Description
My first completed photoshop art ever. I've started several projects but this was the first to be actually completed. I'd love to hear how I can improve because I'm really getting into photoshop and my next piece is already in the making.This is some concept art for a game I've been working on mostly in solitude for a number of years now. Now I've started working on some art and this is the first finished piece.
Race would be human, the class would be the Nephilim which would be able to fly, obviously I guess.... but, there's a lot to it really.
The original name I had for this class was DemonBlood, but a friend said I should call it a Nephilim, which he said was a fallen angel, which is kind of wrong. I think the general agreement is that it means "giant, or half giant" or something. Its from the old testament I think. I'm not really looking for earth based references though so I may change it again later. Nefium may be a happy medium.
Not sure why but something made the image go blank so here it is again. I improved on it a bit too.

Really like this piece. From what I have learned, the Nephilim were called the "ones who came from the heavens", but in the Earth Chronicles by Zecharia Sitchin, they were thought to be the Annunaki, from the planet Nibiru (that is actually in our solar system and comes near earth every 3600 years or so, actually as we speak they are due to arrive again soon. Wreaking havoc in many areas of our world. This planet is huge and has actually been documented by the Naval Observatory in the 70's and recently more possibilties arise) The Bible does translate them as Giants, of course, there are, so many questionable verses and chapters that are interpreted in a million ways to "fit" the human creation, but I think Zecharia is much closer to reality after reading 6 or 8 of his books. Sitchin has translated thousands of sand discs from ancient ruins of the time of the Sumerians, and possibly earlier, and has written quite a great version of how humanity came to be....they did mate with human women, but it goes much deeper and tells of how we humans were actually genetically manipulated with the Annunaki genes. A "must read" for sure! Check out his website, it is quite awesome. I like the depth and the wing structure of your creature, makes you want to know him or even "be" him !!! Also thanks to Boggleboy for enlightening me to your work!

Thanks, glad you like it.
Sounds interesting, but is it advocated as fact or fiction?
And much thanks to Boogleboy, he's really too kind.

The Earth Chronicle Books have been around for quite a while but Sitchin still writes more. I started reading them in the 70's (yeah, I'm as old as dirt

Well... I did look into it for a couple hours and must say it seems very much based within the realm of fantasy. Very creative though. Just my .02

You may be correct about the fantasy aspect, but then again, isn't all forms of our beginings fantasy?
Have you had a chance to visit my gallery yet? Let me know what you think. later, j

heh, I would disagree but I'm definitely the worst possible person you could talk to about this sort of thing. No disrespect meant at all though. If you have an interest of debating I wouldn't mind chatting about the subject in more detail as our time allows, maybe one of us can make the other 'see the light'. I'll check your gallery after I post this ; )

Hmm... Well, I'm a skeptic by nature, but I'll see what he has to say.

The Nephilim are hybrids of human and angel parents. It's talked about in the book of Genesis. Some angels were attracted to the daughters of men and took on human form to take wives for themselves. The resulting offspring were extremely violent and strong and all of them were wiped out in the flood. The name actually means "fellers" as in one who causes others to fall. Some historians even theorize that legends like Hercules could possibly have roots in what the Nephilim did.
Welcome to history hour.

I like that definition better. But in the game it wont have ties to our reality, I just like the name and thought it remotely fitting.

Thanks. its nice to get some views of my art, it's kind of overshadowed by the armor lol, but thats art too in a sense. I'm thinking about creating the armor on this character in leather at some point.
