After 3 exhausting weeks, countless ideas and concepts and extra details it's finally complete!!! Muhahahahahaaaa!!!

When I hear the term "Good vs Evil" I think about Opposites and Balance, coz you can't have one without the other...
Along with the 'theory' of 'Good and Bad', I used things like Light and Dark, Masculinity and Femininity, Passive and Aggressive, Nurturing and Fierce: all these opposites reside in all living things.
Then I brought symbolism into the mix with the dove and crow, which represent Good omen and Bad omen respectively.
I used this kind of pose as a form of symbolism itself, the good and bad energy are separated from one another, yet the swords of the knights still clash, symbolising a never-ending battle between the two forces.
