WIP Archangel Michael Defeats Lucifer

[Borek]

Wonderful sculpting. Can you translate the words of the shield please? I'm not fluent in Latin

Hi Tony. Thank you very much and I appreciate your compliment.

Word on the shield - exactly how Tom wrote. Interesting still is (I myself did not know this before) that the original version of this inscription in Hebrew is MI kha el (more precisely mī kāʼēl), which is the same question and the name of an archangel. Therefore, this sentence associated with Michael, and its Latin version can be found on many drawings and sculptures .

Cheers Borek

Hi Borek,
Just catching up on the weeks pF posts and found your latest work.
What a superb work of art you have made here. It is amazing how you have made it so true to the original painting.
I cannot find suitable words to say how good I think this piece is.
Very well done My Friend.

Hi Borek, this is gorgeous, I've got to agree with Tom about the religious mythology thing.
Best wishes, Gary.

Hi Maurice, thank you for stopping by and praise. I greatly appreciate it. Yes I know this photo, before working on this I downloaded a lot of statues and paintings of a possible inspiration, and this was one of them.

Thanks and Cheers Borek[/quote]

I was just breathless when I saw your new work. I remember Michael Kontraros' Fallen Angel (http://www.puttyandpaint.com/projects/3357), also a gorgeous project. Please, if it's possible, give us a sign about casting your work, I'll be interested too in a piece.
Many thanks to share this amazing project with us!
Warm congrats, my friend!

Hi Nicolae.
Thanks for the positive and encouraging reviews . As it becomes available, I sent message..
Michael's "Fallen Angel" of course I know. It's interesting that you mention it. This job on Archangel's fight with Lucifer I liked, but I'd like to do a similar scene just in fantasy style. This religious iconographic style I tried, but it attracts me a lot of spectacular fantasy concept. The net is a lot of inspiration interesting images.

I'm sure this will be one of my future projects. Actually, this theme suitable well into my fantasy project. Quite looking forward to it .
Cheers Borek
P. S. Would be very interesting pieces in this style
