As I said, my thought was more of sarcasm than literal, although I do think that the wave of negative/Shallow comments that seems to stem in Fan Art is a factor. I also should have stated it, but my comment was directed more towards DL than anyone else above the post.

Don't like Air.
Why?

Don't like Earth
WHY?!

Alchemy I'm ok with. Same with Shaman
WHY MUTHA FUCKA, WHY?!

DL's comments on Light and Shadow at least gave a reason (although short ones) and that I can accept.

No it's not. The reason ppl don't post is because whatever feedback they get (either Positive or Negative) is a joke. Lacking in reasoning WHY a viewer likes it or hates it. Feedback is an artist's life blood, and frankly comments like "i <3 dis lol" or "i hat dis RAGE!" do as much as feeding a fat-man crumbs (i.e. Very little).

Blade, I'll be honest. Almost NOTHING I see you post any more is positive or constructive in the least, and I really don't care anymore. More and more you seem to be a dick not for the lulz, but for the sake of being a dick. And btw... the "Rock Polisher" joke is getting old :/

When I asked for an opinion on which looks better (A or B) simple responses are fine. At the moment the comments I've received show about a 50-50 split, which is fine, I'm even divided on which one looks better.

I enjoy Fire A cause that was the modified original symbol I came up with, and I thought it filled the space well. Fire B also has it's appeal for the use of the same space, even giving some negative space.

When I came up with a Symbol for Air, I kinda recycled one of my previous designs from Chains of Dragons, to get the vortex look and flow of wind.

Earth was a bit more difficult, as all the symbols for earth are fairly simple. The Earth Symbol in historical alchemy was just a circle with a cross through the center. So I used my knowledge of rocks and such, to make a symbol that shows the larger whole being made up of parts. As a rock is made of minerals made of compounds made of molecules made of atoms, so is the Earth Symbol, and I slightly tied in with the historical Alchemy symbol for Earth.

Water was by far the most difficult one to come up with. Nothing I did seemed to work right until I saw a three ring symbol while doing a Google Search and then decided to modify it into my own.

Light had a lot of images online, but only a few that sparked any kind of artistic spark. The symbol represents the rays of light emanating from a central source. At least that's the reasoning.

Shadow, is simply the lack of light and thus the simplest symbol as a result.

Alchemy was more or less my own artistic take on historical Alchemy.

Shaman was my own symbol to represent what that Magi can do, technically.

Conjurer was the same way. Using a different take on the various summoning circles I Google-searched online.

Vitali was different. Since the symbol was supposed to represent a class of healers, I had to try and find any historical or mythological references to healing. Which there are very few, but I found that a Lotus was considered healing (as are various other plants thanks to Herbalism and historical shamanism), so that's what I went with.

The Aspects are merely combining the others into their own spheres. Elemental (Fire, Water, Earth, Air), Illusion (Light, Shadow), Invoker (Shaman, Conjurer), and Weaver (not done yet, but will include Alchemy and Vitali).

So there...my views. :/
