cryinglittlepeople: シヅカ With the post I made about the names of Izuru’s parents, I really wanted to explore drawing Shizuka, Izuru’s mother.Since most of Soul Society is inspired by Edo period fashion and such, I wanted to design Shizuka to be wearing the older, Heian style of hair and clothes. To show the Kira family as being old, but also no longer relevant. A “forgotten” clan. I also went for Heian because I wanted it to be a callback to Noh theatre, with Izuru’s father’s name including a reference to a theatre stage, I found it fitting.She doesn’t wear a whole ton of layers, only a couple, as she is not of high nobility. In Heian era, the more layers a noble woman wore, she higher her status. I wanted her to look just like Izuru, same shape of face and nose. Same hair and eyes. I also had the thought that she was kinda mentally unwell, a trait that Izuru also inherited, and that she perhaps had committed suicide when Izuru was still young, leaving him all alone, as they were the last two living Kira clan members.I want to draw and explore her character more soon!(do not remove description) -- source link
