Lightning God: Guardian. A winged warden caught mid-cast, with a storm gathering around him.

I wanted him to feel ancient and calm, not loud. Dark ornate armor against pale silver hair and feathered wings, with the electric blue reserved for the rune circle spinning around him. Everything else stays in cold greys, so the magic is the only thing that really glows. Look closely at the wings and you'll find faint spectral faces drifting through the feathers, a quiet hint that this guardian doesn't stand alone.

The halo, the loose feathers and the drifting dust do the storytelling. The pose is relaxed, but the sword in his hand says he's ready. Follow For more Ali Gillani
