Description

There is a mysterious thing
That existed before Heaven and Earth,
Silent and empty,
Alone and unchanging,
Ceaselessly turning,
It is the Mother of All Things.

If I must, I'll call it "Great."
Greatness entails transcendence.
Transcendence entails going beyond.
Going beyond entails return to the beginning.

TAO TE CHING XXV

The Ouroboros symbolizes life on every level--the macrocosm and the microcosm, the universal and the individual.



I present to you: Boris. I haven't done much art of him, but he's been around for a while-- and will have a HUGE PART in Starless Skies. He is the physical manifestation of the Ouroboros~ created by *SPOLIER* in the city of *SPOILER*. You'll have to read the comic and wait for him to show up.

Some of my most treasured objects are my Alchemy books. I've decided that I want a lot of Alchemic terms and symbols to be in the comic. Fans of the series Fullmetal Alchemist surely recognize the symbol and hopefully know it's meaning. FMA did an awesome job with a few Alchemic components-- but there is SO MUCH that has been left out. I'm hoping to spoil people with more complicated images and things. Not just the Philosopher's Stone, but the Great Work itself. <3

Note: prima materia - first materal


Ohmygod. It's 3 AM. I need to sleep so I can do tons of laundry tomorrow and keep packing for camping.

This design WILL later appear on shirts and whatnots, so keep an eye out. Again, I want to thank the fans of Starless Skies for your support and everything. Updates and more will come at you as soon as I get back from camping!

LOVES FOR YOU ALL.
