The rant: OMG, IT'S DONE?!?! I started this a year ago! But then left it alone. I finally started working on it hardcore at the beginning of the summer... and I worked on it almost every day. I've easily put in 100+ hours on this. Easily. But it came out so good! I love it! But it feels so weird to have it done... So now I have time for commissions again! =3 And fun/non-serious art!

The serious: Introducing my two new characters! *drumroll*
Sylverum and Mayze!
Sylverum (sil-VERH-uhm) is the angel guy with the DO NOT WANT look on his face. He's usually pretty cool, but doesn't like it when Mayze hits on him.
Mayze (MAY-z) is the demon girl (dur) who is totally into good 'ol Sylverum over there. Not quite noticing the DO NOT WANT vibe there...
Angel girl in the background there is just a bartender. And yes that is Death in the foreground... and yes he has a cell phone. What? Heaven/Hell/Purgatory just stoped progressing with technology in the middle ages? Puh-shaw. They've got technology there.

And in case you didn't quite get it in the title... Purgatory isn't a relm... it's a bar... neutral ground where people get to hang out. But it's the oldest and most prestegious bar around. Hence the fancy gothic architecture.

And no, Sylverum isn't drinking an alcoholic drink... he's on duty... and drinking on duty is a no-no. *tsk tsk tsk*

:unimpressed:.........XD just kidding you get a pat on the back for a good job. I see you cut a few things out that where in the sketch still looks good.

In other note I just learned the hell a simple critique can bring. Even more things must be removed I am down to 20 I had 50 somthing :crying:
