I started playing D&D with some friends recently, and made this character! (I’m the DM so I can’t actually play him, but shhh...) His name is Mangkhut (mangosteen), and he’s a shifter monk. I designed his outfit using signature Hmong traditional wear as inspiration, which features black clothing embroidered with detailed, colorful bands, and silver bells and jewelry as accents.
I based his faceplate on the Thai interpretation of Hanuman, who is king of the monkeys and a master of martial arts.
Please consider checking out Hmong Archives and Hmong Cultural Center, which are nonprofits that work to conserve and educate people on Hmong art and culture ^__^
