"Battle Of Mind" by Vilde D. Ulriksen

Thoughts, thoughts, happy thoughts
Thoughts, thoughts of sorrow and grief
Thoughts of anger
Thoughts of joy
Hope
Doubt
Courage
Fear
Fighting feelings
Which will win?

This is my entry for DeviantArt and Wacom's contest: "Good vs. Evil - Bring Your Vision To Life"

In the novel Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie explains Tinker Bell's sometimes mean actions with that fairies are so small, that it prevents them from holding more than one feeling at the time. That's what inspired me. Of course, this fairy is not so small, but she can't hold more than one feeling. The special thing about this fairy species, anyhow, is that the light and darkness of their feelings are so strong, that you can actually se the battle between them going on in their heads, as light and dark.
   Too, this is not your typical kind of fairy, is it? I wanted to turn everything a bit upside down, making the happy, adorable fairies more... Not so adorable. I also wanted to illustrate how there aren't such things as plain evil people, but always a fight between your feelings. It's the actions of a person that makes him/her bad, like it's saud in Harry Potter.

By the way, the proportions are supposed to be faerie, not human, so it can might look a bit odd to you ;)
