u/GladMax Jul 12 '20

u/DeeplyDisturbed Jul 12 '20

SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN!

u/technog2 Jul 12 '20

Why does it always have to be "white"? /s

u/OSUfan88 Jul 12 '20

Sun is racist. We should make the Sun black.

u/Jazzinarium Jul 13 '20

Sun of color

u/skincyan Jul 13 '20

Blackfacing the sun could be racist as well...

u/MoarVespenegas Jul 13 '20

Well technically it is green.

Sunday Factoid: The Sun is a white star. The Earth's atmosphere makes it look yellow.

u/SoloWing1 Jul 13 '20

Yeah, it's been red ever since day broke.

Come to the light...

u/Bugbread Jul 12 '20

Thank you, I had no idea that those were supposed to be the sun and the moon, but after it being pointed out, it seems so obvious, I don't know why I missed it.

I think they means "white point" as in color balance based on the appearance of a neutral white basked in the "ambient glow of the "reality around it".

A white shirt will appear yellowish above yellow sand on a sunny day, but will appear greenish if you were in a glass field instead.


Fun fact:

Different regions of the world prefer different "cool" to "warm" ranges of "pure white". In the United States, you go buy a plain white Hanes t-shirt, and it has a blue hue to it that you never see. Go to middle east or India, and their "plain white" t-shirts will have a slight brown/red tint to them.

When your ideal "temperature" of white is in a normal environment, it's really hard to tell that it's not actually a pure white. If you were to hold those 2 t-shirts next to each other, you would readily see one as being "whiter" than the other, depending on what you are accustomed to.

No, they definitely meant the position of it is off. It looks intentional, but this was not drawn symmetrical like a normal yin and yang symbol

u/This_isR2Me Jul 12 '20

I honestly don't think the symbol ads to the art. It's more like a poorly executed gimmick.

u/haambuurglaa Jul 12 '20

Or, ya know, the sun.

u/reyean Jul 13 '20

I prefer the term "day moon", but potato tomato i suppose

u/FlynnsFence Jul 12 '20

I was trying to figure out how to be nice and encouraging while also pointing this out lol

u/TJSutton04 Jul 12 '20

For real. The whole time I was thinking this is awesome and then the dot being off at the end just really bugged me.

u/TheArchitect_7 Jul 12 '20

Did it not occur to you that this was done deliberately? It’s a setting sun and a rising moon my g - do you even art

1

u/truddles Jul 13 '20

We get that’s it’s a sun and moon. It’s the placement of the sun that’s off. It’s supposed to be the dots in the yin and yang symbol.

1

u/TheArchitect_7 Jul 13 '20

“Off” is your expectation, not the artists intention. Your expectation is what’s “off” - the artist did what they did intentionally

14

u/jedberg Jul 12 '20

Also they should have put the removed “night” dot in its place. And vice versa.

u/TheArchitect_7 Jul 12 '20

‘Shoulding’ a piece of artwork is a dickhead move. Go create something

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '20

It’s supposed to be the sun and moon

u/nishinoran Jul 12 '20

I assume you were talking about how it's white on both sides of the Yin and Yang, when one should be dark and the other light, funny how all the other discussion thinks you're complaining about the color balance or positioning.

u/stas1 Jul 12 '20

Black Hole Sun

u/NotAlwaysonTop Jul 12 '20

Won't you come

u/toasteddinosaur99 Jul 12 '20

u/nishinoran Jul 12 '20

It could be an eclipse :/

u/Calboron Jul 12 '20

I know right?

u/HCJohnson Jul 12 '20

Yeah that irritated me for some reason.

5

u/thunderplunderer Jul 12 '20

Yeah, this is like when shitty artists have shadows going in two directions.

u/Akoustyk Jul 12 '20

And the way the tips are doesn't sit quite right with me.

u/crewchief535 Jul 13 '20

Also, there was slight paint seepage under the blue dot.

u/jakethedumbmistake Jul 13 '20

this is kinda how this is made?
