A look at the Wind of the New World garment line

So this post will be longer probably. But it will be defrent from the post I made about the Constructivism in Concept, or the One Moment of Aria garment line. Here there are less specific refrencess for the most part, or things elements of the remind me of. So this post posably will be a mess. And in the end there is a bonnus one.

This garment line has two themes. Dreams, and vehicles. The skin line was discribed as what the chracters would be doing if the "storm" didn't existed. A lot of the informations will be from the 1.9 Aniversery live stream.

Voyager - New Journey

In the life stream it was said that here she is a traveling poet.

In the splash art the background reminds me to German expressionisum. I don't know why, but it reminds me to it. But it could also be surealism based, from the realistic gaint rabbit.

So I looked up about ridding a rabbit as a horse, and such for posable inspiration. I found a Grimm tale where a girl almost get's married to a Hare. But I also found found an ilustration from the 50s by Hilda McGavin. It might not be an inspiration of elves and a rabbit, but it's a nice little ilustration that I found.

2. Regulus - Take Off To The Future

So this will be probably a short one.

So Regulus's vehicles, is a combination of a submarine, and a plane. A flying submarine is a thing that people tryd to make, but faild. Posible ilustration.

3. Desert Flannel - Call of the Wild

So in the live stream Australian art was mentiond, but for some reason I don't really see it. They posably were refering to the Emu's on the air ballon.

So she is now advebturing in the Australian wilderness.

4. Mesmer JR - A Day to Rest

Mesmer in her splash art she is ridding a penny farthing. The penny fathing was invented in 1871 by British engineer, James Starley. This bicycle got it's name from the two deffrent sized wheels. The front wheel was bigger and was likend to a penny, and the reat wheel that was small was compared to a farthing, whci was a quarter of a penny.

5. Jessica - Voyage From Your Bed

So she is dressed up as a sailer, who is sailing on her bed in a dream. A little fantasy.

Okey. I'm not saying that it's an inspiration, or a possible insiparation, or is based on it. But for some reason to me, one of the first things that come to my mind about this skin (especially the splash art) was Little Nemo in Slumberland. If someone doasn't know Little Nemo in Slumerland was originally a newspaper comuc strip was first published in the Sunday comics section of The New York Herald newspaper in 1905, and was made by Winsor McCay an American cartoonist and animator, who is also the creator of Gertie the Dinosaur, aka one of the first animation that was made with keyframs. In 1911 Winsor McCay made a few short animations about the comic.

Little Nemo in Slumberland is also called as a "unrealised Ghibli" movie. Well known Japanise anime producer Yutaka Fujioka wanted to creat a movie that was a Japanise American co-production. For a time Hayao Miyazaki worked on the project, but ended up leaving it among many staff members. Yutaka Fujioka also aproched George Lucas, Chuck Jones too. The movie had multiple defrent pilots, but a lot of them become lost media. Many animators and artists worked on they own Little Nemo project with no menegment, or direction, so because of this it's esstimated that 5-6 hours of footage got lost, and there is a really big chence that most, or at least many of it will never will be found.

I'm not saying that the skin is based on it. It just reminds me to this.

Bonuse 6. Sonetto - Overlapping Worlds

In the live stream it wa said that this skinns are what the characters would be doing if the "storm never happand". So it's safe to say from this skin that this is what Sonetto would be doing if the "strom" never happand. Posably be a poet, or a writer in Sicily.
