Description
*EDIT* Check out the newer shinier remake: [link]Much better than this old thing.
----------------------------------------------------------
A relatively quick piece for me (2 evenings), it is probably my favourite from the last Depthcore pack. Sometimes it helps to stop thinking about what a picture is going to end up looking like and just make it up as you go along, this piece had 0 planning. Photoshop and Illustrator used, I owe a few people stock links:

and someone else for the butterfies and someone for the leaves... can't remember who at the moment though :/ I've started writing my resources down now so I can give proper credits in the future, trouble with these art packs is I release stuff weeks/months after making them
P.S. This lost quite a lot in resizing and compression I feel, so if anyone is interested you can see a full size version here: [link]

this is really really well done, i would favorite it if it didnt say such a stupid awful word

a word that represents the abuse of women and your glorifying it

actually buddy, i complented you on your awesome work of art and told you i would favorite it if it said a different work, your the one who prodded me to explain and say more, so dont tell me that i am complaining or inventing problems. I understood what it meant actually, i just dont feel like decribing something with that word is very good, since that word is not very good, that is all i meant.

Hmm seems this comment slipped me by in the rush. I find it odd that you decided not to favourite it because you didn't like the word, even though you understood the context in which the word was being used. This is what I meant by inventing problems. I would have thought it would be better to judge a picture on imagery and meaning, as meant by the artist and then inferred by the critic. In this case it seems you have deduced the meaning and then taken offence to a completely different one. Like taking offence at a picture of a cross because it directly implies the practice of crucifiction as well as being a religious symbol. Anyway enough now, this piece wasn't even about glorification. So even if I had meant the word pimp as a whore's boss, the picture would still not be glorifying the practice, and secondly I would have used the word ponce [link] 
Maybe it would be best if I didn't submit my brand new piece 'Get back in the kitchen, you whore' here, might be hard to explain alternate meanings for that one

your funny, seriously, i busted a gut reading that! Sorry you took so much offence, i really didnt mean it, i really do like the art, i just dont like the word, no matter how its used because of where it came from. Same way i dont like hearing black people call eachother niggers, it just hurts me. Peace bro

Oh and if you're still bothered with the word pimp, I would take it up with the resident Deviant art pimp: [link]

Yeah I don't particularly like that either, but then again I'm willing to believe that the meaning of a word can change depending on the circumstances of its use. Oh and please stop saying your when its you're, it's hardly helping ease the general pandemic of illiteracy on the internet.

You're right, I should stop abusing women with my abstract art. It's not an offensive insult word like some I could but won't mention neither is it a swear word. In fact the word pimp was meant to be used the adjective sense here, as in the expression of approval. Anyway if it wasn't obvious already I'll point out that this picture is not really anything to do with pimping, poncing, brothels or prostitution and I think there are far better things you could be complaining about elsewhere rather than inventing problems.

i like the filagree on the lettering! but shouldnt there be a tree air freshener, or one of those crown air fresheners for your car dashboard? add some bling! some major bling! a mercedes hood ornament necklace! that is pimp bling bling!

yeah probably your best along with Birds... just how you composized everything, the flowers, butterflys, leaves: it all works so well together... the only thing i could possibly critic are those drops coming of your ''pimp'''... seems a bit off, like it ruins its depth a bit... anyway thats all really, you did an fascinating job overall and be proud of what you created here

haha, the colors fit well a pimp. really nice job. the leaves maybe don't have much to do with a pimp, but they bring a sort of nice extravagantza feeling, fit for the title.
