Artist's Comments

2 rats forming the classic 'yin and yang' symbol. I am aware that this has been done dozens of times by dozens of artists; I just wanted to try my hand at it.

Acrylic paint, marker and colored pencil on heavy cardboard. This originally had a solid background but I cut the border unevenly and decided to cut out the figures instead.

Orly? I haven't seen anything like this before. (lol, maybe I need to get on deviantart more) But I really like this. Good job.

I've seen a couple on DA actually. They're done differently than mine but I didn't want any "omgarttheft!" comments, haha.

Thank you :)

I hardly think anyone can accuse you of arttheft for such a universally recognised symbol. Anyway, it's lovely, and I like the 3d-ness of it all :)

I don't think so - I've never seen something like this before :D It's really wonderful, I like it a lot! These rattlets turned out really gorgeous. They're super-cute! :love:

Do I look too deeply into things? Maybe it's you that can only see the surface...

I've seen people whine about less important things =P
I still haven't decided whether or not i like the cut out... It makes the tails a bit weak, but on the other hand I can hang it from things now. It's currently in our rat room hanging from the window with a suction cup hook.

If I ever decide to cut things out again, it'll just be from plain paper though :B
