alpha: Michael the Archangel

Thank you "Bleak Lead", I'm glad you were able to see the angel's true strength, dispite the wings being in the way, good eyes...

Awesome Picture. So glad to se an angel that finally isn't feminine. Your Artwork is truly professional.

Just trying something different...I'm glad you approve!

Oh you are really great at making lovely artwork! His hair is my favorite part! My bestfriend's comformation sain is St. Micheal.

That's so good to hear! I really make a conscious effort to break away from sterio type images, by not repeating what everyone else has done in the past! This method doesn't go over too well with people with one track minds... So I'm really glad that you can view my myth depictions, outside man made boundaries... Thank you!

I like your depiction of him- it's so different from what you would often see him look like in art. Nice job, I love the wings and the sword.

Base on extensive angelic research, there are no specific criterias concerning the color of an angel's wings (unless your commercializing)... So I chose to contrive what I felt suited this depiction! Thank you for your comment and interest...

He Looks very peaceful & Happy i like the wings to The colors..Suit him well but why Use Green?

its and incredible picture though

Goodwork *favs*

That's what makes the whole concept of spiritual beings so fascinating, let your own interpretation be guided by your inner spirit...

I always pictured him with red wings, for some reason, but it's good all the same... I guess different people have different opinions of things, so I really can't say anything.

Thank you for your comments... I would advise all that no matter the field of work... Sometimes it would seem that the more one does, the more is expected of them... But the idea behind art is to open up the imagination of all and motivate others to further expand the horizons of creativity and explore new technics and styles, I would advise promising students and even novices to break the rules, because there are no boundaries on the palet of imagination...

Interesting.<br />

I like the details on the armour, and wish I could see his chestplate and bracers behind those wings. The wings themselves looks fairly decent as wings, but lack the definition in the primaries that one would expect of a "large bird". The head, also, looks a little small. Though I do like the pose he's in -- usually angels are restricted to purely action poses, smiting demons and all that. It's nice to see a "relaxed" pose.

oo..I love the hair and the sword!
