2. Submissions must follow the current theme that has been chosen by a moderator for that week. If you submit more than one piece, please clarify which one you would like to be judged.
3. If your image is larger than 600 pixels wide, please provide a link to the image instead of posting it in the forum. Otherwise, the image will be cut off.
4. Artists cannot win in subsequent weeks. You can still submit, but if you won the week before, you cannot get first place again the next week.
5. After the deadline, a moderator will pick the winner, and they will be awarded a 25 AP award.

also(sorry for double post or whatever)but I think the one opposite of the heart is a ring like a wedding ring or something.I think these are all either opposites are things that are the same or go with each other or something.I still don't understand the title.It may have something to do with what inspired the drawing.Also I know that we may be looking too much into all of this.

It just seem to show the - next step. Like love to marriage, raptor to plastic, day to night/night to day, the eternal ring?

On the left box:
Sun - Moon
San - Si, Three - Four ("Sang" - "Si&quot Chinese number symbolism.
Dinosaur - Plastic bottle thingy, Someone already dug up the old entry.

On the right cube:
Money - Love
II - IIII, Two - Four (That's the watchmaker's 4.)
Male - Female

Did you know?
--If you add up the numbers on opposite sides of a die, you get seven.
--If you really think about a puzzle before you go to sleep, the answer might be in your dreams if your brain has already solved it.
--I find puns to be the highest form of humor.
--There are at least three puns in this post already that hint at the answer to one of the box. (Four, if you count one so horrible people would be wondering if it was or wasn't a pun.)

The answer is there, but what is the question?
I'm twisting the theme a little. Why do we make resolutions?

Wait, I swear I'll devote the time to get this before I judge. Wouldn't be fair otherwise.

Gantic I will decipher your box some how.I promise you and also I would have never guessed that a ring would represent wealth.If it were money then that would have been different.I will look further into this today.

OK(sorry for double post...again)I think this art is all based on some sort of psychological tehory made or possibly just thought of by this man.

Sigmund Freud

This would explain everything he has been saying to us about how we figured out things in our dreams and such.It seems some or many of his theories were based on the unconscious mind and peoples dreams.I am starting to wonder how it all adds up,but I'm sure he has a point to it all.

@Gantic
*breaks down and cries from extreme confusion* Dang, I have been confused about things for almost the entire day. Haha. But what Cenere said on page 245 makes a ton of sense to me. So, I'm voting he figures it out first.

@Gamingkid
I'm not sure I want to know why you don't want to take any more laxatives. I for one try to stay away from bowel movement enhancers.

Hmm @ Gantic's entry.
Fundamental opposites, cannot have both at once (in the sense of either one or the other), something like choosing between that or the other.
Active - passive. New Year Resolutions is about chosing one over the other, to right one's wrongs, to be the opposite. If you are drinking, then you want to stop, if your are fat, you will try go get slim, always trying to be the opposite of what you are, på often the outcome ends up to be null. You cannot drastically change, not many can do that. It is like rolling a dice, either you atchieve your goal, or you do not.

@Cholokid,
I believe it is a reference to bulimia.An eating disorder,and so I suppose the new years resolution is to stop being bulimic.

Also over the course of the day I studied some of the things within each of boxes and compared them to the clues.First thing I noticed was that love and money are things that connect people together(reasons why people marry) and day and night are times of the day while the other set represented how something changes over time.It all relates to time.The last two sets have something to do with numbers.In each one even though the numbers are not the same they use the same symbols with each set.Also the left box the numbers in the box together equal 7 while the numbers in the equation added up to not give 7(it gives 18) but on the other one its the other way around the equation adds up to 7,but the numbers in the box do not(they add up to 6)Also tab caps and shift are all on the same column right next to each other on the key board.with tab on the top,and right below that is caps,and below that is shift,I see co many things in here that could hint towards the answer,but I just can't put the pieces together.
