Penemue, Angel of the Written Word
What hath been wrought
Across the fiery hilltop
These sculptures of men
Whose names the Angels forgot
Penemue - WiP 3
As elements of this piece solidify, I'm working in some more details. Adding symbols and jewelry into the figure should give it a bit more of a lived in feel. I want the create a sense of a larger wor...

Continuing with the new design for Penemue. This version is more focused on my personal association with writing. There is a shamanistic quality to it that I felt was essential to include.
I'm t...

A while back I had commissioned another artist to illustrate Penemue as an experiment. At the time, it seemed like a good idea to mix in other people's concepts into the project by getting multiple co...

Making Angelarium better
With the year wrapping up I'm thinking a lot about how to make this project the best it can be. I've made a 2 question survey that's designed to help me make the Angelarium patreon campaign better.
Samshiel, Angel of the Eclipse
The sun shines bold
Upon our fair grove
Until the shadow comes
To eat it all whole

I'm pushing further and further into making this piece more full and rich. It's been very relaxing and fun to work on. With less pressure to finish this piece towards the end of the month, it's much e...

I'm switching up my workflow a bit this time. I'm working out some of the rendering in advance of sorting out the color palette. Instead, I'm relying on a very simple 2 tone palette with the hope that...

This angel is going to be representing the eclipse. The themes of power being overshadowed and stifled will dominate the painting.

Zaqiel - WiP 4
The home stretch.
The golds were speaking to me, so I leaned into them, pushing out the last of the pale blues. It's later in the process than I usually shift the palette, but it felt necessary....

Gold. Everybody loves gold.
Playing the gold off the red was an experiment I wanted to make before I pinned down the approach to this piece. I honestly thought I would probably keep the pale blu...

The quotes to some classical art is pretty clear.
The color is a throwback to my days working on the World of Darkness MMO. I saw the new Bloodborne content using the same palette and I wanted t...

This is going to be a fun one to paint!
I'm looking forward to doing something a little darker this time around. The angel of purity is a pretty ironic title for a figure that is anything but.&n...

Tamiel - WiP 3
This is the point where I can confidently say that this painting is coming together.
It's always scary because I both need to finish these paintings on a deadline and they are going to represent...

So, this was a color scheme that I've been meaning to play with for a while and now that I want to rebel against the super dark and black scheme I used on Baraqiel, it's time to give it a go.
Th...

Tamiel has a lot of themes behind him. Perfection, hidden power, deadly strikes. Under them all is the quality of being unseen. So, since the Watchers have all of their properties be their downfall, T...

Don’t touch me
You fiend, you terror
Not for one moment
You’ve moved my mind
You’ve stopped my heart
You fiend, you terror
I want you to touch me again
Baraqiel - WiP 2
This is a piece that was mostly fully formed in my mind before I started working on it. That's a situation that I normally warn aspiring artists against because our minds are exceptional at tricking u...
