About my design
by Jebs   
The sense of absurd but symbolic protection this little gentleman has chosen, is methaphoric, so are the elements on the puppet strings, which are meant to fit the weather/ danger themes, and so is the whole design. You'll see for example the puppet strings controlling each others, coming from the upper clouds.

The earth, humanity (planet of hands) is now beginning to be colored, so, "protected" and "in peace" by the gentleman. I chose for the umbrella the peace colors flag, and it's also the rainbow colors of course.

It works on 7 colors, but i also made an alternative graphic version in 1 color.

Very important: THANKS a lot for all the ones who helped me, suggested, posted awesome comments on the critique section. And thanks to Manos for the flash template.
PS: (about copyrights, as the hands are inspired by the godfather's ones, it's clearly not an issue, as i redrew everything myself and mirrored it, so it's even the other hand).

The seven colored one!!! Definately..although the cloud on the shoulder looks a little wierd, maybe you should make it not solid- it kinda draws your attention away from the cool parts.

THANKS for the support, that's appreciated, a looot!
what can i say? well, i want even more comments because i just love it, and criticism is appreciated too, to improve again and again.

@messedupperfection and wazodo: thanks for your sincerity, however, i disagree, because i tried it without being solid, and it was not as good as it is right now ;)
