Chakrabhand Posayakrit Kinnaree Dancer Art

Kinnaree / Kinnara / Kinnari

Mythological creature from both Hindu and Buddhist texts.

In Thailand they are depicted as fair women with birdlike lower halves and the ability to fly.

Manora / Manohara is a famous Kinnaree and a heroine of the jataka tales.

Her story is very similar to the ones where a man steals a woman's swan feathers or seal skin and takes her for his wife.

In this version, Manora is usually captured by a hunter and gifted to a prince.

Manora does fall in love with her husband but has her own tribulations with an evil royal councilor which causes her to fly away from her husband but they will eventually reunite.

Someone in my poll tag about Harpy. So I want to introduce you guys to the Kinnaree: South East Asian beautiful harpy.

Another weird fact about Kinnaree that OP hasn't stated is that: Their wings and tail are detachable. YES DETACHABLE!!

When Kinnarees took a bath in the fountain, they took off their wings and tail. And their legs turned into humanoid ones.

If someone stole the detached wings and tail, the Kinnarees will be stuck in their human-like form without the ability to fly and thus cannot return to their city in the Himalaya.

Just like the tennin lady in Hagoromo(Feather Mantle) story from Japan.

The most popular Kinnaree story in Thailand is called Manora (มโนราห์)

Manora is a beautiful Kinnaree. While she was bathing in a fountain with her 6 sisters, A hunter found her hidden wings and stole them. So Manora can't fly home with her sisters and then was captured by the hunter.

The hunter gives Manora to Prince Suthon, the ruler of his town, and the prince falls in love with Manora and makes her his wife.

The problem is the Vizier thinks that having a non-human as princess consort would bring bad luck to the town.(Or in some version, he just wants to paired his own daughter with the prince.)

So when Prince Suthon went to war, the Vizier tricks everyone into believing that they should sacrifice Manora to the Gods to bring good luck.

Manora told the people she will be their sacrifice on one condition. They must give her back her wings and tail and let her dance one last time as a Kinnaree before they could kill her.

As you can guess, Manora dancing enchanted everyone. While they were watching in awe she opened the window and flew back to her home in Himalaya(or Kailash depending on source)

When Prince Suthon came back victorious from war and found out what happened to Manora. He put his retired parents back on the throne and set off on a journey to the Himalaya to find Manora, to apologise to her and beg her to come back.

The journey was long and dangerous but many Gods and Hermits helped him along the way. Manora also left some clues on how to find her along the way because she also wishes to speak to him again.

At last Prince Suthon arrived in the Himalaya, found Manora and apologised to her for leaving her in the city with that wicked Vizier. She forgave him and agreed to go back with him if he could prove himself to her parents that he's strong and responsible enough to take care of her this time.

So, another quest for Suthon, with another help from the Gods he clears all tasks, takes Manora back home. And they live happily ever after.

The Vizier was beheaded.(or just jailed in some version)

Patreon wanted more Thai stuff so here’s a Thai harpy! They’re called Kinnaree. 

Originated from Indian lore, they‘re half human, half bird, but sometimes depicted as full human with wings, live in the Himmapan forest. Appear in Thai dancing, art, sculptures, are a symbol of elegance and beauty. 

I nearly drew her more feral lmaooo

SO, the story is some dude named Ilraj entered Shiva’s forbidden area. So him, along with his homies, was cursed to become women. Then some time later, an ascetic found them and was like “damn girl, all yous so fine”, then turned them all into Kinnarees. Then was like “hold up, ima getchu some husbands”, transformed some dudes, who are then Kinnorn (male Kinnarees). 

It is the weirdest story I translated from wiki lol No one really hears many stories of em, only knowing that they’re pretty bird women lmaoooo

They're fighting hard right now, but they need some help! (Especially Cindy, she's drowning at the moment) The polls can be found here: Candy's poll: [x] Cindy's poll: [x]

Manora Dance รำโนราห์(full) expo 2020 Thailand pavilion

A Manora dance performance.

Manora or Nora is a southern Thai dance style.

It is theatrical, musical and acrobatic.

Many of the stories acted out are taken from the jataka tales.

Dancers wear costumes that evoke bird-like imagery, including long finger claws, a bird tail and a shawl that opens out like wings.

They also wear elaborate beaded costumes.

A little headcanon to my Fnac and popgoes domestic au: rat get into his monster form and wakes up manora at the middle of the night just to spend each others time on the dreamscape

[thatpikmin]

So I had Popgoes brain rot and decided to draw them I tried doing digital doodles and failed, so I made a illustration of Popgoes as a sticker

But that didn’t stop me from continuing to rot about them so I started with drawing the whole cast

I did make a few mistakes when first drawing them but it’s whatever (ones that bothers me the most are Blake’s outfit and Holly’s head feathers) either way love how I drew them so I moved onto the next page

I started with a drawing of manora fangirling over Popgoes and holly being confused about her spending habits at the place (ex. Buying pizza even if she doesn’t like it)

Next is candy and Popgoes, I just really like that idea of candy being so oblivious while Popgoes is the one to make plans (or as explained in the drawing the dumb and smart one)

I made more of them

I continued on with a silly headcanon? Idea? Of morse and blake looking at blueprints together, since their both technicians 

I then thought of holly, I love how I drew her so decided to draw her again but from a different angle, unfortunately, doesn’t look at cute but still pretty good

Ignore the whiteout

Next one to draw was stone, I remember how one of his occupations is that he can replace anyone when something happens, so I thought “if that’s true that means he can replace Popgoes if he’s ever sick” originally I was gonna draw a sick Popgoes but didn’t know how to or where to put him

I was still bothered that I can’t get popgoes’s prints right so I drew him again just to figure it out

I realized I drew everyone except the sisters, so I drew Sara and saffron admiring jewels saffron had

I HIT THE IMAGE LIMIT FUDGE-

Will reblog with continuation

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!

[octyfish]

Art from me? And a large, shaded piece at that? Wow, that's a rarity.

Anyway, this is a piece that I worked on last month to post today! A special Halloween picture that's a crossover of the POPGOES characters and Cluedo/Clue!

I worked real hard on this and I think it came out pretty great! I may end up doing more with this concept in the future.

Anyway, I've rambled on long enough, I hope you guys have a Happy Halloween!
