Star of Peace

I know, I know, how very Pui-mun of me. All I can say was this is how the iamge was in my head and so that's how I painted it.

I would really, really, really like to not hear how this looks like someone else's style. I know already who my major influences are and I'm just extremely tired of hearing it from others (though I know some people mean it as a compliment...).

Having said that, this is what I came up with for my Christmas cards this year. I wanted something that wasn't overtly religious but where the symbolism was still there. The doves are for peace and for the Holy Spirit and the star, of course, is for the star that the wise men followed to find Christ. :)

EDIT: I uploaded a new file because on the computer, I could see how the glow of the birds was sort of this big chunk of glowy stuff so I went back and broke it up a little to make it more delicate.
