Lovers Cool Colors Version

Here's the 2nd version in the blue-ish cooler tones.

For some reason people seemed to prefer this one. I have no idea why, since I prefer the original in red.

cool

Yup, I agree with the mass that this one is better then red one. I say it because mainly red is for real hardcore romance passion, while you may view it as this, I see it more of a friendly green/blue care hug, good nature is what this is.

(I hope you don't mind me keep reviewing your work, it's just you keep adding new stuff, and unlike other artiest you actually send a well thought out reply back to us... not to mention free hugz >;3 )

P.S, could you share what the Japanese symbols in your artwork stand for? Can't be just random.

*hugs*
Yeah, you can respond as much as you want. I kinda wanna know what this community thinks. I notice the audience in this site is younger. In Deviant Art it's all people my age like late 20s-mid30s.

The Red stamp is a Chinese name stamp. It's my Chinese name "Ren Si Qi".
Other times I use my "Artist Name" (nomdeplume) which is "Black UniGryphon" or in the Furry Fandom it's called my "Fursona". BUt, when I translated "Griffin" into Chinese there's no word for Gryphon, most people translate griffin to "Vulture" but as a member of the Gryphon Guild, I totally take offence to that, so I translated it as "Dark/blackish 1-horned/unicorn Divine Beast" substituting "Gryphon" for "Shou" which means a kind of divine beast or animal elemental or "god" like a gargoyle or angel-beasty.

I have another stamp that has my Chinese poetic slog that says "Art Is The Color Of My Heart".

It's actually normal for artists in China to use multiple stamps, of all kinds. In 2008 I asked about this and no one could really explain why in a "logical" way because it's not based on the Greek way of "Logical" system like Western culture is. Instead it's based on Daoism, which means "The Way" and won't make sence from our framework of thinking but from theirs.
