I can't say who is the evil and who is the good. And this is, in my opinion, the biggest tour-de-force in the picture. It's one of the rare analizable images on this site.
The dark aura of this piece really does a good job of conveying a mood. The details in the skin and musculature are very impressive. Is this in oil or acryllic, or something else entirely. Through this one picture, it almost seems as if it conveying an entire very detailed story, and it really has a mysterious quality to it that makes me want to keep looking. You are an excellent artist and both you and this piece are now in my favorites. On to check out more of your work.
To me, one of the most important thing about an art piece is to create an atmosphere and you got it right. Amazing piece man!
Definitely has a semi-cubist, Chet Zar quality. My only problem was it took me a little while to realize the man with the knife being hoisted was actually suspended due to his lower foot being flat and his lower half blending in with the background, I might have pointed that foot down a bit and lightened the figure more to separate him from the background a bit more, especially since I believe he's an intended focal point. Otherwise one of the coolest submissions I've seen so far.

I am honored that my work reminds you of the work of Chet Zar, he is an incredible artist. I hope to be as good and as succesful as him one day. Thank you very much for the reply.
This is spectacular. Your sense of lighting is amazing and the subtle rim lighting on the boy is a very nice touch. Your coloring seems to evoke so much detail in that alone. One of the best pieces I've seen on the art portal yet! It's an honor to scout you. If you don't mind me asking, what contest was it? I'd like to know what the concept for this is. Pretty interesting.

Thank you very much for the reply. The contest was "Bring Your Vision to Life" over at Deviantart. The theme was good vs evil.
