Lovely wings 2

I got a thing for feathers I think...

It seems like flying would be next to impossible with 3 pairs of wings to keep track of.. But then, having grown with and gotten used to 3 pairs of wings, it'd just seem natural, I suppose... Anyway, with this picture, I get the feeling that you're trying to find ways not to draw the face. Shame on you! Never back down from a challenge! The wings do look nice! Maybe you should try a seraph in flight?? Kutgw!!

:-) Monika Henriksson replies: "Good guess but no! When a seraph steps in front of God it needs one pair of wings to protect the eyes and another to protect the feets from Gods holiness. The third pair is just for flying. They are alsow supposed to be genderless but I think I screwed that up by an accident and made mine a woman!"

this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.. well its really good. like the colors and the wings and the girl and the lines and everything..

:-) Monika Henriksson replies: "Mmmm, it's just to bad that the wings don't shows better... I'm really quite proud of them!"

Gorgeous! Your wings are lovely, very featherlike texture.

Now that you've tackled the human (the hardest one), why don't you go for the lion, ox, and eagle seraphs?

Your version of the seraphim is truly exceptional, you are a very talented artist. But there is one thing i have noticed; a seraph's wing are alight with the celestial flame at the tip of their wings, you have not pictured this, but no worries, it is a great picture.

well done!!!

Cripes no comments in over a year!? UNACCEPTABLE! this is a lovely picture! You even have the pair of wings covering their feet/head. I did notice that the ends of one pair of wings are smudged, did you use a painting program?

Heh.. those 'lion/ox/eagle seraphs' are called Cherubim; they are the order of angels below the Seraphim. They're only humanoid with four wings instead of six, but appeared to Ezekiel how they did for show - strength of an ox, wisdom of a human etc. Lovely creatures. < 3

You should indeed give it a go, though.. it'd be beautiful.
Love the wings on this one, though. They're quite impressive.

Looks as if it took you a while.
