DICENTRA ROUGH COSTUME DESIGN LEAKS
For those of you who have no idea what Dicentra is, please check out my page and you're sure to find my two I Wanna Write a Mikayuu Series parts there, but to put it simply... I am writing a book series. One that is inspired by Seraph of the End but is DRASTICALLY different. However, I am going to be using lots of the same core elements from Mikayuu's dynamic and unlike all the queerbaiters, I'm going to be making this a series that is unafraid of representation.
If you're interested, go check out my two posts and follow me if you want to keep up 😉 but in my last Dicentra post, I talked about potentially leaking some of my early character designs...
Well, here I am. And here you are. Look at us! Now, please keep in mind that I am no digital picasso. I did my best with the krita app I have on my computer. If you decide to repost these designs, please give me credit since they are my creations! Here are my three rough "livestock" uniform concepts for Epic, Kerenza, and Amaris (I have not completed Mikaela's yet):
So, for some background, colors are indicative of blood type in my universe. Green represents A, blue is O, red is AB, and purple would be B. I haven't added them onto these designs yet, but I'm going to be placing "cattle ID numbers" on the side of their skirts and pants, kinda like from TPN if you catch my drift. They have a thermal shirt on under the vest and in this universe the vampires force the children to draw their blood themselves. The arm wraps are made of a rubber material and the straps are meant to be tightened so the veins become more prominent. They're very uncomfortable to wear and the kids are almost always freezing.
Now, I also wanted to leak my rough concept for a human female uniform as well 😉 this one I haven't digitized yet, but just bear with me please. Think of this as something that Shinoa or Mitsuba or Epic would be wearing in this Dicentra universe:
For some background on this as well, I like to think that blue is "the most human color" if Regina Spektor has anything to say about it 😂 but I noticed that a lot of the humans at JIDA never really incorporated armor into their uniform, so I decided to try it out. Those are navy stockings under silver armor knee plates and the vest portion is exactly what it looks like, just a vest with the tell-tale human color of blue. The arms are covered from below the shoulder all the way to the wrists in flexible armor as well, and that little bow with the ruby on her neck? I want gemstones to indicate their ranking. Like how colors represent ranking in JIDA, gemstones will do the same. Like emerald is sergeant or topaz is lieutenant, that sorta thing.
So... there you have it friends! What do you think? Do you want me to keep posting when I gain more progress? Do you guys even care about this at all?
Am I talking to no one right now?
Please let me know! And if you choose to spread these pics around, please be kind and give me credit for it. I really want to make Dicentra possible because I'm sick of the lack of representation in our world. Same sex couples, trans couples, and all couples should be given the same amount of love and respect as any other couple.
Anyways, thank you and I'll see you next time 💖
