I like this, it reminds me of an old time wax seal. It looks like its floating above the background.

I'm not totally satisfied with the end result, but that's as good as I got it. Perhaps I'll tweak it later on if I find the time.

I think it looks Oriental as well. I like the clean look and the beautiful red. Nice art.

This one is a great peice of work. To me the rose looks like it is painted in blood. When I saw it, the first thing that came to mind is that it would make a wonderful tattoo. I love this one.

This is from the book Kushiels Whip, awesome novel. The tatoo, is created as the main character earns money towards her freedom, once the tatoo is finished or mark as its called in the novel, she has earned her freedom. The Tatoo, is also supposed to signify different whips intertwined, with the rose, to show that pain can give pleasure. Its a very deep novel.

I really like the design and I'd love to see you incorporate it into another piece. It does look like it's floating, which is kind of distracting, but I like the effects on the design very much, I think it's just the background itself for the most part that causes the "floating" look.

I agree Angelle, it would make a cool design for a book jacket. Now, someone just has to write a cool novel to go along with the cool design. hmmmmmmmm???

Great image. Doesn't look oriental to me, but I suppose it looks celtic due to the winding stem style. Love the colors. I would suggest leaving this baby alone :D It's great as it is. Nice work!

Slowly, silently, now the moon Walks the night in her silver shoon; This way, and that, she peers, and sees Silver fruit upon silver trees; One by one the casements catch Her beams beneath the silvery thatch; Couched in his kennel, like a log, With paws of silver sleeps the dog; From their shadowy cote the white breast peep Of doves in silver-feathered sleep; A harvest mouse goes scampering by, With silver claws and a silver eye; And moveless fish in the water gleam, By silver reeds in a silver stream. -- Walter de la Mare

KJ, your rose reminds me so much of a caduceus.

The rose is symbolic for love and your blood red design, at least to me, represents both the nourishment needed for maintaining love, but also the dangers within.

As of today, this picture has a C-Index of 19 and a download number of 6,815. Clear evidence that what is very good and desired is not always viewed properly by around eighteen random people.
