Folklore

I wanted to design a couple of historic looking outfits, inspired by Croatian and Slavic folklore in general. I wrote what inspired each design under the pictures. I started adding color to them but I figured I didn't post anything in a while, since I've been busy with work, so I figured I could share the process one step at a time.

16th century Croatian privateers Uskoks. I went to the museum last year and the outfits are amazing.

Different traditional garments from different villages in Slavonija.

A combination of a couple of Croatian historical uniforms.

Hags, witches, faries, giants, dwarfs etc are a large part of Slavic folklore.

Also the privateers.
