This is my first design. It would be nice to have some contructed criticism.

ill help u out a little. you should make it a little more clear what is in the picture. like the thing that looks like a dogs head, youcould add a little more of the body to make it obvious what it is, and im not sure what the splatter is so make it more obvious next time.................................................................. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK THOUGH CAUSE I LIKE WHAT I SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks like a lion

I think it is. Whats with the text?

Google the text (Fouquieria splendens) and you will see what it is. then look at the image again.
