Great work !
But here... I feel a bit disappointed. The image looks a bit unfinished to me, to my liking... Too smooth and "plastic", such image with such subject should rather be much more majestic, with more dramatic lighting and even a bit exaggerated contrast between background and forground. Of course when you go for softer look then fine but I think it should be way more dramatic to really strike the viewers' minds. Biblic stories tell us about faith, heroism, fight, wars, blood, tears and suffering but also about great love, devotion and hope. This all should be seen in such image. For now it lacks of dramatism. Four Riders don't really look scary and they were scary, they brought death, war and everything people were afraid of. Though I absolutely love the Angel - His face has this incredible look that makes me shiver inside, He's calm but dangerous. Marvelous work here. But He shouldn't be the only area attracting the viewer, I would love to search for intricate details and symbols in the whole painting.
What I would change here is contrast - definitely darken areas that are not in center of action but still make them visible enough to attract viewers (and perhaps make them search for more there), adding more unusual colors that would compliment the scheme - like dark cool green, cool purple/violet, ice blue for highlights and a bit more of intense red. Also the image lacks textures, it wouldn't hurt to add some roughness to the side areas, while leaving the Angel part as it is regarding texturing - that would increase contrast, in the end we see angels as - mostly - gentle, bright creatures, but with the look of His face and roughness of mentioned areas it would produce interesting effect.
Overall - it's one of the works to remember, there's no doubt. Just a bit more of finishing touches and it would be absolutely superb.
