More for my own ideas...

I stumbled upon this painting today. I'm thinking for 12th night, maybe making a black ans silver dress in bendy which would be a cross between the gold and black dress and the blue and black side of the little boy's doublet. The lower sleeve would be in gold with red lining. That should cover the heraldic idea... Maybe add some scarlet work of wings on the upper part of the chemise? I'm still not sure yet but I have a couple of ideas going through my head.

The other is to do a slightly earlier style like this. Have the gauntlets and exposed part of the underdress in gold with red beaded red wings and the over dress in black velvet with maybe "slashes" to expose white fur? Or black velvet with silver trim running from right to left?


Oh well, it's a few months away....

I actually think that's a little person, not a little boy.

Probably is a hobbit. I wasn't looking at the faces, just the clothing. ;-)

It's the Court Dwarf. Look at the size of his head.
