When I first saw the theme "Good vs Evil" I thought of angels/devils, white/black, yin/yang and so on but I guess that would've made me loose the "originality" points on the spot lol ... so I moved on to something you always hear when parents try to justify their actions to their kids: "This is what's good for you", "I only want what's good for you" or "I'm doing this for your own good" and though these phrases are often spoken from the heart, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
This picture is symbolic, it can be interpreted in several ways.
Done for a contest on deviantart (unfortunately, it didn't get picked as one of the 50 semifinalists)

I think you should have won. Not only did you do this beautifully, your idea is original, and it's easy for people to relate. It really has the human element.
You're a winner in my eyes.

The concept is excellent and beautifully executed, and your pencil skills are AMAZING.
Great work!
Not knowing the contest or having seen the other entries, I'd have to say that either they're INSANELY good or the person who picked the semifinalists has no eye for talent.

It's so sad.
It's very well done in my opinion.
Jaxxy Says:
holy fucking wow.....I love it, but the symbolism is so depressing. It blows my mind that you didn't get picked as a finalist. DA, those fucks...
