Description
This is my entry for the "Contest: Couples & Duos" held by =Cataclysm-X[link] (contest info)
This depicts the two sides of woman, as well as a balance between light and dark, life and death, confidence and mystery. They are two sides of one coin, as one cannot exist without the other.
The raven is a symbol of midnight and darkness, whilst the dove symbolizes virginity and innocence, as well as the light of day.

You have come SO FAR in such a short amount of time. Is it weird to tell you that I'm proud of you? Maybe I'll just you instead.
