Reprise of Advanced M
This reads Magpie in Chinese. The Japanese is below that but less visible. I put in some bits of my Redbubble activity monitor too
If its not could some obliging Chinese person put me straight?

How nice, how do you know all this stuff????

All what? The oriental languages are done using online translators but you have to run the translations backwards into English again to see if they actually are what you typed in and not utter nonsense. We’d all be at it if it was easy.

Well, I never knew about that!!!! Jeeeeeeze, you make me miss having a competent male around. not that i think i ever had one before!

Haha. We had some Malaysian lads over to do some building where I work. The safety officer (safety eejit) put up signs (for their safety presumably) and thought he was great and probably got a medal off his boss too.
I took a liking to the characters and I chopped it up to get the Malaysian bit out of it and fucked the rest into the bin. I brought it home and stuck it on the door of my room. Its still there right now. And somebody translated it one night and guess what, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Yes, I wrote a story where a big strong he man get some Chinese characters tattooed on his forearm that he thought said The Tiger, or The Cobra, or something. He was in the subway one night and a group of Chinese older women started laughing at him, when he asked why, they told him that his proudly displayed tattoo actually says The Cunt.

Beautiful vibrant colors! What did you use to create this? The orange round thing with symbols looks like photoshop, over colored pencils? I like the smooth blending of the 2 colors :)
theyellowfury replied
Thank you. I tinted a 2 grayscale images, one green one purple, and erased bits of both. There are a few other layers for specific effects like the white The orange bit is rendered extruded splines in 3Dsmax on a black background with heavy shadows using the screen layer mode in PS to zero the black. In this form the layer looks like orange jelly that just sits on top of the image
