Description
So this is my second entry for the bring your vision to life contest. I still like the concept of my first one but I feel that it was lacking in the visuals department. You can find it here -->[link]This one is a little bit more generic and I'm not really a dragon artist so I'm sure I'm not going to do very well. (more like I'm going to lose and not place in the top...anything) But I still thought I'd give it another shot because I really want that tablet. And Photoshop. lol I need an update.
The black dragon is something of my own design and the white dragon is based on the Eastern dragons (so he looks better)
I'd love some advice to make this look better. I might come back and adjust some things.
EDIT-
Someone on FAC gave me some good critique. I smoothed some things out and made the black dragon's orb orange so that it will be the opposite of the white dragon's orb.
EDIT 2-
I fixed the opposing colors inside of the yin yang. Before they were to small and looked kind of funny. Thanks to ~mello-dramatic for the advice!

This is beautiful! The black dragon looks more like a bird with the feathers, but I love the huge difference between it and the white traditional Chinese one.

Nice pic! I always visualized yin and yang as dragons, sometimes as cats and sometimes as fire and ice.

Holy...This is just beautiful. An amazing peace of work. I have always loved the Yin and Yang, and this is perfect in showing off their different sides. Amazing job. I tip my hat to you.

Nice picture, I love it.
Did you know they represent:
1. push and pull
2. Life and death
3. Good and evil
4. Light and dark

Wow, this is a stunning piece! I love the lighting you've done around both the orbs - it adds to the magical, fantastical feel. You pulled off the flow between opposing elements wonderfully as well!

First of all this is beyond amazing. 
Second, I would like to beg you to allow me to get this as a tattoo.
I've been looking around for years for a sketch of the idea I've had in my head for a tattoo I've always wanted and put a lot of thought into. I specifically want dragons circling a yin yang symbol, the dragons opposing the colors of the side they are on. It should be obvious the meanings behind each symbol and why I picked them but to clarify I like the idea of peace, and harmony within oneself and outside oneself the yin yang symbol represents, I like the strength, and freedom the dragons represent and I wanted opposing dragon colors to match the yin yang symbol because I wanted them to be showing harmony within the tattoo itself. I could seriously, sit here and go into all the detail I originally wanted but have no idea how to sketch out myself but I'm sure your not interested.
Regardless, I was looking up ideas to start a sketch when I stumbled upon this. Honestly? This isn't only the only 'idea' I found that remotely represented my own inner idea but its the best damn picture I've ever seen representing the idea. I enjoy this picture a lot. I think you did a wonderful job and its whole layout is just fantastic.
Anyways, if I got the tattoo I wouldn't put the background into it, it would strictly be the dragons and yin yang symbol, but still. I would rather ask you for permission to one day get this as a tattoo and not just.. go out there and do so. Ya'know? Let me know

This might be helpful to you.

Scroll down to the bottom of the post. Please read my guidelines for use of the tattoo and respect them.
It's over a year old now and the inking is pretty bad, as is the quality. I'd do a lot different now, but this is all I currently have in the form of a tattoo version of this painting.
You're free to take the lines and do with them as you please in order to form them into what you want, or have another artist do so. I'd fix them up myself, but I'm tired of seeing them honestly.
And thank you very much for the compliment to my work.

Its okay its old so I wouldn't ask you to redo somethin if ya didn't have time or such. Thank you so much for even letting me see this so I could form it into a tattoo 
You're welcome. I enjoyed looking at a lot of your art

Might be awhile before I get it since I have to save up and such and am not in any real hurry to get the tattoo because I wanna be 100% sure that the end product is Exactly what I want. But this picture is pretty spot on
