A is for Angel of Death

Description:

In an effort to put more of my love of horror and monsters in my art, I'm making an alphabetical bestiary of movie monsters. I'm also experimenting with some mediums I don't normally use. Should be a fun series! We're starting with the Angel of Death from Hellboy 2. Though not intentional, I could say this is due to the new Hellboy film. I'm seeing it soon, though I have a real soft spot for the original Del Toro movies. I know they're not comic book accurate, but they're really fun and visually amazing; the second film being the brighter of the two. One of the shining examples of visual creativity is the Angel of Death, a being that appears for one scene to save Hallboy's life and reveal that he will still bring about the destruction of the Earth. From that eyeless crest of a head to the large wings covered in eyes, it's undoubtedly a very striking character. Made with watercolor, colored pencils, ink and acrylic paint.
