Fantastic work, I especially like the one in the second-to-last column in the first row.
This is beautiful Liva, you really outdid yourself! Some really good info too!
Bravo!!!!

I honestly thought of To'Resk were weird merchant orcs... these updates are really putting them in a much better light.

Srsly bloody fantastic work you have there.
Just a lonely peasant on the road looking towards a distance future with the sweat on my back and a tear of cloth in my hand a family crest it must be. A adventure will i have, I dream of dreams my destiny awakens me.

I'm amazed by your drawings, especially the thought you put into conceptualising the cultural significance of your choices. Love the variety in face covers!
I knew I wasnt the only member of the to'resk fan club
This is really beautiful and I hope the devs take into account this thread when designing the to'resk clothing style instead of just ignoring this thread.
something I have noticed is you made the male clothing quite feminine, maybe you were going for a androgynous feeling but i think that's more a Waerd thing than a to'resk thing. Although the to'resk were the one tribe the devs considered making the males able to get pregnant/making both genders able to carry. I mean to'resk do seem quite effeminate but i feel the male clothing could look a little more masculine, like the silhouette, usually large hips are not seen as a masculine feature. And the corsets and pocket hoops on the male gowns are a little bit much.
Honestly whatever the devs make up for the to'resk can't beat this - the level of detail is amazing.
Again devs, don't ignore this help. take notes.

But that depends on what the tribe "sees" as masculinity, like in our world going to war and such was a masculine thing to do, and that integrated into our clothing, but To'resk have Janoa to wage war for them, so the question is then if they would've even taken those social aspects of "masculine" and somewhat more "practical" clothing and applied it? I took a lot of inspiration from the 18th century because of the focus all artificial, which is where the pocket hoops are from, I want to point out that every child wore these, boys were dressed up as "girls" too, because they weren't going to war, but the most important thing we can take away from knowing that children (boys and girls) used pocket hoops is that it wasn't anything sexual, showing big hips. It was artificial, it showed something that looked uncanny, and it was because of that they liked it. It was something man made, and To'resk who dislike their physical appearance, to me, sound like someone who would want to change their silhouette completely.
Another important note is that there's not really any distinction made in the gameworld between men and women, therefore the clothing would generally be more universal (Neran women most likely wear pants, something they wouldn't in medieval times) because the culture and society asks that of you. Just like the To'resk don't. I don't see the split in "femininity vs masculinity" but rather a split in classes or professions. If anything women might have a higher standing than men because of the Qin goddess Angelica and Luna are the strongest goddesses, and therefore the society might try to mimic that in a sense, putting women above men.
But there is nothing culturally or socially that can make the split to pants justified in my eyes as the To'resk aren't a "practical" tribe, but a tribe of tradition and artificial appearance. Sure for the lowest standing maybe, but for the majority of the tribe I don't :> What do you think? do you see what I'm getting at or did I loose you?
Fashion is not an island, it's a response. :D
Large shoulders are seen by us as a sing of masculinity, dunno if physical strength would be counted in To'Resk culture as also a sing of masculinity, but going by "creating a unatural silhouet" huge shoulderpads could be incorporated by both genders +- like it was in the 80's. It could also be incorporated in To'resk armor.
Fantastic work! God i'm really into the idea of golden masks!
