Done for [pb-event] Opposites at [pixel brush] forums. I always wanted to paint this image, the event forced me to do it earlier than I would. Still it's not exactly what I saw in my mind, so I'll paint it again in the future.

Close up (I prefer it over the whole image):

Painted in Painter, final colour correction done in Photoshop.

Constructive critique welcomed.
