Oh wow, this is almost perfect for what I was looking for...Quick question, what exactly is the meaning of this symbol? I'm trying to make something for a character I created for a RPG I'm in, but I unknowingly used the ouroboros for it when the design is supposed to be demonic. If this matches what I'm looking for, I may have to search for this instead

I love the ripe imagry and symbolism within this piece.. feels very subtle, but almost blatant at the same time. Like I can understand the deeper meaning, the message, without actually knowing what it really is, or what it might truly mean.

Your shading is fantastic, too, most notably on the creature's faces. The combination of ink and ink wash is very appealing.

minonion [2008-08-03 19:34:22 +0000 UTC]

This is really great. The shading is awesome, and it seems simple but somewhat intricate at the same time. Reminds me of a vicious, unending cycle where things depend on each other but at the same time destroy each others.

The Jagged Ouroboros reminds me of something at the bottom of a Tequila bottle. Suffering is infinite I see you have a fascination with infinity and destruction from your recent Red Dragon Piece, reminds me of the sun it is always consuming itself to survive much like life. The background has a nice antique almost like a fresco or old print a look befitting the Gothic dragon.
