Background contest!

It is a contest. I'll provide reputation points for the winners. Is it an attractive enough prize? Well, you will have to create a background featuring some Warcraft features. I'll provide a default description for those who do not really know what to do. Others, use your imagination. Those who can, do your own + the default.

Here it is:
What I want is a background of three sections. On the right, there'll be a strange night-elf warden under a brilliant moon and a dark blue sky and on the left, there'll be a male high elf in much the same way as the night-elf. He will be under a dazzling sun and pale blue sky. And in between, there'll be a tall man of which only his silhouette will be visible(defined by a non-existant light). The center will be black and behind the man, there'll be a yin-yang(you know, the circle halved by a curved line. One half is black with a white circle and the other is the exact opposite). You can do it?

In case you can do it, here's the description of the persons.

Female warden(night-elf)
Appearance:
She has a smooth purple skin, a rather large mouth and thin lips of bluish color, not-too-long pointed ears, dark red eyes(not very big), dark red long hair(shimmering under the moonlight) and dressed in a moon armor. The moon armor will be red and gold, mostly red(borders of gold and occasional streaks of gold for it to resemble fire.) The moon armor covers her whole body but at the joints of bones, there is black leather for free movement. On her wrist armor, there is an orb of fire and a ruby(right and left respectively) Tied at her neck and attached to the shoulder armor, a cloak falls to the ground. The cloak is red and streaks of gold curved in such a way that it seems like living fire. The boots and gloves are similar(mostly red with streaks of gold.) Her neck is not revealed; it is covered with the black leather.
She will have her left hand(the rightmost hand, that is) pointing upwards to the moon and her right side will be covered by the cloak. Her left side is be naturally revealed as her left hand is raised. Her right hand will be fingering a katana on her left side. The sheath is of a similar design as the rest of her gear.

Now the male high elf, he'll be like the blood mage I believe with different colors:
He has light skin, large mouth with rosy lips, not-too-long pointed ears, light blue eyes(not very big), short blond hair and not-too-long pointed eyebrows and dressed in a similar armor as the night elf. Everything else is similar to the night-elf. The gold is substituted by silver and the red by light blue. The black leather of the night-elf will be white for the high elf. The orb will be an orb of frost and the ruby will be a sapphire, laterally inverted.
He will be pointing his right hand(leftmost hand) towards the sun and will be similar to the night-elf. Similarly, his left hand will be fingering a katana of the same design as the rest of his gear.

Those were rather symmetrical. Now for the center:
It will be a male figure in blackness. His silhouette will be distinguished as if he was in front of a powerful light. Behind him, there'll be a sign. It'll be a yin-yang. It is a circle halved by a curved line: exact halves. The left side will be like a drop of water falling and curving its direction to the right and the right side will be like a drop of water falling but in an upwards direction and curving to the left. In the center of the biggest parts of the drop-like halves, there'll be a circle. The right side will be black and the circle will be white and the left side will be white and the circle black.
Now the figure will be dressed (although it won't be distinguishable, it's just to help you will the appearance of the silhouette) in shirt and trousers. He'll have short hairs(very short, stylized in the spiky manner. This too is just to help you with the silhouette) and rounded ears(not too big). He is rather thin but tall.

Mods, support this contest please... I'd like to see how talented they are... ^_^ :god_help_us:

How bout you just make the background open to any idea? I think that might be a bit better.

Contests get support when I see that enough people want to participate, so far... I see none.

And making such a limited contest is not fun. Just make it a request.

I don't often check the forums, so sorry... Fine, use any idea and I'll turn the default to a request if you want. But I really want to see you all to work, drawing and painting backgrounds. :D

first when i saw that i thought we were free to do any kind of background... then it was restricted to a racial and after even the design was restricted, i may try but im not much of a warcrafish characters drawer

My only restriction was to warcraft characters and I only gave a suggestion. Now I removed that restriction and I want many people to participate. Come on, no one wants to?

Do you want a LOGO or a BACKGROUND? Those are two different things, but I assume you want a background wallpaper for your desktop, right?

I really said background, didn't I? And err, do people even look in the request forums? Anyone could do the default? If I don't get the contest, I'd at least like to have the default background.
