Prince/Princess - costume study
art marker
I was writing a section of the story where both Phantom and Pacifica needed to appear in formal Guardian prince/princess uniform, and I got to wonderin', what DO those costumes look like anyway? I knew they'd be a slight play off the 4th level combat uniforms, but other than that my concept was hazy at best. So I drew these very very quickly (as well as various other Guardian formal costumes in a series) and now I feel much better. You can see where I messed up on Phantom's arm (that's some whiteout there..) and no, when I sketch, I don't draw noses because I actually *HATE* noses.
Also, where I left areas white, those are just blank spots, not white material. Actually their uniforms are almost entirely black, I just didn't want to use up my marker to fill that in (because as you can see with the dark blue areas, filling in looks pretty crappy).
Those holsters around their waists are purely decorational, they would be horribly impractical in an actual combat situation. These uniforms are, as I've said, formal -- so at a coronation or promotion ceremony they'd wear these, but not in day-to-day functions. Their normal combat uniforms are very simple and lightweight, unlike these two designs.
(Before anyone kills me for making Pacifica's sword smaller than Phantom's, she prefers daggers anyway because she's more of a hand-to-hand fighter--I'm not being sexist, okay? ^^;)
