Angel (Dark Ascension)

This is a piece from Magic: the Gathering's Dark Ascension release which is coming out soon. I don't paint angel imagery often. The idea of humans with wings is definitely cool but it is always hard to shake the religious overtones. That aside, I thoroughly enjoyed trying to capture the sorrow laden atmosphere that the art description called for.

  1. I would say you did a spot-on job of capturing it. This is one of my favorite cards; I bought the Swift Justice intro pack just to get the foil version to mount. Any plans to offer prints of it?

  2. Hey thanks Pauly! I have the prints made up, though I haven't had a chance to put them up on my site yet.
