Finally it’s finished

Occasional Angel

Pencil on Mat Board

20” x 40”

I know plenty of people who look “bad” fancy themselves as “bad” and spend lots of time playing the part, could it be for “self protection”? But just below the “mask” lurks the goodness that’s in most of us. Occasional Angel

I want to thank all of you people who kept up with this endless drawing. As much as I try to reply to all, I know I must miss a few of you, so thank you so much for the comments, questions and opinions!

Many people believe that angels are cute little cherubs who spend all of their time watching over us and keeping us safe. That's not how any scripture describes them, though. Angels are hardcore. Look up some info about angels, and you'll find that they are not all that different from *nimra's creation, Occasional Angel, final. This piece is an expertly drawn, photo-realistic piece. It fooled me when I first saw it. Be sure to full view to see the intricacies involved. (Suggested by =tubamann and Featured by `fusionrock)

I've been tracking this since you started, and though I didn't leave comments on all the stages, I've ogled over it quite a bit. You really did a wonderful job with this. Your attention to major and minor details make the picture itself just pop off the page. And your shading skills blow me out of the water every time. The final was well worth the wait. A wonderful job indeed.

Great job man; glad to see that you've got it done. The finished product is amazing... hell, each step of the way this was amazing. LoL. Well, like I said, it's amazing; your attention to detail is unrivaled, and I've seen photographs that look less real. Awesome work once again!
