**UNSUBMITTED ENTRIES** 3/3 ----- BP Challenge: **Black&White** *Placed 23/52 in below submission:* https://budgetpixel.com/p/96380 ----- 1) My most favourite piece that I compared my submission against... I should have submitted this really... (I did not because no english words were in it...) 2) I simplified the 7 emotions and 6 desires and removed a meditating person. I loved this one too. 3) This was good for more instructive learning 4) I made instructive. added a meditating person and had a perfect Yin Yang... but... boring? 5) Break and mend... 6) I just thought one's journey to control their 7 emotions and 6 desires was better to present... but I also really wanted the light and dark contrast and balance in Yin and Yang

About this image

Striking monochrome East Asian ink wash fantasy art centered on a dual yin-yang face split between soft pale light and dark shadowed features. Surround

This dramatic black and white East Asian ink wash illustration explores the classic Chinese philosophical concept of seven emotions and six desires, anchored by a bold brush-drawn yin yang symbol at its core. Each expressive human portrait and small vignette corresponds to a labeled feeling or drive ranging from joy, sadness, and anger to wealth, fame, and appetite. The dynamic splattered ink style blends traditional calligraphy with hyperrealistic portraiture for a contemplative, thought-provoking mood.

This atmospheric sumi-e style illustration visualizes the classic East Asian philosophical concept of seven emotions and six desires, organized into distinct labeled vertical panels. Each panel uses dynamic ink splatter effects and expressive artwork to represent joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, hatred, desire, lust, wealth, fame, food, sleep, and indulgence. Bold brush calligraphy headings anchor the composition, rendered in a dramatic high-contrast monochrome palette.

These are all great - would be hard to pick one from all these for the challenge actually. But I was wondering if you have considered doing a version of the seven sins for the challenge instead - I think that might be more universally understood.

From this set I would have gone with this 2. Love that idea, it looks great and would have picked against many I saw
