      Dang that looks really awesome. For the top, if you wanted to increase clarity on your name, you could put it higher and bring more red tree leaves in behind it, so it's mostly on all red leaves!

          🙂 So nice! It looks like she could be looking at a reflection of herself in the bubble. I think the text tweaks have paid off and it looks more balanced and professional.

                @bridgetbick @KathrynAdebayo @Frost-Drive @K-Flagg thanks guys!!!

                @K-Flagg i've been thinking of that too but with the letter 'O'. I'll do some experiments to see if it'll work. I'll post it soon

                      @Nyrryl-Cadiz I like the fish one. I saw the hook as the letter J. I like that you used an icon for the space in the O. I would face the fish the opposite way and looking up to the right more so that has a more positive feeling to it.

                        @Nyrryl-Cadiz definitely B. More friendly, less ominous without the fishhook.

                          I agree that B is better. The fish hook is as @Melissa-Bailey-0 said, "ominous."

                            @Nyrryl-Cadiz I like the fishy too!

                            For the font though I still find your name a little hard to read.

                            Since you're name isn't part of the title I think you can make it smaller / not the same width as the text above. It'll help it feel like it's own entity and The "nyr" part of your name is hard to read over the busy dark green leaves anyway.

                            Check out my art and tutorials :)

                              @Nyrryl-Cadiz I also agree that B looks better to me! 🙂

                                @Nyrryl-Cadiz I'm with B as well, A is a little too ominous for the joyful vibe of the rest of the scene.

                                Happy creating,

                                  @Kim-Rosenlof @Melissa-Bailey-0 @demotlj @carlianne @Jacy13 @Tristan-Lapetz Thank you so much for the feedback, everyone! I totally see what you mean, tho I must admit, 'ominous' is actually what I was going for. lolz

                                  However, I gave it some thought and I've decided not to use either. I just feel that both are not up to snuff. I know I can come up with something better but I think I've just had it with this piece for now. I don't wanna work on it anymore. I just want it to be done. 😅

                                  I hope y'all don't hate me for wasting your time. 😅✌

                                  @carlianne Thank you so much for the note on my name. That's definitely something I'd never even think of. Here it is below. This is probably my last edit on this piece unless I deceide otherwise. lolzzz

                                  Again Thank you so much, everyone!!!!
