Description This is a WIP costume design for Tweedledee and Tweedledum that I am doing for an assignment in my illustration class. I am posting this because I would love some feedback and suggestions/critiques on their costume design. Their poses will likely change as I try and decide how I want to draw them. Our assignment is to take a Nursery Rhyme and draw a scene from it. I chose Tweedledum and Tweedledee, mostly because I really wanted to draw twins...X3

I'm going for more of a clownish/gentleman kind of look I suppose lol...I want their clothes to be more or less the same save parts that are opposite the other. (if that makes sense...>.>)

Here's the Nursery Rhyme:

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.

I like the design work you've put in already. The little flowers on their hats made me giggle a little x3

I've never heard of this nursery rhyme before. I like it though. My favorite however is about cannibalistic stuffed animals

I really like the clothes they are wearing, it definitely describes the clownish, yet gentlemen appearance you were going after. For the weapons, perhaps you want to try swords (sabres or the like)? It seems that it would fit more with their persona, but it's just a suggestion I'm throwing out there. Can't wait to see it colored because then I'll really be able to see where the differences in their costume will be and other details!

Thanks for the suggestion! I haven't really decided what weapons I want to give them yet but I agree, what they have now doesn't fit. ^^ Glad the clothes seem to being working though!

those are great! I really like how you've done their clothes...as for weapons, I suggest these: Yari [link] or Naginata [link]

Those weapons seem to fit the personalities there xD

Thanks! Those are really cool weapons and I agree, they do seem to fit them. ^^ I'm definitely going to consider them when I decide what to do for the weapons.

awesome! I really like it. Ehehe, although their weapons seem kind of dinky compared to their malicious expressions. Nice design!

Thanks! XD I agree, I just put them in there for the sake of putting something there while I decide what I want their weapons to look like.
