Description That should be their nickname omfg

FULL-VIEW FOR THE COMPLETE DISTRICT EIGHT EXPERIENCE

*thick british accent*

"And here they come! The tributes of district eight, sporting astonishing outfits! A great diversity of contrasting patterns and textiles clash together, forming and exquisite banquet of textures and colors. This year's tributes stand tall and proud, waving and smiling as charmingly as never seen before from district eight~"

About the outfit

I had two concepts in mind, one of them was this tribal thing with asian influences, and the other one was based on the french barroque. Both of them really fabric heavy. We liked both concepts, so we decided to combine them both... which was actually harder than I expected....

Had the ideas of making them look like mannequins, and making the outfits look as if they were "in the process", she also noted that the color of the year is MARSALA (seriously tho, that color is so pretty)

We mixed all that together and bam, these outfits

Also, all of the patterns are hand-drawn and GOD were they tiring, but they were strangely addicting to draw....



I did the final designs, she did the BEAUTIFUL lineart and picked the awesome color palette, and finally I colored it
