National Day Collage! (Patreon)

it's done! I'm planning on printing these on A3 posters and I'll figure out how to sell it.
I would post this online on Aug 1st, so this would be an early access preview for my $3+ patrons ! :D
here's some background:
Singapore's national day is on the 9th of August,
this art piece features all local Singaporean food franchises, clockwise from bottom center - Kopitiam, Beef Bro, Jack's Place, Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Mr Teh Tarik!
The companies are specially selected as it features mascots from the different races of Singapore, the Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian. To make it a nice number and Singapore's age is 55 this year, I included a 5th guy. I've received comments that he looks abit Malay/Chinese so I can just keep it ambiguous, might be a reference to mixed race people.
I've used Peranakan tiles for the background, a feature of unique Singaporean heritage as well as Banana leaves and curcuma plants as the backdrop for a subtle feel.
