I started painting this perhaps a month - or almost two - back. Prior to that I haven't been doing anything for a while - I was just so insanely busy. This is meant to be a 'warm-up', you know, when you haven't done something in a while you tend to get rusty, so I wanted to do something relatively 'easy'.

This is very South-East Asian influenced, and also I wanted to do something fusion-y.

I hope I will do something more exciting in terms of concept and composition in my future works, but here it is for now

Some parts of the background have texture overlays from stock texture photos (esp on the top centre, top left and left side).
