[Image Description: Three lineless drawings of people wearing dark blue clothes, on a dark indigo background.
1: A man in a large shirt , loose pants, holding a cane. On his head is a salakot with dangling beads. Cold blue light emanates from under the hat, obscuring his eyes, and from under his loose shirt as well.
2: A woman wearing a maria clara with a huge panuelo that wraps loosely around her shoulders. There is hot pink light coming from the inside of her panuelo and underneath her butterfly sleeves. Her skirt's stripes and the spokes of her bamboo fan are light blue.
3: A woman wearing a terno with a cropped top and long pencil skirt. Lavender lights emanate from the insides of her terno sleeves, under her top and skirt. Faint purple stripes run down both sides of her outfit. /end ID]
Sewing bi colored Filipiniana/terno/butterfly sleeves! This project was something of a personal treat to myself after turning my first round of revisions into my editor for Saints of Storm and Sorrow my Filipino epic fantasy, I really wanted to have something fun and bi and Filipino for author events and book promo type stuff. I'm also working on a version that's book themed 🦪⛈️🇵🇭
Lady D wearing a Filipiniana. What if someone gave it to her as a present haha (it’s me i gave that to her😳) Saw a post by abel fiesta and I thought if it’ll suit her wahaha
This is a colourization and digital restoration of a Filipino woman in the 1900s. She is wearing a Terno gown. I literally have no information on the original b+w. I got it on Pinterest.
So hi, I saw this post on Twitter and I decided, hey, I wanna do that. So I did.
Below you will see my desperate attempt to reconnect with my culture (through HXH) because God knows I suck at my own mother tongue.
First we have Feitan and Shizuku in Barong Tagalog and Baro't Saya. (I included noiseless and noise version.)
Next, we have Chrollo and Pakunoda in Barong Tagalog (Modernized) and Filipiniana (Modernized as well). I actually based Paku's outfit off a Filipiniana I had in 7th grade.
What Pakunoda is holding is La Campana, a local cigar that is actually produced where I live! Pretty interesting stuff. (I also added the noiseless and noise version).
This is not quite what I was planning to post once November hits but I will get around that big piece (I already finished inking one whole page, 4 to go)! Hope you enjoy!
Before I end this post, my friend @colecxre-17 came up with Filipino names for them for fun:
- Don Felipe 'Feitan' Portugal
- Shiela 'Shizuku' Muñoz
- Christian 'Choochoo/Chrollo' Luchavez
- Pamela 'Pakunoda' Palomares
Okay this is the end of the post, see you on the next one!
you know those old phones/consoles with translucent casings so you could see the circuits and stuff inside? here's robot gfs in sheer barongs 🧡

[Image Descriptions: Two robot girls facing each other with giddy smiles and heart-shaped eyes. The taller one has her arms draped over her girlfriend's shoulder, while the shorter one has a hand on her girlfriend's hip.
They are wearing barongs with bell sleeves, sheer enough to show various mechanical body parts and wirings in warm red, orange, and blue. Some of these mimic the shapes of bones or the striations of human muscles. They also wear salakots on their heads, with sheer casing underneath the hats. /end ID]
I made it just in time! My contribution for AAPI month: Immy in a Filipiniana inspired by gumamela (hibiscus)
it’s not the Philippines’ national flower, but it’s nostalgic to me as it was the flower that grew in front of my childhood home before we immigrated to the US. I thought the petals would make a beautiful skirt
