Very punny, I would just clean things up a little, maybe do a little work with shadows and you'll be on your ways. I like the additions of the chick peas.
I like the idea a lot. I would have taken me a bit to guess what they where though without the title. Maybe making an empty pea pod on the back or somewhere on it would help? Course, I could just be really slow, haha.
Maybe go with either chick peas or peacock. Meaning chick peas looking like a hen's chicks or a pea looking like a plumed peacock. I've seen the chick peas done before so you might focus on the peacock idea. Also, I think peas are pretty tough to render, yours are good but they still wind up looking like boulders or meteors. Maybe try a pea pod turned into a peacock, it might give you a better shape to work with and be easier for viewers to recognize. Cheers!
people keep saying that they should be peacock peas, but i feel like that would detract from it, if they were peacock peas they would be pea-pea-cocks, not pea-cocks, see?
i might take quister's advice and just stick with the bigg'ns i'll have to ask some people.
i'll also yeah, need to figure a way to make them look more like peas, pea pod's a maybe..
I like pod idea, but I also really like the chick peas in version two. If you are going to go with pea pod you need to make the pod more detailed. maybe try using a little more color for highlights.
