fashion art meme

[ratcreature]

I saw this meme in astridv's journal, and since it's always nice to see a fanart meme come by, I thought I'd participate too.

Give me a character and a time period from fashion history, and I'll draw the character in said fashion.

I changed the linked website to the wikipedia category for history of clothing, because I found the originally linked website impossible to navigate and badly designed, whereas wikipedia offers conveniently sorted links and a fair amount of nice pictures in the articles' galleries.

Fandoms on offer: X-Men, Star Trek, Merlin, SGA, HP, DC and Muppets

I've never really drawn fashion, so while this seems like an interesting challenge for me, I'm going to limit it to five people, because I'm not sure how much effort this is going to turn out. So for easier queuing I've bundled comments on my main journal on DW for this entry.

Ancient Greece Erik Lensherr!

Heh, with the recent reconstructions I've seen of their statues back when they hadn't been mercifully washed an elegant white and their fondness of garish colors, maybe Erik's color sense would have been right at home then.

Stargate Atlantis, Nara-period Japan (some pictures, a set of illustrated slides). Er. I like the idea of the Ancients wafting about in kimono, but I also think Rodney would be oddly fond of the hats, while John would loathe them. So any of those for character suggestions?

Ooh, cool meme. :) How about ... medieval Batman. :D (I realize that "medieval" is hugely broad; you can pick, or I can be more specific if you'd like!)

[ratcreature]

You want Bruce Wane wearing medieval dress, not a medieval reimagining of his alter-ego's costume, yes?

[sholio]

I would be fine either way, actually. Whichever one you think sounds like more fun to draw!

Mystique and reformed dress! With bloomers!

Nearly a year late but I did Mystique in bloomers:
