"The sun, as the orb of day.
So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed,
And yet anon repairs his drooping head,
And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore
Flames in the forehead of the morning sky.
- Milton."

A character depicting both day and night.

This thumbnail shows the detail of the face. I have tried to convey a sense of both happiness and sadness on the same face. One side in shadow the other in light and showing amusement.

This detail shows the shoulder and the detail of the tattoo along and down the arm. I wanted to create a division between the wings and the back and the horns on the characters head. Good/Evil, or light and dark.
