God:
"Over all people have I surrendered thee the power, only not over this one which has received freedom from death through the Law"

Angel of death:
"Only for the sake of the honor of mankind do I not tear off their necks as is done to slaughtered beasts"

As the title says, its the angel of death.
Perhaps my one and only idol. He is said to have 12 wings and is filled with eyes. The 12 wings was definitely fun to design, i only ignored the part of the eyes. Which made my painting ugly when i painted them.

He goes by the name 'Samael.'
No holy halo for this angel though. He is fallen during the battle for heaven, but is one of the few angels who still does god dirty jobs. And i never heard any one complain about the angel of death being lazy in his work.

Simply amazing.
You can really get a sense of the angel's size by how much of the screen his wings cover, and the body's jagged edges make the evil part of this angel quite evident.
However, could you have made a more detailed background, perhaps.

His figure looks a bit...limp...but otherwise, this piece is lovely in both composition and colour scheme.

Very very nice piece of work..
If you want a critique here it is.. I think your angelīs legs look strange on the position of the body..
maybe that was your intention, but still kinda look weird..

nice colouring (:

Ooo, this piece is beautiful. The details are inspiring and the colors are gorgeous.
but...
Though I absolutely love how the feathers fade into the color of the clouds (Thereby making it seem more ethereal) I see the same happening to the legs. When I look at the upper body I see tremendous detail, but it seems to lessen the lower you look. The legs almost seem slightly transparent. Maybe it's just me, but it's not quite as eye-popping as the rest of the body, which doesn't seem right for this piece. I also would love to see his face, but that's up to you. Other than that, beautiful work.
