persistant In reply to ??? [2011-11-26 21:51:37 +0000 UTC]

Very nice design. But I have to ask: Why is the female in white and the male in black?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 2

Naimane In reply to persistant [2011-11-26 22:05:20 +0000 UTC]

Because they're supposed to represent yin and yang, so... black and white? 8D

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

persistant In reply to Naimane [2011-11-26 22:25:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but why is the male black, the colour that represents the passive, cold and feminine, and the female white, the colour that reprsesents the active, warm and masculine?
Is it a statement about gender or something?

Or am I merely trying to find symbolism where there is none?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 2

ErraticRhapsody In reply to persistant [2011-11-26 23:10:23 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I have the same question too essentially. Yin-the black-is actually feminine. Yang-the white- is masculine. So, why are they switched?

Naimane In reply to persistant [2011-11-26 22:27:42 +0000 UTC]

I think you are xD this was more supposed to be light and dark, good and evil I guess? and nothing else xD

In Asian culture, mostly Chinese, Yin is the female and Yang is the male. This artwork, however, depicted the Yin-and-Yang philosophy in a way different from the norm. I can't say it is wrong (because self-expression is not a crime), but this is plain new to me.

Kudos to the artist!

Ying-Yang.... Duh, do you even know what that is?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

persistant In reply to AloisPhantomhive [2011-11-26 22:29:04 +0000 UTC]

Of course.
I was merely wondering why the female was white, the masculine colour, and the male black, the feminine colour, and if that had some symbolic significance.
I could have worded the question better.

AloisPhantomhive In reply to persistant [2011-11-27 04:46:01 +0000 UTC]

Ah, okay. I thought no one could've been that clueless. I briefly considered that you might've been referring to gender-wise. I'm guessing it's the artist's random choice.

biteXmeX In reply to ??? [2011-11-26 21:42:04 +0000 UTC]

this is truly amzng!! you should seriously consider making this available as a print. i love the ways that the yin & yang characters are obviously opposites yet strikingly similar. an angel-like inocent looking girl in white, and a demonic vampire boy in black. one of the best pieces of art ihave seen on DA in a while.

(i cant write critiques because i dont have a premium membership but i just wanted to tell you that ^^)

No, I'm afraid I can't ;u; The commissioner is pretty protective over this.

This is just so beautiful. I love how they nearly are glowing, it looks so haunting yet divine. I love how you drew the more "Crackled" parts of their clothing, while also being able to draw soft flowing clothing beautifully as well <3
