The Little Prince 🦊 for the third prompt of Once Upon A Time Month

Sooo… I just realized I sent the reference sheets out of order, oops! Back by popular demand, Luriana now has an official reference sheet!

Some fun notes about Luriana’s designs.

Her Society uniform is heavily inspired by both steampunk monster hunters and Victorian riding habits, as well as some western gunslinger flicks just for good measure. Her riding habit is specially tailored to give easy access to her gun holsters and can be quickly removed to make getaways easier. (Luri also uses it as a distraction when fighting, kinda like throwing a handkerchief when using Bartitsu 😉)

Another fun piece I would like to highlight is her formal gown. Some of my historically savvy followers may have spotted something a bit out of the ordinary with it.... that’s right! It’s actually from a decade earlier than the story takes place (1860s). This is an intentional move. The story behind this dress is that it used to be her mother’s before it was passed down to Luri, with the intention of (hopefully) wearing it to the many parties in town in search of a husband. Luriana had different aspirations, so it’s stayed locked up tight for a special occasion. (Hmm... wonder when that would be...)

I had a ton of fun drawing her in all her Victorian monster hunting/sass master glory. When researching for her designs I got a lot of inspiration from @priorattire’s lovely reconstruction pieces. If you haven’t already checked her out, what are you waiting for?! She’s a historical fashion icon for sure.

Cub just didn't want to potentially lose two friends in one night..

Working on some redesigns for them. Jekyll is older, Hyde is well a shadow being- I really want to explore the idea of Jekyll’s disillusionment of Hyde. So what he sees as a transformation is different than how others see it.. I really don’t know how to explain this well so maybe I’ll draw something to explain my thoughts better-

Hope you enjoy the sketches! Let me know your guys input on it! I’m curious of what you guys think :)
