i got bored

once again, i got bored, started off by drawing a bird, next thing i know this chinese styling thing appeared from nowhere

the birds are supposed to look like a tree, duno if that came off or not, chinese text means "bird goddess" (got that off the net somewhere, so if it means "fence post" or something, ignore it)

any suggestions on it? im thinking of buying some canvas and painting it

Don't think about it, just do it. Painting's reet grand.

The illustration itself is nice enough, but tbh, silhouettes of 'sexually idealised' women is all a bit schoolboy fantasy and is getting well and truly 'meh'…

Ditch the gal, the chinese script and the over-sized bird on her knee and paint what's left.

I agree, get rid of the bird, just do the birds.

Nice. The top half reminds me a little of the image Non Format did for Orange recently.

Like the new touch... far better than the women. Nice!

Though what's it like if you drop the text below the horizon line? seems balenced above to me at the moment - could be a crap idea of course
