I know I said I would submit my next pic on friday but I think you people need to see this. Something quick I did about the elements.
Until now I didnt realise a lot of people will not undestand very well how elements work on the comic because it will be explain really later, so I think do something simple but that let people understand how they work.First, to undesrtand this you need to know that to work with elements people use MANA, Whats is it?
Mana is defined like some kind of energy that all living things posees and the body have different kinds of mana, but in general terms it mean energy. As much mana is needed to live it is also used to perform magic spells and technics. Some elements demand more mana than others and the same go with some spells on the same elements. The more someone use the mana the more tired end the person with spells. There is 3 kind of mana and they belong to some specific use.
The first one is the Spell mana, the most superficial level of energy, this one allow people to perform regular spells, and the level of mana people control can change according with how much people train. After all the use of this level of mana people will experiment the feeling of been the whole day running/exercising. When someone use all the mana on this level some people CANT perform more spells, but again, it depend on the training level.
The second level is called Awake mana, and like its name said it allow people been awake and work normaly during days. People can access to this mana source to use more powerfull spells and powers but the cost is bigger. After the use of this mana level people will faint, this is caused because the body feel a danger and it is a system of self-defense to avoind damage.
The last one is called Vital mana, and as you can guess, vital mana is a level of enegy that allow us to be alive. The use of this mana source is in extreme dangerous because use the whole mana on this level will cause the death of a person. This is used just for a few people on the world.
Now, lets got to the secon part, the elements.
1.-Time element: As I already said before this element is tabu for a lot of people, been extreme powerful but hard to manipulate and having a lot of risk in its use. It demand a lot of mana to its use and is slow. For use this element people should try their mind really hard, this element cause more psicological side effects than fisicals. Also the traind demand a high neutral moral cause the element can have a lot of colateral damage. For example, something really normal is that people that use it to travel time should not interfere with the past, independently if this is to fix something that is seen as bad.
2.-Space element: another powerfull element like time and tabu. Again this one demand a lot of mana but is a bit faster than time element. People that can use this element can travel across different dimensions, deform the physical space, etc. But people have to pay a lot of attention to the dimencional changes they do, and usually the train demand to people to fix this changes they do, due to the risk of this changes on the dimencions.
3.-Light: This one is not tabu like the other two. Light element is an element that dont demand much mana, is in the medium, but can be extreme powerful. Light element allow people to play with all the whole spectrum of the light (ultraviolent and infraray included) And it possesses technics of tracking, defense, assault and hiding, etc. It is an element with a wide variety of habilitis.
4.-Darkness/Shadow: Another regular element, opposite to light element but like this one it have a lot of variaty on spells. Dark is really difficult element to master and the train must be constant. This element has many manifestations including so it can look like people use dark clouds, ink, shadows or even a dark light (usually with really dark colors)
5.-Fire: an energic element, it allow people to control the heat, use blast of fire or even control magma. Fire element is in the middle, it is relative fast and strong and not a bit use of mana is needed. Fire is ferocious in combat and can make serious damage but without a proper use it can backfire them, so is needed to leard how to breathe because it is the base of the fire training.
6.-Water: Is a extremely adaptable element with an incredibly high variety of technics and skills. The mana needed vary alot according to the hability and some spells use more mana than others. Water can control the pressure of the water, temperature and form, even use the bloot to attack. Water element need a lot of training on the moviment people use.
7.-Earth: A really slow but powerfull elemente. Earth need a lot of mana for it use and is kinda slow on combat but it can provide devastating blows, attacks and very good defense. Earth element can use rocks, sand, mud and other things like that. This element demand a posture.
8.-Wind/air: this elemente is the opposite to earth. This one is quick and have a really low use of mana. It is possible to use the pressure of the air and its speed/force. Its great speed makes it a bit unpredictable and it is necessary to know very well how to keep it under control.
9.-Mineral: another slow and high mana demanding element. This one vary much less than earth but its defense is incredible, really hard, almost imposible to cross its defense, making a really hard enemy to take down if it use this element. This element not only use minerals but it can also use the oxidation.
10.-Plant/Spring: the use of plant for combat, with a middle level of mana for its use. It vary a lot of its techniques, can use like attack, defense or help. People need to extend their knowledge in botany and the use of plants to use it right.
11.-Ice: The use of Ice and snow, people can use to frozen things, make snowstorms or even create blast of big pieces of ice. Ice need a middle-high use of mana and people have to learn how to toletate the cold.
12.-Lightning: An hyperactive element, faster than wind and very powerful. With a low use of mana it can use quick blast of electricity, people should take care with its use because this element is extremely uncontrollable and unpredictable so it can shot back the one using thins power.
13.-Sound: the use of not only the sound but also the silent. Sound elemente can use from the ultrasound, infrasound. echo, silent, melody, and noise. This element dont demand much mana and its techniques can change to attack to spy missions.
14.-Metal: big variation of technics, it can been used to attack or defense, making it a formidable enemy. With a middle-high use of mana this one allow people to create weapons so is needed to be creative to use it well.
15.-Toxic: the use of poison/acid substances to attack. This element is vicious and dangerous, even can left a damage in long terms. The use of mana depend on how strong is the poison/acid, the deadly the posion the more mana is needed.
16.-Mind: The use of mind power and psiquic habilities, this element is extreme hard to master and can be really dangerous without the proper training not only for the people around but also the person in use of it. This element demand a lot of mana for its use.
Thats more or less everything abou the element, the ideas are pretty generals so whatever doubt you have just ask me. So tell me, what elements ae yours? ;3

Yes, and I can see that now, but at first, I thought it was a lotus flower.
and as far as the sun goes, why not this or that?

(mind you, the first one could be mistaken for a snowflake with the wrong colour.)

Lotus flower? must admit that I cant see that. Well, my reasons to make it different than the usual abstrac representation of the sun are many:
1)I want to make something asimetrical, as the sun is usually done on the oposite way.
2) Trying to think out of the box, the idea of make a circle with some flame thing around sound safe but a bit to common, so I picture the sun as some kind of ful orb (in contrast with the dark element that is waning moon) and insted of the flame thing I add some kind of spiral flame halo to it.
3)I got a whole cultural background for the development of the element, as in my comic they are conected with deities (specifically the Elemental Spirits) so this was a part to make it more different and have a bit of a representation of a world of their own. As I said in point two I picture the sun been a bit different, having this kind of spiral halo, something simbolic share with the light spirit and I wanted to desing it with that spiral halo to.
I let myself be really free with some element, as I usually stick to much with the already know ideas, probably a lot of this doesnt make much sense to you, but thats because I got this ideas more developed on other places (My Deviantart account got much more info)

Actually, now that you mention it the spiral flame thing is a great idea at all since it's distantly reminiscent of a solar flare.
And no, don,t worry this does make sense. x3
I'm actually really glad you included metal. As it is my favourite, and it often gets glossed over as something "fabricated" rather than something "elemental".
The chinese classical elements are my favourite, I think. :)

Well, I think metal as something different because it is purified earth material (thanks to the use of fire, thats how metal element come) And its composition is way different to earth. Earth is slow, dirty and hardly make changes. Metal is clean, plastic and change a lot. I choose this elements because of their nature.
