The post above just did. The symbol you refer to, that the native americans and the eastern people use isn't what you drew. You drew the rewamped symbol used by the nazis for destruction. The one's that has a good meaning, and that you refer to, is flipped and inverted in comparision to the swastica you drew.

I think both versions have been used before the Nazis used it, but yeah, even if you use a swastika with good intentions, you're audience likely isn't going to see it that way, so it's probably best to omit it altogether.

it's a big challenge, i'd say

And why wouldn't it be good to use in my drawings? I know about the swastika and how it's used in different countries with other meanings as well. I know the difference between a 90 degree and a 45 degree one. I know who Hitler is and I know about how his dictatorship left deep roots in European history. That symbol is strongly associated with Hitler, so everyone things it's the "Nazi symbol" and that it's "bad." Don't worry, I know what it is. I'm Native American and we use it too.

Anyway, thanks for your comments.

Still, Hitler is terrible he killed some of my relatives. I know you don't mean it but most of my family is Jewish and I take that personally.

that ↑ is one of the reasons not to use it. maybe you use it too, but you should maybe explain that before you post this. Its true, everyone thinks that this is the 'bad nazi symbol' , but in some ways it is. german and jewish people connect it with hitler first and that could lead to missunderstanding. like it does here. well, I think that was a bit offtopic. sorry.

Gunn, may I give you an friendly advise?

Ask a mod to close this thread. Not because of your skills, but because of the discussion here. Erase the swastiker and the SS symbol, and if you want critiques on the drawing, open another thread.

You could stick with this thread too, but I think most posts are going to be about the symbol.

Do what you think is the best and HF,
