Artist's Comments

This is a celebration in (almost) finishing my commissions. @__________@ And partly also a gift for a good friend of mine, in advance for the next semester's activities, I'm shur.

Lucifer's in the front (the idiot who rebelled and fell), St. Michael's in the back, aaand the three in the middle are Elijah (my variation of the Metatron), Belial, and Jonas (friend's personification of the Holy Spirit).

No offense intended. u_u Just love.

Also, title inspired by Paramore's song.

Enjoy!

hmmm
I really like how such a popular artist as yourself goes and creates religious pieces like these.... it's very brave. I thought I might commend you on such a thing. 8Db

Look into the endless skies and witness the greatest art of all.

I'm not particularly religious myself, so I appreciate the good thoughts! :D I just hope I don't offend anyone (although I'm open to the idea that eventually I will at some point, I just hope people know it's not my intention). I'm a big fan of Angelology and Demonology so yeah. :D

Oh, and here's something interesting:
In the Bible, Lucifer is never actually mentioned as The Devil. The words are often misinterpreted as such, but really Lucifer was a greedy king. :)
(Lol that that's coming from me -- I'm completely athiest. Still, I thought it was interesting, and, again, wonderful work!)

:heart: Props for being brave and posting a sort of religious picture, which I know can sort of be a touchy subject. I think you portrayed the characters, even if they are in your representation. They seem to fit their roles very well though :>

It's time to forget about the past. To wash away what happened last.
Hide behind an empty face.

I've read about that! It's interesting. I love that "Lucifer" means "morning star". I like that his name points to such beautiful interpretations and meanings, and to apply that to the most beautiful angel in heaven who rebelled and really screwed things up is fascinating.
