Description The latest in my Creation series.
Pangu
Chinese myth of creation. In the beginning there was nothing in the universe except a formless chaos. This chaos began to coalesce into a cosmic egg for eighteen thousand years. Within it, the perfectly opposed principles of yin and yang became balanced and Pangu emerged from the egg. Pangu set about the task of creating the world: he separated Yin from Yang with a swing of his giant axe, creating the Earth (murky Yin) and the Sky (clear Yang).

I love the colors in this! I love the tension between the orange and the blue in the middle, with the calm of green balanced in the two corners.

Simply breathtaking.

Wonderful colours and great perspective and composition.

I think the strength lies in the seamless collaboration between traditional and modern elements and technique.

Really beautiful.

Nice color and combination of a somewhat abstract feeling with a realistic one.
