Artist's Comments

Thanks for the DD, ^mangapunksai!

(It's not thaaat big a file for once, so full-view please!)

...is the meaning of the name of the Archangel Gabriel. He is a messenger of God and the leader of the Archangels (could've been Michael, but I chose Gabriel ;) no reason).

Another pic for Revolt Against GOD. It's been almost half a year since I posted anything for that! :lol: Yep.

So, I went with the same CG technique as the one I used in Jester's Bait [link] It's supposed to be the another pic in my Archangels set (along with 'God is Healing'... which is horrible, I'll probably redraw it). It's pretty blue, ain't it. Well guess what, Gabriel's element is water, so ha! to you.

I hated starting this off though. The inking was craptastic, so I had to clean up everything in Photoshop, WHICH IS SO FREAKIN' LONG. I feel better now :lol:

That is all, ikeda out.

*I might rework the background... later.

'Man of God' by ~ikeda is a beautifully drawn piece with a stunning and balanced sense of color. The stark contrast between the clean cel-shading of the character, and the painterly background is also something that just makes the entire image stand out. (Featured by `mangapunksai)

He is most excellent. Nice pose good usage of colors and I like the way you rendered his wings especially since my bird wings need improvement.

Jeez i know what you mean about inking and when you get it wrong the cleanup takes forever. Personally I turned to vectoring^^

Nice work all the same Ikeda, nice to see you back.
