wish there's a master list of (non seedy) sites that have nice reference for traditional clothes history, even preshistoric ones.
If I ever remake Nuwa's design (this one was like 9 minutes design ☠️) I'll make her look "prehistoric" since she's a creator Goddess
but since mecha is comprised of shapes, shapes and even more shapes, it took me awhile to make it look not off-model (but there's still some mistake here orz)
it's just easier to look off model with mechs since they need to strike balance between clunky and "flowing" with it orz
when you draw organic looking things like human/animal/monsters etc that isn't gigantic armor suit, you can "cheat" on some parts and draw them as symbols instead of shapes
dunno how to describe it, but look on her nose and hair, it shouldn't look like that irl, but...
what's the point of this schizo post? I guess it gives off different perspective to the actual lore vs pop fic of it.
Like one could paint the king actually having good intention but fails due to his own flaws, or rethinking Daji's/Tammy's real motives (esp in her JP sequel)
Fengshen Yanyi could be seen as a guy coping with the king being too modern for his time, gets salty and paint him as a playboy creep and the girls being "ha w*men" corrupt b1tches.
or maybe I sorta misread it lmao.
Sounds like a nasty guy isn't he? Until I read the wiki page for the king's actual historical record.
Apparently he was pretty modern for his time and had girls run the court. In a time where guys were like "ha w*men" and forbids them to do anything but baby mill+ being pretty
ah well, if nobody's gonna spread gospel about lotbw, I'll do it on my own
with my own touches and headcanons (I'll keep the brainrot to minimum and try my best mixing the romance with the robots)
