Do you mean the two courtesan type women dancing? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 6:50 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Ye olde modern art WAS Research, Primary & so on
I have been doing some publicity for EB Games/Game Depot lately which is odd seeing I don't have a damned idea about video and computer games nor any interest in playing the things, however, has anyone seen the previews for Assassin's Creed 2, an up-coming video game? It is set in northern Italy, late 1400s. There was something suspicious about the woman wearing red in the preview video (see it at thier site or go into a game store, tell 'em I sent you!) so I went back to some old research and was a bit surprised... Whoever designed the game look has actually done more than gone to a Ren Faire, the woman is not a bad animated match for some Durer sketches of that period -- or maybe just the Moonlighting Taming of the Shrew ep! The lushness and textures impress me. Still, there is something about the briefly-seen costume that annoys me although I cannot put my finger on it. Fall of gown? Shape in general? I dunno. Anyone else seen it and have an opinion. Oh, and by the way, I am not citing it as a great example of historical reproduction, just a curiosity, -C. ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
