I LUUUV ALL THESE CONCEPTS SMM history designs are so fun and I got a tad carried away per usual. 1. I had a massive Shakespeare phase back when I was like- 12, and I binge read all of his more famous plays. I always liked his comedies the most (Much Ado <3) but Hamlet deffo made an impression. This pretty lady was made with a lot of symbolsim in mind. She was mainly inspired by Gertrude with some inspo from Ophelia as well. The skull and goblet are obvious (RIP Yorick); the flowers on her dress are a reference to Ophelia's flowers. Rosemary, pansies, fennel, columbine etc. Some are wilting, some not. The pearls usually represent purity and modesty and well, you know the female characters in Hamlet are anything but. I thought it would make nice juxtaposition :) And then the headpiece. I wanted something snazzy and eluding to royalty but I didnt wanna do a crown so I sorta designed smth in the middle. It all feels very Anne Boleyn. 2. For fun more then anything else since I dont usually design animals. Inspired by Lady Macbeth ( notice the red paws hehe). Idk I thought it was a bit boring. Not really a proper entry. 3. Saved my fave till last. All the fine details were such a drag to do omg but I think it was totally worth it. First time designing uniform like this so I doubt its very acurate lolol. Still, I'm very pleased with how it turned out overall :) Reminds me of le mis anyways scratch made the quality absoloutely ridiculous. Sigh. If you want the higher quality images lmk and I'll link em!

Idm -A medieval/arthurian style damsel kinda lady. Yk the kind that like wallows in lakes and broods in tall towers. Yeah that sort. -And finallly a pretty boy knight? I have a character concept for a prince that turned into an evil knight sorta plot. You can base the armour off any time period :)
