Description
I have watched you since you were born
I wrote your name in my book as you came into this world
I have had an eye watching your entire life
See now, your name fades with time
And now you shall return from whence you came
Delivered from this mortal coil
Let this apple take your body from you
Let my hand guide you to your rightful place
For I am your shepherd
Blessed are the dead
And now you are among them

all of your work is amazing. It's very hard to pick a favorite. Always nice to stumble on an artist with this much talent.

Just ordered a mat of this piece, absolutely stunning rendition of such a classic idea; the Angel of Death. Not necessarily sinister, not necessarily benevolent, but factual, and absolute. Excellent work.

Really Awesome Art. I love the background and am amazed how you managed to pull of 7 pairs of wings, six - correction, seven - arms with freaky eyes in the hand palms, a beard made of snakes(?), and a floating book without making it look awkward. Bravo!
(Where's the eighth hand? Beneath the book?)

That’s not a beard of snakes. Those are a multitude of tongues. In Abrahamic myths, he is sometimes depicted with a multitude of tongues and eyes as well as having four faces, which made him rather eldritch. Then again, many angels and demons were depicted as rather alien in comparison to how most artists depict them today.

JRR Tolkien often referred to death as both a gift and a doom.

The most disturbing thing here is the odd number of hands.

If anyone plays Blazblue, they should know that Azrael is named after the angel of death.

I saw one of those "hand eyes" once in my left hand after desperately focusing on my palm when I was in a shock stare. First thing was my flesh in my hand turned black like it would be burned then the eye appeared in the middle of that spot and it looked at me. That moment I heard a voice. And instantly I was able to controle my breath again, my muscles finally relaxed, I collapsed and blacked out. I was 3 years old. I think it is a form of how our subconscious or counterself appears to us in moments of great stress after this experience. This... or I'm possessed.

Death is not a punishment.
Deaths is the Law.
We are all bound by the Four,
Those who Ride to the End,
We are right to fear and abhor,
For they come for all Men.
Mazbael, The Angel of Desire - for all Men have longing
Udanke, The Angel of Torment - for all Men face suffering
Gadreel, The Angel of War - for all Men are bound in conflict
Azrael, The Angel of Death - for all Men must pay the debt of life
