Akila - Final-ish Design

ME GUSTA

Fellow OC dog owner.

I like.

amiward a kente cloth?

I took more inspiration from Maasai designs, and from what I'm reading now, Kente cloth is pretty important/sacred. This is more her getting fancy for the sake of looking fancy, rather than important rituals.

'Course, considering that most of the designs I looked at were a result of modernized commercial printing, these clothes may have been created by weaving, but it's not intended to be specifically ceremonial, no.

The Maasai: Nopony does flair better XD.

any particular symbolism behind the cutie mark? I don't recognize it.

Yep! It's not an actual cutie mark, but a tattoo. (I know either is acceptable for the zebra lore as it stands, but I went with the tattoo.) The design and the reasoning behind it can be found here behind the spoiler at the end of the first post.
