Zorustache sailor uniform above only differs in the pants' hue; tbh, the right one looks better, eh.

This uniform consisted of a polo shirt, pants, a sailor hat, and a putee.

The color of the shirt and hat uses teal to match the sky, while the pants use ocean green to match the ocean.

Thank you for visiting my mockup presentation, have a great day.

The Kingdom/Socialist Memory of Trilasnahe Elephant People

It is a flag used by both the former monarchy of Trilasnahe (the Hampal dynasty) and now socialist Trilasnahe (founded by the Great Leader Xotah Manghru si Soetampu [xot̪ah maŋh͜ru sɪ sœt̪ãmpu]) after the abolition of the monarchical family during the Trilasna Sangngom Mah'ru Pixatuh (Socialist Elephant Movement Party) [t͜rɪlɑsna sɑŋŋɔm mahru pixat̪uh], or aka Trisampi [t͜rɪsãmpi] uprising and rebellion, leading to a bloody civil war that caused immense death among loyalists, socialists, and innocent civilians. After 10 years of bloody civil war, the Trisampi managed to execute many of the remaining monarchical family and exiled the last queen of Trilasnahe, Hratu Xri Noeh-Hampal [h͜rɑtu x͜rɪ nœh hãmpal], to an unknown country, presumably to an ally of the Trisampi.

The flag consisted of three primary colors and three symbols :
Red: it once represented royalty, but now it represents bravery and the blood of the people who support the cause of the rebellion.
White: it once represented divinity, but now it represents the togetherness and harmony of the people/herd.
Black: it once represented the strength of the kingdom; now it represents the strength of the people.

The three symbols are as follows:
5 stripes: represent the 5 main provinces in Trilasnahe.
Elephant foot: represents the permanence of the people of Trilasnahe on their land.
Elephant head: the Torch represents everlasting memory and knowledge, and also a beacon for the people; the striped ears represent cohesion amongst the people, and the Head itself represents the literal representation of the elephant people of Trilasnahe.

The flag can be paraphrased as follows:
"The memory bears a torch instill of hope, standing still, for the land that they feel"

* A herd of elephants is also called a memory btw.

Here is my promise to myself weeks ago or maybe months ago? When I say "I want to make something from scratch" I. mean. it. And this is the product, slopy, and ugly (i hope it is functional enough).

Lore :

In Pokhastaji military, there are three branches, airforce, army, and navy. The Four Feathers Council always prioritaze the development of the air force more than the other two branches, with the navy being the least funded. Basically the air force will get 65% of the total fund, while the army and navy will get 30% and 5%.

With very limited funds, the army have to invest in their equipment and armory wisely, moreover the Council forbid any of the branch to purchase non-domestic equipments, leaving every branch to develop their own products, this includes engines, armaments, bombs, radio, etc.

At the beginning of Relikurr-Pokhastaji War, the army start a development of Gawkur cruiser tank that could move quickly and mobile to breakthrough enemy territory, they have made the chasis and gun, but they lack proper engine to power the tank, the army at first tried to negotiate with the air force to purchase some of their fast engine, in which they refuse, leaving no choice the army develop their own engine, thus begin the research and production of ParinkaR Mk.1 Engine, it was named after the head engineer of the research, KwaykoR ParinkaR.

This engine features 9.5L 6 inline cylinders, combustion ignited, with compression ratio of 7, the Bore is 12cm in diameter, and the Stroke 14cm in depth, the optimal brake work is somewhere around 2400 RPM, and due to limited funding, most of the metal used for the engine are casted metals (especially the crank and the pistons). The engine materials and manufacturing method could hasten and cheapen the process, but as a result the crew would not be able to operate the tank for too long, or push the engine too hard to avoid overheating and overcycle. Further research and analysis (and funding ofc) is required.

*You do not have to read the rest of my empty rant here

Do you know how I almost went INSANE down a rabbit hole making this? 3 months of studying engine engineering and thermodynamics autodidactly without any background of the said related field only to scratch the surface?

The image here only take less than a day to be maid, same for the piston animation, but it is the battle and understanding the concept and mechanism that take so long, and another battle fighting study and drawing burnout, procastinations, anxiety, and uncertainity of my efforts.

In the end, I survive (with shome whining here and there), I manage to design my own engine block (complete with proto-specs), understand some thermodynamic processes to further reinforce my rifle and engine design, and apply my mechanical engineering study.

Is this the end? No, I want to dive deeper, but what's important for me is that i get the fundamental math and concept, which i did. This is just one of many types of engine I want to make, next stop would be electrical piston engine, and a nuclear engine (i would not have a problem with the electrical one, But for the nuclear engine you will know what that means, yes, studying Nuclear Engineering! yay! (this is not sarcasm btw))

Before I move to electric engine, i have to connect this with the fuel source i made, fossil fuel does not exist in my world, so the chemical composition would be different, so, again, you know what I would do, yes, learn more chemistry, yay! (not sarcasm btw)

Thanks for reading this far, as I said, this image you see here is my sweat, tears, sanity, and time.

I have no background in engine engineering btw, that engine design? Is the result of my grueling effort +3 months studying thermodynamics and mechanical engineering autodidactly (only to scratch the surface), the image itself ironically made less than a day.

I ALMOST went insane studying the math and fighting my burnouts and depression at the same time.

But, just like my all weapons and uniform designs, I am proud of it.

sorry, i do not have the spirit to add meaningful description at the moment.

The script used here is an abugida.

It is not the best out there, but, it is what it is.

As much as i want to write something.

this is just a mock-up, nothing special.

No engines yet, still in the making.

Boma Zapim is an abundant element distributed all over of Ar'dun. It is a type of heavy metal, stable, and sublimed at room temperature, it has red color very similar to that of blood (hence the name). When the element sublimes, it releases transparent and odorless Bz^(-4) anions, which can be used as combustion fuel, or used in an electrochemical battery for electric engines.

If the gas is used with oxygen in a combustion process, it will produce BzO4 gas, a reddish gas with a very strong metallic odor. Direct prolonged exposure on the skin could cause rash and skin cancer, while if inhaled too much could cause death to the lungs and heavy Bz poisoning. Its gas also environmentally hazardous. Areas that is heavily polluted with this gas are to be abandoned and any source of food or water contaminated are to be avoided and destroyed. This is why Bz is rarely used, and only needed for super heavy machinery that requires a lot of torque to move, such as landships and heavy mining equipment; instead Bz ores often used for battries instead to power many electrical engines in Ardun.
