Knowing my characters are important and essential to me. Visuals on what they wear can be as detailed as to how they dress daily, to what they wear to go to sleep at night. Accessories and jewelry are very intrinsic to character and show their social status in my stories.
STUDIES:
Preliminary sketch of the Royalty: From the top left (clockwise): the Professor (to Livius); the King (with Livius as a child); the King (during the second half of the poem, when he returns into the picture); the Queen (Livius' mother).
Livius Age Chart--starting from the top left (clockwise).
Livius Daily Attire--what he would wear around the Palace.
Livius Daydreaming--during the day or night, if he's in the Palace, he will be miserable and feel trapped for life.
Livius Night Attire--As an androgenous character, or as boys used to dress back in the Medieval Ages, whether a noble or a commoner, nightgowns were worn without shame.
Livius Coming of Age Attire--the ceremony that lasts for only a couple scenes (one main scene), but the climax of the first half.
Livius Commoner Attire--plain clothing compared to the jewels he used to have while he was at the Palace.
Livius Adolescent Commoner Attire--less traditional-looking, and more humble with less AKA sandals, etc.
Livius Adult Commoner Attire--the least traditional-looking garb out of all attires. He is like a Siddharta figure, humble, yet noble, and finally found himself.
The King's Attire--We see the King usually dressed the same, but he is an important minor character.
