Gabrielby `nighty

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Fantasy

This is my submissions for the newest =exceeds "Holy" Release and at the same time my Advent Calender entry. Multi tasking

As for the piece itself:
I was always fascinated with russian icon paintings and saints and thought this release might be the perfect opportunity to create something along those lines - a modern version of the old classics.
As for the saint. I chose “Gabriel” which was portrayed sometimes as a woman when he was depicted as a messenger.

Stock I used for the angel is the beautiful *lockstock
and my own sources.

Very cool. I've never seen Gabriel depicted as a woman before though. Russian you say?

I saw this before and meant to comment, but I don't think I did. I like your monochromatic color scheme and the texture of the background, but what I love is the writing around the figure. The shape of the individual letters looks more decorative than writing-like, kinda foreign, which fits. A bit like arabic maybe?
