Description This is a design I thought up recently for the biblical angel Michael. For some reason I felt like doing it in Illustrator, and since I'd never tried such a large and detailed picture in Illustrator before it took alot longer than expected. If I had to guess I'd say I put in a total of around 10-12 hours, though I made alot of changes in the design along the way. I must say it was a very interesting and fun project, but I'm glad to be done with illustrator for now...heheh
I'll be making a full color image for this guy in the next few weeks, complete with scenary and everything, so until then enjoy the lineart

This angel is done beautifully! Angels are my favorite subject--but they are so hard to do... But you did an amazing job, especially with the wing anatomy and the DETAIL!!! ooo the deetail... i could never muster up enough patients to do what you have done. ^~^;

the detailing is awesome, i can never do this in illustrator xDD!
btw did the idea of wings position came from wen-m?

Ex-Shadow In reply to KanaYukino [2009-08-05 18:51:52 +0000 UTC]

hmmm, it might have indirectly been influenced by Wen-M but I wasn't really thinking of him when I designed this and made the pose

Lutra-Gem [2007-02-17 20:34:45 +0000 UTC]

Wow... the detail on that is phenominal. I adore this lineart, and I'm looking forward to seeing it coloured! It's just a pity that my rival in my class is named after the angel... It kinda spoils it for me, cos I hate the guy. Love the pic though.

Ex-Shadow In reply to Lutra-Gem [2007-02-17 22:43:18 +0000 UTC]

hehe, there are plenty of people with the name Michael, it doesn't mean he's named after an angel necessarily.
Thx for the comment, I'll try to have the colored version up eventually, though it may take time because I'm gonna do a background for it as well.

Lutra-Gem In reply to Ex-Shadow [2007-02-17 23:03:50 +0000 UTC]

Actually, I know this guy is specifically named after St. Michael the Archangel. I vaguely know his parents, his family are all stict Catholics and (this is the clincher) he regularly tells me he's named after the guy. I think that's fairly conclusive. But the picture is still great; looking forward to seeing it coloured! I assume we'll see it showing up in the *angel-lovers gallery?

finicks [2007-01-31 07:51:21 +0000 UTC]

The drawing is really good, but I don't think the face goes well with it. I think if the face had a little bit more detail and was a bit more serious it would match the rest of the drawing better

Ex-Shadow In reply to finicks [2007-01-31 17:34:58 +0000 UTC]

It will, I just didn't wanna try to put alot of line detail into the face because it would look old. I'll work on that when I color it though. thx for the comment
