#cynikka

still heavily into KCD2 but yk the insanity that geopolitical minecraft causes me 💔 but i was also playing the new update for CK3 and they added an option for SEA kingdoms wc was so awesome and an influence to Cynikka's design! Most pre-colonial Filipinos did not wear headdresses unless you were from the far north/south so I just put that element in to complete her more Tagalog look. Fun fact: blue dye very hard to produce and is usually created to be a more indigo look in precol times. Also blue birds are considered magical due to the fact that they didn't appear very often in nature att.

Flux's fit is near impossible to exist bc of the very existence of purple AND black dye alone. I designed him to have a typical low-key pourpoint but it being in purple and black.... Idk perhaps he got that nepo money from Elaneulo LOL

Speaking of dyes... The expensive red dye (kermes) comes from some lice in the Mediterranean. Which was kind of hilarious to me but Schpood having rich red for his Roman theme + Mediterranean was too good to pass.

Very obvious where I got the design for Saps, Schpood and Turntapp (especially) designs r pulled a lot from KCD2 characters (iykyk)

A lot of women in general att had their hair up but I figured Cass would be a firm and wild spirit enough to leave it down ♥️ her dress r from the art nouveau insp by Norse fashion to show her progressiveness. The flowers to symbolize how her kingdom thrived ^__^ 🌸
