Description
The strictest PhariseeThe brightest star
The most righteous amongst all creation
Eyes filled with the faults of man
So that he is blinded to his own.
How can he see the splinter in man's eye
When he has a plank in his?
Unseeing, he will fall soon.
If only he could stop peeling back
The wounds of man's sin
And exposing them to more filth
To prove humanity's lack of worth.
When can he forgive? Why can't he?
For to whom much has been forgiven must forgive in turn
But those who fail to do so
Are condemned to pain and loneliness.
He knows this; he must know. It has been written.
Why then can't he see?

Digital Illustration final project. I can now say without irony or exaggeration that the devil made my computer freeze.
Have fun picking out the Biblical events in the film strip; one is very loosely interpreted. If you want to cheat, the sketches are here: [link]

WOW. I mean...seriously. Wow. This is an *amazing* piece - everything about it is just fascinating to look at, and I love (LOVE) the idea of the film strip trailing out behind...and the wing is amazing. The transition from your classic angel's wing to the more demonic one is very nice, and I like the fact that the demonic portion of it isn't so much your typical bat wing you usually see, but more like...rot. It's really amazing.

Definitely one of my favorite angels 
Sorry, the writer in me wants to play devil's advocate (no pun intended).

Technically, a being named Lucifer doesn't exist...that was actually in reference to the king of Babylon. There is an adversary/satan though, but it's not quite clear whether he's an angel or not, though he has angels. I just keep the name Lucifer in my writing since it's as good a name as any.
He is fun to write, though, because he's this great big ball of loyalty and angst and assholery. I really need to work on the other guys.

Fantastic job! All around lovely work on the composition, textures, message.
I'm convinced that printers are the spawn of the devil, and by relation, scanners are evil as well... and since computers run the whole thing, they are obviously teh ebil.

Just don't venture down the path that leads to Kinkos...
And they always know when what they're printing is most needed, and breakdown or explode to correspond to the level of importance...

Augh, I hate Kinko's. much too expensive for blah prints.

wooow! this drawing is amazing! *__*I love the use of colors and textures you used. The film strip is a good idea and is nicely done ^^ But my fav part is the wing, and how it turns into a bat/demon one
