Description Heya! Here's something I did for a contest on another site. Tried posting under a new name but they instantly noticed haha.

Done in PS CS3 as usual, spent about a day on it, no references used as usual.

I spotted this a few months ago and smile when ever I see it. This is spectacular in terms of the composition and lighting. The dynamism just blows me away.

I love the determination on her face and the dynamic pose. You usually don't see Angels flying so close to the ground, so this image of one skimming it with her fingertips stands out.

The Sword and Armor look the same. Is the Angel fighting the "own" people?
Yeah always make me curious ...

Was this unused artwork for Archangel in Avacyn Restored or something? The sword in the foreground looks distinctly like that of Thalia, Guardian of Thraben.

Oh yeah, cyberlightstudio.com - "Penemue Awakens."
I used some different art that I got under license from Shutterstock but this piece was the original inspiration for the story.

Hello there! I think this is some beautiful work. When I first saw this picture, I was inspired to write a story around it. Would you consider giving me permission to post it. I'd certainly give credit and linkback any way you wish.

I love this!! I get a sense of shock along with the guy (I would presume it's a guy, but I very well could be wrong. who dropped his sword. I love the angle you drew this from! Unusual, but very effective! Has an "Oh snap!" feel and I love it!

Scarecrowlover [2013-01-10 02:06:14 +0000 UTC]

This is an amazing piece! Dynamic, intense and very believable, or at least as believable as an archangel can get. The action is very low to the ground and I really appreciate the dirt flying up. Its a nice little detail that makes the different between a good piece and an excellent piece.

chris-illustrator [2012-09-03 01:15:49 +0000 UTC]

Wow, great job. Love the composition and sense of motion.

My only criticism is all the little leafless shrubs kind of make the scale confusing. At first I thought they were dead trees and soldiers were huge. Then I saw the grass blades and figured I was mistaken. But if they are shrubs, they seem too tiny compared to the grass. And why are they dead while the grass is still green?

It's a small point, but just something to consider.

I love how you did the hair and the feathers. It looks like parts of individual strands are catching the sunlight, like they do in real life.

Amazing work. The Pose and scene composition are fantastic. Would you mind If I made a tribal design with pose? All well referenced and credited, no profit intended.

Have you thought about posting a few tutorials on your digital work? I think a lot of fledgling artists out there (me, lol) would benefit greatly from it. I mean I don't even really know where to begin when I wonder how you made such a beautiful piece.
