Description
For all the people trying to inform me that I drew a peace symbol for an illustration of hate. I shall now educate you.1. yes the ORIGINAL symbol represented peace. It can be found over any number of buddhist temples and the such. [link]
2. I am very much aware Hitler stole the symbol...and it is now sorely more recognized as the nazi symbol. [link]
so please...please...do not assume I had no idea this symbol was stolen. Even so the image was inspired by the pollution of two children influenced heavily by neo nazi's in their life.
"Hate Is Contageous. Its a disease that poisons and corrupts the soul. Innocence lost, our children are listening"
Thats is whats written over and over in the background. I want to let you all know that this is in no way intended to be a racially offensive artwork but rather intended to make a statement of how our hatred and ideals are passed on to our children.
I personally think this image is better suited to conceptual than manga/anime simply because its more about the statement in the image than the style its drawn in. To this day I wish there was a category for social issues, but there isn't...so I will place it here instead.
I drew this after seeing an interview on television with a band named Prussian blue. It consists of two twin girls, very young (at the time I drew it), very innocent looking, with a soft sweet sound to their music, until you listen to the lyrics. Brought up by a white supremecist mother and grandfather the girls were raised to believe blacks were not human...therefore don't have souls the same as them...which is where the phrase on the girl's scarf "he died for me, not you" came from.
Watching these girls broke my heart to realize that two girls that look innocent on the outside are so corrupted by their caretakers ideals...and it made me want to cry.
The characters in this image are both to a degree intended to be children, and siblings, the boy older and farther along in his path to corruption, but the girl vastly unaware of the degree of wrongness in her holding such a doll in her hands. Spatterred with blood textures in the background to show that only pain and negative results come from such opinions.

NOTE: anyone who wishes to use this for spreading ANTI hate messages or for reports and the such, I grant permission...however you HAVE to credit me as the artist and let me KNOW before you use it.

Wow. This is great. I've got a weakness for art with a message, and this totally exploits that.
I think your message would have gotten across even without a comment, but it's still good you had it.
The expressions, the words, lettering, and colours are all great.
This is seriously an awesome piece of work.

the sad part is last time I uploaded this (on my old account) so many people took a quick glance at the picture and left comments like "ZOMG KAWAII"

Ugh. That's really inconsiderate.
When someone takes the time to put feeling behind the art, and try to convey a message, it just makes it that much better.
People should really think before they comment, or at least really take a look at the work.
