Tag As FavoriteComment		BEHOLD!!! The first man in my gallery (that's the main character)!!!!!! You should all be very proud of me and should also relish in the manly-ness since there probably won't be too many more of them, haha! Well the scanner kind of screwed this one up. The actual piece is much smoother and not so blotchy-pretty much the shading looks completely different, but I still like it this way. If you don't like it, blame the scanner. This all started with a wing structure study and I liked it so much that I added a guy in there. There was also a canyon in the background, but it was shaded poorly and distracted from the angel (at least i thought so). So pretty much, he's sitting out amongst a TON of rocks and stuff, contemplating his own existence. He's pretty.

No comments?! How deplorable! This is a great picture. The detail on the wings is spectacular- much better than my piddly attempts at detail. ^_^ You rock, Steph! (Yay, I'm still alive!)

Hi, I really like the structure of the wings, the fact that it is black and white really helps with the feather detail, also the composition draws me in, along the top of the wing to the torso.

:-) Stephanie M. Riley replies: "Thank you for the comment! I was really proud of him when I drew him 'cause those wings took forever and turned out much better than I ever could have imagined they would. "

Usually when Angels are portrayed, it’s the big feathery wings like eagles, which look almost the same on every image. Your work on the wings is very unique and I quite like it =)
