Finally finished a drawing of the angel Uriel, begun as part of an aborted comic book (see the Uriel Sketch elsewhere in this stuff). I'm particularly pleased with this one.

Oh my.. This should have taken forever but it sure was worth the time and effort put in it! 2 And i cannot add something new to this comment list, my thoguhts are the same as all the aboves : this looks marvelous.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Thank you! I like to think it's worth it. I hope to have other versions of the character up shortly."

Whoa, that's big. I like how the line work extends right to the ends of the page and completely fills up the page, makes it powerful.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Thanks! I think I need to start drawing on larger surfaces, though. I have a big problem with not having enough space to complete my drawings; a larger piece of paper may reduce that tendency. Then again, maybe not, but I'm gonna try..."

It's Rosey O'Donnell! ;D I have the craziest ideas.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "She does look a little 'bulky', but Rosie O'Donnell?!? **looks** Hrm. It does look KIND of like her... **g**"

Magnificent, although Gabriel is a female not Uriel, although i don't think it would bother him that much. I'll ask him.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Hrm. I always thought that, in mythology, they were both male. My bad."

Hey whats with uriel angel, can anyone tell me more about this cause my name is uriel and im a guy so i just wanna know where did you guys get this angel from or anything.Thnx

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Uriel was one of the archangels, and was called male and female, at various times. Some literature regards him as the patron of literature and music, while I seem to remember Uriel as the angel who warned Noah that the deluge was about to occur. Uriel (in Hebrew, Auriel) means "Fire of God". Try this site for more: http://www.sarahsarchangels.com/archangels/uriel.html

Hope this helped."

Very nice. I love the armor on this one. I haven't gotten to Uriel in my series of archangels yet. The wings are great as well.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Thanks, man. I hadn't actually set out to draw all the archangels, but I find I'm liking the idea more and more."

Pleased? I daresay you should be! She looks extremely ready to open up a can of heavenly wrath on someone. What I like, though, is that she seems equally capable of great compassion; her physique is both Amazon-like and matronly. Nice job.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Well, I was just getting tired of people emphasizing the whole lovey-dovey, new-agey aspects of angels. They seemed to forget that angels were also destroyers and assassins, and I just wanted to portray the whole concept, from protector to killer. Thanks for you comments!"

^Great picture! Other than the AngelSanctuary- version of Uriel, this is the best I've seen so far. And it's definately the most majestic one...the way you used the space perfectly is fantastic!!!

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Thank you! "

Hello,
first of all it is very good. To draw such an art must be very hard. BUT!!
Could u post the originally title of the book?
Cause i know that URIEL is a Man and not a woman! x)~

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Thanks for the comments! I have to ask, though... which book are you speaking of?"
