Snow Angel (of Death!)


glamage

Snowpocalypse references both Snow and the end of times. I was initially going to paint up a model to represent Death (with a scythe) but felt that it wasn't snow themed enough. I thought about other gods and mythical creatures that collect the souls of the dead and then came up with the idea of a Snow Angel. Snow angels are fun shapes children make by lying down in the snow but I got to thinking what a real snow angel would be like.

So my piece is the Snow Angel (of Death!) who collects the souls of those who die in the snow. I tried to convey this by having her stood over a frozen lake full of bones and skulls and by using a cool set of colours across the whole model. I was especially pleased with the lake.

I've tried to use hints of blue/green metallic paints to give a sheen to the highlights of the wings which I wanted to keep black and menacing.

The Iron Painter has been a great journey and its been a privilege to compete alongside such a great community of painters, courteous and helpful judges and committed Wyrd staff. Thank you all for sharing the journey!

This Is brilliant. True Art

Haha I've been itching to do more water since I started playing with resin for round 2! Thanks for the kind words.
