#merdeka

Bunga Raya (the flower on Ghost's head) aka Hibiscus is our national flower

Soap is wearing Chinese traditional outfit (Sam Fu), Price is wearing Indian Shawl

Price is holding Chinese and Nyonya adjacent food: Pao and 9 layer kuih (pronounced as Jiu Chen Gao)

Ghost is holding Malay food: nasi lemak and Soap is holding ice coffee (we say "ais kopi ikat tepi" where drinks are stored in plastic bags)

Gaz is holding Indian food Roti Tissue (yes it's that tall!!)

The word "Selamat Hari Merdeka" is colored based on Malaysia flag color!

Being MEANING to make fanart of these three when Merdeka is around the corner~ So HERE ARE THEY!~!~ (Hope you like them, it took me like almost 2 weeks to make-)

I've been headcanoning their ethnicities with the following:

MALAY ORANG ASLI (IBAN) CHINESE-MALAY (MIXED)

Reason??? .... I don't know, man. I just agreed with my brain for these 3's ethnicities would be that- (Again these are just headcanons-)

I would LOVE more info of these 3, since their not really in the comics (I COULD BE WRONG and they actually are in the comics- Please do correct me on this!) I really like the captain and the VERY ANXIOUS one alot, I would like to know about the pink-haired guy more, hope to see them again despite the chances are low- I THINK THEY'RE NEAT~ :D ✨💛💜✨

If people like to know what the Aces' traditional clothing, respectively, are called:

The anxious guy on the left is wearing a Baju Melayu.

The Ace Captain in the middle is wearing a Cheongsam.

The Pink-Haired guy on the right is wearing a Gagong.

The Ace's Captain's other clothing she is wearing is a Baju Kurung.

I tried my very best to make their traditional clothing accurate as I look through some of their refences- And when it comes to the patterns on their clothes, I unfortunately had to simplify them since it's a STRUGGLE to make intricate details on my canvas- 😭 That being said, I could EASILY get somethings wrong, as well unintentionally appropriate something when drawing their clothing (especially the Ace Captain's and the pink-haired guy's traditional clothing since I don't grow up or familiar with Iban or Chinese Culture). If you are more knowledgeable with the culture(s) and realize I made a mistake somewhere, PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW!! Will edit the post for corrections if there's any! 👍

WELP that's the end of this post- Hope you enjoy the art works (and the silly edit) I made for this special ocassion~

Also, RAKYAT-RAKYAT MALAYSIA, SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA~ :D ✨💙💛❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤✨ STRIVING A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THE CONTRY!! (Hope the government won't be stupid and actually help ALL CITIZENS of Malaysia. YA ALLAH AMIN )
