#kabirkhan

​I’ve spent weeks developing a full concept for a new Uma Musume character based on the real-life sensation Kabirkhan. He’s a dirt specialist, the son of the legendary California Chrome, and a horse that was bought for just $12,000 only to shock the racing world.

​The Vision: I have a complete design document (stats, backstory, personality, and lore). We got positive answer from Kabirkhans owner.My goal is to build such a strong fan presence that we eventually get the attention of Cygames.

​Who I need:

​Artists: To bring her personality to life.

​Lore Buffs/Translators: To help bridge the project to the Japanese community.

​Hype-makers: To help share the vision.

​This isn’t just about one drawing; it’s about telling a "Cinderella" story of a girl who thrives in the mud and carries the heavy legacy of her father.

​If you want to see the full Concept Doc check it in my bio. Wanna join the team — DM me or reblog! Let's make history together.

And here she is!

She was very fun to sketch out a mess around with and thank you pinterest for the wide variety of super accessorized outfit inspo

(Tho I highly suggest finding someone who's actually good at fashion design lol 😅)
