Artist's Comments

EDIT
I realize the "dark" and "light" sides are flipped vertically compared to the real Yin-Yang symbol. ^^; Sorry. I hope that doesn't offend anyone. . .
-------

So this is probably my biggest projects to finish yet. (Note the "finish" part :XD:)

This is a colored, clean render of a drawing I finished in my Art 2 class. And yes, this does have a meaning. ^^;

This is my translation of the Yin-Yang symbol.

The orca on the left represents Yin, the light side; life (the little orcas in the ocean) and energy (the sun and ocean). The orca on the right represents Yang, the dark side; death (auroras are sometimes assotiated with spirits and the dead) and tranquility (the moon, which, in a sense, has little or no energy compared to the sun, and it also serves as the body that balances the oceans with tides).

The eye in the center represents the "All Seeing Eye". The Alpha and Omega of the universe.

EVERYTHING IS MINE AND DOES NOT BELONG TO YOUR MYSPACE, TAGWORLD, HI5, YOUTUBE VID, OR ANY OTHER VID!! So get your filthy paws off my silky drawers. . . (XD Reeeeeally stupid allusion to Greace. . .)

Beautiful star brushes belong to the wonderful :iconstillwaiting:

And the wonderfully done aurora tutorial that made all the difference belongs to :iconkanda88: [link]

This is really great. Nice concept and great symbolism. The coloring/shading/shine are all well done. :thumbsup:

ans oddly enough, I did a paper about Taosim and the Yin-yang symbol not long ago. ^^;
