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.

The depiction is so dramatic, and also a beautiful way to portray true friendship.

Wow.. I love the back story to your inspiration. I believe there is no greater love then that of a friend who would risk their own life to save them. Very moving piece of work...brilliantly done!

I just said "Woowwwww...." in my chair. Gads the emotion! 
This is so beautiful. So brave. I don't even have any words.
Is that the fallen friend's face at the top?
