In one country, at least, they have scantily-clad women just like all the stereotypes... :P

This is my attempt to put down the general fashion of the Griffonlands of the Adhemlenei, especially for women, which I had in my head for a pretty long time. Men wear much the same thing but I draw enough pretty guys already. So, as you can see, there are three basic styles – loose robe, loose robe with sleeves, and half-naked-ness. All are (apparently) suitable for agricultural work in their warm climate (hence the tans/dark skin), and that’s why the girl on the left is holding some grassy bits of stuff. The girl in the middle is more of a noblewoman, as you can tell from the way her hair is done up and the jewelled necklace in her hand. The girl on the right is very mobile all day long and so wears clothes that are even less restricting than loose robes. Her top is pinned in place. Her skirt has underwear built into it for modesty (v. important, you know!). The vague resemblance to Disney’s Pocahontas is unintentional. I also accidentally made her much bigger closer than the other two. That’s why it says ‘scale fail’ underneath.
My eraser was acting up really badly that day but I couldn’t find another one. Sorry.
Tomorrow’s picture is a picture of Zela and Flaria – from AUGUST. Wow, am I getting close! I’m excited! There was actually a picture before that, but I need to finish the Ceniro story before you can see it. XD
Wacky! And awesome!
I am never going on My Life is Average ever again. It’s a website about random strange events that happen to people. It eats my life like nothing since I found Wayrift.
Today I went to Strings Fridaymusic (awesome). Before that KevinT and I were reading through the Latin textbook and discovered that apparently, the root of the word ‘virtuoso’ comes from the Latin word for ‘manly’. To which Thor says “Of course, all my virtuoso friends are incredibly buch.” *looks at JillH - a Comp/Perf piano major - slender, pretty, and well-dressed beside him* “Like you!” And apparently my plan to double-task during D&D tomorrow (need to colour Sunday’s post) is evidence that I am a woman. Who knew? Not me, that’s for sure. Is there evidence to back up this evidence somewhere?
Another Zela picture! This time, I went for setting rather than character, and this is a terrific picture. Much better than I expected.
