Much thanks to [link] for the photograph of the angel.

This drawing is my version of the following portion of the Bible.

Revelations: Chapter 15

1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made
5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

Your attention to detail is pretty amazing. I especially like the effect of the fog/mist in the background. Adds an air of mystery.

This piece fascinates me...I can't wrap my head around how you achieved that effect with spray paint and coloured pencils. I really don't have any experience with either medium to I'm just stunned. If you have some time I'd love a quick rundown of how you combine the two.

Very beautiful. The dark moody tone is so powerful in and of itself, but, as said before, it has an amazingly realistic look to it too. The detail is amazing, really great job on the depiction and execution. I love it!

I love to see artist's impressions of the world around them, and nothing could be more artistic than trying to capture the symbolism in the Bible book of Revelation. Your entire gallery is amazing and wonderous and awe inspiring. Excellent qualities for a body of work to possess.
(Side note, Revelation 1:1... the God gave to Jesus who gave to an angel who gave John ONE Revelation. Not many, as in RevelationS. Your "s" is incorrect. It's the book of Revelation. Pardon, just a pet peeve ^_^)

I love you. I mean.. I love your work.. *giggles nervously*...

Anyhoo... What I love about your work is that you spray paint it... i would NEVER think to do that, and it looks remarkably real... because it's very easy for spray paint to make thinks look fake, you know? Your entire gallery is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your religion in such a beautiful way. You bear your soul twice, in a way.

revelations is the book that speaks so much of conclusion and the end, but this piece is a new beginning..... the solitude of this statue is almost tangible, I can feel it.... winged but flightless, the eyes are blank and hollow.... a sentry over nothing, what purpose does it have? existence is nothing, life means nothing, it is merely stone... but stone displays strength and can shatter as easily as man..... my god, what a powerful piece ~henderson... +fav, your work is amazing....

And you said I was too young?? What the-- holy geez! (is speechless; apparently ) But.. my gosh; that is incredible! How long did it take you to produce such a--.... (insert intellectual and fitting synonym for "God that is one heck of a piece of art!" word here) piece! This is deathly amazing! I am truly speechless
Maybe I'll come back once my mind actually works. I can't possibly see me pass anything like this off without faving it first! .. I just wish I had that kind of talent-- that will surely get ANYONE somewhere in life.

This is gorgeous. I've always been amazed at what graffiti artist can do with spray paint. But this is outstanding! I've never seen anyone use spray paint with color pencil before. Your detail and the texture you've achieved is incredible. This is just a wonderful piece of work!

I really love your work. you capture the human's emotion very well. you do best in imagination. at least i think you got really good example here. the waterfall shows the spirit of nature. here.... at one point, i don't really understand. angel should be very beautiful and joyful, but after you use this cold color to be the theme. i can't really feel the joyful. another thing that i think you can improve your work is you can try to put more color in your work..... which means sometimes we see things in black but it is not only combine with 'black' but with some dark green, dark blue, dark red...... etc.... i don't sure that you know what i mean..... but i try my best to explain that in english..... anyway... good work.... well done.
