Artist's Comments

So... Life has been INSANELY busy, I need to go through all of my notes and emails (I will, I SWEAR!!!) and finish up commissions, etc. Until then, a little something to mull over...

CHOW #94 - Yin & Yang
www.ConceptArt.org

I got to host this one cause I won a couple weeks back (woo!) and I wanted to show my Yin & Yang as Chaos vs. Creation, one weaving the tapestry of the world on a loom made from the other, the other one consuming everything, etc... yadda yadda yadda. I just wanted to draw flowy things, let's be honest.

Also, I know, I switched them, I did it on purpose. Assuming women are weaker makes me annoyed, so she gets to be the dominant for once.

Amazing! By tomorrow this picture is going to be mad popular. Yin looks so cool and Yang is beautiful. I like the twist because Yin is usually portrayed as being feminine while Yang is suppose to be male.

Gorgeous! I love how the tree slowly becomes him, like life giving way to death. And the texture on her dress and the fabric on the loom is beautiful. This captured the cycle of creation/destruction wonderfully. :+favlove:

Yeah, I get my knickers in a twist about the implication of the feminine (yin) being week and submissive and cold, so I switched it.
:D

Thank you very much!

This is a beautiful pic :)
My only nitpick is that I think the genders are switched from the actual yin and yang concept, though I like it better this way, personally :)
