I really like your tribal project.  As for the tribal boy, did you make the necklaces, arm bands, and bracelet yourself, or get them someplace?  I have been looking for a good necklace with a tooth forever and can’t find one.

Thank you very much

The jewelry, I didn’t make, but they’re freebies here:

Thank you, Spyro   I have been looking for things just like these for a loong time.  I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I also Thank you. Now my Tribe MIGHT have a item that the Old woman can prove the tribes need not FIGHT when they meet.

Well well, sounds like you’re coming up with some ideas When the tribes meet, I’m thinking it would be good if we can add a story element to the image… I have really been inspired lately by the renders that have a novel like approach. You yourself have been doing it with your tribal project you got going wordless, yet worth a 1000 words.

Well I think you give my test renders to much credit, those are not really tied to my idea just ghost of my idea. But I can see the cross over working very well from what I know about primitive life.

Example: Your Tribe looks to live on the coast or a large water. History has shown that some of the most advanced settlement’s were on those sites. Plentiful food resources and fair weather makes for that type of advancement. My tribe comes from the deep mountain regions of the world, less time spent improving life and much more time spent on just staying alive. It all works out mostly.

That’s true. I envy your knowledge!

Based on your tribes anatomy, proportions an pretty darn close to modern human anatomy, you can safely say they are relatively close in stage of modern human evolution, so there’d be a window of about 40,000 years. Considering the clothing they wear, at least from what I have seen of them, I’d also say they aren’t in too cold of an environment, perhaps situated in a dryer/comfortably temperate climate, more so than the ‘snowy’ mountains, but definitely mountainous and inland. They may be located between the equator and the north and south regions, certainly not at the poles. Their level of technology suggests they are isolated, perhaps rarely seen by the rest of the world. Trade is unlikely outside their own people. By the fact that their skin is not all that dark, one could also speculate that they aren’t in the desert or open plains or open grass lands. I would imagine they have plenty of trees in their homeland and lots of shade. Not jungle, but more like dry forests.

I could go on, but it’s all speculation and observation lol And I could write a book on it all HAHA!

I must confess, My stuff is based on 30 or less thousand years ago, in the United States before man became settled and all the large fauna died off. When the land was still open, except for the glaciers, full of good hunting, and covered in grasslands and heavy forest. The renders I have done so far are all Spring or summer renders, I’m still working on winter and fall clothing (close now). This would be mid to late Stone Age Homo Sapien man. Us, but before animal husbandry and framing.

Clothes particularly can be a hard find unfortunately. I’m very limited with tribal wear :(

And I cant wait to see what you come up with for winter wear!

What sort of clothing are you after Spyro? Do you have any pics?

Well, Reference images are so hard to come by…

Basically I’m not so much a person to stick with any one culture, But I’d say my interested style of tribal wear is probably closest to Native American Indians (Excluding all the frilly bits), but with a tropical islander heavily in mind as well.

I’m pretty much into “fictional” as I’m building up a rather unique fictional race. I’m right into the concept of loincloths but not where they are too exposed, like say the Africans, Australian Aborigines or pacific islanders. I much rather lots of leather and pelt elements. Laced up trousers, tall boots. No bright colours, all natural tans and browns.

Jewelry: bracelets, necklaces, armbands made up with bone, shells, wood, feathers, leather straps and cords.

I also like the idea of distinct patches of pelt/leather hand sewn to form the clothing. Belts: Lots of straps, multiple belts even.  Poncho or cloak made of pelt/leather or heavy worn fabric is a good idea too.

Soooo many Idea’s LOL.

I’ll start with some of the scorpion king, Very close in terms of Rock’s costume. I love the cut up pieces all joined together. A great costume

Jewelry images I like

Other clothing…

Some more References…

These ones are Sci fi… But it’s the concept that I like… The tunic and definitely the fabric loincloths.
