I used to be good at the Renaissance, but not so much anymore. The Middle Ages, though, are LONG. Luckily, if you're into the Burgundian stuff? You're into the best-documented clothing. (Also I know you hate sleeve swaps, but if you ever decide you want a proper full-sleeved houpplelande? RunQun V3 plus Sim Ages gown. They have bone assignments! They obey gravity! In the same limited way Sim hair obeys gravity, but still!) Ahem.
... What year or so are your Wood Elves? I can think of a couple of possibilities, but I know it's your humans who're Medieval and your gods who're Rococo, so there's a lot of room inbetween. But I hear 'hunter-gatherer' and 'period clothes' and my brain wants to say 'frontier and pioneers,' even if I know it's really late for you. But the log cabin French trapper look is something I can picture.
But they live in clothes that are more than up to snuff as far as period accuracy, and get photographed in environments that are, at a glance, at least not anachronistic as far as the whole look goes. Thus, success! ... You can't help that they have water balloon fights in those outfits. (My critical research fails begin with subhoods. Downtown is basically a B-picture set in the Middle Ages, with attendant research; there are Sherahbim gypsies and vampires and werewolves (and plantsims and probably fairies, too, but it's those other guys who give it the look). Twikkii Island has no real-world equivalent, but it's basically 'Hat should've gotten Castaway Stories.' Most of my clothes for the Far East are Japanese... but most of the hairs are Chinese. Probably Chinese. Maybe 'Chinese movie fantasy.' It's hard to tell, nobody cites their sources. And while I'm totally going out of my way to get awesome Viking clothes for Three Lakes, the style of the place is probably going to be an even blend of Viking Answer Lady and How To Train Your Dragon (the woodworking was actually amazing in that movie) with a smattering of Thor. Because who doesn't love smokin' hot gods, I ask you.)
Beard Progress: 340 files so far; 140 to go. I had to stop partway through Necrodog's Amish beard because I realized a weird highlight was not, in fact, due to Bodyshop lighting.
