Artist's Comments

This was very fun to do, I like fabric. This was a bit of a reversal of my usual process. I usually start with a black canvas and make it lighter, but either I have a cynical view of angels or it just works better to get a light figure, as in this case I started with a white canvas and darkened it.

Edit: Face vastly improved under advice from ~Avicolyian

Omg... Wow... Now I am jealous; you're hilarious AND a great artist. I love the fabric. And the wings. And the hands. And... OMG I LOVE IT ALL! His face looks a little strange to me for some reason. Maybe because the light is right on it, but still... This is amazing. I am super impressed. Just... WOW!

Thanks! :w00t:

What do you think needs to be changed about the face? I fiddled with the lighting on it a number of times to give it an angelic quality, but I may have bleached out some of the facial features in the process.
:iconavicolyian:
I think that's it. The nose and mouth are perfect now that I look closer. Seriously, it's wonderful and goes wonderfully with the rest of the picture. It's from the nose up that's just... jarring? If that's the right word?

They're too dark. Especially the eyebrows. I think that if the eyes were muted a little (or maybe open slightly) it would look better. Everything else is so light and angelic and beautiful that the dark lines of the eyes, eyebrows( and even to a certain extent, the brown hair) look different... I don't know if it looks BAD, it's just different from the rest of the tone of the picture.

Well, the hair got royally fucked up at some point, since I drew the whole thing on a single layer (except the whitish background).

Good point about the eyebrows, they look terrible now that I think about it. I'm not sure if I want to have the eyes open though, but I'll try to make them less black.

Lol, I'm totally not an art critic, so I suck at putting/understanding proper words to things. I think the hair is good. The lighting on it seems off, but that's the only thing. From the face, the light looks (pardon the cheesiness) like it's comming from INSIDE the angel. His face from the nose down seems to almost glow. But his hair seems (again, not an artist) like the light source is over his head, like a halogen bulb. It gives him a nice halo, but interrupts the really angelic face you have going on. I don't think that the hair looks bad otherwise. It suits him well.

I'm really jealous of how good this is. Seriously. I can barely draw cartoons XDD. That's why I write!
