its been about 10 years since she showed me this but i am STILL thinking about how my (then) 4 year old cousin drew birds
OBSESSED with this creature; she draws the body from above/below and the head from the side, with a giant eyeball that takes up the entire head and never looks in a specific direction. in a very old-fashioned sense: iconic
Yeah I would have guessed this was on some ancient pottery or something
Ill do one with the rest of the siblings as i get to know them better. by god, Jason, you will carry them all eventually.
fun fact to those who don’t know! agnea’s outfit is actually what some female flamenco dances wear while performing:
of course there are variations with the way to dress (some garments are like agnea’s some are more “casual”) because that’s just how the dance arts are. there is no definitive way to dress in a dance style. but i find it really really cool that a JRPG protagonist makes use of a mixture of Romani cultural expression with musical influences from Andalucía in Spain, a region that also has, to this day, a lot of Arab and Muslim influences.
she is wearing a shawl or mantón too, which some bailaoras also use:
according to wikipedia (i love wikipedia <3) the most traditional/frequent shawls used in flamenco are mantones de Manila which are originally chinese but came to Spain through the Philippines’ capital during spanish conquest period. they are also not exclusive to Andalucía, as it spread through Latin America too. mantones de Manila are made of silk and have colorful patterns, but i assume the artist rather chose a simpler design in order for more clarity when sprite work came, because this is how they look:
pretty complicated to portray through pixels! also they aren’t typically wrapped to the waist but are rather worn over the shoulders. honestly i kinda wish we could get some sort of animation where agnea dances flamenco, since the movements are pretty understandably complicated to capture in the octopath pixel style.
some more wikipedia links, if you wanna read more about the topic:
this is peak trans culture because this would have been easier with very nearly any other guitar design but she just haaad to use one shaped like the letter e. Not afraid of a challenge. Respect.
I would like to add that their name is E, literally just the letter E, like they’re in a spy movie. As if that wasn’t cool enough already she went and got a guitar shaped like her name. Fucking icon.
