Goodness, I made this quite a while ago when I was still crazy about saturated color (in a way I still am, but I fancy I've started to incorporate braver color in my coloring).
I took the inspiration from the folktale of Banjar in Kalimantan Selatan province. The folktale itself is about the girl who searched for her missing husband with the help of a talking Kakatua bird. In her voyage, she had to disguise herself as a man since she had to go aboard a big ship full of men by herself and well that ain't safe for a girl at that time. All in all she went through a pretty crazy adventure and although I really dislike the husband's character in this story, in the end she was reunited with her husband.
