I'm not being a hater and I'm not putting down your art but....

You can get a very similar effect in Flash by just tracing the bitmaps and tweaking the options until you find something you like. After a bit of color filling in Photoshop and basic manipulation you end up with pretty much what you have. Also, you can do it in Illustrator and come up with something very similar (the new fad of Vector art).

Once again, no offense and I think you have good stuff but I can't really look at it as "Art". Good luck with your sales.

Original Image (I just pulled it off of Google Image Search):


Flash MX Trace Bitmap applied and exported as a Jpeg:


Brought back into Photoshop and applied to a colored background with simple layer effects:


That entire thing took me 5 minutes. Seriously, it took more time to launch the programs did it did to accomplish this. Sorry to come down on you but I feel that the only fine art is art done without the aid of computers.
