In my opinion it's a little bit too human. Maybe you should find a good synthesis between an all blinding light of infinity and a nihilistic shadow-like appearance like shown in the previous pictures of the ghosts. There is a great poem of the German Hans Jacob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen which describes it very well:

"Oh, you very greatest good!
Dwelling so in darkest light!
Through the greatness of clarity,
Your Glory seems like night."

Well, it sounds a lot better in German, but I hope you understand what I mean. It could be a lot more mysterious, glorious but vanishing, shining in the erratic dark light of existence, holding the swords of a cold light, the everlasting shine of your gewgaw vanity.

Just some suggestions from me.
Hope to see more from you in future and great work so far.

Thanks for the input, Plejaden! I agree with you. It needs to look more etheral/spectral. It is pretty much a winged human with a strange shader on it.

That is a nice poem by the way.

I value your suggestions! Thanks again!

Yeah, ethereal and spectral that were the words I was searching for!

Someone made a concept of a techno-ethereal race for a game but it was never used: Img407.imageshack.us

I think the idea behind it is a great way to introduce a being which exists between technology and transcendency.

What I like about your work in general is the the overall mystic aspect about it as I said before. In my opinion it is sometimes better not to answer questions in the game but to extend the symbolic character which skilfully raises the suspense between the player and the shown world.

That's a beautiful concept! It isn't far off from what I envisioned for the final version. But this angel is more of a placeholder for the alpha version. I'll have a newer version not too long from now.
