El-Shaddai, The Spark of Life

for :icondeadpoolrus:'s Life Avatar contest

One question has plagued every sapient being that has ever lived. "Where do I come from?" While the origins of the universe itself remain an unsolvable mystery to all, the beginnings of life have a very real cause. Life starts with El-Shaddai, the spark. Few sentient beings have ever set their eyes upon this creature, and even fewer have actually come close to understanding it.

The universe, on its own, is lifeless; a swirling mass of hot stars and cold rocks. El-Shaddai alone possesses the spark, the essence that allows life to begin. On earth, the spark animated the elements that became the first cell, and that cell multiplied, and evolved, and bore fruit to endless descendants. Likewise does the spark touch countless other worlds, all bearing a permanent mark of the presence of El-Shaddai




Not much to say here; I like the concept more than the execution. Just on a design note, I added some angel features–wings, as well as Ox horns, Lion mane, and Hawk beak (three of the four animals that angels are said to have the faces of). Also, I know it doesn't really fit the tone of my entry, but when it comes to "life", I absolutely LOVE this montage (starts around 1:50): [link]
That's...about it, enjoy! :)

Very cool! :D I actually really like this one, very simple but awesome. I like the face being linked to angels, and the nice, slender but big wings.
