Raziel - Series 1

Here's the original piece that I created back in 2005.

It was the last of the angels for series 1 and stuck around as a part of my portfolio for a long time. I saved Raziel for the end of series 3 because I wanted to end it on a high note again. Relying on a conventional depiction of angelic mystery and grandeur is not something that I plan to do very often for this project, so I want to make sure that it's being used in the most important places.


After I finish the new version of Raziel, I'm going to be compiling a collection of comparisons between all of series 1 and series 3. They exist almost 10 years apart, but all the characters are all the same. 


It's been really interesting to spend the past few months reaching back to a formative time in my life. It's allowed me to trace a line from that point up to now and see how my tastes and habits lead me to this point. Even still, it's hard to know what comes next. The only thing I've learned is that it's going to be unexpected.

This is awesome. I honestly dont know which I prefer more, this one or the most recent one. They are both absolutely stunning

I look forward to the comparisons! This piece is interesting as a contrast to the more recent stuff. It still feels like yours and still communicates those ineffable vibes. I am curious if you are a fan of Five Star Stories or Mamoru Nagano's work in general since this particular work's costume design makes me think that Raziel would easily fit in if he were wandering around FSS's world. If you haven't seen/read it yet then you might enjoy it, though since this art is 10 years old now I'm not sure if your tastes have moved away from this sort of look.
