Description I created this for this ImagineFx challenge
[link]

The theme was 'duality'

It took me like... hmm. 25 hours to make methinks. I think I buried some rods and cones in the making of this here image... gah. I need bionic eyes damnit!

Great work!! It's realistic, symbolic, harmonic, and reminds me of a tarot card. You paint wonderfully.

Ahhh...a balance like no other... A concept that it seems most people forget at the death of one close to them...

Yes, We are human, what we do best is forget death. We cannot live if we don't forget it!

Good interpretation of the concept of duality! She seems serene and confident in her state. The composition, the hays and the scythe remind me of Persephone and Demeter together, which would be quite fitting.

i am trying really hard to move away from my comfort zone, that is, things that are second-nature for me to draw, and putting a new challenge with every picture like in this one, wanted I pushes myself to add extra detail and reflection - in my eine kleine one, I wanted to achieve a degree of realism with the hands that I hadn't before.

Thanks Now I need to draw something with several people in it! I seem unable too.. everyone is alone in my pictures, or with their own reflection...
