In my world, Michael is depicted as a Grand Reaper type of person. He leads and teaches fighters to their purpose in life as he follows orders straight from Yahweh. He is aided in this effort by the Archangel Rafael.

The face was left blank intentionally in this version of him, so that you may interpret him to appear as you will. This is one of the best styles of art that you can use. It keeps others occupied since the image can change at every viewing, and it always matches what they prefer.

Pencil, yet again, is the only agent used in this picture. Fourty minutes drawing times.

i hate to do this, but you asked for critisism, so here it is. the first thing i noticed (after thinking you did a good job on the hands) was that the shoulders seemed hunched up and too broad. i think either more of a neck, a slight slope on the shoulders or just narrower, or a combiniation of any of the three would help with that. i think you did the profile of the face very well. the scythe seems strangley twisted, probably because of the bulge toward the arc. his body seems a little shapeless and almost too short, too. I can't think of how to fix that. maybe a little thinner... sorry, i hate critiqueing things. it makes me feel bad. but it's a nice picture. 12

K. Well I like the idea about leaving the face blank...but what about making another one with a face?

:-) Josh 'Boo Boo' Walls replies: "I tell you what. I'm drawing a back-view picture of Blade, and then I'll draw the Archangel Michael with details... just as I see him. Okay? : ] Thanks for the comments!"

Ok. I like the hair style, and the hands are good. So is he not supposed to have a face?

:-) Josh 'Boo Boo' Walls replies: "Nope, he's not supposed to have a face, just because it forces imagination. Thank you. I'm glad you like the hair. It was my first try at longer hair. : ]"

Sharp thing! Coooooollll. I very much like the simplicity of this one. Good job. ^_^

:-) Josh 'Boo Boo' Walls replies: "Really? Thanks... I hear all the time how bad it stinks and that it's not complicated enough. It was meant to look like it does. Thank you. ~.~"
