D U A L I T Y

I finished this one last month...but these days I edited it a little, so now I posted it here. At first I drew it with colors, but colors were almost black and white (a little blue and green), so I decided to add a little colors on other layers...and now it looks like this. I always have pretty colorful pieces, so I couldn't leave it so colorless. I used two styles here... one was like at Cloud Strife and another one was more artistic, like at The Way I Feel. I wanted to see how they look mixed together.

On the image are both characters one the same person... you can read character info below if you want to know more about him. And again I drew roses and butterflies... ah, I can't help myself. But for the first time I drew chain link fence... yay I wanted to make "good" and "evil" theme this time.

Something about him: His name is Kyle and he have dual personality. When he gets angry, then he changes in evil, awful person... he gets black hair and his eyes changes to red. He would hurt even people who knows, because when he transforms, he don't remember what he did. But normally he's a nice guy and he have short white hair, light blue eyes and tattoo on his face and neck. He have similar hair as our other character Angel on this lineart.

And awesome sarraa16 wrote a poem inspired by this piece, you can read it below. Thank you

The contrast is killing my soul,
shredding it and spreading it into the unworldly oblivion
I'm a happy-go-getter
With eyes for the sky...
But Sometimes I can't remember why red takes over
and my friends come the next day pained.
We laugh it off, as usual
but at night, the black and red
Come haunting and taunting until I fade away...

I hope you like it and comments are welcome
