Description Full view recommended, it's a transparent PNG. Who doesn't full view, anyway?

I hate working with circles. The pixels never look quite right. Next version will be a different shape.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this image except for the time it took to find ideal source pictures, cut the characters out of those pictures and blend them into their new background (although I didn't bother to finish the blending on the Doctor), deal with the complications generated by ears, correct miscellaneous distracting artifacts, and balance out a minor colour disparity caused by lighting differences.

Two years later: moving this out of my Scraps, admitting that I'm not going to do another version, and deciding that the Doctor looks fine--best, even--without "blending".

Nicely done, but it would fit better if 10th and the Master were reversed. Yang (Black) is more passive while Yin (White) is more aggressive. Just something I learned out of an English 11 class .

Actually, as Chinese people, we consider Yang as white, becourse it always beyond on Yin which is black.

this is interesting. people seem to naturally assume dark to be bad and light to be good, a stereotype or perhaps just the fact that light represents knowing your surroundings, and dark means you can't see, leaving you vulnerable, a relic of old survival instincts, maybe?

That explanation for the assumption makes a lot of sense.

Actually, remember how there is a white dot in the black space, and a black dot in the white space? might be compatible with the doctor and master in their respective places.

WritingFreak15 In reply to Celero38 [2012-02-12 23:02:17 +0000 UTC]

I said that because the yang is female and yin is male. So whenever I see the yin-yang sign, and there's a guy in yang it's really funny to think that. XD

Hmm I'm not sure I like the seal pattern ontop of the master, but other than that I think this is a perfect way to show the relationship between those two.

Positive and Negative, Ying and Yang, Light and Dark, Good and Bad and finaly Tiger and Dragon. After-all they're the number 23!
