The artist who made this is Peter Mohrbacher. It's part of a large series of really cool art like this.

love how OP cropped out Mohrbacher's sig...

But then again the artist got caught basically copying other people's work for his designs. If you go to the site there is now (there weren't previously) reference pieces by another artist he legally had to show as where he got the "inspiration" from. I have a piece of his signed and the guy actually said he dreamed of the images...

So the cycle of thievery goes on I guess.

Peter always had his own head up his ass but I can't find anything on him copying anyone. The only "reference" I see on his pieces are other artists that made works based on the angels.

Go to his page and about 40 to 50 % of his angels have another artist work right next to it. They didn't do work based on his stuff it's the original he based his on...

Google his name or the other artist.

Do you have a source for this? I couldn't find anything when I googled it. I own both Angelarium artbooks and the other artist that you seem to be referencing (Eli Minaya) is credited as a writer and contributing artist for both.

I mean don't let me stop you from enjoying something. I still like the guys art and he now gives proper credit I guess.

It's not like he has no skill and just straight up copied the originals but there is an obvious basis and influence.

Holy. His artwork really is great but he practically lifted each image off the inspiration pieces.

He did the art for the recent Blind Guardian album, The God Machine. Truly an unmistakeable style.

Did he used to have a lot more stuff online or?

I could have sworn I remember seeing a ton of this angel series with the top half of the head cut off, or a hole for a head, in the early 2010's, but don't recognize any of the current set except Af..

He used to post these angels to his Deviantart in those days. That's how I was exposed to him. Don't know where he post them nowadays. I remember him being one of my biggest inspirations

Honestly, any of that artist's works would make good characters...I'm looking at Azazel with his pet goat and wondering when I can use it for a campaign

I don’t think that’s an Angel. I think that’s a stab victim.
