Because the old ones were getting a bit... old, I've been redoing the character design reference sheets. Starting out with the lovely 'min:
The healers all wear green 'cept the head healer, who, as you can see, wears bloo. Also got the green dot on her forehead, which I've forgotten on so many pictures of her. I'd kinda decided that it was just touching the hairline, so her fringe would hide it, then decided that was stupid, because what about all the other fringed healers, who aren't as easily distinguishable as Yamin? So it's lower down now. All healers have the green dot, even when out of uniform. That's so that if anyone needs any medical help and can't get to a healing house, they know who to ask straight up. Obviously shows up better on olive skin than 'min's white, but she wears it anyway. The gold band on her left arm is earnt upon gaining status as a full healer. There's no healing exam--as soon as the head healer reckon's a trainee's ready, she'll hand over the gold band.
Next is her disguise~ for when she's outside the healing house. Same colour as the palace staff uniforms, and much the same style, only without the hood, sleeves or long skirt, so with the hood pulled down she can be relatively inconspicuous.
The middle one was originally designed as her casuals, but as Raykin--and Yamin--have developped, it's become pretty damn obvious that this is just too detailed to be casuals for anyone but nobility, and even then nobility who likes showing of. While 'min is prolly about as rich as the average noble--head healer at the palace healing house is hardly a sallary to sniff at--she was born and raised as upper-middle class. She's hardly into showing off. So this is now the uniform of the scribes. Mirrored and with pants for the guys.
Finally~ ceremonial robes, with a bit of a dodgy face, but whatever. I love her ceremonial robes~! *^^* Was originally going to be leaves and vines, but~ then I realised there prolly aren't a lot of vines in Raykin, what with them being typically tropical and temperate, so she's got snakes instead. No, I don't know what kind. Not the right kind of green for a green mamba, so I dunno. The plant on the front tho, that's a flower of life, which I wrote up here. Basically, healer's plant, stuck out the front of a healing house so it's easily recognised. As per tradition, the top part is the darker piece, and has no embroidery or anything on it, while the bottom piece is the lighter and has all the designs, more elaborate for the rich. Which is why Nol's killed me ast time I drew it, and why I'm not looking forward to drawing it again, but will anyway ><;;;;;;; 'min's is fun tho =D And I remembered her wing clasp thingies! =D
So, there's the 'min =D No, there are no piccies of her with wings, cos I know what her wings look like, and couldn't be bothered drawing a forth picci of her. Might do when I've finished them all, but prolly not.
