Description EDIT* Changed the disposition of the text a little. yay.

-----------------------------------------------------------

When I first heard about this contest and it's theme I really did not want to do a 'cliche'd' entry (yinyang, black/white, angels/demons, etc), so I spent days figuring out what ''good vs. evil'' really meant to me.

The only way I found to do so, was to imagine how do WE, average people, deal with what we consider good and what we consider to be evil, on a day-to-day basis.

I work with paint/brushes/etc everyday, so I couldnt find any other way to express it than with smudges and splatters. Somehow, it suits the theme, I believe.

And speaking about colors and paint, if you ask me, Im much more of a 'shades of gray' kind of person. Nothing is entirely white, and nothing is all black. To believe so is just naive, and I think it's better to accept both good things and bad about not just yourself and others, but also about all things in life.

For me, the only VERSUS between Good and Evil are us. We are the ones who decide to confront these two, and choose a side, instead of just accepting them as opposites and letting them compensate one another. White wouldn't be so without black, and black wouldnt exist without white.

So this is what this piece is all about. If you look closely, it can be read both ways, either:

'I'm the Yin to your Yang' or ' Im the Yang to your Yin'

That's what Im trying to get across here. We all need to find our balance somehow. Wether it is by finding our Yin if we have too much Yang or viceversa, only you can know.

In any case, if you like my work please help me voting for it by adding it to your favourites. It will be deeply appreciated!

Its very sad, that ppl on dA are only attracted by your manga stuff. It took me a while to see that theres "Yin" and "Yang" written, so wow...I really like it. I'm gonna fav it. I comment it. I sleep in my be-...okay. Its really good.

Bien, algo que no es una comission 8D
/trolling light

Seré breve porque el tocho ya lo has escrito tú.
Me gustan lo grises + el azul ese (turquesa? ehm...)
Adoro las expresiones de los moquillos esos perooo...no soy muy fan de la distribución de las letras, en concreto no me gusta que la "m" quede cubierta :/
Tal vez el "I'm" debería estar encajado de la misma forma que el "to your" en ese hueco que le queda. Aunque se formaría un espacio bastante grande donde el "the"..........qué cosas.

Resumiendo, que mola, pero podría molar más (-8
(bueno, es mi opinión, la última palabra es tuya)

Fue el problema que tuve con la distribución lo que más retrasó el cartel xD
Probé varias maneras, y la verdad es que asi me pareció que tenía más sentido, las otras eran horribles

Pero me alegro que te guste, la verdad es que no me es fácil hacer que algo personal guste, no se porqué.

Por cierto, el año que viene, Elisava. jajaja

Mejor así, es más coherente que antes~
Ya que soy partícipe de esta obra, le doy un fav. No es por ti, es por mi 8D

Pues a mi me gusta ver las cosas que hace la gente porque le gustan, dicen mucho de su personalidad :/ Y mira que me gusta el manga, pero a veces creo que debería arder sólo por el tipo de público al que suele atraer... Así que no te frustres demasiado por si gusta lo que haces o no, por lo menos no en dA.

Lo de Elisava...te has decidido de verdad o es por picarme? xD Si necesitas consejo, ya sabes, ando por aquí.

A ver, el manga me gusta, pero tengo otras pasiones y talentos
Pero lo decía porque cuando haces algo que es 'muy' personal la gente no suele entenderlo, aunque lo expliques con un parrafote.

gracias por el fav, no te las doy por tí, es por mi (D

Y lo de Elisava va enserio, bueno, todavía necesito que me cojan xD, pero esta todo listo. Fuí el otro día a las puertas abiertas.
