Description
For whatever reason recently I've strayed away from my normal cool blue preferences and embraced the red power color, and I particularly like this piece for a few reasons. The first would be because I didn't concern myself with anatomical correctness with my illustration, I wanted to acheive a the mood of a powerful body brought down in pain. Also, the fact that this is basically a sketch (i basically just grabbed my wacom and started putting lines down) I think allows the lines to speak more individually than as a whole form. And finally because it is color lines upon a black background, I find that it has a certain eye catching pop behind it, especially with the subtle white included.

I've also begun to realize that my pieces are generally narrative in some manner or another, or at least i always have a scene in mind I'm trying to depict. So with that in mind, I would describe the Red Angel as a young warrior who fights a seemingly hopeless cause. He prays for the power to win the fight, and his prayers are answered, though he realizes in this painful moment the pain and sacrifice having such power requires. As his wings emmerge, are they too heavy for him to hold up, as he collapses to the ground? Or is he shaking the initial shock and regaining his composure, preparing to stand and fight renewed? I leave that up to your interpretation.
