I tried to draw the angel in its true form: with wings, etc. At the same time, I tried to show his features through some signs that make him related to earthly power structures. A helmet with a glass visor, a sword-baton, a kind of IIFS, a glass shield. At the same time, this guy is devoid of any moral connotation. as it usually inherent in the angelic image. He is gray and his image, familiar to us, and alarming. He is ready for cruel actions, following orders, and may have already done cruel things. This effect is enhanced by a mask that dehumanizes the character. In addition, the mask with oxygen tubes on his face makes the viewer try to sence: what are the character's feet vanishing in - clouds or gas?
The light is located behind and on the one hand acts as a halo, and on the other it shows what exactly the angel protects, on which side he is. He is the guardian of light, but thanks to the image, light is no longer synonymous with goodness. It's just a side to the conflict.
