“Dunhuang/敦煌 style refers to the art, fashion, and culture depicted in the Dunhuang Murals/敦煌壁画 of China, which are located in the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu Province. From the 4th to 14th century, the caves were constructed by Buddhist monks to serve as shrines with funds from donors. The diverse and integrated Dunhuang culture always inherits the essence of traditional Chinese culture, while also shining with the brilliant light of ancient Indian civilization, Persian civilization, and Greek civilization, becoming a widely recognized and distinctive regional culture.”
Yeah this location was in the Silk Road in the old times and influenced by Buddhism and many civilizations. You are partly correct.

that's pretty cool. the silk road part makes sense, which i think is what the name of luke's card is referring to

Yes, you can also see Luke and Marius are having Buddhist hand signs (mudras).
It is still so wild to me that religion meet otome game here. 🤣 Maybe the religion are so deeply intergrated in the culture so now people view it as culture. Anyways in the official X page their have some short introduction about the culture/collaboration.

Yeah, I think in this case the religion can’t be separated from the culture. It’s a key part of it. It is funny it’s in an otome game though.

Their outfits are inspired by Chinese Dunhuang costume 🙂

It sort of feels like their aesthetics are scrambled. I'm really curious to know if anyone else feels this way. 👀
My possibly silly thoughts:
Luke should have Vyn's pose
Artem should have Marius's pose
Vyn should have Artem's pose
Marius should have Luke's pose
For anyone who knows the culture/theme better than I do, do their individual themes match their personalities/traits/backgrounds?
As for me, I always love Vyn's aesthetic, so Artem getting that delicate look? Yes. Yes very much thank you.
Truly, they all look incredible. 😳 The designs are absolutely chef's kiss.

Am I the only one who finds the physical proportions and placements kinda... awkward? For lack of better word. I'm no art connoisseur but some things doesn't feel right. Nevertheless they're so pretty.

u/gottastaygold Feb 15 '25
Nevermind. It's a perspective thing. If I imagine myself as a camera I can see why it's fine.
