniform is worn by @koneko-pi's oc, Avalinia Silva.
Representing the Coral Peacocks is @sailor-muno's oc, Bellini Fortuna.
Showing off for the Green Praying Mantises is @faewraithsworld's oc, Sullivan Vixen.
And the model for the Purple Orcas is another of @/faewraithsworld's ocs, Zoisite Ideale.
The CLK and GPM's uniforms have different versions that can be worn by the squad members. As seen below.
Thank you to Steph for taking my commission. And thank you to all my lovely friends for allowing me to turn your next gens into some gorgeous models!
Further notes about the uniforms below the cut.
Golden Dawn: they wear full body coats that are meant to be worn open. Squad members can have tassels added to their coats so they can be tied close if they so choose.
Black Bulls: they're not wearing leather jackets. It's standard fabric, that's all. Jacket length is somewhat adjustable though longer jackets are avoided to steer clear of having the same silhouette as the Golden Dawn.
Crimson Lion Kings: the sashes are sewn so that squad members don't have to wrap the fabric over their shoulder and around their waist every time they don their uniform.
Blue Rose Knights: it's a short cape already attached to a shirt. You'd just put it on like a regular shirt and hope that you don't get the cape in your face as you put it on.
Aqua Deer: it's a scarf, plain and simple. The ends of the scarf are to be a clean cut.
Silver Eagles: this squad retains the original form that a majority of the squad robes have in canon, a short mantle with an long cape attached. For the next gen's version, the fluff of the mantle was made a smaller component so that the feathers can be the main focus, instead of being mostly equal parts fluff and feather.
Coral Peacocks: a waist sash with the end of the fabric being shaped to resemble the tail feathers of a peacock.
Green Praying Mantises: arm sleeves that can just cover the forearms or cover the upper arms too. There's also a version with a slit in the sleeves in case there are squad members who don't want to wear the form fitting sleeves.
Purple Orcas: a vest with pointed hems reminiscent of the triangular shape of the squad robe worn by the previous generation. There are buttons on the vest so they can be worn open or closed to a squad member's preferences. (And most members tend to wear a shirt under the vest. Zoisite only wears his uniform this way because he can.)
Alistar: Would your rather: die or-
Dusk: Oh definitely dying.
Mikhail: You didn't even hear the second option!
Dusk: I still choose it.
Zoisite: What's the other option, Al?
Alistar: Fighting with your parents.
Dusk: I choose death.
Leon: Please wait. Do you mean "fight" as in "argue" or "fight" as in "a physical altercation"?
Alistar: I meant an argument to be honest.
Zois: Guys, this is Dusk, I think arguing with his parents would send him into cardiac arrest. So he'd still die! No offense.
Dusk: None taken. Though I would've said a stroke-
Zois: Nah, it's your heart that would give out.
Mikhail: Can we *not* imagine Dusk suffering a severe medical emergency?
Leon: Fair enough. Although... What would be the cause of death for the "death" option?
Alistar: Hm... I just kinda assumed the idea of collapsing dead out of nowhere.
Zois: Damn, you can't give Dusk a cool death?
Alistar: Alright then, I'm deeply sorry for not elaborating on a hypothetical death scenario!
Mikhail: (looks into the camera) These guys are supposed to be my seniors? Give me a break.
.....
Alistar is @lyranova's oc.
Dusk is my own oc.
Mikhail is @koneko-pi's oc.
Zoisite is @faewraithsworld's oc.
Leon is @thoughtfullyrainynightmare's oc.
Zoisite: Do you mean like deep fried or pan fried?
Dusk: Wh-what kind of question is that?
Mikhail: A valid one. My brain has an air fried feel today.
Alistar: I think I’m deep fried today.
Leonidas: Honestly same. Like you are all stoked before-
Alistar: And now that you’ve cooled off, your thoughts feel kinda crunchy!
Leonidas: Exactly!
Zoisite: My brain is honestly more pan fried.
Dusk: (trembling and shaking his head) What language are you guys speaking?!
……….
Zoisite, Mikhail, Alistar, and Leonidas belong to @faewraithsworld, @koneko-pi, @lyranova, and @thoughtfullyrainynightmare respectfully. Dusk is my own oc.
