Description
I began with an idea to translate the word abstract into chinese because, well, I'm chinese (lmao).Anyways, I used the Japanese font and since that font didn't have the second chinese symbol that I needed, I vectored it! (It is kinda sorta obvious I did if you look carefully)
If you look carefully you can also see a dragon and the text again in the background. I tried to make a chinese phoenix but I wasn't able to find a similar one that I liked. I will probably find one later and make a vector version later on.
Well, if your wondering; why a dragon, I'll tell you. A chinese dragon is actually an abstract creation itself! It is made up of nine creatures: The head of camel, the eyes of a demon, the ears of a cow, the horns of a stag, the neck of a snake, it's belly a clam's, it's claws that of an eagle, while the soles of his feet are that of a tiger, and the 117 scales that cover it's body are that of a carp.
Fonts used: Japanese

To find out more about the Chinese Dragon to fully understand how abstract this artwork REALLY is; click this [link] <-- not my site or w.e. just got my abstract idea of a dragon from this page mostly

The two characters collectively mean "digest", as in "reader's digest".
