My suggestions: the first is to strengthen the woman's head and profile; extend her face out a bit to allow some room for the inner flamingo image (you'll see that the line from the flamingo's nose is up against line of her face; see if you can avoid this). I would also suggest adjusting her hair so she doesn't look like the Rocketeer. ;)
My other suggestion is to eliminate the flamingo's leg within her leg -- it runs right into the line defining her calf, which confuses the shape of her leg.
Don't change the colors -- they're perfect. I think you really have something special that could work!
:D thanks for all the suggestions phineas. you know i thought about the whole flamingo leg inside her leg but i wasn't sure. i'll work on her head. good suggestions. i appreciate that. :)
um. a first submission.
not sure what to expect.
