It looks to me that Nick has a small head.

[tlsaudrl2548]

artistic for this :)

[wingless]

This was done in Garrysmod? Shit, Nice work!

[Joazzz]

Holy shit. The most original picture I've seen in a while, and well done too.

Lighting on the Nick dude could be better though.

[ChestyMcGee]

and susan still loves you

This ain't original, it's just done right.

[Butthurter]

Ha, I wish.

Edited:

In all seriousness, I like the pic a whole lot.
An obvious fresh change from the usual people make here.

Originality has been [just about] dead for some time now. Now, it's all about the presentation.

[God's Pimp Hand]

It's a nice departure from the myriad of war-oriented pictures that inhabit this forum.

I like it.

[Necrotic Fever]

Very atmospheric.

[redman23]

oh God i Love this!

Fisher's ape face with the strong shadows really bothers me.

I wanted to try a 'head-shop' that little have seen and even a character little have seen. Left 4 Dead characters were then out of the question (save for Nick since he's the star) because they're too familiar and were not really what I was looking for to add. Then I remembered my original concept of the picture where it was to have Sam Fisher mourning his dead daughter (inspired, of course, by Splinter Cell: Conviction) on an autumn afternoon. The character I was looking for had to also be HD (to an extent) and fitting for the role of a 'fellow archangel' as he is posing as here.

Reasonings aside, I do see what you mean. His head is oddly shaped (more so since I 'gave him a hair cut', if you know what I mean.) and his ape-like features are especially prominent in this picture (thank God I didn't make his mouth open as if he were talking. It would only have looked worse). But hey, not everyone looks their best on camera; and that's all a part of normal looking people.

Wait so is there a model with fisher in such a costume? Cause that looks straight up schmexy

But Joazzz if you're saying it's original because it's activity upon this forum decreased than what is original to you.

Because if you haven't seen a movie, poster, tv show, with the same amount of detail. I don't know.

Unless you're saying it's original to facepunch then I don't have anything for you besides we're thinking of two different things.

Now give me kiss.

[a-cookie]

Looks amazing.

You're on drugs.

And I don't usually see pictures of guys with detailed faces in black coats bidding the last farewell to a loved one.

I'm glad my photoshop skills can mislead in such a way. But no, there is no such model (at the moment), but perhaps a picture like this or maybe one that may come in the near future may inspire someone with the proper talent to make such a thing.

Thank you everyone. The Archangel is definitely one of my favorite creations and also my most delicate.

The edge of that pocket is a little blurry from the edit.

Edited:

I wouldn't mind doing the Sam Fisher headhack for you, but I don't have the source files for him anymore and decompiling would break his face flexes.

I was disappointed no one spotted that editing error sooner.

I have no doubt the face flexes would be ruined by a hack. Shame. Although, I'm fine doing photoshopping head hacks for now.

[Reno360]

Looks great Ben, that just some sexy inflator work with that model or what?

So it's inflator/photoshop. I wish they were models. Nick looks awesome in one of those coats.

Sweet lighting.
