Description Can there be good without evil? Love without hate? Are good and evil black and white terms? Can a person be one without the other, pure of heart or completely without compassion? Or, is there at least a small amount of darkness within the light or vice versa? Think on it.

Nice work! Great concept. I get that the angel (white) has some dark on her wing because you pose the question "is there at least a small amount of darkness within the light or vice versa?"  I don't see any white somewhere in the dark version. Since you said "or vice versa" I feel like you should have also included a little light in the dark version.

Great work either way, just a small bit of constructive criticism. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you I was very happy with how the light to dark worked out on the 'good' angel's wing, the effect turned out so nicely, I think, because of the original make-up of the white wings. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the black wings, over all, they lacked the contrast necessary for a good black to white transition. On a side note though, I wanted the image to feel like the 'good' angel was in some way trying to draw the 'dark' one back toward the good, but in the process couldn't help but find that darkness and freewill were seductive and has started to fall from true grace herself.

Lovely work... I think there can be both, I just dread the consequences of pure good or pure evil! They may even turn out to be the same thing.... Thanks for using my stock

It's nice... but one thing bothers me. The white angel's face does not look as real as the black angel's face. I suggest changing it. Other than that, it's good.

Thy-Darkest-Hour In reply to scryer41 [2013-10-01 02:25:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. That is the one thing that has bothered me as well and is STILL bothering me. I plan to revisit it asap, though what I'm going to do I have no idea. In this smaller version the face looks blotchy, but if you download it and see the biggest version it looks smooth and normal. So far, no matter the method I've tried this has remained the case, so I'm definately open to suggestions.

I opened it up and did a little more work on her face and added some extra texture, perhaps you could let me know if it appears any improved?

scryer41 In reply to Thy-Darkest-Hour [2013-10-02 21:35:44 +0000 UTC]

I'm not seeing much difference in the White angel's face. Did you use a layer for the dark angel's face?

Thy-Darkest-Hour In reply to scryer41 [2013-10-02 22:05:44 +0000 UTC]

No, nothing was really done to the dark angel's face. Part of the problem with the white angel was that the original image was pretty blurry.

scryer41 In reply to Thy-Darkest-Hour [2013-10-03 21:49:02 +0000 UTC]

I would suggest super imposing some other face over the white angel and see if it works that way.

No I saw that one, that one is not mine.. that one would be this one:frank-1956.deviantart.com/art/…
But what I'm talking about is this stock image of mine that was mentioned in the credits: briphotography2013.deviantart.…

But I think it looks really close to my image, the fire one.. it's actually better then my image and that's what I like to see.

No worries, I'm just happy that people are using my stock, I love to see what people create.

Wonderful entry, I love this and love the way that you used my stock fire photo, it's the best that I have seen so far for my flame sock .. well only the second that I have seen so far for my fire stock. BUT VERY nice use of it.. I'm just having an issue trying to find the bird that was used form my stock that you mentioned.. I am just not seeing him/her?
Anyways good luck with the contest!

Thy-Darkest-Hour In reply to PhotographsByBri [2013-09-30 19:45:12 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, I'm happy that you like it .


I had to do some re-shaping and erasing on the fire to make it fit just right to how I needed it to be, so its a bit away from what the original was.


Ah, the little bird... he is a bit difficult to find unless you know where to look. Its on the left-most upper point on the Dark Archway.


Now that dA is allowing me to upload images again (at least for now) I hope to upload the larger 9MB version of this image.


Thank you for the well wishes toward the contest
