"Argia ei pilio - wrath and pardon."
--- DETAIL: [link] (you can actually see the faces) Wrath is a stage that all dark-mages are susceptible to. If one loses too much blood or energy, the stage kicks in, and the mage will take any life in its path to survive. Typically lasting no more than ten devastating minutes, at the end, the subject will either drop down unconscious and wake up later as he was before, or enter Pardon, a conscious, painless stage said to be the Gods' reprieve from the sins the mage has just committed before his own soul swallows him. The six-pointed star represents Imra, the Alisian Dark Goddess, patroness of wrath and war. The concentric circles represent Rathir, the Light God, patron of forgiveness and pity. Together, the symbols form the six-spoked wheel, the unifying symbol of Alisian culture, representative of man, worldly hardship, and strength. Fast forward eight hundred years, no more dark-mages, but Alisian society has turned into a world of mobsters, and pride in one's history is strong as ever. The design is, in theory, something one would tattoo on their back. If you'd like an iron-on version (I have no life and am going ot put one on my messenger bag), please send me a Note and $10 USD (+$2 shipping if international). Don't take and use as a tattoo. That would be creepy. EDIT: Sorry for makign this appear in your inbox so many times, but I've been trying to touch up the faces in Photoshop. EDIT II: Heavily inspired by *gottschalk whose name I just learned. Rivek "Falcon" Ailinar (c) Grace "MingYun" Fong, |

Screw having a sig.
I came up w/ the symbolism on the subway home from school, lol. It used to be a 4-pointed star and a single circle (check out the previous pics with Riv's tattoo), but then I was like "duhr, wheel!"

I just have no appropriate words to describe my love for this.
The composition, the contrast in the shading and the two sides. The details and symbolism.
Ohmy.

Are you doing prints of this at any stage?
But yes, there will be a print of this coming out eventually - or I could just make one for you and ship it to you. $8 USD + $2 USD cuz you live in Australia.
