Description
The battle between Good and Evil rages since the beginning of time and kills on both sides, but the energies involved in it are beautiful to the eyes of the unbiased Universe._
The text is adapted from a quote of John Keats (something I actually found in Dan Simmons' "Hyperion")
I don't remember it exactly, but it was about the energies involved in a street fight. The meaning, however, was close to what I just wrote.

It almost reminds me of Queen's album cover for "News Of The World", albeit the bleeding guy being held in the stone golem's hand has ( -in your image- ) beefed up considerably (probably from weight lifting or out of sheer determination to destroy the golem) and has decided to come back and wreak vengence upon said golem with the HUGE freakin mallet he is carrying in his right hand.
What goes around ... comes around. And the character above is obviously in "Payback" mode.
Queen's cover image for "News Of The World" can be viewed here for comparison's sake:

I know that album it has a wonderful cover

Yes ... quite classic.
I remember seeing it for the first time when I was around nine or ten years old. Found it made me feel slightly uneasy, yet at the same time, induced a childlike curiosity as to what the image represented.
Hence, the roundabout association with your image.
Maybe I'm projecting myself onto the character with the mallet ... going back to face my initial fears in the wake of having beheld the Queen cover in the first place. Who knows? Sigmund Freud or some other pyschoanalyst would have a field day in attempting to deduce a meaning from it based upon my reactions.
Take care Lucian,

chirnoaga al digitalului.

ambele personaje sunt desenate in creion intial si apoi am facut umbrele digital - mai mult la personajul cu ciocanul - primul e aproape integral traditional
si in final totul a fost imbinat digital, pentru ca erau doua desene din epoci mai diferite si a trebuit sa le unific cumva

i see now the prospectives of blending both enviroments

pana la urma toate sunt doar tools si trebuie sa stii cum sa le folosesti si unde
si daca iti si usureaza munca cu atat mai bine...

e greu sa lucrezi in mediu digital?
cu tableta grafica and the sort?
sunt diferenta la hasura, linie, expresivitate si alte technicalities?;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sunt diferente unele in bine (sa lucrezi cu layere, undo, creare de copii ca sa poti sa prelucrezi in feluri diferite) si altele in rau (nu e chiar real time pentru large brushes, nu au textura unei pensule reale...)
dar merita
de cele mai multe ori fac o schitza inainte in creion si abia apoi trec la colorat cu tableta desi poti face si schitza tot cu tableta pana la urma
e o chestie de obisnuinta pana la urma - iti ia ceva timp dar cand te obisnuiesti cat de cat e chiar fain

waw! ca sa zic asa

The story I get from this is that the big guy thinks the little guy can't possibly hurt him1. But the little guy advances with a heavy heart2, because he knows one hit from his hammer will shatter the big guy3, even though he doesn't really want to destroy him.
1Because of the size difference.
2...with a bowed head...
3Because of the size of the hammer.
So this really speaks to me - thanks!
