It's great! Doesn't look like a mockingbird/jay, but I like it better than if it did! It stands out more!

Just what I thought x3 I've seen it as a dove, which fits perfectly to my Hunger Games character ;)
Thanks a lot! Hopefully I will be more skilled at drawing birds the next time I draw a mockingjay ^^;

Oh wow it's amazing. Though you got the colour slightly wrong a mockingjay is black and white. Hope you enjoy the books, in my opinion there a lot better than the film. Also I think the fire looks fine, it looks alot better with the fire.

Thank you, I know too well that it doesn't look like a mockingjay... I should probably change the name to "Mockingdove" x3

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

Not every piece of art can be as liked as every other piece, people have different views of an image...
Just be patient and continue making art, in the end you'll have a piece that is popular :3

Personally I've been her two and a half year, and I've only had two "popular" images... Or at least two images that's got above average likes :3 I suggest that you try draw things yourself though, and avoid using too many linearts. People don't usually look at colored in images, and cares a lot more for custom images. Also, I suggest that you avoid using burn and dodge tool too much, because it can turn out kind of odd after a while D: Did that in the beginning, and soon got a comment suggesting to not use those two tools too much when shading etc.

Hope it helped, though you've done a good job so far ;) Add a bit more details into it, and you're good :)
