At the Celestial Masquerade, angels dress as demons and vice versa. I think the masques give that away. This is sort of a mock up of an old Art Nouveau piece from the turn of the 20th century. The poses are the same but the original involved two human girls and no masques or lemon trees. This is coloured pencil on some wicked cool computer paper with a 'frame' around it. I got a complaint recently that there are not enough pretty black ladies in fantasy art so I personally want to do my part to rectify that!

Yay for you! We NEED more black ladies in the woods! Especially angels! I adore the idea for this too, angels as demons and vice versa. So much like real life.

I love the whole masquerade concept, it has a romanticism that is lost too often. Go you.

You are like, so AWESOME!!

Bringing forth and upholding the minority characters like this (I mean your last picture, and this one).

I promised I would say no more, because I would probably be upsetting someone... So, beautiful!

Though I like the red haired female better. I don't know, I just have a thing for red, green, and silver hair!

Your darker skinned female: She is equally pretty, but I think there might be something off with the shape of her head. I mean, the top. I would think it would be built up slightly more. It looks a bit... flattened. But still, Should be hanging in museum.

Yeppers.

This is great. I agree about there not being enough black people in Elfwood. If that is paper, then I have that frame in my sketchbook as well. LOL. If is a frame, well, I have it anyway. LOL. 1
