Pepperly thank you so much!! these are exactly the kind of references i was looking for. i hadnt even thought to look up costumes (and it was pretty cool to read about haute couture too, lately ive been wondering where that came from)
Hello, one and all! Here's a simple forum idea:
So, I had a want and thought maybe others would too! I know sometimes I have trouble designing outfits for my characters, especially ones with different tastes than mine, and my thought was in such a community as Toyhouse some artists/design enthusists might have some handy dandy outfit references up their sleeve!
Use this forum to share some outfit references you have, look for some ideas and maybe even ask for help on outfiting a character?
If you have a tag on tumblr, or a blog you turn to or any other sort of place you get ideas for outfits please share! I'm sure there are plenty of others with need for inspiration
I could really use some good looks for Amvira besides her usual vest + long sleeve shirt combo. She's my main character and I basically have only one outfit for her and I'm also woefully uncreative for fashion, so basically if you have ANY ideas for anything that fits with her lemme know :O
http://pajuxiii.tumblr.com/tagged/fashion here is my tumblr fashion tag that i've been gathering up over the years and is my inspiration resource! its mostly modern fashion but theres some vintage/fantasy/avante garde thrown in, my main goals in the clothing i gather is just interesting ideas or interesting silhouettes/ garmet construction as small pieces of inspiration! its pretty funny seeing the changes from the ref to design, for example this http://pajuxiii.tumblr.com/post/151168925866/koreanmodel-han-hye-jin-kim-won-kyung-by-hong being the inspiration for the kitsune design here http://kiwi-adopts.deviantart.com/art/HALLOWEEN-DAINTY-TRIO-CLOSED-640508818 i just liked the cut of the top/ having a band across the bottom LAUGHS
but anywho any of the blogs reblogged from are awesome too, my favorite is probably koreanmodel because it has the more interesting builds but tokyo-fashion and notordinaryfashion are awesome as well!
I have an old pinterest with some outfit ideas on it!
