What I enjoy most is creating historical stuff, clothes and/or props, preferably based on real-world references.
Since I'm always looking for new ideas I'd like to ask you: which is your favourite era for which you'd like to see more products?
Thank you in advance for your ideas :)

    1930's is a big one for me. i've been looking for a 1930's era movie camera.

    A lot of my stuff is inspired by old movies and radio serials, I've been wanting to do some renders recreating some classic scenes from the 1933 King Kong.

    I'd love to see some English Civil war styles uniforms, more roundheads than cavaliers.

    Victorian men's wear.

    Not sure if this falls under an era, but I'd love to see men and woman qui-pao as I believe they are called.
    With those beautiful embroidered fabrics :)

    Clothing from Colonial period with outfits for the 'rich', 'poor' and the servants.

    Clothing for ranch/farm workers in the early 1800's to late 1800's.

    Sign me up for Victorian clothing which could also include steampunk as well as '30s to 40s American clothing for those Private Detective/Gangster renders. In the later case I'm talking more suits and such than everyday clothing.

    Edwardian and 1920's would be nice as well, ,ale and female.

    Of course I am old fashioned enough to want them for Gen 4 as well

    Let me say I love your work!!! In addition to the colonial period mentioned above, I'd love to see Medieval, Tudor, Elizabethan and Jacobean era clothing for men and women. And I would adore one of those coats that Sherlock Holmes wears (old school Sherlock, not Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock) - for both men and women. I love the work you do with clothing textures as well so I would be definitely interested in add-on texture packages for clothing you sell here and/or at other sites.

    I would love to see more 1920s and 1930s stuff. Or more "Atomic Age" style stuff from the 1940s to the early 1960s.

    Hyborian (Conan the Barbarian - an interpretation of ancient & classical), Medieval, Dieselpunk (30s & 40s but doesn't need to be strictly accurate), Colonial/Steampunk/Victorian (1860-1919 with similar accuracy as Dieselpunk).

    Naturally, I'm always interested in anything well made, but the above categories would certainly get my "must have" radar twitching like a ferret in a sack, hehehe.

    I think all these suggestions are great. Adding a vote to push Colonial style higher on your list :D

    This. Would love to see clothing representing old South style clothing, including clothes worn by plantation owners and their servants. I could do a lot of inspirational, emotional, dramatic work with outfits like that.

    Especially the second. Pioneer days, ranchers, and farmers. Cattle drives and a reason to use lots of horses. We have a couple of stagecoaches and Faveral's chuckwagon and covered wagon. We have Western towns. Now let's use them with properly clothed people. :)

    +1 on LycanthropeX's comment, the dirty thirties is my mostly used, and sadly very understocked favorite period in time.

    Btw Lycan, I have a Movie camera...

    If you are looking for ideas... :-) I'll have a need for male Jacobean merchant clothes to illustrate a story when it is written, and sailors clothes from that period as the characters head to the New World. I was fascinated with the quality of the male Italian Renassance clothes worn outside the Vatican in the recent Borgias series. Could use some really well made Jeremy Brett era Sherlock Holmes clothes to make pictures for a friend.

    Would love to see more Roman clothing for men and women. We have a lot of gladiator stuff, but there is a gap in togas, tunics, stola, and palla. Different textures and different colours for different classes. I love your Kassandra dress and use it constantly for classical images.

    1960s (meaning up to early 70s) and 1920s, as well as the earlier Art Nouveau era, would be interesting to me.

    Wearing a fancy dress on horseback is a specialization in itself, takes some serious morphs to drape right (or dynamics, with their own complexities). Would love to see some dresses designed for this.

    Late 1980s-Early 90s. Glam Rock, Death Metal, Punk, Baggy pants, and Neon-colored Hip-Hop attires (for the MC Hammer/ Vanilla Ice look, yeah!), Baywatch-esque 1 piece swimsuits and high cut bikinis (which were really classy compared to the dental floss ones these days :p ) On that note, Big Hair, with tons of spraynet and Mullets all around!

    I am very partial to things from the Regency era to the start of the First World War. In particular the Edwardian era. My points of reference being "Emma", "Jane Eyre", "Gone With the Wind", "My Fair Lady", "The Great Race, and "Downton Abbey". As a side note to any hair makers reading this, if anyone makes Maggie DuBois' hair from "The Great Race", you have an instant sale from me.
