Angel of the SkyI started this piece earlier today and I'm moving through it quickly and methodically. I don't want miss another week.

2015-06-04 20:53:21 +0000 UTC View PostHey backers,
I'm traveling to Japan to be a guest Magic: The Gathering tournament this week. I wanted to post a bunch of content for you before I left because I'm not going to have time to make a new illustration this week. However, my internet connection has made that impossible.
Over the past week, my Internet connection has been spotty at best. It pops back up for an hour or two here or there but there is nothing I can do to fix it at the moment because the problem is with...

Feel the embrace of fire and rejoice You are free at last angel of flame Let your purifying embrace take us in whole Bring to us your pure kiss And free the sinners from their torment- Hail Uriel! Lord of purification and bringer of flame!

Sorry for posting this late. Furiously preparing for Anime Central this weekend while also migrating to a new work machine and trying to finish this on time.

Hey Patrons! I'm going to be discontinuing the postcards in the next couple months. I'll be replacing them with something much cooler. I'm currently working on creating an Angelarium collectible card set. Think baseball cards, but for angels. They are going into production shortly and you'll start receiving them the month after I have them in the studio. I'm still working out how it will work, but I want the experience of being a Patron to be one of the best ways to collect these cards. Let ...

One of my reservations about redoing all the angels from series 1 has been a worry that new paintings for my least popular pieces like Eistibus, Hasmed and Uriel would be a waste of time. Instead, those have been the ones I've ended up taking the most liberty with and ultimately had the most fun with. Looking forward to this one!

Whoo! This is going quickly. Feeling back on track :)

The original Eistibus from 2004 is easily the weakest piece from the series and the least like the rest of the whole project. I'm making a lot of changes but he's still going to be an odd one. This is the halfway point for series 3. Some of the most popular angels are yet to come.

Hey backers! This was a tough couple of weeks. I was working on all this in the midst of illness, conventions, licensing discussions, Kickstarter wrap up and some small family crises. It pulled my productivity to about half of what I wanted and I'm posting this extra content for you as a little bonus to make up for the slower pace recently. Everything is back on track for next week. Enjoy the bonus high res image and PSD. -Pete

Flesh to ash, bones to dust Let sand pull back to wretched teeth and let the heavens rain dry Fill thy heart with scorn, o genius of dust Let thy touch wash over our sins We submit to the end.

I wanted to create a portrait format version of Netzah after I attempted to show the whole set together last month. I hope you like it!

This week has a been a mess of good news and bad news, but all of it has pushed me off track. The kicker is that I will be spending the next 3 days working the Angelarium booth at C2E2, so I won't be able to finish this piece until Monday. At least I managed to do that Netzah update this week, I'll post that as well.

I'm drawing on my experience with the dust at Burning Man for this piece. It brings back some amazing memories to think about the playa.

This was actually the very first entry in the series back in 2004. Things are on a good track this week so far but I'm going to be busy setting up a table at C2E2 in Chicago starting Thursday. I'll do my best to pin this down before then so I don't end up posting the final on Monday and killing next week's piece. If you are in the Chicago area, stop by and say 'hi', I'm going to be at a vendor booth. You should be able to find me in the program under "Mohrbacher Art Ltd."

I'm going to start doing limited edition versions of some of my pieces. Simikiel is the first one and I'm giving you guys a 1 day advance notice about it because you helped me make it. It's live on the store right now and I'm going to publicize it tomorrow. There are only 25 copies available, so there is a decent chance they will sell out. http://www.trueangelarium.com/store/simi...

Hey there backers. Sorry about missing a week last week. I am making this video exclusive for you as a piece of bonus content. I'm thinking about making one every week. Let me know what you think. https://mega.co.nz/#!VMgxjYDB!8a2anlPTY6u103UYUMOPS5kN75Ds3YnapFGuiwhMc94

"Call his name and he shall come Speak your words of betrayal and he will be at your side Pierce the sword of vengeance into the hearts of thine enemies and you will gain retribution But be warned, for vengeance carries a double edged sword Do harm upon the undeserving and he shall bring his wrath upon you three fold -A Prayer to Simikiel, Angel of Vengeance"
2015-04-16 20:47:21 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, I tried my best to finish Simikiel this week but this is one of those rare weeks where I couldn't make it. The end of the Kickstarter completely ruined my ability to make art. I'm going to make it up to you with some bonus video content as well as a bonus PSD this week. I'm going to reach into my archive to dig out the classic version of this character so you can see how my process has evolved in the past 7 years or so. Sorry again. I'll make it up to you. -Pete

I ended up playing around with the pose a little. I want to give this one a little more dynamic swagger. But I felt like the leg crossing over the figure looked too much like a dance move.

One of my most popular pieces is the next to get remade for series 3. Simikiel, Angel of Vengeance

In heaven Moses came upon the five angels of divine punishment Among them was Hasmed, Angel of Annihilation. For all the forces of creation in the heavens and earth there is but one undoer To hear his voice is to know that you are deaf To see is face is to know that you are blind To feel his touch is to be no more" -Unknown
