Artist's Comments
From my little EXPERIMENT today. I wanted to have something to upload today, on DA's birthday, since so many people are advocating not uploading anything at all, or only yellow things. So I just wanted to stick it to them and celebrate art ^_^ cause thats what I do.
So I stayed up all night and tried to see how many illustrations I could get done by 7:00 pm. I only got two done, but they're extremely different from each other and a little odd.  All and all a good experiment.Don't read too much into this one, its more of a "for the hell of it" pic. I've been having an urge to draw Azrael as a modernized yet more conventional/cliche Angel of Death. So thats where this is, but its nothing like I originally planned. It's much more solemn and beautiful. He also looks good in a hoodie. I knew I wanted it to be mostly brown (since Az is a pretty monochromatic guy), so I brushed in brown across the lineart before coloring anything else. I actually ended up doing that a second time after an experiment with white and sepia ink failed and I needed to wash out the mess. I ended up with that kickass background texture because of it (Though I hadda color his hoodie, hair and skin and stuff again). The falling leaves were added in on a whim and I'm glad I did it. Autumn is the season of death, afterall. You will probably never see Az with that scythe again, as I said this is a "for the hell of it" pic . I like how the transparent wings come out. I'm extremely happy to have white ink again. Can you tell?India Ink on Watercolor Paper Watercolor White Ink |

PS: I ask apologies to all those people that think that, today, I should not submit or comment to anyone because of the resent situation in DA; but I feel that my duty as a watcher of all of you is to watch and comment each one of your works, even if the only thing I can say is a simple compliment.
