It shows us what we've seen
A vision from beyond
no different than a vis...

I had a rougher version of this piece in color uploaded to the DB but I was worried about posting too many updates recently, so I sat on it until I had a chance to come back to this.

I took a second lap on this piece since after I made a couple of test prints. After getting some space from it (again), I was able to make some changes that I'm really happy with. Now, I'm going to be...

It seemed fitting, that after the close of the last chapter of Angelarium, that I would paint a doorway. Through this portal lies the realm of the angels.

I made two major changes since the last post, so I wanted to share them since I was saying before that I was sailing towards finalizing the painting.

Not much besides rendering now.
The main challenge for this piece was the composition. Without a central figure to moor the line of action, I didn't have a clear grasp on where to provide focus ...

I've known that this would be the last piece in the series for months, so I've spent more time considering how I want it to look than any other piece in the series. That's dangerous. If your a creativ...

The last of the Watchers series marks the end of an era for me. A set of 20 unique characters designed to subvert people's expectations about angels. To cap things off, I've been planning on cre...

Working on this guy has been intimidating. He is the king of the Watchers and the instigator of their tragedy.
Living up to what this piece needs to represent puts me in a tight spot. So many of...
