Description This is a digitally re-combined image that features elements of Dance of Balance 4 and Distant Star 5 .

I had someone ask me if I had any of the yin-yang-themed pieces with both a phoenix and a dragon, and much to my chagrin, I did not! However, I did have images that contained the elements separately... Here's where Photoshop comes into play with a great deal of erasing-around-the-edges and use of the Stamp tool.

I created the original artworks with traditional mediums including colored pencil, watercolor, and metallic paint pens.

They are very pretty, I can't decide which one I like more... but I think the black dragon matches a phoenix better. Lovely work!

That is so cool. Any chance for a lineart version?

Thanks!

As this is a digital composite piece, I don't have any pencil lines for it per se.Β  I'll see about recombining the separate line designs once I have them both inked.
