#outfit design

That’s a savvy rabbit, the kind I’m used to eat carrots and wrinkle their little nosies!

Why not put Juno in a cute superhero mask?

electro-folk AU Felicjan got inspired by Ukraine’s Eurovision entry the vibes…

Naan stealer

I drew him in so many outfits

Gotta be sure it fits his cape ;3

Graphite and gold

I Got inspired by african elegant attire. I made an outfit for my dnd character but wanted to make more experiments.

Monkey King being akward at the fancy setting.

I think I made a decision on how to dress Monkey King for offical occasions.

“He tried to escape. Again”

Outfit commissions for @saltbard for their oc, Leonard! Congratulations to him; he just got engaged while I was working on the illustration!! ✨

Snape’s outfit from this week’s page of Dastardly Lemondrops.

He’s actually worn a version of this outfit before, the last time he interacted with Harry in his classroom. It’s one of my favorites for him, as simple as it is, so I wanted to have a reference sheet for it for whenever he’s wearing it in my comic.

Aurora and Minerva’s outfit’s from this week’s page of Dastardly Lemondrops.

Even though I only drew them in black and white in the comic, I really wanted to color these outfits. I feel like they might wear them again in the future, and Aurora’s space-themed purple cowboy shirt is not something I want to forget.

I started playing D&D with some friends recently, and made this character! (I’m the DM so I can’t actually play him, but shhh…) His name is Mangkhut (mangosteen), and he’s a shifter monk. I designed his outfit using signature Hmong traditional wear as inspiration, which features black clothing embroidered with detailed, colorful bands, and silver bells and jewelry as accents.

I based his faceplate on the Thai interpretation of Hanuman, who is king of the monkeys and a master of martial arts.

Just finished this art of my OC, Jira! He’s my main OC and sort of serves as my persona in many cases, so I’m super excited to be able to share this drawing. Since this is my first time posting him on this blog, I’m going to talk about his history and share a *bunch* of drawings under the cut (as well as WIP images from this drawing).

Text on his shorts says เสือทอง, or “golden tiger”, and he’s carrying bagged soymilk with tapioca, which is a common way to get soymilk in thailand!

The idea for this drawing is one I’ve had in my head for a few months, but wasn’t sure I’d be able to pull off since I don’t have a lot of practice with perspective shots. I sort of wanted to give him a “casually defiant” look, as well as taking the opportunity to design a fun outfit based around colorful muay thai shorts. Unlike myself, I envision Jira as someone who primarily wears shorts (often with an incongruous top like a long coat), so I love designing his outfits because of the unique balance shorts give.

[ID: Two sketches from previous stages of the first drawing, one being a rough full-body sketch and the other being a refined sketch from the torso-up. end ID]

(^ I like his face in this sketch better than the final, lol…) I’m super happy with how this drawing turned out, especially the coloring and shading. I normally have the instinct to put my shading and highlights on another layer (borne from years of drawing art for petsites…), but I painted all the colors and shading on one layer and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I also added some sort of clip studio filter which gave everything a slight amount of color variance, which looks really cool!

Now, about the character himself: I made this guy back in about 2016 when I was getting back into Animal Crossing for the second time. I needed a secondary character for storage, so I invented Jira (who at the time was named 6480 since that was the username I was starting to switch over to), and gave him a connection to my then-main character (plum/Clove, who I’ll post about later) by way of a sort of flirty friendship. I thought it would be cool if they were like, friends who had houses on opposite sides of the same river and waved to each other and ate breakfast together and held hands and like….. yeah

Jira is super important to me for a ton of reasons, mostly because he developed as I grew up and the transition I made towards using him as my persona instead of Clove represented a lot of changes in my life and my personality. As he developed and I needed to name him, I decided to make him Thai (he started out inadvertently white cause there was only one skintone in ACNL… cringe), which marked a point in time where I became more invested in my cultural background. When I made him a trans man, it represented that I had become more comfortable and proud of my transness. His personality, which was more casual and open than Clove’s, marked the change in my own personality and growth in confidence. And I was able to explore my own ideals of relationships through the one he had with Clove.

Now, it’s 2020 and my new Animal Crossing game has him as my main character and Clove (as well as a couple others) as my alternate! I’m super glad to be able to look back on this and mark the ways I’ve changed over the years, and it’s really interesting that both of my personas since 2014 have been because of the AC franchise.

Here’s some sketches (I haven’t actually made formalized art of him until now, except for one drawing as an anthro monkey which I will not be sharing rofl):

[ID: Black and white sketches of Jira with more realistic proportions. In one he’s wearing a very similar outfit as the first image in this post; in the other he’s wearing a raincoat, a cowboy hat, and shorts that almost reach the hem of the coat. end ID]

[ID: Colored bust sketch of Jira in an orange shirt. end ID]

Aaaaand I think that’s all the good art I have of him. I’m not expecting anyone to have read this far but uhm THANK YOU if you did… you’re my number 1 fan… Don’t judge what I said in this post too harshly, *so what* if I base my personality around a character that only exists in my own head? Anyways, have a great day, and thanks for reading my rambling!
