Long time no post.

Well, when Ada told me that we should just go with June’s anime-style, I realized that there wasn’t enough time for the machinima for custom-made-everything (and that she wouldn’t be hurt if I executive-veto’ed her exact clothing suggestions).

With a liberal interpretation of history, and with more of an eye towards prettiness and cinematic efficiency, the outfits on left became inevitable. (Click to enlarge each pic.)

Francisco is basically this peasant boy, who’s been called on guard before proper training. He has daggers and farmer’s weapons in his belt, but has not yet been issued as sword. Dark shadows beneath his eyes; many nights of sleeplessness. Pale cold-ridden skin. He’s been standing in the cold for ages, as the other men are too scared to hang. He’s bitter cold and sick at heart… and hangs onto a fiery baton for light, heat, and company until his rival guard Barnardo arrives. Barnardo is a higher ranked guard, and has actually been issued palace armor and an official’s cape. He has a fair expression on his wind-burnt face, and honest blue eyes. He fears seeing the ghost again, and when the wind blows as he ascends the stairs to the watch, yells out “who’s there…” and, to his relief, finds Francisco instead of a more ethereal man. Although unshaven, Marcellus is a lace-sporting courtier and a high-ranked guard. There’s mirth on his face, wisdom in his eyes and years. He brings Horatio, the scholar, who does not believe in what Barnardo and he had seen here the past nights. Horatio is a HAWT scholar who’d just been brought in my Marcellus, and still has his hat and riding cape on! The Ghost is… the spirit of Hamlet’s dead father!

(Hmmm and if June were given free reign to create clothing, everything would all look BDSM-ish… Ina’s a prude, so her reign would tend to look as shown! ^.~ Well, other than making Horatio look like a lothario…)
