German Maiden in a Dress circa 1000s
This is anime drawing I made a couple of months. It features a maiden with a fancy decorated dress. It took about two hours to draw. Most of the drawings I usually make do not take long to complete. I have been brainstorming to make new paintings and the like. I am just drawing a bit of a blank. Today, it is the day we have to head out in the gym and I am not too up to it, but whatever. It is still a couple of hours till then. I only bothered because there is a pokestop and...
German lady in a dress circa 1890
Here is another one of my pretty maidens drawing. I am always trying new stuff to improve the final product. As you may have noticed, I am a bit of a mixed media kind of person. Well, those who have been reading enough of my work know that I just repeated myself. Then again, there is only so much one can say about the matter. I am always coming up with new things to rant about. It might be a bit more useful if I had some professional drawing training. I was going to enter Art school, but at the...
German Lady in a golden dress circa 1000
Well, this is just one of my newest anime drawings. I have settled down on the anime style. Still, my drawings looks different than those of the average mangaka artist. The main thing is that I tend to sketch a lot from life. My people for the most part are anatomically correct, except for the face. These days finding people to sketch from life is hard. Artist models were super cheap in the old days. These days if you want to sketch someone they usually refuse and get all paranoid. It is even worse for men. They ask ladies to...
German Lady in a dress circa 1000s
This is one of the relatively newest drawing that I made. It is a German lady wearing a period dress. I think it belongs to the 1000s. Dressed like the ones worn by this maiden are known as Elven dresses. If you google elven dress, you will probably run into many that resemble this ones. Most elven maidens in the fantasy worlds wear the same attires. There are some regional variance. For example, I remember seeing elven maidens wearing leaf clothing. Then again, leaf and flowers is the usual attire worn by fairy people. Fairies do not get much attention...
Anime Girl in a Czech girl Costume circa 1000s
The dates I normally put on these drawings are a bit of approximation. Most sourcebooks and books on the subject can only give a cursory view on each outfit. There was a lot of regional variations and the like. There are also costumes that are endemic to just specific villages. So, when I say, Czech you must take it with a grain of salt. The Czech people used to get around. This was the Celtic way. Along their trips they used to trade and pillage a lot of people. Celtic maidens were bound pick up fashion trends from other maidens...
