DESI/INDIAN MIKU REAL!!!

I love the international miku trend sm so i wanted to join!!

She's playing the sitar in the first image and offering the PEAKEST of peak foods, FISH FRY!!! it's my favorite food!!

she's wearing a type of south asian attire, the kurta, here. I've worn one before, and it's quite comfortable!

Though I'm indian, I was born and raised in AMERICA [cue bald eagle noises and national anthem]. I know a little bit about indian culture, but not that much. I hope did good here!!

Fun fact: Bharatanatyam dancers use "Alta," a red dye, on their hands and feet to draw attention to them. I wanted to add that to Miku since she's an idol! I've also seen red sharpie being used for this purpose.

sitar drawing inspiration by rixypill!

Will probably post more drawings of desi miku soon!!

Making An Entirely New Pokémon Region! PART 2 — Samphirea's Starters.

Hello and good day, evening, afternoon, wherever you are! This is part two of MAENR, and we have headed to the starters now! If you don't know what's going on, I suggest you check my other post, which is Part 1.

Lets dive right in! ART INCOMING!!!!!

NOTE: The reason why there arent any colors or shading is because theese drawings are concepts. I will finish them another day.

Following a Grass/Fire/Water trio, the starters will be based on some of the most popular animals in India!

And for this I've picked:

- Bengal Tiger (For a Water Type)

- Indian Cobra (For a Fire Type)

- Indian Peafowl (For a Grass Type)

_ _ _

Originating from the forests, comes Sapphlume, the Luminescent Fledgling Pokémon possesing the Grass type.

This pokémons crystals on it's forehead and the one attached to the string-like "ahoge" are said to glow in the dark.

Sapphlume, as for the personality, is very wary at first when meeting its trainer or someone new, however easily tamed and become friendly once getting to know them better.

At level 15, Sapphlume evolves into Aegisfowl, the Opulent Plume Pokémon.

At this stage, the Pokémon becomes more aggressive and defensive when it comes to their dearest friends, almost always keeping an eye on them. This HIGHLY increases their DEFENSE stat.

When close to evolution, Aegisfowl tends to become more tame, and less aggressive.

And then finally, at level 36, comes in Spectryterra, the Royal Luminary Pokémon.

This Pokémon is given a Ground type as a secondary type, refrencing the fact that wild Spectryterras are commonly found in forest-like parts of Landouraville.

As for behaviour? Spectryterras are completely tame and gentle, almost calm in any situation, while they remain on the watch for their folks.

Their majestic looks give them the ability "Cute Charm".

Residing from cold riverbanks, comes in Mistdrop, the Striped Mist Pokémon possesing the Water type.

It is said that it's antennas point to a looked object or person, when Mistdrop picks up a scent.

As for behaviour, Mistdrops are really enthusiastic, yet curious, if they're going to a new place, expect this Pokémon to be sniffing around EVERYTHING.

At level 15, Mistdrop evolves into Vapormistrix, the Pure H2O Pokémon, keeping the Water type.

At this stage, the pokémon's fangs become bigger and stronger.

Theese Pokémon are often said to be really independent, and rarely listen to orders.

And finally, at level 36, Vapormistrix evolves into Mystiqflow, the Flowy Rainmaker Pokémon.

It is said that the antennas can also be used to predict it's opponents next move, but also one's emotions, giving this Pokémon a secondary Psychic type.

This mon gains back dependence on its trainer, and also loves hugs, which might soak the trainer wet because of it's trails on the paws and naturally cold bodies like Ice, making them learn a few Ice-Type moves.

As for more info, this Pokémons fangs are even bigger, however it keeps them hidden a lot.

- - - - - - - -

Originating from hot deserts, comes out Flagramask, the Masked Cobra Pokémon.

This Pokémon tends to share alot in common with Cubones, and trainers often find their Flagramasks with them, as they make great friends.

At first, Flagramask is really restrained, and acts like nothing really matters to them, yet deeply cares about it's folks.

At level 15, Flagramask evolves into Meltmaskra, the Melted Skull Pokémon.

They are now more venomous, causing them to learn a few Poison-Type moves, as crystals also start growing out of its body. Some say, the longer the spikes, the closer to evolution it is.

As for acts, this Pokémon becomes territorial, however their synergy is still boosted when a Cubone is nearby, almost treating it like a younger sibling, or its young.

Yet finally, at level 36, Meltmaskra evolves into Maskaldra, the Spiked Dragon Pokémon.

The spikes on it's back have grew out, and tend to be worse than a rose's thorns. A bright, saturated flame on the mask's horns. This Pokémon gains "Dragon" as it's secondary type.

This Pokémon is very aggressive and territorial, yet a good parent, and very affectionate to their trainers.

Indian Navy as a net security guarantor in the South Asian region

By N. C. Bipindra With the changing sea line of communication and the economy’s eastward shift, maritime security has become one of the most substantial economic and human security pillars.

[cyatzura]

also oda himself always said that he is heavily involved in the live action and the casting so he is probably also at fault like i was never a big fan of the alabasta arc (and skypiea) because the setting can be painfully ... stereotypically ... but to some extent it was an early 2000s manga arc so ... okay but the fact that oda himself is seemingly willing to use so much arabian influence and still does not insist on casting MENA actors in the two most important roles ....

does anybody have any blog recs, masterposts, or other resources for writing desi characters/cultures?

🪑🧔🏾‍♂️🌹 After a few weeks of trying to get the grey slacks to complete his look, Chairman Rose is ready to step into the world of Animal Crossing. I made the jacket if anyone’s interested. It’s even complete with his pixel-y Rolex. He doesn’t get much cuter than this.

His giant office overlooks the city of Wyndon where he can sip on tea and eat curry while Oleana does all the actual work.
