Description
This is the design for the "Three Principles" of Soul, Mind, Body.It is bascially the holy symbol used for the followers of the Ancients. Each of the three principles has a source to power it (food for the body, thought for the mind, and growth for the soul), as well as two others to maintain it.
The Ancients themselves are native to the world known as Gaia (or our Earth) and are the overseers of the world they have created called Avalon. They guide their ruined planet through their Guardians whom represent one or more of the three principles. Depending on which they are given different responsibilities.
BladeWing for example is a Guardian of the Principle of Body, which designates him as a soldier. Guardians of the Mind are intellects and secret keepers, given the task of guarding powerful knowledge. Those of the Soul are leaders in many respects, to give clarity and direction.

Did you know that if you add gold to the triangles you get the Triforce from Zelda?

this thing is a great design! do the glyphs have meaning? if im not imagining it, the three on the triangles inner edges look like the words, soul, body, and mind.

Great work!
I made a geometry study/experiment based on this one.
It's not exactly the same, but if you don't allow it I will take it offline. Check it out here: [link] .

some of what u said is true for the real Ancients (meaning the Celtic version)...
what's ur theory on the possibility of some of their memories being spread on thru the generations?
what abt the fact that Avalon isn't on Earth?
And that Atlantis is NOT an underwater city (or one flooded by sudden earthquakes/ect)...?

A picture can mean a thousand words, and that one prolly does ^^
Nice.

That is very nice. If I could do anything artistry wise, it would be things like that. Perhaps.
The symmetry is truly great, and the script within is a very nice touch. I'm not sure how you'll color it, but I think it would look proper with a stone motif. However, there's no telling what you'll be able to accomplish. As long as the colors don't wash away the fine detail, you'll be set.
Sweet Deviation.

It is a very neat design. The runes on it are very cool, as is the geometry.

I like - what language is that used on it though? Something you made up, or...?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's english, just used my own characters for letters, so there's no real way to tell what all of them say short of me translating all of it

I've been looking at it for about ten minutes now, and I think I got it. Two of them confuse me, and I assume that's your signature. Very nicely done.

Hmmm! Coloring would certainly be both Very interesting and very much a Pain, eh?

Very cool.
Are you going to colour it?
I'm curious as to how you would represent each of the parts.

Yeah I'll eventually colour it when I figure out some kinda colour scheme for it ^-^
