The Galaxy Angels look a little different than the Angels that walk the Earth. They have more feathers, some scales and tridactyl bird like feet. These features are beneficial to the Angels who watch over the many galaxies. Please view full size. Sources
Death as a sentient entity is a concept that has existed in many societies since the beginning of history. In English, death is often given the name the "Grim Reaper" and from the 15th century onwards came to be shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood. It is also given the name of the Angel of Death stemming from the Bible.The Angel of Death is said to guide the souls of the deceased to the next world.I have always loved the story of the "Grim Reaper" and was happy to have this chance to personify him. I sketched this initially so I knew what to work towards and I did a version with wings but he just didn't suit them.
"Genesis 6:1-4 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose"This usually meant banishment and resulted in many fallen angels. Their offspring with the earth women was believed to be a giant race called the Nephilum.A big thank you to a special Worthian who critiqued my entry SOURCES
