The Met costume collection and the V&A are my go-to sources for historical costume research on my projects, and the Edo kimono collection helped me so much while working on Blue Eye Samurai. Having access to museum archives online is an invaluable resource for artists

Btw artists if you want to help combat AI slop sneaking into your research I am begging you to STOP relying on Pinterest for reference gathering. Familiarise yourself with the free online collections of museums of which there are several and how to search them effectively

There are a few svsss pictures I want to finish after my holiday exchange, and then some yugioh gx ones too, but I have so many other images in mind, with No.6, hualian, beefleaf, Pokemon, other Yugiohs, oh and also a little wangxian sketch I’d like to flesh out! So much art and not enough time…
