[APH OCs] Western Side of Vojvodina

Description

Continue with my Serbian folk costumes chibis project...here come Novi Sad, Subotica, Petrovaradin and Sremska Mitrovica.

Vojvodina is an autonomous province located in northern Serbia consists of seven smaller districts of three main groups; Bačka (North Bačka-Subotica, West Bačka-Sombor and South Bačka-Novi Sad), Banat (North Banat, Central Banat and South Banat) and Srem (pronounces 'see-rem'). The three Banat district are on the eastern half of Vojvodina, all bordering Romania - therefore, they're not included in this lot and will be drawn separately some time later...


Now truthfully the OCs I drew here aren't the complete gang of the non-Banat districts. Sombor is missing because I haven't concluded with his design yet, so the guy that got shoved into the picture instead is Petrovaradin. Because ethno region-wise Petrovaradin is located in Srem, thus wearing a male folk costume from Srem although he's an agglomeration of Novi Sad who's located in Bačka.

Supposedly you'll see another form Srem male folk costume when I draw Zemun who's also in Srem region originally but got attached to Belgrade since 1934. Tongue 


BTW, Petrovaradin is mentioning the 'Orz' emoticon in his speech bubble because although he's much older and, by my head canon, actually raised Novi Sad up, nowadays he pretty much can't scold Novi Sad when he misbehaves anymore since Novi Sad has become his superior. //the poor guy...

Also, normally the hairstyle accompanying folk costumes in Srem is the same as in Bačka. However, my Sremska Mitrovica OC has a shorter, somewhat curly hair as you can see. Plus I also discovered that many times the long braid you see circling around the girl's head in most Serbian folklor groups isn't her real hair but a fake braid which is said to require a long time to put on. OMG ANOTHER SHOCK. Therefore...Sremska Mitrovica just shrugs it off and keeps her natural style on.
