Artist's Comments

What is the point in recycling old clichés? The idea behind this series is to create the most unique representation of Zodiac signs showing the true nature and essence of what they stand for. After 3 years since the first designs have been posted I decided that it is time to revive the series and redo everything, adding more detail, more color, more thought behind each sign. I received hundreds of replies from people thanking me for getting the essence of their sign right, this is amazing, you guys get it, not much needs to be said further. I hope you all enjoy this revision.
Cheers, Aleks.

I think the 'webbing' needs to be thicker/more intricate (in the tiers). I can explain this to u on msn/later if you don't know what I mean.

And perhaps more wing extensions?

Maybe put a pearl in each thingie in the bottom thing--one in each thing sticking out. (Aquarius...water...pearl. Wee.)

aquarius is a weird one, its an air sign, but it's symbol is the water-bearer. This is really cool, don't get me wrong, but for some reason I don't get the impression of Aquarius

Personally, I think it looks fine. I like the sort of "tear" drops coming down off of it. Definatly made me think of water.

Definatly! I would say if you really do not care for it that much, work on another Zodiac and then come back to this and see what you think then.

I'm just happy there's an aquarius after all! Yay! Personally to me, it looks great but as they say, An artist's greatest critic is himself.
