First of all, I have to give credit to ~spazzinsprite for the idea of the bleeding halo. Without that, this piece just wouldn't have come together nearly as well.
All in all, this turned out much better than I had anticipated. In the conceptual stages, I thought that it would be too plain, that there wasn't enough stuff in it. But now that it's done, I think that more stuff would've cluttered it and taken away from the power of the image. I actually did this piece for a friend of mine, who is *ahem* paying me for my services... ^_^ He's a really nice guy, and one of my first customers. He said that he wanted something with wings, and I had this image in my head already, so I just sketched it out. This one's for you, RJ.

PS - Yes, I know that the hands at the bottom bear a striking resemblance to the fingers in Chained Beneath The Clouds, but they sort of kinda mean almost the same thing, except a different degree, and they have a whole bunch of different connotations than the fingers do. At least for me.
