i'd say it needs a blackmetal logo on there, somewhere, like in this example: http://www.scandinavian-metal.de/schweden/schweden-sammlung/opeth/orchid.jpg Or, yeah. what MoP said. The entire thing looks like a 3d model with nothing but a colourmap... you need to push it further, you need to add shadow, highlights, etc...
Mop: Good point there. It doesn't have much shading. I tried using a darker blue to put in a shadow where the petals overlap, but I don't really have any general shading. Pea: Interesting analogy, but it does just kinda look like a basic color map. Thermidor: Yea, someone else mentioned the same thing. All of the examples…
