So I have a character ask blog, and one of the questions/requests was for Maher in a women's kimono and kanzashi. Since it was my 100th response I decided to do a more finished piece and therefore am putting it here too.
Copy pasta from the tumblr post:
Mun: I did a bunch of research on kimonos for this, and found out there’s a crapload of little fine details about that stuff that would probably take a year or more to get the hang of. |D So some of the stuff is probably wrong with this, but I did my best to match the ask requests as well as attempt to have some accuracy. The most prominent kimono type I referenced was a houmongi, because Maher is married and therefore those types are more suited??? But then I found something that said that geisha were the only ones who wore hair ornaments, soooo I couldn’t go strictly houmongi style and still have kanzashi |D Which means I looked into geisha style a little too, hence the makeup and longer kimono. Which the trailing kimono might also make it a bridal one??? e,o I’m not really sure anymore X’DDD Ah, and the color scheme and symbols are proper for a winter season one (I think). Plum blossoms, bamboo, and pine patterns, then white, pink, and orange. (aka shiro, usubeni, and beni) Yukinoshita color scheme???? Frag I dunno. *snorts* Messy up dos are hard to draw too. |D
Whew boy |D that was fun, but took awhile. Happy 100th response~ =u= Thanks for all the questions/asks/notes/requests so faaar~ <3333
