Description This is my entry for the "bring your vision to life contest". St Michael is about to give the final blow to a frightened Devil. Michael shows no pity for the poor Lucifer.
This is made with Photoshop and a Wacom Bamboo tablet. I added the elements of the Intuos campaign for fun, because the contest rules say I can.
Please vote for me!! Any comment is welcome!

EDIT : Uploaded the original file without the fake wacom ad lay-out.

Pretty dramatic pic, looks like those reainassance (or however it's spelt ) type of pictures it displays a very good knowledge of anatomy too

thanks for your comment! Well, for the anatomy, I'm not sure all those muscles are at the right places, but hey, it's fantasy...

This incredibly good, but I have to know. Why are they naked?

niwanotanuki In reply to Alleluia00 [2010-02-05 08:00:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!
Why are naked? Well:
1. I guessed angels and demons don't need to bother with cloth;
2. I wanted it to be a bit ambiguous;
3. I'm not good at drawing fabric...

I love it. Though I do have to say that the ad/slogan portions of it really seem out of place and take away from the effect of the rest of the piece. I see it's been commented on already, but the font across the drawing is especially awkward... feels really out of place and just slapped on there. Maybe a more "classic" looking font would fit there better?

niwanotanuki In reply to SarahFriesen [2009-06-01 11:42:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for your comment. I realize now I shouldn't have put the ad part, and just leave it like that. The bottom part breaks the perspective effect. I will update it once the vote is closed.
Thanks again!

I love the drawing, but the font is kind of bland.

niwanotanuki In reply to OpiateTart [2009-05-18 12:40:15 +0000 UTC]

Well, I kinda know. I wanted to replicate the intuos ad campaign here [link] and I chose the closest match with the font used there. (which I think was helvetica); Maybe a slightly bigger size would have been better.

err... thanks but it's so clean and easy to undo when you make a mistake, it's like working with a safety net, without risk of stains on clothe. Trad artist are the real ones!

"Frightened Devil?" "Poor Lucifer?" Try giving the book of Revelation another read-through.
