About my design

by raioo
This is a resubmission. In the first submission I forgot to remove the unwanted t-shirt colors.

This is also known as Hamsa, or Kamsa, or Hand of Fatima, or Hand of Miriam. The design above is my own twist, and it comes from one of the first animations I designed. You can see the above Khmissa in action here in my animation blog: http://www.russoom.com/artists/adnane_benali/animations/ohbaby/?lang=en&browseby=date



The sign is pretty ancient in history and people believed it repels evil eye. Many famillies in North Africa, Meditteranean and israel hang the design somewhere near the entrance of their houses. I personnaly don't believe too much in this, but I appreciate the design aspect of it and I enjoy splashing colors and curves around it.

4. I think the colors go nicely, and the design is nice, but I would prefer if it were just a tad bit smaller.
