Here's one of a series of studies I did several years ago when I was thinking of doing a short FLASH animation. It involved a barbarian type fighting a bunch of sword-fodder-to-bes. I used simple bold swipes of ink with a brush to make it easier on me.

I'm looking forward to that animated RED NAILS feature that was announced awhile ago.
It credited the contributions of artist Michael Kaluta.

Black Cherubim: "Don't bear him off; do not cheat me."
Translated by Lovern Kindzierski

Character Design for Dante's Inferno.
The "black cherubim" were angels who belonged in the eighth order of angels.
They became demons in their rebellion against God.
