Description
Inspired by the thought of having a yin yang symbol involving a handprint, and only finding a vinyl sticker (1), I decided to come up with my own interpretation. Admittedly, I'd have preferred a more proper looking hand, but it's the only sort that would fit into what I wanted. I'm releasing this under a Creative Commons licence, because two pieces of clipart I used (the yin yang (2) and handprint (3) were gotten from CC sources, so it seems only fair to. The paw print (4) comes from an unknown original source, given I think the place I'm linking to got it from elsewhere, but I could be wrong. I'm attributing all my sources (both components and inspiration for the design) via the links below.
It's a simple design I plan to use with my site Therians dot Net as a compliment to the Therian Symbol as I think the symbol represents the duality and contrasts between one's human and animal sides. I lightly modified the originals (colour inversion, scaling and rotating) to suit my purposes but other than that they remain unchanged. Permission is given to use and/or modify this, but I require attribution for it, as per the Creative Commons licence terms. Additionally, if you do use it, please let me know where as I'd like to see where it gets used.
**Edit (09/01/2015)**
Additionally, according to the same CC licence terms, this picture cannot be used commercially without express permission from myself. The licence already states this, but I'm now also putting it here so it can be more clearly seen. I would also like to state that I've no issues with people using it as their profile/display/cover picture on their personal Facebook, Twitter, Skype, etc. profiles. You're also allowed to share the image, but I again stress that you cannot sell this picture or anything that uses this picture without my expressly written permission. If I see anywhere that uses this picture commercially without my permission, I will be having words with the owner of the website/company to discuss "licencing fees" for using my work. This picture is not Public Domain and never has been; I chose this licence specifically so individuals would be allowed to use and share the picture for their own personal uses, uses that do not - by default - extend to making money out of it.
For most of you, the updated edit will not apply (just as it hasn't since this picture initially was uploaded), feel free to continue to download it, use it on your computer desktop, profile pages and so on. Those of you who want to use the design to either sell items or even use on your business's website, please contact me at stormkeeper [at] xenostorm [dot] net with the heading where we can discuss matters further. Keep in mind that I'm not on here as often as I'd like to be, so you're best off emailing me as I should receive it as I've always got access to my email. Expect a response within approximately 48 hours (excluding Sundays). Failing that, do send me a message on here too, as I do have some issues with my email address related to domain issues on here, but again, expect a delayed response!
Additionally (and this is the important bit), please title it "Licencing Therian Yin-Yang", as I'll have a filter set up to catch any emails with this title, so I'll definitely get them. So far, this has been the only thing I've done that requires it, but if I start releasing more things in the future with a similar licence to this, then I'll come up with a more efficient way of allowing my works to be licenced.
Lastly, I do appreciate all comments, favourites and other positive feedback for this picture and I thank everyone who has given some so far, and everyone who will give it in the future! I regret that I don't answer in a more timely manner, but you will eventually get a response from me, I promise... even if it happens to be a year or so down the line
Please also take note of this comment if you wish to use this image for personal use as there is important information here, that allows you to get near-automatic consent if you agree to the terms set out within the comment. If you wish to commercially exploit (or otherwise use in relation to your organisation), you should look at the last part of the comment!

Whilst optional, I also highly encourage you to post the link to where you want to use this, so I can check out where it's used as I'm always curious to see where this picture ends up, and ideally I want to find out from the person using it, rather than a reverse image search, as then I have to start approaching people, and that's never fun!
Again, if you wish to use this for your business or non-profit organisation, then you must contact me directly so I'm able to appropriately licence the picture to you or otherwise relax the conditions attached to the CC licence, in exchange for reasonable compensation.
