Information / Commentary
- This is another graphic I created using the digital 'node' technique in Paint Shop Pro. I've been trying to figure out a possible tattoo for myself, and I've always liked the Auryn symbol. This take on the symbol was used in the movie 'The Neverending Story.' I would describe the symbol as an Entangled Double Ouroboros. The ancient symbol of Ouroboros is a circle created by a snake eating it's own tail. A Double Ouroboros, of course, would be a circle created by two snakes eating eachother's tail, which is what Auryn was described as being in the book 'The Neverending Story.' In the story the Auryn could be used to grant wishes.
  
  The first image is the 'more-graphic-like' version of the Auryn that I created. The second image is my Rattle Snake version. The third is what a lot of people might call the 'tribal' version. I'm not sure which of the three I like better.
  
  The last three images show some other colors I tried for the graphic. The first is based on the book cover image I found (the one sold in stores, not the book-prop used in the movie). The second looks like the Auryn worn in the Part II. The third is a duller gold Auryn that looks more like the one worn in the first movie.
