Any tips or links for reference for egyptian/arabic clothes?

[HiroC]

Erm, I'm currently working on the sprites for my game and I'm really needing some reference of ancient egyptian or arabic clothing. I've already searched the depths of google but still none. so this is my last hope...

Any links or even just tips is very appreciated. Thank you. d(_ _)b *bows*

What style are you looking for? Male, female, both?

[HiroC]

um, for both male and female.

Here's a site that has some helpful links.

http://www.egyptartsite.com/fashion.html

How ancient is ancient though? Like what time period are we looking at?

Perhaps this link helps a little bit. (I havn't browsed the reference section, there could be more information)

http://library.thinkquest.org/04oct/003 ... thing.html

and what also came to mind was "Asterix and Cleopatra"
as far as I can remember the clothes looked pretty egypian, whereas I am not sure if they are historical correct.

else I can only recommend a search for historical websites and/or egyptian wall paintings.

I hope that helps a little bit with your research.

@prettysammy
actually, since its a fictional place... doesn't really matter how "ancient" it is.

@delta ion
thanks for the tip.



...hehe, thanks to the links you gave, i've got some pretty nice idea now....(_ _) *bows again*

eeii, if i'm not late, how bout this? http://www.siue.edu/COSTUMES/COSTUME1_INDEX.HTML

And, if its fictional, what kind of attire do you prefer for them? Since egyptian and arabic attires are in a complete opposite line. Egyptian has more thing on the gold or so.. usually men were half naked. While as to Arabic, either men or women were like always drifting in cold(i mean fully dressed)

Hope it helped. ^^
