EDIT3:
3 people, 3 edits... you guys are amazing im completely honest. this further tightens it up and utilizes 's comments. i adjusted the contrast and saturation of the clouds as they fade away into the distant hole the angel punched through, amped up some of the lighting, fixed the perspective of the floating inter-dimensional portal and took away the flying rocks.

EDIT2:
iain mccaig says something to the effect of "you gotta kill your babies" ... in reference to pieces of your artwork. i really liked the angel's foot... but after talking a bit with i realized that a) it was confusing b) it was out of perspective and c) it betrayed the power of the angel. heres the revision and probably the final version!


EDIT:
im a complete tard helped me see that... i can't believe i posted it as it was before... and im sure there's more i can do to elicit that same response :/

The spiritual successor to "Incorporeal Avulsion" - this image was started a few months afterword in an attempt to bring a more positive or dynamic theme to what few spiritual pieces i have submitted. the linework as my scraps can attest to ultimately died with my art drive around February when i graduated uni.

that said, i dug it up a few weeks ago and have been chipping away on it during the weekdays while mainly focusing on ID during the weekends.

lines were in sketchbook pro and the rendering was done in photoshop. developmentally im more excited about the foundations this is laying for a rougher style than anything else. i also did this w/o as much critique as i usually try to get and i often was wishing i had a tone brighter than absolute white in order to express the radiance of the angel and the puncture in the clouds/smoke.

i may be firing this from the hip a bit too fast, so if i notice anything thats still wrong, or somebody brings up minor changes that could help significantly i might go back to the drawing board... anyway, rabble rabble rabble
