Alternate Title: Iridian Guards

So in the Gaiaonline shop, In the Name of the Moon, I decided to recently make some line art for others to use, but I needed to create examples.  So then these two popped up!

I have been asked questions about these arts, so I will try and answer some of the ones I know for certain.

Q) Are these Iridian Knights (knights belonging to Sailor Iris)?
A) Yes AND No!  IF IRIDIAN KNIGHTS EXISTED, then this is probably what they would end up looking like.  HOWEVER, the way Knights works in the RP setting doesn't appeal to me (heavy alliance with Earth), so I am calling these two "Iridian Guards," who would have functioned as bodyguards for Princess Iris' parents during the Silver Millennium.

Q) Are these NPCs?
A) Nope!  I just designed these for the sake of designing what would have been considered "Iridian Fashion."  There would be lots of variants, not just a bunch of people wearing the same 1 outfit as everyone else.

Q) What were the inspirations for the Iridian Guards?
A) I tried to keep to some Persian outfit designs, but also tried to incorporate a sort of festival/carnival/Cirque du Soleil feel to it.  There is also some body paint on their person, since paint was one of their main exports.

Q) Will you design more Iridian Guards?
A) Maybe, it mostly depends on time.  If I make more, it won't be for a long time.

Art and designs belong to me
