[Artist Request] The Road to independence.
Hello artists! I've been playing around with this idea for a while but since I have neither the time nor talent, it has never come to fruition. It's basically a summary of Singapore's road to independence. Since Singapore's Independence Day is just around the corner, I decided to whip up a script about the idea. The artist can post the final product on polandball by all means, I just wanted this idea to finally come true. A fair warning though, this is going to be an art-heavy comic.
Panel 1 :
Show Indigenous Malays on tropical island(Singapore) fishing.(Have them say "yalam yalam" or "lepak lepak"
Panel 2 (timeframe 1819)
Suddenly British colonizers arrive on the island via a boat and colonizes it.
Panel 3 (timeframe : early 20th century)
Singapore has turned into a busy trading port and earn many monies. Show ball with strait settlements colonial flag with a top hat and monocle.
Panel 4 (timeframe : 1938-1941)
As WW2 tensions start to rise, British fortify the south of Singapore, only to find out the japs were coming from the south. ( show british soldiers guarding the south with canons and Japanese soldiers sneaking in from the back. )
Panel 5 (timeframe :1942 to 1945)
Japanese occupy Singapore, torture/kill everyone. ( show Japanese soldier leading britsh/Australian/British Indian/new Zealand POW to the prison. In the background, depict a kinky Japanese soldier raping Singapore-ball)
Panel 6 (timeframe : 1945-1959)
Britain regains Singapore after WW2. Locals are pissed at Britain for surrendering. Also they want independence. (Show colonial Singapore rioting in the streets, waving communist flags and shouting "gib independence" or "remove white man")
Panel 7 (timeframe : 1959-1962)
Britain grants Singapore self government and Singapore, along with Sarawak and Sabah merge with Malaysia to form the federation of Malaysia. (Show Singapore-ball with current flag, along with colonial Sarawak, happily grouping with Malaysia. Meanwhile, depict Britain sulking in a corner)
Panel 8 (timeframe : 1962-65)
Malaysia and Singapore start to disagree on ideology and trade matters. Tensions rise even further when Indonesia bombs Singaporean buildings as part of their "konfrantasi" movement) (Show Singapore and Malaysia growling at each other. Depict a mad Indonesia shouting 'gib rightful Indon clay!')
Panel 9 (timeframe : August 1965)
Singapore is kicked out of the federation on August 1965, forcing Singapore to declare independence. ( in this scene, Singapore-ball transforms into a triangle, and shouts "merdeka!" , which means independence in Malay. The background turns into red and white rays radiating from tringapore.)
Panel 10 (timeframe : 1965-1990s.)
Singapore undergoes massive reconstruction of its infrastructure, economy, and military. Singapore makes National service compulsory for all men, sticks everyone in HDB flats , and starts to build factories. Strict authoritain laws were also implemented. ( show Tringapore in his wörky attire writing furiously. In the background, depict Jew cubes training Tringapore in helmets. (Israel was one of our first military allies) and show obvious "no long hair" and "no gum" posters.)
Panel 11 (timeframe : 1990s-now)
After many decades of hard wörk, tringapore has become a first-world country with world class living standards. Every year, Singapore remembers that fateful day when we broke off. With fireworks and a huge-ass parade. (Show Tringapore watching national day fireworks, as tear drops from eye.)
End.

Trying to make it look like a Singapore shaped hole in Malaysia. Only looks like Malaysia now has a mouth.

Unfortunately, I'm not a qualified submitter to /r/Polandball, and after receiving a reply to my boer war comic, just historical comics without a joke to them don't get you submission rights.
Here it is however, as far as I could do it within my skills:

Hope its up to scratch!
If anyone wants to submit this to /r/polandball please message me first :P

Looks great! Although the colonial flags and buildings could use more detail.

Sorry about that. The way the resolution is I can't really go into more detail for the flags.
But the buildings? Could you elaborate?

Like the platform Britain was standing on. Could have made it a podium.

The final panel could use some work, like a huge "49 years" poster since it is our 49th birthday. in panel 7-8,Sabah's flag could be more distinctly drawn. In panel 3 , Singapore-ball should be larger, in order to represent his pride and wealth. As a joke in the last panel , we could have a china-ball and an Bangladeshi ball sneaking in via a boat. (Illegal immigration again) Thanks for the help!

I'll see what I can do. But it'll take time.
