The Portrait of VN Household
___________

tersiyupelong silo, tanikalang sutla
^{velvet noose, silken chain}
nawawalang bahala ang pagbikas babala
^{utter warnings all in vain}
mayroong pamana ngunit di ko tanto
^{a heritage exists, yet I know not}
kung kanino nanggaling, kung kanino patungo.
^{to whom it is going, from whom it was got}

For the Philippine Independence Day... June 12.
This is barely nationalistic... but hey... ~VN~ full cast in local clothing! ...the equivalent era, too, only closer to home.
_{Sorry about not being able to include the less colonial costumes...a little too far from context.}

Characters:
_Standing:
Chauchemar, Urira, Iadne, Hourlett
_{Seated at the table:}
Qa, Delurianne, Aethanael
_{Seated on the floor:}
Qarinda, Fugue, Altham

Yes, the cast of Velvet Noose and Vitric Night DEFY timelines! haha...

I based some costumes of particular outfits... Aeth is dressed as another doctor... an illustrado *ahem* and hero *ahem* who got shot *ahem*
Hourlett's outfit is mostly based on a certain, young Filipino general... also a hero... also very good looking
The rest are a mix of my chaotic imagination and traditional costumes befitting the time and each character's supposed social station. Qa and Chauchemar's costumes are more Spanish than the Spanish-Filipino hybrid developed over the years of colonization... I guess because it fits their characters...
I don't mean to depict the colonial striations, of course, but it so DAMN FITS THE CAST!!! I should have set ~Velvet Noose~ in colonial Philippines.

...that would make Chauchemar an aswang?

Black Ink. Colors and ageing effects in Photoshop. I let the details "fade" a bit on this one... for effect.
I really enjoyed drawing this so I hope you enjoy it, too.


~VN~ novels (velvet noose / vitric night) and all characters (c) me
