Evil Twin

Had this idea floating around in my head for a while. 



Seems like Merlin has a slight problem ...

And because I can't leave things alone, here's a darken up version.



I'm torn.  On one hand I like the original paper color and lines, but the darkness in the second is just so darn powerful.
Do you guys like one over the other?

Also at my DA.

It's always nice to have variations to compare. Everyone has different preferences after all.

I wrote a story last summer, Allegiance to Camelot, that had a storyline dealing with the frustration that a copy of Merlin felt at being separated from his original. And I thought after seeing your pictures, that the copy of Merlin could be the evil twin. He feels a closeness to his original that could grow into something darker and unpleasant (i.e. stalkerish tendencies). I had been considering exploring that further in a sequel - it's just a matter of how dark I'd be okay with taking it. ;)

Ooo, that sounds really cool.
