Description
Commission for Female Human Pipe Bard and a Human Half-Elf Harp Bard

The pipe is based on SE Asian bamboo pipes, but the design is based on Indian Bansuri , which it also shared its playing methods and design.
The harp is based on Burmese harp (or Saung), which is not only still played but also maintained one of few harping traditions in Asia.
The female human's clothing is based on fashion from medieval India and SE Asia --both from artworks and period-fantasies--but her pearl-variant of belt worn on waist sashes based on this cover .
The male half-elf's attire is mix of neckmantle and shortless sleeve--credits to Aima's elf attire in the middle for inspiration--along with wearing sarong (mostly influenced by tloraxin's character on left side of this pic since not much visual ref at time of this typing).
As implied in the image, their relationship may have been deeper than music partners. General idea is that the female piper is a musician from an expatriate merchant family while the male harper is child of an Elven diplomat and a local noble.
