Yes, the action takes place in the coliseum and I watched the Gladiator movie to get inspiration.

Lawful evil huh. Interesting. I am curious about why you would view death as evil and not say neutral or good.

Your vision of the angel wings is amazing. I love the vibrancy of the colouration - so often the angels attributed with death are subdued, monochrome, the darkest end of the spectrum - but your use of blues and purples, whilst bright and almost vivacious, still has this beautifully subtle coldness to it. The detailing with the crowd and carvings is absolutely exquisite - totally in awe for that.

And that sky....I'm a sucker for a beautiful sky and this one is one of the best I've ever seen, even in reality. Amazing work.
