Hey scratchers
I've been spending a lot of time on deviantart and have recently been working on a comic series I call Yin Yang.
It's about yin and yang, my two characters that 'mimic' the angel and the devil. Problem is, they're not very different. They're brothers and unlike the biblical version of these two, they need each other to exist, like the earth and the moon. This is a compilation of all kinds of mythos and stories.
Yin is on the left, Yang is on the right.
I was wondering what y'all think of this idea. I have them up on a webcomic host, here. Post your comments/ideas below.

you sound like the devil's the good character.
You make God obnoxious and then call the devil just "misunderstood"

Hehe, the thing is, I don't call them the Angel and the Devil. They're not. They're yin and yang. They're like zeus and hades and they both share poseidon's traits. They both share Loki's traits. They're both self absorbed but have a lot of compassion.
I'm playing off some biblical ideas, but mostly not. The appearance is really the only thing based upon that. Anyway, they both have their pros and cons. In this series there isn't going to be one clear cut good guy or bad guy.
EDIT: Also, the personaes taken from the judeo-christian bible are what I get out of/interpret from it. I'm jewish and have looked at a lot of translations, and found some weird stuff pertaining to 'God'. I can't call myself a believer, however I do embrace the religion. But, aside from religious things, it's inferences and interpretations and blowing it out of proportion. (I have a comic to write!
)
It's becoming complex as I begin to write backstories. And if I do offend, I'm sorry but I'm just writing my own series using different mythos and stories.

You should scale them down a little and post them here.
For some reason it reminds me of a MAD episode- "Look out ladies, here comes Hades!"
Thanks, but I have a webcomic host that fills the intents and purposes better than scratch.

Why does Yin remind me of those Wisdom Tree games?
