My Early Modern Philosophy class is tremendously boring, but I get good ideas and sketches out of it. I can only take so many hours of why God is the solution to everything, Malbranche.
Inspirations: -punk genres like steam punk, mediaeval clothing and armour, Mongolian boots, ball-jointed Japanese dolls

Knight sort of man with a robotic arm that loosely works like an armoured arm powered by magic (or God, because as Malbranche has taught me, God does everything!). His pants should be just a pair of leggings. More accurate and looks better. Debating whether his right leg should also be robotic to a point. And yes, I have just suggested Mediaeval Punk. I don't even like the mediaeval period.
Moll - The Roaring Girl
Inspirations: historic concept - provided illustration of Moll in Roaring Girl, cavalier clothing of the 1630's, a pair of gloves from 17th Century Clothing in Detail by Hart
modern concept - Jeffery Kurland's designs for Arthur in Inception
July 4th 2011
Two ideas for Moll - if you've never read Roaring Girl there are plenty of online versions and it is an excellent play - one historic and one modern. Moll's character is very interesting. Masculine, but incredibly fashionable. I did an essay on her costume last winter; she's a forward thinking woman and it really reflects in her clothing. The illustration and descriptions peg her more along the lines of the costume found in the 1630's - over a decade after the play. While doing the sketch for the historical concept I also played around with the idea of a modern interpretation. I'm not sure how well it would work seeing as how she needs a sword at various points in the story, but.... Anyways, once again, a very sleek and stylish design. Both would be in neutral tones with small bits of detail work. Hair tied back with wisps at the front (love locks for the historical design). Both will probably be fully rendered soon.
