imps: clothes/fashion sketches +shamans (Patreon)

just some doodles of their outfits and all that. im trying to visualize what the top of the top would wear, like emperor style. with huge crowns holding on their horns, which will almost always be large horns. typically shamans and high mages tend to wear tops, or have things that would cover their chest much more. its generally accepted for they to have them, as many times their tattoos aren't visible anyway, and the most important ones, their facial tattoos, will be visible.
mages wear hats while shamans dont do to their horns, but they can wear decor like chains and stuff. normal imps can also afford the fancy outfits so thats why its just called fancy rather than relegated to class. crowns are for sure sacred, and those arent worn willy nilly. ceremonies, special dancers (very important profession) and high royals in certain places will wear them.
theres alot of tinier details like their jewelery, what tends to be worn depending on type of material is used, designs and articles of clothing meant to or is associated with certain jewelry types and metals.
you see what demure would wear, having a few articles of clothes underneath what you would then see. and the sash that makes it look seemless is only because it is very layered and have different sizes to thhem. such as twice the length at a certain part of the sash. this is meant to be folded in ways to make bows, ties and knots possible. the longer and bigger the sash, the harder but more versatile the designs can be. demure tends to opt for more simpler designs like just a soft knot. and demure could wear even more clothes like a shawl for hot days, gloves, a cape, anything extra that can be removed quickly. nothing like a real top.
ive been trying to keep the skirts fashion strong, and with little leeway in the typicaly day to day goings of the imps, with only a few exceptions. like possible pregnancy (its very important which is why this is specifically an allowed exception for them) , profession based, and even situational needs.
keeping their chests main to view is hard, not to mention the potential amount of jewlery detail!
