a small start: I’m slowly getting back into digital art, and started off with drawing Diana in a variety of outfits / looks! In this one, I recreated the formal dress she wears in chapter 38, based on modern patadyong (Filipino dress).
excerpt with its description in the novel below:
Opulence might have been fitting had she been older and more settled into her role as queen, fashion high as a full moon’s tides and heavy as its crashing waves upon the shore, but such gravitas then would have held her down.
There was weight still to her outfit—her matching bright indigo top and wrapped patadyong both stiff—but not too much weight; so that when Diana emerged in the front hall once more, she moved with as much animation as ever, her sheer and gold-patterned longer underskirt seeming to float even in the air, the subtle patterning waves ever-shifting as she moved, the ocean roiling around her ankles. A thick scarf draped across her chest in a curved v-shape, tight-pulled around her shoulders, but that did little to restrict movement either.
One last time before she had to depart, Diana and Karyn embraced, the world warming around them. Just one final kiss, as promised, and then Diana departed for the council.
