TOPIC
SFC WHAT-NOTS # 54: MOST FASHIONABLE DESIGN



An odd question at first, but let’s focus on this. When designing characters, sometimes the outfits can get a little crazy, or perhaps simple, but effective. Maybe the outfits are relative to the fashion of the area, or maybe they’re based on something from real life.

The question today is “What is your most fashionable design?”  Is it based in a particular culture? Is the design used at a particular story moment as a one-off, or does it appear often? What are the inspirations for the design, and the in-story reasons?

HOST’S EXAMPLE

Of the many designs I’ve made, a simple yet I think rather modern and stylish one would be the design of “Vikki”, a character set on my Tolk world. Vikki is a supporting cast-member for the character “Li’l Speeder” who tends to wear this two-part jacket. The main piece is strapless and a light grey, but the sleeves come out from the top as a separate part as a darker grey. She also wears a faded red scarf, pale tan pants, brown boots, and a pair of silver glasses on her head, with her hair being a volume blonde with black styles.

When designing the character, I just wanted something fairly simple, but looking like it would belong in a place like New York. Whether or not I succeeded is up to the viewer of the image, but I think it works nicely.
