SciFi and Fantasy Art: Angel of mercy

It has a beautiful composition and great feeling...love this one (btw-the writing isn't Latin'm pretty sure that a)it means what you think it means b)it is Italian (Dante was)

ha ha! DANTE, that's my name! ^_^ Anyway, um... looks uh.. depressing! i like it, tho (great cloud)

wooooh, lovely pic ^_^ incidentally i study latin and those words are more italian or spanish sounding. eternity is latin is 'eternitatae' (if i splet that right), i is 'ego' and i have no idea what endure is but in that context it probably involves some hideous grammar getting rid of the need for a separate word for i (latin's like that)
BUT STILL a very good picture (and the words get the meaning across anyway)

its italian not latin, just thought you would want to know.
there are many different translations of hells gate. this is my fave,

THE gateway to the city of Doom. Through me
The entrance to the Everlasting Pain.
The Gateway of the Lost. The Eternal Three
Justice impelled to build me. Here ye see
Wisdom Supreme at work, and Primal Power,
And Love Supernal in their dawnless day.
Ere from their thought creation rose in flower
Eternal first were all things fixed as they.
Of Increate Power infinite formed am I
That deathless as themselves I do not die.
Justice divine has weighed: the doom is clear.
all hope renounce, ye lost, who enter here.

love the pic though =)

I wish i could draw like that there very good i like all ur drawings im into evil things n stuff like that i brought my 4 year old cousin to look at them 2 days ago and now he wont leave the computer he love them so much Thanx for the of lookin at a great artist

Purrrrrrrrrrrr

I absolutely love this pic! I only wish that I could get a closer look at the face but either than that its great!

Awesome! Love the style

Hi! Great picture! Now, I'm not very fluent in any other language other than English, but I took enough spanish to fake it. I believe it says, "I endure eternally/forever." It makes since when put in context with the picture. Mercy endures forever or the cross endures forever, either/or. Anyway, enough rambling. Keep up the good work!

Yes, the words are Italian
