Description

***PLEASE READ***

Inspired in the ying yang concept. To see this better, cover with your hand half of the face, then the other, you'll see the change of expression.
Also, the lip's curve, was to make it look "surrealistic". We all know how the Ying Yang looks like([link]), so that's what I tried! :)

Epic concept (:
Its like the lighter and darker side of your personality. Im so glad that you told us to cover half of the face. I would never have understood it fully without that.

Another way to look at it is someone battling conscience. Like, the first thing I noticed with this was your mouth tilted like ':/' Undecided emotions wrestling one another.

Its a bit hard to see the white side of your eye shadow although I suppose you might've wanted it to be subtle like that. I think it could be brought out a bit more.

I also think it mightve been better if the shot was focused more around the head. The chest is a bit distracting.

But overall, this is a really significant shot that we can all, im sure, relate to. Keep up the amazing work <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
