Melek Taus is the “Peacock Angel,” supposedly the name of the chief god in the belief of the Yezidi / Yazidi religion. Some people also say that it’s another name for Lucifer/Satan, but I’m going to stay out of that particular debate. In any case, I thought that a “Peacock Angel” would be a beautiful thing, if pulled off properly. This is my attempt.
Photocomposite: one peacock, three men (I think? it’s been a while), Photoshop gradiant work, blending, etc. One of my earlier works. Click the image to see the full-sized version.
