Good and Evil are often said to represent two forces of the Universe that struggle to maintain the balance. Yin Yang tells that in each of them there's a smallest part of the other. And that goes for an eternity.
I've combined the symbolism of colors of Yin Yang with the motive of Ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail: the symbol of eternity.
I'm glad I made this picture, it was an opportunity to learn a lot, especially in the department of textures: it's my first metal, fur and feathers, so I expect there to be quite some faults in them, but since I wanted to put it into the contest gallery, I decided to use no custom content for that, and instead experimented with help of various tutorials from DeviantArt.
I used and modified NASA photography for the space. Other than that, I used a free brush by Adam Woodhouse for the blood under the claws of the black dragon (in case it was important to mention it, I never know with the huge and scary legality rules ): ).

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
