The Fall of Lucifer Morningstar

This illustration was inspired by John Milton's story of Lucifer and his fall from Grace. We see Morningstar as he stands defiantly outside of Heaven's Gates, proudly enduring the change inflicted upon him. He will never know the feeling of angel wings again! But, as he said himself "Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven."

I decided to start off my Deviant Gallery with the first drawing that I ever created as a Professional Illustrator. I created this piece in 1995, and to this day it hangs in my Studio as an inspiration for my passion for creating Art. I have had many offers to buy the original, but I will never part with this one. It fuels the fire for my Muse and is the cornerstone of the collection of my Work.
