Been slowly working on my Mage, Ophiel, and it came time to do some outfit variation for her. I was working directly with a blue pen cause that helps me sketch, and I colored with three alcohol markers just because I needed to see some values. Working on outfits helps me understand what the character is like, usually - a reminder of the years I spent doing costume design in school.
(Of course, Tumblr cropping got me lmao. Please click on the pictures to see the whole thing. I will put some notes on the fits below the read more.)
Here they areee.
The first outfit is actually a better variation of what I'd originally made for her. Considering that she, as a character, started as a Lord Kakophonist, I wanted to have something that would make you think "ah yes of course. Slaneesh had a hand in this". The tattoos used to be eyes and tentacles, to kinda reflect this, and she used to have three braid (which got cut down to two). After establishing a general style for her, I just started to think about what she does, and what she does is she frequents her city's nightlife quite happily - and she fights. She is not a good person; she has a history of trading her services (beating people up) in exchange for varied substances, and she does so cheerfully, because she is so goddamn bored all the time, and the rush of adrenaline makes her feel alive. (I made a joke, with friends, that's she's like Zenos if Zenos was poor and had substance abuse issues. They're kinda similar on that end.)
Second outfit is what she wears at work; she works at a music store named the Timelost Records (lmao), and she just. Doesn't care enough to put on her face or look the part, not in the day. All of her efforts go towards her interests, which tend to be her next fix of 'feeling alive'. Hence, she just puts her hair up and out of her face, wears clothes that cover her up, and minds her own business.
Third fit is what I like to call the "Arcanum clothes", mostly cause I wanted to give her cute business casual clothes that would fit in an Arcanum setting. Granted, I only know of the Arcanum through h:tp, so maybe that's not a good guideline lmao. Still, I like her in these quite a lot, and the tips of her braids being little horns feels very on point.
Last one is just... I spent years drawing haute couture for school projects. I needed to put her in a fancy dress - and considering that her bestie is a Tzimisce with very specific dress codes when they hang out, I thought itd be best to give her something that fit his tastes as well. Granted, as long as she can wear her boots and gloves she's happy - and the lace under the dress helps with making him rethink biting through fabric.
