I would probably bring the end of the 'y' up into the space roughly inline with the x height of 'surgery'. Just to tighten it up there a bit and balance it out more with the left hand side. Which is more dense. Yes to matching the rest to the thickness of the 's'. If not all, definitely the 'B' so it's the first read as I'm drawn to the 'S' first at the mo. What you reckon? Hope that helps.
@Tom Lane Cheers dude! For sure, it's def looking a bit empty over there on the right, good call on bringing the 'y' up. Will tackle the strokes again when I get a mo, want to keep the thin strokes super thin but I reckon I could up the contrast on the thicker parts to give the piece a bit more weight... Probs need to overlap the tail of the 'B' too, to make it consistent. So, um, a heap to do then :/
@Ged I think the thickness on your lower cases is fine, but your 'B' could match your 'S' as you said. One thing I didn't notice at first is your 'g' touching the 'S'. As you made all the swashes crosses over each others, maybe you could make your 'g' overlap a bit on the left of the 'S' curve. Don't know if I'm clear, plus it's some detail.
Can't help much on colors since I always struggle to choose some, and the pencil shadowing is great so I'd just keep it like this !
I didn't see the shape of a brain so maybe you should work more on that part. More small flourishes to enhance the brain shape and thicken the letters so the piece doesn't get too cluttered.
Love it! Your 'r's are so perfect, I always have a hard time figuring them out. I didn't see the brain right away, but when I realized it was a brain it was so cool :D Making it kind of pink might get the idea across...
@Michael Spitz Cheers, some little vein style flourishes then? @Joseph Alessio Thanks man! Was thinking getting some fleshy pink, but, dunno.. me and pink never got on so well. Will give it a try ;)
In my opinion is brilliant in the way it is! Superb mate!! @Ged Palmer . For me all is balance very well mate!! :-) As I told you..Love it!! :-) Let's vectorized! :-)

@Simon Ålander @Joachim Vu @Tobia Crivellari @Tom Lane @Martin Schmetzer Cheers guys ;) What do you reckon, should I increase all the thick strokes to match the 'S' ? does the shape say 'Brain' enough? Colours? Would love to hear your feedback...

Didn't catch the brain reference right off > I think @Simon might have the right idea RE the additional flourishes. Gorgeous flow throughout.
