The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

My latest version of "Quan Yin" or The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, first of all I would like to apologise as according to wikipedia, the word "Avalokitesvara" means "The one who looked down", however I did not made her "looked down" on this drawing. My idea was to create her to look at "us" since it was designed to be a desktop wallpaper (16:9) . I am not a Buddhist, therefor please forgive me if there are mistakes or if there are things that are considered as offensive, as I did not mean for that (unknowingly), this is simply for art purposes, I just "wanted" to draw her in my version with her traditional pose.
Tools : Photoshop and Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet.
Note: I cannot read/write Chinese letters, however I did a research, and the four writings on the top corners more or less means "Kuan Yin The Goddess of Mercy, Kind and Compassion"
