What is Mild Spice's Culture Inspiration?
He's inspired from Burning Spice himself, who's based on Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, so I would say they're based on the same culture. Since he's meant to be as close to his father as possible, and Burning Spice is the sole parent, he has nearly identical features (eyes, hair, outfit styling, etc), albeit with minor differences.
However, his melee spear is where I took some unique inspiration from the culture.
The design is based on Vel, a divine spear wielded by Kartikeya (or Murugan), the Hindu god of war. Specifically, I used these as reference for the shape of the tip.
As for the rest of the details of the spear, such as the diamond and star shapes, those are taken from Burning Spice's own weapon, his parashu.
