Whew! I'm artistically exhausted! This is my latest photomanipulation titled 'Angelus Mortis' which is Latin for 'Angel of Death'. The artwork itself is inspired by the songs 'Serenata Immortale' and 'Diem Ex Dei by Globus.
This was one of my most challenging pieces. The wings was particularly difficult to blend in to create an overall cohesive look. I'm not wholly satisfied with the final product. I still lack the skills, practice, time, and that extra dose of artistic inspiration and talent. But I thoroughly enjoyed creating, constructing, producing the artwork! For some strange reason, or perhaps it's because I enjoy being fully absorbed in a task, I love the process of creating a photomanipulation. The thrill! The exhilaration! The pure joy of being a creator, a maker, a first-hand witness to the birth of an artistic product!
