The Inner Struggle

READ DESCRIPTION PLEASE!

Hey guys

this is my entry for the good vs evil contest.
With this image I wanted to portray the inner struggle between good versus evil, also called "the heart of darkness". I chose this subject as it's a very personal matter to me. Lately I've been struggling with whether to try finding a job which pays well and so gives me an opportunity to build up a decent, stable life (the fancy jacket), or to try finding a job with my passion: drawing (the heart). Which would mean a very uncertain life.
This explains why I didn't go for a "heart of darkness" because I'm still struggling with which one is good and which one is evil.

I used a puzzle of references in this one for the linedrawing, but not for the rendering. It's all started from scratch in Photoshop.

Comments and favs are appreciated!

With all respect, but I would prefer not getting comments about my personal struggle. Please only comment on the painting
