This image is a new take on the ancient concept of yin and yang, good and evil, positive and negative, male and female, and the balance between them. While the friendly and intelligent dolphin represents the more positive aspects of the sea, the shark represents the darker and more dangerous aspects. This was also inspired by the DragonLance Dark Disciple trilogy and the dark sea goddess in that world who was Zeboim, while the sea elves were aligned with dolphins.
Drawn originally with Prismacolor markers and finished in 2006.
