Apocalypto Angel - Coloured

See the whole Apocalypto Series here

My mum asked me what I would do if I had to draw an "Apocalypto Series" angel. This is what I came up with. I'll be posting the line work soon - having issues rendering it properly.

I drew this on paper with a 0.5mm black ink pen, then live traced that image in Adobe Illustrator, coloured it with the "Metal" gradients, exported to Photoshop, used burn and dodge tools to get the shading, then used stock for the background. Took the better part of eight hours to get everything done, but I split it over two days, so it wasn't too bad

The background is a re-colour and cropped version of:

"Sunset by .

Thanks for that! Finding the right background was driving me nuts!
