Description
and he always will
get his thrills
the only way he knows how
well it might make you frown
but he just loves being that dove
roaming where he cares to go
to a state of mind that no one knows

over there
stands my angry angel
and he's shaking his head
in disgrace with me
over there
stands my angry angel
and he's frowning like hell
but I'm not feeling guilty
- Imogen Heap, Angry Angel


For and 's Black Feather Gospel contest.

I did say I would be submitting more. D: Actually, there were two other entries, along with this, that I wanted to submit but alas...

This wasn't planned. At all. I had been listening to a lot of Imogen Heap, and when I heard this song, I was blindsided and hit with inspiration hard. Not her more popular ones, but I like it. The song probably suits Lucifer better, but I don't know, Jonas could be a creative type.

I'm really happy with this one, despite all the glaring flaws. A number of happy accidents with this piece that made it rather interesting though grittier from what I had originally intended. ;;;;

Close up and progression shots can be found [here] .

Photoshop CS4 for everything, and I hate it a little less now for painting.


Jonas belongs to *Nadadee .

This is awesome; I love how moody the color scheme is, and how the light coming through the umbrella brings you right to his face.

Yeah, that is the one thing I hate yet like about this piece, but in my mind composition trumps lighting, so incoherent lighting it is! 8D;;;;;;

Haha, well, Kovats did teach us to cheat the lighting if it helps the picture. So you're only doing right! xD

Awesome, Jen. I like the color scheme a lot. A depressing and mysterious rainy day.

I love how the stripes in his suit wrap around his limbs. It makes it feel fairly three dimensional even though it's highly stylized.
