Thoughts on my rough design

I took the liberty of "flaming" the body a bit, to try and visualize the grain.
I also added what I would want the headstock logo to be;

It's a Hindu symbol that means "The Might" or "The Power"

It's getting better all the time.

The area where the lower cutaway meets the end of the fingerboard looks a little funky - and (for my taste) the 'hips' look 'squat' and wide. Although that same area looks a little like what a nice looking lady would look like from the back when seated. If you're going for that - you've nailed it!

To me it looks like a Big al and a Alambic had a drunken night and that was the result!

I guess its your bass, but i personally dont think i could deal with something like that!

One thing I would change is make the treble side horn go out a little further so it makes the same angle as the bass side horn

Flowing lines are good, and in this case it would support the neck, which in your current iteration looks like it is hanging freely.

You'll need to balance it with upper fret access, though.

You'll also need to do the mirror test again. Just by eyeballing it, it seems your top half of the bass (forearm rest) is larger than the bottom half (control cavity). Perhaps it is the offset wood choices.
