My submission for the Good v. Evil Wacom Design Contest.

"What is the Face of Good? Of Evil? Where does one begin and the other end, and how can we tell one from the other?

Why morality may very well be absolute, we, with our limited understanding, can really on perspective."

I hope you enjoy this piece, and don't forget that it works at either orientation (viewer's preference)!

EDIT: An Issue has cropped up in the Comments, and I felt compelled to address it. Here goes:

I'm not sure if anyone is following the comments on my "Good v. Evil" entry, but I do feel compelled to tell those interested that I have been accused for plagiarism. I think it goes without stating (though I'll state it anyway) that I don't support plagiarism. It falls under the rubric of "unprofessional." This is obvious. However, I do know of and readily acknowledge parallel development and the pesky meddling of a person's subconscious. Indeed, it's one of the many pitfalls before any artist. Indeed, it's one of the reasons for testing out as many variations as circumstances permit to help avoid this.

I will not make excuses for my subconscious, and freely and publicly admit that my subconscious could very well have meddled, especially considering the time frame. Please don't take this and the following as bragging or me making excuses; I just want to explain my circumstances and let you judge for yourself. I did my entry in roughly a 16 hour block of time straight as I did not find out about this contest till quite late (I'm pretty bad with checking my messages) and only had a day or so to complete it. This was my time frame and as such, I did not leave myself the time to do proper variations at the get-go. This is my fault, period. I also did not leave myself the time to look at a proper amount of reference to better filter the dross from my mind. This is also my fault.

To cut to the bone as it were, I can only and sincerely state that it was not my intention to copy anyone, to plagiarize, to steal. Whatever did occur was accidental and without any ill intent, and though that may sound lame, it's the only truth I have to offer.

So, publicly, freely, and genuinely, I apologize to anyone I may have upset, hurt, and/or disappointed, and for what little solace it is worth, I hope you'll believe me when I say I had no wish to. This goes doubly for One-Vox as several posters have specifically mentioned his work in this matter.

Artists, wherever they are, are part of a "Community," and whether we want to or not, we are each responsible for taking as high a ground as we can. That's what makes a community work, and while we may not be at fault for something, if it involves our art, we are responsible. This issue concerns a piece of my art. I do not consider myself guilty as charged (I want this to be very clear), but this is my responsibility. As such, I want to make sure that I help to make it right.

Thanks for listening!
