Angelus Mortis (400th Day on DA Celebration)

Its been a while since I last painted something that is of a dark and horror genre so why not come up with something epic ?  I know this is so not me to paint something that reeks evil so let me give it a good shot at this and why not use an angel as a baseline and take it on from there .During my early days as an artist , I had the chance to travel around and understand the origins of arts from various cultures and there was one particular sculpture that is still roaming around inside my head for a very long time , the Angelus Mortis (Angel of Death) . I have a sketch of it and since I have learn so many different technique , lets do this shall we ! 



Given the episodes of near death experiences that I have , I no longer have the fear for death 
I needed something to remind me about what I have gone through 
something powerful and influential 
and here you have it ...



ps .. Death is not the end .. its a new start
