The title doesn't make sense, I know. For once I've tried to be more sensible with my art and tried adding meaning to it for a change, y'know.

How it associates with Ying and Yang? Well, for starters; Ying and Yang is the two opposite values that creates balance. There always must be a sense of balance otherwise there is no Ying and Yang, it'll be more like Ying and Ying or Yang and Yang. Man, that sounded corny. Anyways, whichever you choose to interpret as the Ying/Yang. You'll be able to see some opposites. Zephyr (one on the left)'s pose is tensed whereas Lightning (dude on the right)'s pose is relaxed. Zephyr's pose is vertical, Lightning's horizontal.

Generally, that is all. You may have also noticed the box backgrounds behind both hedgehogs are inverted to each other. Zephyr's background fades to dark to bright from the outside, Lightning's fades dark to bright from the inside. You get the picture.

Oh, did I mention that this is my half of a trade with a sexy friend of mine. *angelsnow , you know you're sexy! xD

I like the change of direction with my shading, I tried the mapping technique alongside with the stroke shading technique as well. (Mapping is breaking down the tonal variations into more discrete grades of shadows and shade, in case anyone didn't know that. Stroke shading is self-explanatory.) Enjoy!
