Description
'Speak the oath...' said he, with the blade to her throat.'I swear to you my allegiance. I will serve under you, obey your commands. And if ever I should repent before God, then may my soul feed your hunger.'

EDIT 2: Thanks to ~poopbear for noticing that the scythe was blurred o_o I updated the image with a more darker scythe to uh... hide the blurryness a bit because I couldn't sharpen it...
Previous:
I. Corrupt Angel
II. Bloodshed of Kin
III. Transition to Black
IV. Messiah of Death
Finally, another RAG submission XD Er.. ok, maybe not. I now officially detest distinct background elements (I mean the eggs in the background, of course).
Urg, gotta get to class soon, so I'll make this brief. The two characters in the image are Myriel, who has been reborn a demon, and the Messiah of Death, I think I'll call him the Reaper.. 'cos it's cool o_o The eggs in the background are those of angels/demons that haven't been reborn yet. Their process is the same as the one our fallen angel went through
(Edit) So yes, anyways... Ok, what was I saying again?
Now on to symbolism: there are still some feathers left on Myriel's wings because her transformation was not complete. She's had a small evolution in my mind, and I decide she wasn't evil to the core

This seems to tell quite a detailed story. I like the purples and dark reds that you used, and the reaper looks really graceful. The way the background blurs makes the space look huge.

Hmm, I definitely do appreciate the darkness into the rebirth of the fallen ones, and the Reaper...wow! I see a mix of your sense of expression and Tim Burton's expression of darkness X3.
It's pretty damn good ^_^...I think I may end up faving all of your drawings XD

I LOVE IT!!! I'm very much faving this. The scythe looks cool with the blur I'm glad you didn't sharpen it. I love the Reaper's face/head. She looks cool with the wings. I like the broken egg....

Ikeda,
I think you should start making prints, seriously you could earn quite. You've got a huge fan base, bags of talents. Think of it as a hobby that pays.

Wow! I love the CG style applied to this! So clean and sharp ^_^
And you're right about the egg, they look a little too noticeable (o.o there must be a better word for that expression XP) but what counts is the overall, right? And I think that it's a marvelous picture as a whole

Soooo..... Angels and Demons are born from eggs..... It just makes so much sence now.
i like the Death guy.... Messiah of Death just sounds so cool. you really have a tallent for the dark.
It sees to me that your pictures are getting darker and darker in style. which is great because the fun stuff to look at and draw are always dark and demented.
keep up the great work.....
(now if only i could finish one of my dark pics...)

I've commented before on this series, or more specifically, your style. I love it.
A delightful change from the usual and something I hope you will continue.
