Description
UGH THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG OKAY. -tears hair out- But I'm actually pretty proud of the results and I'm so glad my friend Louis coached me through this e.o His art direction helped a lot.Anyway, um, this is a graduation gift for my sort of adopted brother because he is awesome and drives me places and kicks peoples's asses and is overall really awesome and SHOULD be my blood brother but somehow isn't. He's the one who got me the katana for my birthday eee
So the characters on the left corner are for wisdom, honor, and courage, and the characters on the right are my chinese name. (:
The upside down cross on the tiger's tail is Louis's necklace. (he gave it to his girlfriend 'cause he's cute.) It's Thor's hammer. The chain/heart bracelet on the dragon's tail is a bracelet he gave to his girlfriend for their first month anniversary, and the jade bracelet that's supposed to be a ring is mine, lol. I wear it all the time.
The tiger symbolizes Louis - he's a fighter/ninja/practices martial arts and many called him Akumatora, or the tiger demon.
The dragon symbolizes his girlfriend and one of my best friends, Jacqueline. She's fierce and strong and beautiful.
And the phoenix is me. ... very feathery and artistic. I guess. Lol.
Oh, and the background texture was just some parchment image I found on google.
Uh.. yeah. (: -shrug- I might make this into a wallpaper. If any of you want to, just send a note ASKING ME FIRST. Please. Thank you. <3

YAY finally, something I can rub in Louis's face, lol. It was my initial idea to make it just plain black and white so it'd be less OHHAITHERE let me ROB YOU OF YOUR VISION, but he wanted it to stand out. And when I asked why, he said the main focus of the picture is supposed to be the yin yang. Guards aren't held higher in regard to kings. Yada yada.
I was like. -.- Fine, Lou, fine.
c: I'm so glad someone agrees with me. -flails-
