Illustration from "Children of the Bomb" graphic novella (unfinished). "Children of the Bomb" is an Angel of Death side project. Jackal is her daughter with Anubis!! This comic was set in a mutant-wasteland future, where the line between animal, human, and 'other' has become thin, as has the veil between the spirit and material planes. I really need to re-write/re-illustrate this eventually :) Angel of Death/Suriel is a character I came up with in 1990. I wrote and illustrated a novella with her as the protagonist (unfortunately, the manuscript, typed on a manual typewriter, disappeared in one of my moves, *argh!*), and she's very much an alter ego and a part of my personal pantheon. She is an aspect of the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet, a fierce protectress and furious destroyer, depending on mood and circumstance. Angel is a permanent part of me -- she's the central image on my backpiece tattoo (the final colors are more subtle now that it's healed, but that's the best photo I have that shows her in good focus -- I should take some new ones, but it's a bit hard to photograph my own back!)
