I have always been fascinated with folklore + mythology and exploring Filipino-Indian influence is just right. there are a variety of ideas I have for her that fall into place with her epithet 'the witch of vanaspati' — a spice merchant in the shadowed alleys of Radz-at-Han, and is a "mangkukulam";

OOOH YYEESS i've been saving these photos just for her hehehehe
She'd look good in this purple Maria Clara dress (left) or this church attire from 18th century (right), to blend in the crowd without noticing her as a mangkukulam (filipino witch) 👀

You often see her in her attire but this is why she wears the veil, to not scare the children she works with.

En filipinas nos encontramos con mangkukulams .
El mangkukulam puede ser curandera o utilizar hechizos de amor para que alguien se enamore de ti
las brujas negras están asociadas con el mal y hacen encantamientos

The other is mangkukulam but I don't think I have enough motivation and the time to go and cap people's knees for every wrong they have done to me.

Ito yung naamoy kong amoy mangkukulam/simbahan. I have a dupe of this kasi this 30mL bottle is 8900. 💀
The dupe however is 2k for 100mL.

you are an albularyo/babaylan. the albularyo/babaylan is the white magic practitioner. the mangkukulam/mambabarang is the black magic practitioner. albularyo is the colonial word for babaylan, from spanish word herbolario, so pinoy polytheistic revivalists use babaylan more to take our culture back.

I personally don't know any practicing Mangkukulam now but I do remember an experience in my childhood where my mum said I was a victim of kulam (we had to go visit an Albolaryo and all). I took a bit from that memory when coming up with her design.

This character is a bit different from the other two in a way that it's kind of an homage to a Filipino Archetype (if you can call it that hahah) She is based on Mangkukulam which is a Filipino equivalent of a Witch. We thought it was perfect to be our version of Warlocks

Unfortunately I didn't think it really fit well in Filipino, as both words would have to be inflected to say what they mean properly, so it would be something like
'manlalakbay-mangkukulam'
which I feel is too long at that point.

An attempt at drawing Mangkukulam from my original story, The Would-Be Lakan, not yet satisfied with it though so might rework him a bit more #digitalart #art #filipino #filipinoartist
