Still, I think it's a great question that not only clears something up but reveals some backstory and we get to see Puzzle in a cute outfit

It's a win-win!

Gotta love some proper backstory now and then.

Wow... totally agreed on her statement - that looks so elegant and beautiful on her.

Hmm... I wonder if she breaks out into song for no apparent reason while everyone around her dances a bunch. What? Straight up Bollywood!

Bootywood

That likely comes after the dance shoot.

Oh hey, my grandparents were English and lived in India until my mum was born. I've still got the cinefilm from their time there in the 1950s :) Puz looks cute in her sari too :3

Agreed. If I don't see at least one musical number she does with Spiderman and 90 backup dancers while shooting at ninjas while standing atop a motorcycle then I AM UNWATCHING YOU SIR.

No, we're not re-enacting Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark :V

UNWATCHED THEN SIR

T~T

You forgot that this is while they are all astride the great white shark, shooting laser beams from it's eyes, being carried aloft by three mighty asian elephants decked out in red and gold. No giant turtle. Wrong universe. >:D

Oh cool! :D

Yeah, it is rather :) They got some good footage of elephants that wandered up to their villa while they were out there too. And general 1950s larking about :3

Though it is declared non-canon, that sort of backstory would make her and Patrick's incestuous attraction a bit more plausible, being separated and not quite developing that kind of incestuous taboo.

Still, Puz looks utterly adorable in that sari! Also, guessing more than likely Puzzle isn't Hindi, though that would be kinda funny the first time she saw Nightshade get her nom on with a steak...

It could also make it more plausible since they grew up separated so they really don't have that sibling rivalry thing going on. Y'know, for the Puz/Pat shipping crowd :B

LOL! Puz isn't Hindi, but she probably would be terrified seeing Nightshade chow down on a rare steak :B

Well, I know I'm certainly a deckhand on that ship.

But, yes, that sounds very funny.
NS: Gnoph, nom, omph!
Puz: O.O!!!
NS: Mm? Oh, damn, this is really culturally insensitive.
Pat: Only to herbivores. Want a napkin for the blood?

Pat looks at Puz. He's like 'You get used to it' XD

She really looks quite pretty in that outfit there. :>

It's probably b/c of my struggling to get the outfit right. All those draping fabrics conceal her curves X3

What's truly ironic,. is that some incredible saris dp a great job showing off the curve of the body. It really is in how it is designed to drape and fold across the form. They (the Saris) are an incredible art form unto themselves. Going over to Little India, east of Los Angeles, in Artesia, California, I think, there are stores upon stores of all these just amazing Saris, from simple to ones that make Bollywood seem plain and staid. And you can try them all on. O_O!

Hmm Saris are a fixed length. We have local shops where they have sari by the bolt.

Not a proper sari wrap BTW.

Sorry? I just had to go with what I could find with google search.

Delete your account.

I just imagine your giraffe wearing an unnecessarily long scarf and a weird hairdo. "DARLING, I know fashion." And then snapping your fingers.

Only after the overly sassy flinging of the scarf over my shoulder!

My wife the costume enthusiast can do one. Scottish decent BTW. The average Sari would be way short for Puzzle to wear. She would either have to go with a duple length or get custom.

I would assume in a world of vastly different sized people they have different standard lengths.

Okay, well, I don't have that kind of personal experience with cultural costumes. The video you linked is very helpful so thank you for that, but in the future, it would be more helpful to include that as an explanation than just saying 'this isn't proper' and not explaining why until later.

You have no idea. We do Steampunk because my wife LOVES Victorian clothing. She took seven outfits to a four day con. Worn all of them.

There are saris, sideless surcoats, peasant dresses pirate outfits. And far too many Victorian outfits.

Sue said you can adjust the sari by making the pleat fronds smaller or fewer Yes, I get a lot of this. I tie corsets too.

Wow she really looks lovely

Love saris. So much work goes into putting them on.

Yes I do agree. Saris are gorgeous and among my favorite formal wear for ladies. c:

What is Londoners?

People who live in London. Also, a story by Kadath.

Upcoming webcomic featuring my characters.

Great job here.

Whoa, so very awesome. :D

I have no idea if the sari is 100% accurate. I just think it's a lovely picture, and a cute outfit for Puz.

Having said that, if the sari ISN'T 100% accurate, perhaps that could be canon? Puz only lived there for a little bit and perhaps wasn't able to absorb all the proper nuances of the sari? I dunno, spitballing.

It's more of a thing where I spent several hours researching saris, and found looots of different versions for different occasions. I was like 'what would an immigrant, middle-class, agnostic English girl wear?' and I mostly just had to guess, since that's not really something you can readily find.

I imagine her sari stylings are really rough, since she would only wear them for special events nowadays.

But yeah, even if it's not 100% accurate, I tried X3

well, in my completely uneducated opinion, I think you did a fine job.

She... reminds me to much of Beli Laprain... I feel weird now.

Ooh, pwetty.~<3 ^\\\\^

Absolutely wonderful

Puzzle is as beautiful as always

I am learning some Indian culture for my Chinese/Indian character Katalia. Hope I get it right. X3

Indian culture is very complex. It won't be easy, but very rewarding!

I know that, I was looking it up, and anything can be made at bit easier with proper research and notes if you do it right. What reward are we talking about?

No need to be tense. I'm just saying that it can be personally rewarding to educate yourself on something.

Tense?

Nice to see a little bit of her past. Now I wonder what everyone else did when they were younger...

naw, if grew up there, she would have had the red dot tattoo in middle of forehead as Indian women do.

You mean a Bindi. Those are worn by Hindus. Puzzle is not religious.

This is way too awesome. How about a Puz pin up wearing a bindi and nothing else? Or that cute little drawing indian women make on their arms and feet?

...I had this assumption that a giraffe would be of African descent. Well, there's a saying about assumptions.

Now we need Puz in Beli's outfit.

Does Puzzle speak Indian? Also does she have any hint of an accent along with her British accent?

Yes and yes!

Sweet!!! Does she likes spicy food?

Hmm hadn't thought of that. I imagine so, given the culture!

It would be funny for dinner night when she asked Diamond to try some curry or something. XD

I think, personally, that this is my favorite pic of Puzzle as of yet, even more than my commission from you from way back when. She looks great in that Sari!

:D

great backstory and she carries it so well; beautiful clothes and very intricate:)

d'aw... puz looks so pretty is a sari!

Mmmm, Sari's aren't the best Indian thing. You ever had Diwali sweets? Those things are like... condensed bliss.

PS, England + India? So she grew up in Leicester then?

I always thought of her parents being involved in gov't work or something close to that, and so she was born and returned to London. I take it you were thinking Leicester because of the large Indian population?

Pretty much! I live there, so I get to enjoy all the Diwali celebrations and things.

Looking beautiful as always Puzzle dear ^^

Now I have to immagine her always talking british <3 lovely!

Divali is celebrated where I'm from (Trinidad & Tobago), women dress up in traditional indian wear (saris et al) on that occasion. That said, I've never drawn any of my characters wearing a sari because I'm still not sure how its wrapped.

Amazing outfit!!

Puzzle you look absolutely magnificent.

Very elegant!

That outfit looks amazing on her! So beautiful.

Indian fashion is indeed the fucking best and man she is gorgeous in that sari <3

Wow!! Patric your sis looks so nice on her SARIS she´s so pretty

I must say, she looks pretty in that fashion.

She may be mostly Indian, but I wanna see her Nepals.

OMG! Puz looks sooo CUTE in that getup!
