Initially the images I have been able to gather off the Internet have been rather focused on the nobility of the 17th century, while this will be useful to bring traits across Guido Fawkes I feel should be more of a soldier or dressed with kinds of a military background, which he has. I want to add a Spanish look to him as he fought for them in the Thirty Year War. I feel as Guido Fawkes doesn’t want to be particularly recognised massively noble and bright colours won’t fit the character.
Below are some images from the thirty year war;
I like the baggy pants, which in some cases are exaggerated, that the Spanish military wore, I feel Guido Fawkes would wear lighter clothing with small bits of armour, I like the idea of long socks as well which could be used as high boots.
This picture is of the French military but I feel it is relevant to see the uses of materials and uniform by both sides around this era.
Here are two quick drawings I did to perhaps show the basic military look, another design I might think about is him with very intricate ornate armour. I was trying to use some ideas from the basic Spanish military into his costume and how it could influence his clothing, the two variants here are an armoured version and a less armoured more lighter clothing. I want him to look like basic infantry.
