Description Huge file is huge
Well its finally done, huzzah. God only know how long it took.

Anyway this is balance, a variation on yin yang. I find the traditional look at yin yang with the black and white circle with the often opposing characters place on top kind of boring. Sooo I played with it a bit, and tried to include as may opposites as possible in the actual symbol. If you want you can attempt to guess them all. I counted seven. Anyway I'm extremely pleased with the piece overall, Specially the background. The head of the hyena is a little funky but eh I tried. Took a bloody long time to do and I'm also relieved its finally done. XD. The scan doesn't do it justice, but its not a bad representation. Also there are details in my gallery, just browse. Er yeah.

Sorry about the watermark but i really don't want this one in particular stolen. If someone is idiotic enough to do so anyway I will hunt you down.

I've been lurking while looking at the wips.
I must say that this a lovely work, not just the colours, drawing skills, and backgrounds, but the concept.
Many yin and yang drawings fall into a similar category, but this one stands out and is unique.
Wonderful job.
