hello!!! sorry for the late response!

first of all thank you for reaching out to me I am honored!

I really wish I had access to the original file of that artwork so i could tell you if i had any reference pictures, but I think a lot of the designs I came up with were just brewed in my imagination. I remember being inspired by viking/nordic style imagery and I think there is also a studio ghibli influence (nausicaa, princess mononoke).

My advice for getting better at clothing design would be to draw fanart of characters whose designs you love. If you are specifically talking about designing historical/fantasy outfits, look at the clothing of old artworks and try redraw it with other characters wearing it, I think the more you are exposed to it the more your brain is able to pull different elements from things youve seen (and practiced) to create something original.

When drawing that zelda artwork I did not care if things made sense or were 'realistic' I was moreso experimenting with shapes and colours, and I had a lot of fun with it!
