edit 5/27/11
it's been a year since i've uploaded this piece; it's somewhat disheartening to see it floating around on the internet and being used without my permission. I know it's kind of expected but please let me know if you see it without my name/link attached. Thanks!
-------------------------------------------------------

I did this piece last year as a school assignment to "personify two opposite concepts" (e.g. night and day, love and hate, etc)

While its arguable for people to fight for the sake of peace, I think that war itself can never bring true peace. War, in the form of a mutilated young man merged with weapons of mass destruction and spewing toxic waste as it passes, justifies itself as the protector of Peace (giving flower to her), but in actuality wherever he steps, Peace is inevitably destroyed.

...and yes, I got the "heartless" (heart falling out) idea from Russia orz

I think if I try to explain this image further it'll just ruin the concept X'D so see it however you want to.
Šjin, do not use/redistribute without my permission please

First off, The piece is wonderful. It completely grabbed my attention. Second, the title is perfect. I get annoyed when people get more deep with the title then with the actual work of art its self. I think Its beyond original and the detail gives it the perfect effect to make it so wonderful. True the idea of war vs. love is very simplistic, but how you presented it is on a whole new level of its own. And your technical skill is also something to brag about. I love it and am very jealous that I didn't think of something unique like this.
What do you think?

My biggest comment is on the color contrast. This is probably the best black and white contrast I've ever seen in a drawing. Not many people may notice, but the light and dark blends so well together. At first I didn't notice it, but when you hold the computer far away you see such a difference on the opposing sides. It's like two different drawings got melted into each other. Death and life, hope and despair, love and hate, kindness and cruelty. The color contrast made the piece work... without it the product wouldn't be as powerful. It was a little "already been done" but I think that is okay, all because of your technique and presence within the drawing... good job.
