SF&F Picture 1 out of 38 by Ashley Stoddard.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Child's Death

inspired, by all things, by a line from Barbara Kingsolver's poem 'Waiting for the Invasion' (no offense to her - good writer, just never thought a picture like this could come from her writing) 'Every child has waited for death angels'
He glares at you as he gently picks the limp body up in his arms, her blood staining his white robes, a slowly dripping river of accusations. His form fades into the smoke, his part done as Death for the children.

3 Jan 2003	Lykele w. Muus	Loading... Wonderful! The thing that makes this one so scary to some is the brilliant colouring. Cause of the hair and the blood the rest is far mysterious than what's really happening, I love that.
29 Jan 2003	Kiota Bandal	Loading... This is so beautiful... and scary. I really like the look in his (her?) eyes, the coloring and the shadin of the robe.
24 Feb 2003	Shykara	Loading... Wow, this is really powerful and it strikes the heart. Of course, I'm not a mother, and I haven't lost a sibling or relative, but after seeing children on tv who are killed by murdering rapists, or children killed in war, this picture is actually somewhat comforting. It's a comforting thought to know that there is something there to hold them and comfort them after they go through so much pain.
4 Sep 2003	Lindzi Smith	Loading... Tis is such a beautiful picture, it truely is. would you have any objections if i were to use it in a tour im thinking of doing? please let me know if you do!
25 Oct 2003	Emily Mackay	Loading... I think this picture is totaly awsome! Really good. The look in the face of the face of the angel is almost exactly like that of a greiving mother. It has an awful sense of anguish surrounding it. To me this picture shows what mankind is, death. I would love to have this up on my wall!
15 Jul 2004	Azrael Nightstar	Loading... This piece is absolutely gorgeous, and very moving. I love the expression on the angel's face, looking at the viewer as if to say, "How could you let this happen?". Beautiful. I actually came across this piece quite a while ago, but recently lost the link. I've been looking for it for days, and am very glad I found it again. Keep up the excellent work!
6 Oct 2004	Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel)	Loading... Wonderful! This picture is very intense. You got that gaze and the pose and the composition all perfect! goes back to stare at it some more time
16 Aug 2005	Seeker	Loading... Gave me complete chills and then all over again after I read the blog. A wonderfully poingant piece with complete clarity of intent and emotion.
2 Mar 2008	Marie Aggerbeck	Loading... Beautiful
