This is my art entry for August. There are quite a few symbolic things in this, so I'll list it all below. You don't have to read them but oh well.

Torak and Wolf as one: This was to show that even though they are as good as one, they are divided (the line down the middle) and this is because of Torak wanting revenge. He pushes away his friends to achieve this (note: i have no idea if that actually happens)

Torak's eye: In the photo you can't see it very well, but Torak has a very shadowed and unfocused eye. This is to show that he hasn't fully recovered from his time as an outcast, and is still haunted.

Soul Eater Mark: The mark on Torak's quiver is to symbolise that even though the tattoo is gone, Torak is still infected by the soul eaters.

Non-Visable Tattoo: You can't see Torak's 'of every clan' tattoo and that is to show that as he hunts for revenge he pushes others away and in a way he becomes clanless once more.

Wolf in the Light and Torak in the dark: This is to show that wolf is good, whereas Torak is turning towards his dark side. Wolf is trying to pull Torak back, but can't. Also in the sky there is a black star, this is meant to be the red auroch eye or whatever it is (the evil star)

I would like to say something about Torak's head as well. I know its kind of square, but this is because I thought that Inuit's (sp?) heads were like that. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Finally, Here is the link lol:

Wow. That was quick.
I like it how you used all the symbolic things to show what you think may or may not happen in the book, and what has happened recently.
Tis good. Good work!

Nice symbolism and detailed drawing, well done!
As for Inuits having square heads... I think they have rounder faces than us, but not square. But that doesnt matter, because I dont think his head looks that square anyway.
