Inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Last Supper” artwork plus a kick ass “Heroes” underworld undertone to it. The characters were entirely composited into a background. The idea is to put all characters equally lined up while the Gorilla (The Almighty Chonggo) being the center powerful being amongst the characters. Which is entirely the case with the Brownmonkeys, being selfless as member but being more of a brand builder for the group.
