OBSTRUCTION: Michael vs Samael

As he was being pushed down to Hades by the hand of God, the soon to be fallen angel grasped the pure white wings of his rival and enemy, the archangel of fire.

'Michael, if I am to descend to the depths of Gehenna, then I shall take you down with me! Your tender flesh will serve well in feeding the mouths of the ravenous demons who are forsaken by the almighty one!'

'Samael, you must repent! Repent before salvation is forever lost!'

Ah yes, Michael and Samael, aren't they like the coolest opponents? I decided to name my version of Samael the Prince of Misdemeanor/Delinquency or something along those lines (but he's still the Venom of God!). Meh, I have some time to think about it.

Michael's hair came out too.. 'big'... or did it o_o I'm not so sure anymore. Ugh!

Anyway, the first time I was saving the final file, my computer crashed. I was so mad!!! I'd been working on it for 3 days straight, and my computer dared to crash!?!? Anyways, I feel better now.

Used the same technique (more or less) that I employed on Anatnem the Merciful [link] . This turned out less good than I had hoped though -_- but I still like it.

A bit of explanation for the elements in this image...

Virtual Reality visor and wires: I've decided to create a sort of virtual game for Revolt Against GOD. The game is created by a band of demons who work under Samael's ruling. Upon integrating himself into the human realm, the latter becomes a well-known player of the game. At first, all seems fine with the virtual world, however, slowly it turns into a slaughter house for Samael's pleasure. All those who are killed inside the game die in the real world, their souls being transfered to Satan's cause.

Inverted cross: The inverted cross is the symbol of the Antichrist (it is not anyway) who is an opponent to the Messiah. Samael follows Lucifer/Satan (they won't be exactly the same person in my story, but I won't get into the details), therefore, he holds the cross in an inverted manner.

Reversed KILL behind the word 'Obstruction': The reversed word KILL is written on Samael's visor screen although it is barely visible because his hair is blocking it.
