Orlando Furioso

Description

I'm ecstatic about this piece.

To make a long story short, William has a thorn from the Crown of Thorns disintegrated in his bloodstream and as a result has True Faith 5.

I wanted the art to reflect this boon and create an image of William as some sort of angelic figure. I tried to make it somewhat "religious" but with everything having a magical twist by employing the following:

-The use of an astrological circle as a halo
-The use of flight propelled by magic, not wings
-A lance of magical fire, to be like an angel's sword
-William's downward gaze, as angels often do

Let me know what you guys think and whether or not it feels somewhat "angelic".

PS. This piece reminds me of Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso for some reason, hence the title.

PPS. The tradition of reusing heads in my art seems to live.
