Everyone liked the color charts I test printed for Basilisk so much, I felt compelled made a nice version! Great for anyone that has an interest in Risograph printing, historical pigments, or weird medieval marginalia.

loose sketches of some Pelagien outfits... travelling and sleeping

notes under readmore:

the travelling outfit is based on some c13th and 14th sources which describe large hoods and cloaks

i am so aware of the debate on whether medieval people slept naked. 95% of the sources of people doing this are either from warm climates (like portugal) or depict nobles with access to good bedding and servants to heat their chambers - other people would probably sleep in underwear or specific sleep clothes. i've opted for a c14th set of a mens short undertunic and braies

i am making wild extrapolations as to what a guy with a very specific set of experiences (ftm . clericus vagans . autistic . lower middle class in the 1300s) would wear . allow a guy some creative liberty
