Justice is using authority to give a fair decree,
But intended death to a being doesn’t seem fair to me.
Revenge is to satisfy in retaliation,
But death’s your one hit wonder, one satisfaction.
So I will always choose the criminals to defend,
Leaving you with your decision: justice or revenge?

------------------------------

Justice or Revenge? These men flutter back and forth through both.

When does Justice become Vengeance?

This picture is intended to illustrate the rage Justice/Anders causes unleashing Sebastian Vael's desire for Vengeance.

I drew only one, but edited both of my drawings to illustrate separate characters. The originals I created are here.

Anders: [link]

Sebastian: [link]

Also, Thank you to :iconjakface: for tipping me about mixing up light layers :la:

There is a middle ground know as retribution.

That is basically Justice, Don.

Justice is an altruistic ideal. Someone will step forward and commit and act they deem just because the act needs to be done.

Retribution is more personal where you are committing an act of justice, but for your own personal reasons {in some cases for revenge}.

Retribution is punishment considered moral or righteously deserved. Justice is defined as the quality of being fair and reasonable. Vengeance is defined as punishment inflicted or retribution exacted for an injury or wrong.

Don, stop posting on my DA. Seriously.

So pretty! I love it! And, of course, I had to :+fav: the original two pictures because they're both equally gorgeous.

This is impressive! And the first time I have the feeling that someone is also understanding Sebastians reaction at the end of the game. Most people I talk to can't understand why he claims vengeance and tell him a hypocrite as he is so faithful beforehand...
Anyway: Really, really well done!!

Sebastian to me still feels like he has the mind of a boy. He's so quick to turn on his emotions. It reminds me of Alistair being upset depending on if you sacrifice someone during Arl Eamon's quest in Redcliffe. Anger at the situation and how it affected him rather than the actual consequences.
