Description
An angel is a supernatural being or spirit found in various religions and mythologies. In Abrahamic religions they are often depicted as servants of God and celestial beings who act as intermediaries between heaven and Earth.[1] In Zoroastrianism and Native American religions angels are depicted as a guiding influence or a guardian spirit.[2]
The English word "angel" is derived from the Greek ἄγγελος (angelos), a translation of מלאך (mal'akh) in the Tanakh; a similar term, ملائكة (Malāīkah), is used in the Qur'an. The Hebrew and Greek words in ancient times meant messenger, and depending on the context may refer either to a human messenger or a supernatural messenger. The human messenger could possibly be a prophet or priest, such as Malachi, "my messenger", and the Greek superscription that the Book of Malachi was written "by the hand of his messenger" ἀγγήλου. Examples of a supernatural messenger,[3] are the "Mal'akh YHWH," who is either a messenger from God,[4] an aspect of God (such as the Logos),[5] or God Himself as the messenger (the "theophanic angel.")

I had a hard time just picking one to comment on. Your handling of digital art is just outstanding. The colors and composition are perfect. I work in Painter 12, but tend to do more tradition painting techniques on it. Terrific work.
