Hello! Sorry in advance if this has already been answered somewhere. I really admire the way that you design outfits for your characters and wanted to ask if there were any reference sources that you recommend for designing D&D-ish fantasy outfits. Have you just picked up trends/patterns over time? Are there a certain time periods or fashion eras that you like to emulate in your designs? Media that has inspired the designs? Thanks for sharing your amazing art with us!!

Hey there!

No apologies needed, you'd be the first to ask me this (that I remember in the last couple of years, at least)

I think my biggest suggestion to anyone who wants to design outfits for characters--fantasy or not--is to first do some studying on how clothing is structured, as well as historical and/or regional fashion. Whether that's taking a class or just going through various medias that cover the topic, such knowledge helps you get an overall roundness on the basics of how clothes work, how they can be applied to the human figure, and just why certain fashions became in vogue via the times, emotions, economies, psychology and culture they reflected. All which can then serve as inspiration and guidance on how to go about clothing your made up person/society/etc, because after all: not only do we dress ourselves to reflect our own individuality, but people have been doing that for generations before us. Whether it's the fabric used or the shape of the silhouette, clothes tell a story! And a lot of it is interesting!!!

Also, the more you understand clothing, the more believable and strong your designs will present themselves.

(You'll also suffer the curse of recognizing how inaccurate a lot of historical TV shows and movies are with their depictions of costuming, then have to stifle this down so as not be obnoxious to those around you! Yay!!)

When it comes to designing fantasy things though, the best part of drawing from reality and historic fashion is you can have references without the feeling of having to be entirely beholden to accuracy (while still--I should hope--being respectful enough to avoid borrowing more personal aspects of cultures who may not appreciate parts of their identity being used without knowledge/context applied). I often like to mix and match different time period/regional aesthetics and mesh them into something that becomes seemingly familiar yet unique enough to call my own, and it seems to pay off in the long run.

Aside from that, I like to keep in mind the practicality of an outfit--why is it being worn and what is its purpose?--while also making sure it defines the most important aspects of my character, as well as has a nice shape/sillhouette. After that, aesthetics, personal enjoyment, easter eggs, and overall fun make up the rest of the designing process. Be sure to indulge once in awhile, if not always if that's your vibe!

On that note: I personally like to depict western clothing between the 15th-early 20th century, with the Georgian and Edwardian era being my favorite. Though, thanks to my VtM game, I've definitely grown a deeper appreciation and affection for the 20s more 'recently' and with Curse of Strahd, I've been having a ton of fun getting more familiarized with Slavic and Eastern European clothing. I have a lot of CoS NPCs that need designing (and I'd like to do a fashion zine for Barovia someday, so I've been doing a lot of research as of late...)!

If I'd have to give credit to any media that's inspired my own designs, I'd have to say Odin Sphere (or any fantasy based Vanillaware game, really) is always there in the back of my mind when I'm tackling a fantasy look. I'm absolutely blanking on anything else, but i'm sure there's plenty of inspiration that subconsciously sits in my brain just Ratatouille-ing my hand when I decide to design things AHAHAH~ I'm sure once this is posted, it'll all come rushing to me...

This has gone on pretty long and I admittedly feel like an unqualified egomaniac after yapping as much as I have, but I hope this helps, if not offers some overall insight on my own process! Thank you so much for your inquiry and kind words, I'm so glad you enjoy my stuff and look forward to supplying you more in the future! :,3c <3

When Natsume asks Matoba why his sister hates him, his reply is "It's because I was the one who kept being chosen" which is an interesting phrasing.

Family favouritism aside, what if the Matoba clan eye yokai is actually the one picking the clan leader... What if it attacks the one it deems most worthy... It would explain the weird obsession the clan has with keeping it around. That way, they make sure their leader is always the most powerful in the clan. To bear the yokai's target is a badge of honour...

What if that's how Matoba Seiji got his eye injury. Picturing him at 21 or 22 years old expecting the yokai to attack the previous leader as it normally does only for the yokai to attack him instead. Imagining how that felt, knowing that meant he was currently the most powerful in his clan, that he had surpassed his predecessor, and that all of their burdens were now his to bear.

What if that's why he was so weirdly insistent about Natsume joining the clan.Pretty messed up but he probably saw an out for the first time in forever. Someone out there with the potential to be more powerful than he is. Someone who could both save the clan and free him.

Also...what about his non-reply to Natori asking him if he ever considered quitting? His question came right after Matoba said something about Natsume taking care of the whole situation by himself. What if that was Natori's way of saying he knows what Matoba was up to? He did (assumedly) read the letter Matoba wrote to Natsume after all. And now Matoba knows that he knows, though he probably had his doubts after the paper doll situation. And he doesn't reply, because what do you even say to that?

The Batfam and team Phantom are both notorious for being very competitive at board games.

Someone should’ve mentioned this beforehand.

No one did though.

And now marks four hours of a game of your choice.

Love is played with, hearts are broken, and Damian is very interested in whatever knife monopoly is.
