a fish fed up with its leaving conditions and moving to a new neighborhood ?
Kind of needs a background , either a seafood restaurant opening soon or a bunch of alley cats near by ( cats shelter house, maybe )

Thanks guys! The concept is "Atlas as a fish" (or a fish as Atlas). Apparently I need to work on "earth" image more.

Those colors and linework are on only two layers. I'll separate them into different layers and reduce the colors to 8. Also thinking about a glowing bg. Thanks for advices too.

Awesome! Water on the ground is kind of rigid. Other than that, it looks great.

Thanks again!

@hm087ster: Good idea! Adding some sea creatures sounds nice. But that means more than 8 colors. Simulated process then... hmm

Atlas as a fish

Atlantis name of the lost city in the sea

I'm thinking something like

Atlan-fish

Thanks Nestor! That's a pretty nice one.

one word about the background... the clouds are a little too thick... but i think it works
Manupix
Manupix on Feb 25 '11 at 7:04pm
I love the background (agree with Resistance), but I don't see the point of the glow.

yo! $5 on the way. incredible.
I don't have any better title suggestions.

Unrelated: I did see a stand up comedian on TV last night wearing 'War Games' - I believe it was TBS so probably George Lopez's show! But you probably already knew that.

@nathan: are you serious! I didn't know that, now I'll look everywhere to find it!

   nathanwpyle at gmail.com on Feb 26 '11 at 2:52am
Serious! It's a popular shirt. They may post those online somewhere? Anyway, send me an email, - the photo I got wasn't great because it was with my cell phone - but I'll send it to you.
