Britain, Britian... by ~mexillent:iconmexillent:

Artist's Comments

Okay, so here's my first deviation for my new profile. A festive and patriotic wallpaper for you all. It's not great, but it's a start. This is to do with several generalizations of Britain.

When most people think of Britain, or England mostly, the first thing that comes to mind is London. Which I genuinely hate. They ignore the fact that we have one of the highest crime rates in Europe (supposedly) and the one of the highest number of teenage pregnancies, (again, supposedly). Wahey.
The Telephone box is just because I love British telephone boxes, and the chav? That's just because chavs are now more British than fish and chips. Huzzah.
The crappy attempt of grunge around the edges was just me testing some tasty brushes. Enjoy.

the bit i liked best about it is the 'crappy' edges. shows age, and then wisdom :)

i reckon that you should do another, same flag, but instead of having chavs and phoneboxes, something more militaristic, like a bit from each other the wars we've been in and won. something more glorifying than a chav :p

but other than that, great job :)
