Hey guys, sorry I haven't been here in a while. didn't know what to say or what topic to write about. But since Im a member here now, it would only fit that I need to make my character in a victorian setting. Theirs one problem with that, I don't know what to do. So If you guys have any advice for me on how to draw outfits and stuff like that would be great. My character's name is Lucas Ven Prideheart. And he is in a in depth story of mine back on DA called Dragonheart In The End. A fantasy based story. I have been thinking of making Lucas as a guest appearance in the PBB comics. But that won't be for a long time. So any tips will do just fine.

So tell me what needs to be done ok. Now I may not work on it right away, I'm currently woking on other projects and it becoming a hassle just to find the time to work on them, ever since I got a job and other things. I have trouble trying to find the time to do art so hopefully in time I will be able to do Lucas again for Pleasure Bon Bon.

Here, a site with several examples of Victorian-esque clothing. I used this when creating an outfit for my fursona.

alot of it also depend on where your coming from. different regions had different styles of dress. A farmer of oaklahoma wouldn't be dressed the same way as an english aristocrat

And a female socialite isn't going to dress quite the same as a prostitute.

A sensible Englishman is not going to dress like a French dandy.

Lots of things.

Ok, Ill get started on Lucas's Victorian Outfit, does anyone know which outfit suits him best? This is the only time I'll get to work on an art piece like this.

It all depends on the type of person your fursona is, and whether he'd be the type to prefer fashion over function, or vice-versa...

At least we didn't get anyone constantly trying to be "old english" spouting "Thees, thys, and sires" all over the place. Laughing

For some reason a sentence came to mind...

Would'st thou wish me to join thee in thy chambers, milady, whereupon I shall spread thy thighs? Laughing

-clears his throat- Ahem. Don't mind me. Move along.

A definite step in the right direction, he's turned into quite the dapper gentleman... kudos!

With that outfit on the right, he looks similarly dressed to Aaron Thom. Perhaps the two can be part of the same body guard team.

I think this thread would be a perfect tip for anyone to create fanart for PBB. Thank you all for your links. They are all great.
