"And the malach said to them, be not afraid; For behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people;"

This is my submision for the "let's get weird" render contest. A representation of what a flock of angels may look like when they descend from the heavens and why they have a good reason to tell you to not be afraid.

Everything was created inside blender using geometry and shader nodes, the angels, the terrain, the portal, etc. Everything except for two things. The character model in the image which was taken from sketchfab, more specifically its this model: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/shepherd-0fa42f5b83084f0eb32533b760c8d146

And the moon image which was downloaded from deviantart.
