Any opinions on how Amaurotine children would dress? My take so far is giving them an undershirt like Lahabrea and shortening the hem to the knees. For warmth and letting kids run about.

finished my refs for the siblings! plus an alt robeless pebbles

#rain world #looks to the moon #five pebbles #art #fish makes art #oh yeah some tidbits: #pebbles isnt as heavily rusted becasue his robe protects him and also theres no rain and he usually doesnt get directly snowed on #moon gets necklaces and other accessories from various slugcats and scavengers #i redesigned their feet; they can stand but not walk now #the patterns on their robes are based on the geometric patterns in the ancients murals #also every iterator design of mine now has the X symbol somewhere on their clothing

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar winners

The Robe / Jean Simmons as Diana

Year: 1953

Designers: Charles LeMaire and Emile Santiago

I'm impressed that they managed to avoid the "bullet bra" silhouette, which was all the rage at the time. I also like the edging on the soft yellow dress; it creates a pleasing effect when the draped layers overlap.

My family used to jokingly refer to this movie as The Robe that Ate Richard Burton. It seemed a bit overwrought on our small TV. It must have been quite a spectacle on the big screen, though.

nielan headcanon: they have this joke that the other one will surely get gray hair first between the two of them. secretly nmj also thinks he'll get the first one too but will swear up and down outloud that lxc having to deal with the lan elders and being so generally polite and everything else lxc does will make him gray first. somehow this turned into them genuinely checking when they meet up (albeit casually, mostly just glancing for a moment), I think lxc gets the first one but up to you 👀

I headcanon that Nie Mingjue's hair starts going gray first, but Lan Xichen's hair turns white faster--NMJ is still only 10% gray ten years after his first gray hairs showed up, but Lan Xichen's hair started graying five years after NMJ's did, and his hair is snow-white five years later.

#asks #lxc starts dressing in more white than blue after his hair turns white #one day nmj is bathing in the cold spring and sees lxc coming out of the trees in white robes with no shoes on #he's like :D my love are you here for a bath too? #but lxc acts like he doesn't recognize him and nmj is ._.?? #it turns out lxc was trying to act out a “innocent traveler stumbles across powerful and ancient snow spirit in the woods” kind of scenario #and nmj did NOT catch on at first haha #nielan #lan xichen #nie mingjue

We see him come and know him ours

Russia: "Carol of the Russian Children," traditional // Kenya: The Nativity, Elima Njau // France: "Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella," Nicolas Saboly // Haiti: Madonna and Child, Ismael Saincilus // Australia: "The Three Drovers," William James // China: Tryptic by Lu Hongnian // Canadian/Algonquian: "Huron Carol," Jean de Brébeuf

#the visual depictions are lovely #but what really gets me every time are the little cultural details in the music #music that tells the story of the Nativity while placing it in a world that's familiar to the listener #fur robed moujiks on snowboard plateaus in place of middle eastern shepherds #bark lodges instead of stables and rabbit skin in place of swaddling clothes #wandering hunter and chiefs from far off places instead of shepherds and wise men (man i love the Huron Carol) #and little french girls running to gather the village to come see Jesus #it's easy for an excess of historical concern to make Jesus feel distant and far off #/I know/ that Jesus was born in the ancient near east and have had my fill of books and sermons and the like unpacking the implications #I've laughed with my friends and family at the wild inaccuracies of Nativity sets and tellings #the crazy blonde mary in the kids nativity set at Walmart #what is that alpaca doing at the living Nativity don't they know those are south American? #yada yada #and then i look at these carols and think. it's okay not to get mired in the history. good even #yes Jesus entered into time and space in a very specific manner #but he also came for all of us #as another carol says: we see him come and know him ours #i just think this practice is lovely #that the impact of the Incarnation was such that it send little french girls running to their villages #and drew algonquin hunters and russian peasants to the manger to see him #it's the great crowd of witnesses in a way #all of us together preparing him room throughout all the corners of the earth #in Bethlehem that night it was only the shepherds who got to see him #but in spirit it was all of us #because it's just like the angel said: #good news of great joy which will be to all people #to all people #starting with the shepherds and going out to all the earth #unto us a child is born #intertextuality

Okay but like who told G'raha it would be a good idea to put spikes on his hood near his eyes like that doesn't seem practical.

every time i remember "ingo is an ascian/ancient who literally forgot everything about that" it still kills me. so much staying power in the idea of the protagonists rocking up to ishgard having the worst day of their lives and there's a fucking ASCIAN just chilling waiting for them and they're like fucking dammit now we have to deal with THIS. and then he's not. like he's literally just chilling. he is so very much just some guy. and they're like why the fuck are you dressed like an evil wizard then and he's like they're comfy robes :(

#swift plays ff14 #the nemesis speaks #not that it makes sense for ingo to be dressed like an ascian if he is in fact the watcher as previously proposed #but this is so hysterical to me so idc. slight amendment to fashion senses that's just how all ancients dressed forever #so like naturally ingo wouldn't wanna change. ancients famously don't like having more than like #2 outfits conceptually and generally just the one #venat and themis greatest rebels ever wearing (checks notes) the same ass robe but in white #anyway the other slightly less funny more serious part 2 is irida pulling the thordan Thing w/ the eye #becoming a vessel for palkia etc. diff motives obviously but same outcome #and this completely destroys ingo naturally. bc he doesn't remember it but it's just his brother leaving him all over again #this would also be the point where the protags actually buy that he really isn't an evil space wizard #because he is IMMEDIATELY kill-it-with-fire the SECOND he sees a primal. not exactly ascian behavior #anyway. meaningless rambling over #edit: oh yeah they also find out then that he's immune to tempering which is like ok you're not evil but that's goddamn weird #but nobody has much time to properly register or consider it bc. they are fighting evil dragon irida. not much time to pause and chat

Anoixi - Spirit of Spring

Spirit of Spring, often referred to as Anoixi is an embodiment of one of the four seasons in the Shattered World. Their depiction, like every other season, varies from person to person, culture to culture etc. Some might depict them as a man, some as a woman, some as neither or both; some depict them as slender or muscular, or formless; more human-like, more beastkin-like, or as an indescribable horror.

Whatever the depiction, however, some things remain mostly the same - the mask, pink and teal color, as well as their signature javelin and shield."

This has to be the quickest concept to full art process I've ever done and I'm so proud of it aaaaa

musing on my “revan trained tarre vizsla” au train

tarre has funky green / red eyeballs because something something taung ancestry.  he’s also a solid foot and a half taller than revan (then again.  revan is like 5′2, so it all balances out. the bendu, if you will)

90% of their relationship is revan saying something and tarre being like “what the kriff how do you know all this”

#not entirely happy with tarre's design but they're also like. fifteen here. baby #also revan in absolutely massive master's robes is *very funny* #kotor #revan #tarre vizsla #star wars #star wars au #mandoblogging #mandalorians #also of note this is an AU where i ignore the revan novel and swtor in favor of #ancient unaging wandering jedi revan a la master fay #my art

Dean Cornwell's illustrations for The Robe novel by Lloyd C. Douglas

More info and sources below the cut

Although I haven't read the novel, the more famous film adaptation is one of my favorite Biblical movies to come from the 50s. It also received a spinoff sequel, Demetrius and the Gladiators. Jay Robinson chews as Caligula in both films, and Jean Simmons is stunning as Diana. I think Cornwell's illustrations are very cinematic; yet bright, sharp, and colorful in a way that only painting can be. It's a really amazing combination of pop culture and "fine arts." You can watch a short video of his process for these paintings below.
