An old collaboration with an old friend of mine(NexusDX on DA: http://nexusdx.deviantart.com). I pencilled in Lucifer, and he pencilled in St. Michael. I inked St. Michael and he inked Lucifer, then I colored the biznatch.

It began as a bullshit collaboration just to keep ourselves in practice, but it turned out to be a whole big project that, I think, turned out rather nice, though my inkwork sucks ass compared to Nex's. My inks didn't have any confidence here, and they still don't have much confidence, really.

This is a depiction of Lucifer's fall from grace as The Serpent and St. Michael's battle against him. Lucifer's fall can be seen here in his transformation from a once-great four winged archangel into a skull-faced dragon. That transformation is not yet complete here. The white feathers that once made up his grand wings are being shed to expose the leathery membranes of a dragon, a serpent-- the very image of evil that has been sown across the land.

For he dared to defy that which had made him, so he must become that which he was destined to be.
