:star-empty:Here's one of the 13 Zodiac Tee-shirt Designs: Ophiuchus. :star-empty:

I'm making these this summer for an Art's market, but will also be selling them from my DA account. If you are interested in learning more about my Zodiac Tee-shirt series, please visit my journal, note me, or email me at DreamweaverYume@msn.com.

These are still only the working design, so the complete design will have the name, element and symbol along with the character. When I make the first tester tee-shirts, I'll post them here and you can see what I mean. Sorry for the eye-sore of a watermark, and don't worry the tee-shirts will NOT have it, but I don't want these getting stolen -__-;;

:star-empty: Here I would give you some fun facts about Ophiuchus, :star-empty:...
like your element and planet, but since of course it isn't actually recognized as a part of the zodiac, I can't =( . Instead here's some fun facts I found on Wikipedia that explain somethings:
It's formerly referred to as Serpentarius, the former(Ophiuchus) originating in the Greek language and the latter in the Latin language, both meaning "serpent-holder," is one of the 88 constellations and was also one of the 48 listed by Ptolemy. It is a large constellation located in the southern hemisphere near the center of the Milky Way, between Scorpius to the west and Sagittarius to the east. Of the 13 zodiacal constellations (constellations that contain the Sun during the course of the year), Ophiuchus is the only one not counted as an astrological sign. Ophiuchus is depicted as a man supporting a serpent.. etc... It went on with some cool stories about how it was also called the "serpent-Healer" or "Healer" and stuff... too much to explain here, so If you're interested visit: [link]
I Just had to do this XD Snakes are cool, and so are healersXD, and I wish they would have put it into the zodiac... wonder why not :?
Obviously, since this design has no element, symbol, or personality, I'll have to be alittle creative with I finish the design XD; I made her to look kinda emotionless or alittle sad, and her clothing...just kinda happened XD I wanted "mystic" and I guess it works. I might actually end up changing the colors alittle, cause they're not as good as I wanted, so comments are good.


Remember Ophiuchus =(. The Hidden Zodiac...

It's interesting how different cultures have a thirteenth, 'missing' zodiac.

She does look very mystical, with that costume.

wellll... hard to say why it wasn't added. The 12-month calendar is fairly recent compared to zodiac astrology, so I dunno why they don't count it. maybe they used to and then stopped having a 13th one when they decided they only wanted 12 months. naturally, they garbage the coolest-sounding one. =(
:iconexiledchaos:
Mre... I know ;__; hmm... but even with the 12 monhs, it's not like they sync up with them anyways if you check the birthdates, so I'm sure they could have sqeezed it in. They're just lazy.... :paranoid: he... I wonder what they would call the 13th month if they did make one. XD

Ah, so that's what those Serpent mobile suits from Gundam W are named after. I always kinda wondered about that.
