heheh I crammed in like hell last night to submit it perfectly in time...

we each hold a nature of good and a nature of evil within ourselves... they each influence our way of thinking, of seeing, of acting... we may hear them both but the only thing that matters is which we listen to... for it holds our doom...

I used this more symmetrical format in order to stress the fact that we are each a free moral agent and that each side-so to speak-is striving to get our attention in order to influence our lives and choices, not because one is better than the other necessarily... the sword and circle above symbolizes doom as in fate (not necessarily death) and eternity as it is usually the smallest choices that have the farthest reaching repercussions which we cannot change...

I hated this piece while painting it...I just couldn't see it forming right, and seriously wished that I had chosen something less complex... I was quite stressed about it...but then I stopped worrying and started trusting god... about the picture, about the whole contest... I prayed and then it just clicked... and why not? after all he was the one who gave me the inspiration in the first place... so isn't it only right that he finish what he started? sometime during the auras it happened and I had the peace that the image was coming together and it would all work out fine... and it did... I don't really care too much if I win or not(okay, well maybe a little bit) but what was important to me beyond the act of creation... was the way that heaven came through for me when I needed it, and that is something that I will never forget... and may be worth more than any prize...
