Astarion

Astarion

I had a fun time appreciating all these design elements. Although this style may not be familiar for western audience, they actually all go well together.
For me, to drive this style home, the most fitting pose is of course derived from the Nio (temple guardian) buddhism statues.

The color scheme of the weapons and the inner clothes are very similar to traditional Chinese color schemes, found in clothing, paintings, frescos, and building paints.
The patterns also give a hint of the flower patterns in Tang dynasty, again along the silk road.

Ganondorf’s weapons are also in Japanese and Chinese styles.

The body ornaments and the elaborate hair bun reminds me of various buddhism sculptures and paintings from the Tang dynasty.
Lots of such sculptures are found along the silk road (especially Dunhuang), which are dessert areas (west of China). Super fitting for the Gerudo dessert.

The dark robe reminds me of the Wind Waker design. There it has a strong resemblance to the Chinese emperor coronation clothing, giving a strong imperial aura, very fitting indeed.
