I drew this after someone had described to me a tattoo that he wanted on his right shoulderblade. To be a guardian of what he did. This is what I thought it should look like...

I love the wings made out of birds! And i wanna see the one with wings made of butterflies! Best wings i've ever seen!

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "It's up around somewhere here... (the one with butterflies) but it needs work and a new scan job... thanks though! I appreciate your comments a lot! And maybe I'll redo the butterfly winged one!"

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Well I'm glad you do! for some reason I think it still needs something but I like the idea and glad you do too! Obviously... were you looking for one to get yourself? or just enjoy looking at tattoos? NEway, thanks for leaving a note! It's greatly appreciated!"

Kewl!!! Why doesn't she have a face? Its still cool! I like the sword!

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "She didn't want a face, trust me I tried! And the sword was a pain in the back! or the pencil, or actually my eraser! It shrunk dramatically 12</a></i>"

Great picture. It is exactly what I had in mind that my guardian angel looks like. Do you have any plans to color her?

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Nah, it's too old to dig out and colour... but I'm glad it looks like somome's guardian angel. It was designed to go on someones shoulderblade gaurding his gright arm... heh... And Basically I decided that I need some more practice before actually designing a tattoo... that someone will wear the rest of his life!</a></i>"

Love the idea of birds as wings.

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "That's really the thing that makes this picture what it is.. imagine her without them... it would be pretty boring! 12"

I have already seen this idea in elfwood with other artist Stephanie Pui Mun Law. Who is the original??????????

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "If it comes down to who was first? I think she must have been, but I didn't know her when I drew this, didn't even know about elfwood back then. So I suppose it's sortof original at least for me it was. But I wish it looked anything like Stephs! This one, if you read description above,was inspired by someone who wanted a gaurdian angel as tattoo, and a whole story attached to that, that's why I came up with the wings as they are, because they symbolized the fragility of what you always count on... can't really explain it. He could better! But thanks for your comment!

P.S.: I have one with butterfly wings as well but that one was older and so crappy I took it of two weeks ago! I might give it another try!"

I love the drawing...I am actually looking into getting a gurdiann angel as a tattoo. Do you have any more drawings you can share so i can get some ideas? Also love the birds as wings, great concept!!

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Nope, have no more of that, this was only once, and inspired by someone who described something like it to me."

I actually like this drawing, And I'm looking for a tattoo, Cause I recently lost a loved one, What I think would be a great idea is an angel bent down holding a scroll as gods rays are shining on him/her ( the angel ) and then you can be able to write inside the scroll . Do you have anything like that, if so can you please email me on that ......I would really appreciate it

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "HAve nothing like it, And would really like to try my hand at it, but there is no way I have time the coming month! I'm sorry, art can't be my first priority, but I'm honoured you ask!"

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "HEhe.. nice sword she says!! I'm gonna show my brother this.. he disagrees. acprding to him I can;t draw swords 2 YAY!"
