the @gvartistsforpalestine commission said, "mals tattoo and part of his face"
I really enjoyed drawing on motifs from Southeastern Russian (including Slavic motifs and groups like the Shor), Mongolian, Kazakh, and northwestern Chinese art and embroidery for this design. Mal's background (even whether he knows his parents or not) isn't explored in the show, even at times it was deeply weird for it not to come up--like meeting the twins with Alina, or when he and Alina discuss their relationship to the Ravkan regime 🥴🤔. Yet season 1 clearly shows and implies Mal is somehow "other" like Alina, but is more ethnically ambiguous and presumably able to dodge some of the racism she gets. Therefore I made the designs on the theory that he, like Alina, is either half Shu or from a border area where the distinction is inapplicable.
That being said, I think show!Mal being half Suli would be very interesting. It is the analog to Archie Reneaux's background (in the sense that it appears south Asian actors are being cast for the Suli).
