(Re-uploaded the same image, with the background colors smoothed out, rather than just raw grainy ugliness)

I spent hours on this one. Hours of thinking, and planning, and plotting and drawing, and erasing and re-drawing, and planning the colors and waiting til i had another good set of quality pencil crayons to do good point-work without breaking at the slightest contact (prismacolor completely sucks!!! ** edit: at the time i had prismacolor pencil crayons that sucked, but now i use them all the time), and finally coloring all of the little tedious tidbits and details.

It is Evil and Good combined. It is what we all are, for we can't have our Light without our Dark. To be an opposite, one must be the same. Such as is mentioned in 'The Farthest Shore', the 3rd book in Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea series: the back of the hand is much the same as the palm of the hand, yet are completely different. Always as one with each other, but separate.
It is a crowning achievement, i believe. I spent a lot of time and effort on this.

I still didn't get the quality type pencil crayons (or 'colored pencils' ... i'll never get used to that term, i've always grown up having them called 'pencil crayons' and that's what they eternally shall be!) that i wanted.  I got Derwent's. They were strong enough, but they didn't color on as smoothly as my Pro Art ones ... as can be seen in the red skin with that weirdly grainy black shading (all of that was the pencils' faults ... but it does seem to be a neat effect, as well ... so i'm forgiving it ... for now). They are watercolor pencils, which i don't know what difference they make ... maybe it's a characteristic that they color kinda 'clumpily', not allowing another color to shade smoothly on top like the Pro Art ones (**edit, but later i purchased a package of regular Derwent pencils, and they were just as clumpy and unreliable). And the paper i use is quite smooth, not grainy. I don't like grainy. I am still dying to find some really GOOD, STRONG-LEADED pencil crayons, ** edit: I've had Prismacolors redeemed in my mind ... sometimes they still break annoyingly with every sharpen, but most of them don't, which surprised me, and made me take back the nasty things i said about them ... but Pro Art is still sky-high quality in comparison ...

But anyway, please let me know what you think!!

I think this is my favourite so far!! I agree with whoever said that its good shes not split straight down the middle. It makes her more interesting that shes all mixed up. I love the halo being half on fire hehehe. I really like the wings too. Ah alright I like everything about it! 1

:-) Nick P. ´LimeGreenSquid´ Marton replies: "Hehe, aww, well thank you very much. I put a lot of thought and time into her to make all the little details just right!"

(what i especially like is how the good and evil yin yangs through her- not one side this and the other that)

I think the hard work paid off- she's a beautiful representation of good and evil and the detail is amazing

This is wonderful! I love the good and evil are mixed, especially with the eyes. Just wonderful.

:-) Nick P. ´LimeGreenSquid´ Marton replies: "Aw, thank you very much. I definitely wanted to try something different with that - mixing rather than purely half’n’half. I’m glad you appreciate it! "

I like it except I would add shading under the chin,arms and in the groin area, graduate the shading.
The concept is amazing as well as the layout but it needs more shading to show depth which will give it more punch and make it more 3 dimensional way to go!!!!

:-) Nick P. ´LimeGreenSquid´ Marton replies: "Thank you very much! Yah, i was trying new pencils and they didn’t shade so well. If i’d have been able to use Prismacolors for this image the shading would have been better for sure. "
