Description
And finally! This is the complete work joined in a form of a (hypothetical) 2-cover book sleeve. The spine of the book will be where the title is positioned. It illustrates the two perspectives of this well-known philosophical question.I chose the ambient lights of the two images to be red and green and the direction of the figures opposite, in order to express better the opposition. Also, much attention has been paid to the figures' expressions.
This is most detailed and time-consuming work I've done to date, and it took me several days to finish it. Everything was painted from scratch in Photoshop, no refs/textures/photos/models were used.
I hope you like it!

That's because Demonesses rules! Plus leathery wings have much better aerodynamic and they easy to clean.
But hell=heaven=bad, so place named parallel universe rules!

Your depiction of being a servant in heaven is totally obscured. I count it a great joy to be able to serve my God. Are you are promoting Hell instead of Jesus Christ our Lord?

That's because you interpreted this image literally, so you're missing the point.
This is an old philosophical dilemma that applies to many everyday situations (ie. do you prefer being an employee on a huge company with a great salary, or run your own small business and have a low income; things like that).
So it has nothing to do with religion.

An amazing piece of work, with basically nothing I can see wrong. Even the details are quite well done. Great job

as i use in my signature
"Here we may reign secure, and in my choice
To reign is worth ambition, though in hell:
Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven." -John Milton, Paradise Lost, 1667

To quote something Satan says in Paradise Lost in such a way could mislead people into believeing it's a personal quote of John Milton's.

I just want to say one thing...of all the people here who say they'd rather rule in hell...which one gets to rule? Because you all can't rule. Someone always serves.

Too proud to serve, too sloth to rule.
Guess i'm stuck here with the humans then.
sigh
