artist-ellen:“Into the UnKNOOOOOWN!!”And the final redesign for the Elsa Commission! Elsa’s look goes through a lot of evolutions over the course of the movies/shorts but since this is her Finale dress I thought it was most fitting that it resembled the fashion of the Northuldra. While creating this project I did plenty of research into Bunads, Saami, fan art, existing redesigns and fan-reactions to the Frozen franchise. It was a very interesting wormhole. Bunads made a good bid, but I felt they would have made the most sense in Anna’s traveling outfits rather than something Elsa would wear for these 3 very specific story-points. So instead I used the movies Northuldra designs as a basis and updated her movie-finale outfit to include those references. (Huge shout-out to Dina Norlund’s redesign of Elsa video ((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfs2Afagzfk)) because her content was really inspiring and I definitely referenced her work in the belt/hanging details & the necklace.) I’ve elongated the tunic-style of the Northuldra to keep her movie-silhouette but have gotten rid of her Shen QingQiu sleeve-capes (I’m sooooo funny you have no idea). Her collar & neckline are very much inspired by the Northuldra (though Bunads also have a key-hole neck design so don’t count them too far out!) mixed with her movie-neckline and my previous redesigns neckline. This outfit is also supposed to feel as if she fashioned it out of Magic so I imagine the snowflakes to have a shifting-invisibility property of some kind over the outer garment while the undergarment’s snowflakes are relatively matte.Thank you so much to secretsivekept on Instagram for the commission!
