Prayer to Saint Michael:

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle
be our safeguard
against the wiles and wickedness of the devil,
restrain him,
O God,
we humbly pray
and do thou,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God,
cast into Hell, Satan
and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.


My previous St. Michael piece "St. Michael Prince of Angels" has been one of my tried and true for a good many years, but it's starting to show its age. So, I've prepared a brand new one here. This is one of my favourite modes of depiction for St. Michael; on the brink of destroying a dragon or demon. This version is completed in the manner I had originally hoped "St. Michael Prince of Angels" had been. The colouring was added almost entirely by brush save for some small details. I truly cannot tell you how many hours went into this piece. I've been working on it on and off since May. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it.

Media: Mixed (technical pen, gouache, watercolour and metallic acrylic inks)

This looks great! It's really beautiful! I love all of the detail on this, especially on St. Michael's wings and the demon. I really like how both the wings and halo turned out here.
