#but historical east asian fashion is extremely interesting to me for a number of reasons

[gomiworm]

I feel like I send u lots of asks at every-orochimaru, but I also really love your orokabu art, especially the "are you dead? sometimes I think I'm dead" piece!! thank you for the food, it's definitely fueled me spiraling into madness

Ah, thank you, thank you! That piece was inspired by Cavetown - This Is Home! I can also tell I had been watching Heian era inspired films because of the way I drew their hair (carbon dating my own art lol)

I've taken a break from art lately cause work is kicking my ass but I have some pieces in the works! I'm thinking about doing some historical fashion studies via Naruto characters cause it's a field that really interests me. What better way to motivate oneself to learn than to shamelessly involve the hyper-interest? :]

#peepaw posting #i wanna rewatch the tale of genji #plot so fucked but she's soooo pretty guys #but yea fashion so cool! #i love watching historical fashion youtube like omg #but a lot of them are focused on victorian/european fashions #which is fine there's plenty to learn! #and i'm sure i'm just not looking hard enough for more variety #but historical east asian fashion is extremely interesting to me for a number of reasons #i was teaching myself how to sew japanese clothing for cosplay #and i researched korean and chinese dress for stories i was working on #historical fashion is such a mess to research especially when you don't know the language #but it's really rewarding! #i always go yippee!!! when i find a new piece to my puzzle
