This is my entry for =cypherx's "Best Friends" contest. 
It is supposed to depict an angel who has descended into hell to save his fallen comrade from fiery oblivion. Only a true friend would take such a risk. The fallen one might be saved, but if the angel can’t make it back out again, they’ll both be lost to the pit forever. Oh noes. 
Here is the WIP: [link]
Photoshop 5.5 and Painter 6.1, if anyone's curious.

Your fantastic work has been featured here: [link]
This is so beautiful. So brave. I don't even have any words.
Is that the fallen friend's face at the top?
I’m convinced you know already-along with others-, but you nailed this picture to perfection.
thank you my dreams
