26 - Asymmetrical Balance

Asymmetrical balance is a tricky subject. Nonetheless, asymmetrical balance can be quantified. Mostly it has to do with equal parts but not the same size. A pound of feathers and a pound of lead weigh the same but they look completely different.

This image from an issue of an older Ghost Rider is my example of Asymmetrical balance. The image of Ghost Rider crumpled with a spear in him are seemingly alone and asymmetrical with the rest of the piece. The only thing to provide a bit of balance is the long spear stuck out of him.
