The bird is too plain even with the Alice-In-Wonderland type style, lacking any sort of context to make the image interesting or questioning. The question "why?" keeps popping up in my head. My opinion, anyway.
This design is a bird. I believe that is why it was chosen.
I feel that the side art are all stronger pieces and would buy the lion and the fox and possibly the sun (if you added more things to it).
ALSO
I enjoyed your website... you have a very cool style and have a lot of good pieces on your site.
peppersagooddog- They're just stating opinions. Everyone is entitled. Not everyone is going to agree on artwork, that's why the art world is so nicely diverse.
Can't please everyone, I'm sure there's work you don't like out there too.
I like the concept, but the bright blue of the tail ribbons is disconcerting. I would have preferred the tail ribbons to be more in keeping with the overall color scheme.
@ Jaden
I have the woot print you're referring to. One of my favorite shirts. It's haunting, and the colors work really well. I'm sorry to say I'm not getting the same vibe from this one, though. I think it would look good printed, just not as good as the previous one.
Hehe, thanks for the nice comments! I didn't think that the woot shirt is so similar, Same character but a different story. I think it's a pretty simple design, just one bird. I hope I can show some better stuff in the near future :)
The only thing about this is the color. Perhaps if the bird had more color in it and the design wasn't on a brown shirt, besides that it's pretty damn cool.
I love when illustrations have the uneasiness or creepiness mixed in with childhood innocence like German Fairy tails. Beautiful stuff, has a quality that resonates with subconsciousness. Not just a cool drawing.
I really like this design! The animals on the side are great as well!
I love how an artist can achieve that child like drawing quality without it looking forced.

LOL obviously you werent keeping up with the posts around here. i am one of the people that defends ones right to opinion BUT SAY IT NICELY. having a small child call your hours of effort stupid and ugly is NOT what this site is all about, and never should it be.
if she didnt like it thats great, im not especially fond if it either, but that was a rude and thoughtless way of saying so.
A word from the curator: I love the way Aman draws birds- their poses suggest kindness, as their wings reach out to give you hug (or maybe just shake hands, if it's a more formal occasion). His empty eyes convey his inherent bird-brained outlook, like a flaky relative who can't ever seem to get your age or name right. I'm also digging the ribbon-y tail, which looks pretty awesome as it twists and sways in the air- I'd love to see a bird like this in motion.
Tell us the background of this design. Nothing special, it's just one of my favorite "imaginary" characters...
What do you want TeeFury fans to know about you? That I love chocolate. Seriously! What do you absolutely not want them to find out? Why would I tell ’em if I don’t want ’em to find it out? But a minor secret is that I’m lazy as a headless sloth... Name a few of your favorite things. My girlfriend, drawing, computer and computer games, photography, street-art, sleeping. What are your feelings on graffiti? Bad, very, very bad! But if you’d do it anyway, always look around and wear a glove. Never try to cross chrome pieces with your own, as chrome sometimes hits normal colors... Ehmm.. I’ve only heard it from my friend, never experienced... Who is your favorite scientist? I don’t really have one, maybe one with a short life, and the least things a scientist ever invented... I just don’t like to learn them... But maybe Neumann, one for he was hungarian, two for he invented my favorite gaming platform. Werewolf vs. ninja: who would win the battle? Definitely a pirate, after the ninja killed the werewolf he would strike. Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much. I can’t make a choice, I love them all, that’s why I buy them. But I prefer designer shirts, they’re pretty unique in my country. Which is better, gaming, reading, or watching movies? Name your favorite title in your chosen medium. Gaming – Warcraft, I just love the universe. And an old one: Neverhood, my alltime favorite, inspired me a lot! What inspires your work? Street-art and anything wich I think looks good, it could be even a concrete streetlamp, a cat, or a waterpipe. Any shout outs? Thanks for selecting me too :)

The colors are nice, the cold blue on the warm chocolate brown gives the tail a nice dynamic look.
I absolutely LOVE the lion! Can't wait for that one to be sold!
