Description
Commission for . This is the Bloom family as they would have been had Trowa grown up with them. First of all, he would have gone by his real name, Triton. His father, Michael, used to work with a travelling show, where he threw knives. That's also where he met his wife, Sara. Michael is now teaching his oldest child, Catherine, his old trade.The Blooms become sheep herders, which is why Sara is holding one of their Spring lambs. All their costumes are based on Medieval French peasant clothing, especially those of shepherds. Michael even has a shepherd's flute, which he would pass on to his son (Trowa and the flute, for anyone who knows the original Gundam Wing show
) Catherine's is the only costume with a kind of Gypsy flair to it, hinting that she may go on to be in a travelling show like her father.Edit: made little Triton's hair long. Also, though Michael's arm is blocking the viewer, he does have a ponytail.

Okay, time to comment.
I love it, though for some reason, I expected Catherine and Triton to be older (I think it's just me).
Let's see...
Michael (dad) - I really like the design. Even more so that he is an original design since the readers of the manga never saw the faces of Catherine and Triton's parents (they were only shown in shadow/silhouette). And I really like how you have him teaching Cathy to throw a knife. Also, I like the small touch of the flute in his belt.
Sara (mom) - A very gentle looking character who care for her family. The lamb she is holding looks great. He almost looks like he is about to fall asleep. Great design on her costume as well.
Catherine - She looks so eager to learn her craft.
Triton - The only thing I must ask is, can you please give him long hair in the back? I'm just so used to see him with longer hair. And he does seem quite close to his mother. I like that a lot.
You did a great job on this commission and I thank you.
(I thought I had more to say, I do but, there's a lot going on. Maybe later.)

I'm sorry they don't look old enough... You had just said that Cathy is 5 years older than Triton, so she's about 11, and Triton is 6 (but he's tall for his age, as the tallest of the boys later on. He's like my brother, who was almost 6 feet at 11 years XD )
I'm glad you like papa! Michael is a shepherd, and they always seem to have flutes, so I thought I'd give him one
I can give Triton long hair! I made it short because he's in a happy family, so I wanted him to look more clean-cut and cared-for. But if you don't like it, it's time to change! I'll repost the fixed version in a bit. Let me know if there are any more changes ^__^
(You let me know what's up if you want, and when you have the time. Also, keep an eye on your mail. That's all I'll say for now ^__^ )

That's alright, when I send you these commissions I always see how I want it created, and sometimes it returns the same way, other times I am very surprised and amazed by what you come up with. And I am happy with everything you do. Do not apologize to me, for you have done nothing wrong in my eyes. 
And I really like how you do your research on everything! Can't wait to see what you dig up on Q's family.
As to Triton's hair, that is the only fix. Besides you can have long hair and have it kept nice, you know pulled back and whatnot.
(I can let you know now that Sallah, my dear boy, has a mass in his abdomen. Dr G (my vet) says he may have a week to a month, she could not really say. Sallah is eating and drinking well and it doesn't seem to trouble yet. When that time comes, I'll let you know. And surprisingly he is doing well for being 18 years of age. It just isn't fair.)
(And something in the mail? Alright I will keep a look out. I still owe you a package in the mail as well.)

Quatre's family is going to be interesting XD I think his is where I strayed the most from actual historical costumes, so we'll see where I go with it. I'm not even sure myself XD

(Darling, you don't owe me anything! Just take care of yourself, ok? )

Thank you for adding the longer hair.
Well whatever you come up with for Quatre will be interesting and worth the weight. Artist license is yours.
(Thank you for your words on Sallah. He is a good boy and all the girl-kitties just love him. I fear that when he leaves, they - Touya, Honey-Bear, Turd even Burrito are going to be very depressed.)
(But I do owe you - I still have your gifts from the holidays to send. At this rate, it may be closer to your birthday. Sorry.)

No problem! And Quatre's family will be a fun challenge, no question
(They'll be very confused for awhile, but they have each other. It's harder when there's only one other cat. )
(Don't worry about it! You have enough on your plate as it is! I promise I'm not offended or anything ^__^ I'd rather you take time for yourself and re-charge

Thanks! The fantasy AU developed is semi-medieval, so I stayed with that in designing the costumes.
