Description Done for #Myths-and-Legends Underworld contest.

This is my version of Azrael, the arch-angel of death in Biblical tradition. He records the births and deaths of every human in his book. Some variants give him multiple eyes and/or heads to keep track of humanity. My version is closer to the traditional Grim Reaper. It's also inspired by Mucha's works.

Learn from my Fail: If you think you've misspelled a word, check before inking. Remembering the correct spelling just as you've finished inking the letters is not good. Thankfully it was easy to fix in Photoshop.

mmm, love the style and borders.

He sure would be having a huge nose if he had one...

The nose would be large-ish but not excessively so.

Glad you like the style.

... What did you actually mispell ?

It looks nice anyway, I was a bit surprised to see that it was digital, the colouring looks somewhat traditional >w<

I misspelt Azrael as Azreal, with the 'a' and 'e' switched.

I mucked around with the brush settings a bit to try out a few different effects.
