_{...about the flip side of the coin}

How's that for a thanksgiving giftie? lol
Actually, it has nothing to do with thanksgiving, I just couldn't wait to upload it.
But we'll explain that bit later...

Right now, I tell you about the vundeba creatures in the image. Each, when viewed at first glance, is not what it appears to be (and since I'm about to start rambling, I'll have you know that the wolf is a guy, the panther creature is a girl). Because the wolf is surrounded by "darkness", so to speak, the world doesn't trust him, he's something to be feared and hated.
But because the panther is "living in the light", everyone trusts her and believes she's all goody goody. (The wings on their shoulders play into this, it's the image put on them by the world, angel, and demon)

But what most people don't realize is that just because you're living in the darkness, you aren't a part of the darkness, and vice versa.

The panther is made mostly of darkness, hate, anger, and fear.
The wolf is made of love, respect, kindness, and bravery.

Of course, no one realizes this until they look very closely, even though it's blatantly obvious (that's why their fur is mainly those colours).

And when they fight, you'd better get out of the way XD

'Course, doesn't that lead you to wonder...who started the fight this time?
(If you feel like asking any questions, go ahead, you know I'm nuts about comments )
