Angelo-Terrian Research

Amongst tribe research, I noted that the x tribe of males weave intricate headgear (into their hair) for different occasions  and long beautiful feathers from birds of paradise are one of the materials used. As sticking with inspiration, and in compilation with my Angelolian faith, feathers in the hair will be featured. The Angelo-Terrian's feathers will be much more beautiful in comparison to the Angelo-Mermerian (who are constricted to pastel dyed white feathers of their local birds), and the Angelo-Acconian (who are also limited to the white/grey/black spotted feathers of their local birds). Feathers will make up the majority of the characters charisma.

Birds of Paradise feathers. Mind; I will probably add fantastical feathers into my designs.

The other most notable difference will be the exclusion of the 'soul flower'. The Angelo-Terrians will have ripped this out of them believing it will further them from the earth and closer to the sky with angels. It will be interesting to look at how to incorporate this feature into my designs. So at first, I was looking at scars and blue dead veins, but I started to find these amazing photos of scars caused by being struck by lightning. Due to looking like roots, this is probably what I'll use in designing the chests of the Angelo-Terrians:

For the Muska in Terra-Feuille, it'll be organically made of interwined leaves and vines, so very similar to this exising model!:

Lastly the actual clothes design. I need to remember their backs must be covered but flesh showing Angel scripts is considered holy. Moodboard includes a mix of leaf/feathers (similar shapes), bark in dresses, and fairies that fit the theme:

Next post should be a few sketches :)
