Wow, thats extremely awesome (I really have to think of better ways to praise people).
How did you do it?
I love the glowy stuff around his wings, I've always wanted to know how to do that.
...Seriously, completely made by you? The standard just go a hell of a lot higher. I assume you've done things like this a lot in the past.
Edit: Ahh, I see. You've reused the Tyrael from a previous fanart wallpaper of yours. I like this one better than the last one.
Improvements? Maybe give him a bit more texture. He has some great texture, but it would be even better with more. And I don't like the shape of the wings that much. They just seem a bit to exaggerated, especially with the top two how its thin at the base then it goes really thick then thin again. And maybe they could be extended further? But then again, they seem to be based off of Tyrael's in-game NPC, so its good either way.
Hey thanks man. Yeh everythings done by me except I cropped/blended the bottom Diablo logo part in there (Even that part was harder than it looks haha)
The wings were done in the 3D modeling program Maya with loooots of tweaking untll I got what I wanted. Then the rendered Tyrael image was brought into Photoshop for more tweaking, colour adjustments and all that other fun stuff. To give the wings that swirly smokey look I used a couple different brushes in Photoshop with different blending settings and opacities.
Haha if you want actual step intructions or something I may be able to give you a hand sometime soon.
Yes, the wings are based off of the in-game NPC. I don't really want to mess around with the length of the wings at this time because I don't want to have to pan Tyrael out even more just to fit all of his wings in, if that makes any sense. What areas do you think need more texture? I'd agree that his hood does, what else do you think.
Please check it out, it is not a collage of game shots or anything like that, it's hand made.

EDIT: Though personally i wouldn't have placed the collar that high; you look in official pics and the hood has no bottom
