Inspiration is truly contagious. A conversation between me and my friend, Gerben, lead me to start this painting, which in turn inspired another friend of mine to write a song about it.
I sometimes envision death angels to be beautiful creatures, so I fused that concept with this one. When he removes his skull helm, his flesh returns causing the nails on his shackles to pierce through them making him bleed. His emotions and pains also return...
I kept the background plain because I didn't want it to detract too much from the main image.

I used a reference for the raven.
Edit: edited background a little to show better depth...
Wow, the concept behind this piece is really interesting and you did a fantastic job laying it out on this pic. That's pretty powerful, I mean I thought it'd be possible to consider sympathy for "death," haha. The flesh growing back down his chest is freaky awesome. Excellent detail. And the crows and falling feather add a real nice touch.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
