Description Pencil. 9x12". Based on a photo by
(Thanks for letting me use it! )

This is an allegorical drawing, the way I see essence of every human being. Every one of us is both good and evil, which is why I consider heaven or hell to be highly unlikely. Every one of us deserves to go to both. However, I don't deny the presence of some sort of higher power, up there somewhere, pulling our strings...

The shading, the tones, the blends....it's amazing. Almost as if it were a b/w photo

I love the pict, there is no doubt ont that but i would like to give some imput about some flaws on it if you dont mind ^^

well this is not very important but the guy looks like a chick, another thing: his nose looks a little skewed.. maybe its because of the highligh and how its placed, also his jaw looks uneven i think because of the shadow on the right side.

The abdominal section also looks odd to me.. but that could be just me.

The other things i just love, this is such a great mix of fantasy and realistic characters... you made and awsome job
