Corelli Boy lives! This is one of the costume concepts I did for my proposed graphic adaptation of Marie Corelli's "Ardath." The male costume incorporates elements of Assyrian, Egyptian, Greek, and Islamic garb. The female costume, which you have seen in other postings, is either wrapped in a veil as done in the Middle East, or for entertainers and harem girls, a skimpy little tunic dress. I'd do more sketches of costumes if there was any point to it. I've often wondered why I like "Ardath" so much when there are so many other books more worthy of illustration.
