Description I saw the base for this image somewhere on this site, so I decide to recreate my version of it in Illustrator.

I am having conflicting understandings with this picture. On one hand it appears that tthis geisha is very human and has emotion and feelings, but they are neglected. On the other hand, the geisha seems as if she was nothing more than an item. The part where the bottom on the arm goes in front of the woman makes her seem very 2D. The tossed hair can be explained with either understanding. For the former, she can not take care of her own needs even as simple as hair management, while the latter states that this is a part of her usefullness as an item. Well, whichever the case, there is one major thing htat keeps me from really liking the picture. It appears that the picture suffers from slight pixelation. For example, the crevice of the geisha butt is smooth up to one point where it moves out one pixel then back in. It take away from teh beauty of this piece. I like the piece, but I feel it need to be filtered to help with pixelation. Again, this is my two cents.

Thanks for the comment, when I get some time I will go back and fix those things you mentioned.
And for my interpretation of my image,
Well I saw it as the geisha is made flesh and blood who is suppose to have emotions but she has been transformed into an object full of nothingness. The symbol on her back is suppose to mean "nothingness" in japanese but I found it on the internet so I can't be 100% sure about that.
That is just my interpretation please feel free to interpret to however you feel.

Thanks for telling me what you meant by it. I am slight pleased that I understood some of the things you meant, I wish I knew the kanji meaning beforehand, but await the time you modified it.
