Cyn-thet-ica, T-Shirt with Fantasy Art

Cyn-thet-ica is my latest t-shirt design as of today at least. This is another fantasy character I created. This t-shirt is available in a few colors, depending on what you prefer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
First I would like to thank everyone who have taken an interest in my work, thats very cool of you. Now for the symbols, the bird is the Phoenix and represents life from death, and is placed above all as a standard for the conquering of death with rebirth. The Onk to the right has several meanings, first the circle represents the endless struggle of life to survive no matter what, devouring It's own tail. The tautan cross part symbolizes a bladed barbed weapon in which unwavering faith in an ability to succeed in slaying death will lead to victory, the enemy being represented in the last icon on the bottom. They each represent different aspects of the same Idea, however there is a story to this as well. Cyn-Thet-Ica is a side character in one of a series of stories in Fire Heart (copyrighted), all this applies directly to her life. At a young age as a queen, she had to make the toughest decision of her natural life. To save herself and all her people from a chemical weapon set into motion by an imperialistic robot nation. Forgoing their carbon based bodies for synthetic ones, so that they may survive genocide and thrive to claim victory over their attackers.

  4. Thx for the comments. Just added description of the character and the design. As for the inspiration, it ranges form childhood nightmares, to people in my life to movies and books to I don't even know. Some ideas just pop into my head and I end up developing them into a whole story.

  5. I like the back story! Intriguing notion of self sacrifice laced with an imperialistic robotic army... That's like a neural core sample from my dreams man! Looks like I need to know more of this Fire Heart.
