Description "Lucifer is a Latin word (from the words lucem ferre), literally meaning "light-bearer", which in that language is used as a name for the dawn appearance of the planet Venus, heralding daylight. Use of the word in this sense is uncommon in English, in which "Day Star" or "Morning Star" are more common expressions."

I like the colors you used. Most representations of Lucifer see him as the xtian devil. I really like the idea of Lucifer the Light Bringer. The whole image comes together really well. I think I would make his wings a little larger, but it's hard to do without taking away from the impact of his face. I think his wings should also have a glow around them. It's a wonderful image! All hail, Lucifer, Bringer of Light and Wisdom!!

according to luciferism , Lucifer is the angel who want to bring wisdom and knowledge of nature to the Man , who oppose to God , keeping Man ignorant and servile (a kind of Prometheus vs a tyrannic zeus in a way , globally : Lucifer = Prometheus ("that think before" ) . translation can be "light bearer" , but also Light bringer , ferre means both (to bear and to bring)

WOW ! Fabulously eerie , sexy mysterious at the same time ! Very nice work indeed !
The only suggestion I have is for the blending of the wings: Try using a clone tool set to a low opacity instead of the smudge tool . clone a little at a time of the wing onto the skin for a more realistic blending of the two textures !...
This is a reat piece of art ! Good luck in the challenge !

What a concept! I love the aged look on this. He looks ancient! Nice. Where the wings join the body, it looks a little stretched and blurry, but the background glow, the stars, the halo. Excellent! His forehead symbol is a little off but the eye glow is perfect. Really nice piece. Good job.
