Description Phew it's been a while since I've made a signature...

"Two spheres hovering in the vastness of space are constantly thrown together by freak gravity waves. Their distinct opposite qualities, however, force them to savagely attack each other, rather than be smashed into an infinite amount of particles. These two became known as Hikari to Kurai: light and dark. The endless struggle between the two forces continues... even to this day...."

Please do comment if you enjoy this piece of art. Constructive criticism greatly appreciated.

Time spent: ~3 hours.
Program used: GIMP.

Hehehe, thank you! I was mildly going for yin and yang, but not directly. Also, it was a request from a friend, so not my idea.

I agree. My specialty is natural-based, subtle, yet detailed signatures. I like it because if you glance at it, you notice hardly anything. But if you stare for a second, you suddenly realize how amazingly detailed it truly is. Thank you for the comment.

I think you should have put the black symbol over the white ball thing, very cool!

The problem with that is, that it would make the letters stand out too much. In addition, I merely lowered the opacity, so no matter what letter I put over the white, it would be white. Nonetheless, I thank you very much so for the criticism, and I will take it into consideration.

I would love to have the background without the letters so that I can use it as my signature in my many many game forums, or if you could put RedPiano on it, in the corner. If you didnt notice this was a very random request its a very unique piece that makes me think of many different things at once and would love to spread it through forums. If you would be willing to do this I would be willing to critisize your future works ^_^!

Hmm..... darn it... and to think I could get PAID for doing this...

Well, I'm technically on vacation right now, so I can't really do that... (Different house, no computer...) But! When I get back, I'll see what I can do. I always love getting criticism.
