Critique by *ratravarman Mar 30, 2013, 7:42:59 PM
Angels, like the Faere Folk, have been euphemized and sentimentalized to triteness. This revives the original meaning of the archetypal meaning of such a being. Seraph (plur. Seraphim) meaning "Burning One" and this aspect is captured perfectly here in the flaming hair. Angels were spectacular and succinct be they messengers or destroyers. The attribute of the sword can be symbolized by the Hebrew letter "Vav" which appears as part of the holy name the Tetragrammaton. A seraph wielding a fiery sword was set to forever bar Eden from fallen mankind. I could easily see a being like this being set to the task, marching pitilessly and dutifully to its post. The clever use of both impressionist technique and chiaroscuro is evident here in subtly conveying the motion of the figure out of frame where even its light doesn't illuminate the darkness for some reason. This is numinous! :floating:

I used to believe that all angels had wings... this is definitely a new way of looking at the concept of an angel. Angels are also normally perceived as saviors not avengers or warriors, which is contradicted by the knife. The naked woman on a dark background represents a very strong struggle with reality. The three main types of strokes all show energy the thin, wavy strokes of her hair, the broad strokes of the background, and the straighter strokes of the skin show a more concise being than the chaos beside her. the shine on her leg means that there is light where the viewer of the art piece is at- this might mean that the viewer is the hope of the angel, maybe the angel's last hope.

This is really beautiful but I hope you don't mind me pointing out that the composition is weak because it has a "leaning to the side" feel. If you take that further leg, the one that is darker, and change its position so it's on the other side, it will make the image come to a complete circle and lead the eye back into the image over and over.

Gods I love this! The play between the cleanliness of the blade and the fuzzy frizz that is her hair is really striking. The colors are absolutely wonderful for the jump from demonic to angel. Speaking of which, the little fleck of a halo makes it all the better. Bro indeed sir.

Is it okay to ask what brushes you are using? This is so lovely. It looks like traditional oil!
