Description The goater that saves our souls...
In case you wonder why does the character have six fingers on one hand. This is not a rip off from Giger's Alien designs. It's a reference to Seraphim, a religious reference. Angels were said to have six fingers on one hand.

Traditional pencil scetch scanned in and highlighted a little in photoshop. I didnt scan it, (I photographed it ) I had to do this, because the scanning went really bad. But Im happy with the result.

i certainly wish i would have found your gallery sooner. As it is, blueblack pointed me in your direction and i am happy that i followed the lead.

Your work is excellent, your imagination is remarkable and your talent, extraordinary!! You inspire me.

As for this drawing, i did not know that angels were said to have six fingers. i learn something new each day! The shading of the drawing is outstanding, as is the pose and comosition. i am in awe!

Your work at the link is outstanding also. Thank you for the link, by the way. i bookmarked it so i could find it more easily. i looked, also at the page where your drawings are and read that you 'aim to the witches, etc,'. Are you pagan?
The reason i ask is because i am.

thanks. No im not a pagan.. or christian.. sadly enough im just a hopeless agnostic
however I symphatize with the witches back in the inquisition.. and now aswell. I respect that more than christianity

Very nicely done, especially from a photograph.

I once had six fingers but the rats came in the night and stole them from me precious.

Have you seen the movie Gattaga? There's a six fingered pianist in there, he's awesome.

It's a pretty sweet movie.

Pen den da! Liker stilen din Γ₯ tegne i!

Fargene ga et litt stein inntrykk av bakgrunnen, noe som passet veldig bra,
Og jeg elsker mΓ₯ten kroppen hans er stillt opp.. Spesielt hΓ₯nda som holder staven!

takk skal du ha
Fargene er fra papiret.. hΓ₯nda som holder staven er jo den klassiske religiΓΈse gesturen..

interesting about the six fingers didn't know that. Everytime i look at this pic it kinda reminds me of a clown i think its the collar... You should draw some skeletal sheep, but i guess its implied that we are the sheep.

Very wicked ! I'm taking it as a favorite. I'm wondering if this is a character you made up or if he is from the bible or something

Why's he making the live-long-and-prosper gesture with his left hand??

Good work, needs a more pastoral setting to complete the irony.
