This is just a photoshop trial, I scanned a pencil drawing and filled it in with photoshop CS3.
I used Adobe illustrator for this trial, using line trace, which as you can see, gives a very "Illustrator" look to the image. However i like the boldness and choice of color. The smiling faces, are Buddhist elements taken from a pattern of a famous buddhist illustration.
This Face in the center, is a representation of the Lord of Death " Yama" in the Buddhist religion. I like how the background (which was influenced by typical Buddhist patterns in ancient illustrations ) contrasts so well with the color of the face, really making it stand out. It even has a feeling of the chinese culture with the long upper lip / mustache. This icon was used in my final piece, but instead I composed the face by hand and also the textures by hand.
