ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024It's not the flashiest design but I had so much fun researching, learning so many new things and trying to incorporate them back to Nahidas design, a character I adore! 010
ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024Rukkhadevatas other title was Aranyani, and the actual goddess is said to have worn anklets with bells that were heard in the forest. Tho I removed the bells, since Rukkhadevata is dead and forgotten now, and so you can't hear her anymore. :') 130
ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024-Saraswati (also goddess of wisdom and more), Aranyani (forest goddess) , a forest fairy from the buddhist Kusanali Jataka tale, and like even more. And for the last detail: I gave her anklets, in reference to Aranyani/Rukkhadevata. 120
ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024The Mehndi design is a Lotus to reference one of her inspirations: Anahita, persian goddess of wisdom and flowing waters and where Nahida's name comes from. She is also inspired by hindu goddesses like- 150
ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024Additionally I added a maang tikka (head jewelry) and earrings. I kept her bangle and the ghanta bell (used in hindu rituals) on the back as these are the other cultural elements she has 130
ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024What I did change are the sleeve things (?) To an actual dupatta, which is a type of long scarf. Put even more bodhi symbols there. Sorry for bad pic 120
ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024These prominently feature the bodhi leaf, which symbolizes in buddhism enlightenment and wisdom. So it was important for me to not alter those elements, and I changed almost nothing else on the dress. 120
ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024I based her dress on the lehenga instead of the basic dress, as it's closest to her silhouette (missed opportunity, hyv!). Its traditional wear, yet not as ancient as the saree which i thought fits nahidas youthfulness. Tbh I just split the dress in 2 lol, as i love her patterns 120
ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024So I always wished Nahida would have more cultural motifs in her design. I really wanted to see something that could be realistically in the game, that adds to the original, while retaining the few great details hyv put in her design so I thought why not do it myself! 220
ookaryi @ookaryi.bsky.social · 20/10/2024My take on Nahida's design! Full design and breakdown below shortly #genshinimpact 12110
