Reference 1860-1865

I've been doing a fair bit of research (also a commission unrelated to this - don't know if I can post it yet) and while I didn't intend to post any of these sketches, Raul told me to and many people have found it helpful on DA. So I'm posting it here as well. In case it's not super obvious what I'm focusing on, it's the years 1860-1865 and comparisons between Japan and generalized Western countries. Dozo...

Good versus Evil...plus Nahna

 

This is the finished Nahna piece. I almost have the tutorial part of it done, so I'll be posting that here shortly as well. (Just a few more fun details to make it look nice) 

So as labeled, these two gentlemen are the Archangels, Lucifer and Michael. I did these sketches for the last story boarding project in Barry Kooser's Creative Vis. class - in which I will depict the final battle of the First Angelic War and the following Fall of Lucifer. These are indeed exciting times. ^^
