Here is my half of an art trade with Elfwood artist Nicole M. Bergrath. Nicole wanted me to draw her fallen angel Darcea, and I have to say he was a lot of fun to work with. His eyes are great - one’s red, one’s green - though I think the tail’s also a unique addition.

I wanted to experiment with markers in this picture, which you can mainly see in the stylized wings - blending, and also creating a black halo effect (another place I tried to achieve that in is my "Angel of Argos" picture, also in this gallery). I also wanted a high contract between the background, the figure, and the wings; I thought about shading his body and clothes, but eventually went with the stark white.

oh, by the way, nice picture, reminds me of one of my characters, but he has shorter hair.
