Textual submission: "Angel of Death"
Basically I'm depicting the darkness as well as the dark tone of death. In many cultures, souls are said to go to the underworld. So I created a smokey-wisp like thing to represent souls of the dead as well as to represent a consuming death. Smoke has been seen associating deities or figures of death suddenly appearing. Hades for example in Clash of the Titans, and Malthael in Diablo.
