'The Soiree' by Vittorio Reggianini a la Mothman
To practice digital painting and rendering, and develop my own art style, I started a project series where I repaint traditional paintings as fanart!! I just finished Sons and Sonsablity by @dungeonsanddaddies , so I had to paint the esteemed Mothman Sisters ( ^^)

July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)
Vanity Fair / Reese Witherspoon as Becky Sharp
In this scene, Becky discovers that she is bankrupt, nearly has all her possessions seized, and accepts money from a nobleman to pay her bills, getting into an even worse sort of debt.
There's a great writeup of the costumes for this movie at the Costume Vault blog, here. I'll quote a significant passage: "Color wise the designs for Becky center around a very simple idea: the base color for her is red, and depending on her social and emotional state her dresses have more or less red in them. The happier and more comfortable she is, the more red is included within the costume. However, when she is drifting away from her goals or plainly unhappy, her dresses go to darker and grimmer colors." So here, you can see that she is not doing particularly well, being dressed almost entirely in blue--but there is just a thread of red going through it to show that there is still a tiny bit of hope, perhaps.
Her necklace, much like the one worn with her red ball gown, resembles a chain. This is almost certainly also symbolic!

Can you find the mend?
I found this blouse at a thrift store and thought it would work perfectly for a chemisette for the regency inspired pieces in my wardrobe. Little did I know there were tears in the collar! What to do? Especially since the blouse material is so thin and lacy?
After digging through my basket o' scraps, I pulled out a torn cotton handkerchief made of thin, light material and thought it would be perfect!
I patched up the tears and holes in the collar with very delicate stitches 😅 so far, when i wear it and ask people if they can find the repair, they can't!

January: Red Redux
Vanity Fair / Reese Witherspoon as Becky Sharp
This movie attracted attention with its bold-colored, Indian-influenced costume design. While colored dresses certainly were worn in the 1810s, I have my doubts about the authenticity of this particular vivid shade of red. Still, it definitely makes a visual impression, especially with the spangles. The shape of the trim on the sleeves makes me think of the horns on a Halloween devil costume, which may be entirely intentional.
The hairstyle is ... quite something. I don't think anything that elaborate is strictly period for the 1810s either, but my compliments to the hair and makeup department for constructing it!
And while we're at it, I'm not sure about that necklace either. So really, very little of the costume is strictly period-accurate, but it does work purely as a costume.
