Artist's Comments

Just a few angelic side characters in Strange Fruit.

This was originally going to be colored, but I like the way it looks now, so I stopped. I think I like it black & white so much because of the contrast in Raziel's suit. Raziel is pretty much my favorite part of the picture, which is funny cause I sort of just tacked him onto the end, seeing as he hasn't been mentioned yet. I didn't include the angels wings because it would have cluttered up the page too much. -_-'

Raziel: is a Cherubim. The book he's holding is the Book of Raziel (his Halo.) Obviously it was written by him. I guess you could consider it the perfect version of the Bible, as it is the word of God from His mouth. Unfortunately it's in a language so complex, that only Raziel and Metaron (the Archangel of the Cherubim choir) can read it. He dresses pretty smart for an angel doesn't he? ^__^ I really like his eyes.

Israfel: is a Throne. He helped the Archangel Uriel break Azriel's halo. He's fairly harsh and judgemental, as it is a personality requirement to be effective in his rank. I like how he turned out, very clean and simple, and his Halo (the thing he's holding) turned out quite nicely too.

Uriel: The Archangel of the Thrones. Charged with performing the ceremony for Azriel's Fall. I'm not entirely happy with the way the hair covering her face turned out, but I like her body lanaguage and her left arm for some reason.

Morpheus: the Virtue of Dreams. Yes, not a very angelic name, but some of the angels that had a more active participation in the work with Humanity, were recognized as gods in and of themselves. Morpheus took a liking to his name from the Greek myths, and stuck with it. I like the glowyness of his hair. Other than that...not so much.

I'm sorry, this has gone on way too long, I'll stop now.

Yeah, Israfel's Halo turned out pretty well, considering all I did was randomly add lines to it. heh heh

Uriel and Raziel are both character in Angel Sanctuary as well.

That's not surprising, considering Raziel and Uriel are two of the few named angels in the bible. They're practically necessary in ANY angelic story, aren't they? ^__^
:iconbleedingwoundedheart:
Yeah, pertty much... and I've fallen for the Uriel in AS... you should read it. Great manga. :P
He's mah love. They cast him as the Archangel of Earth and Hellgate Guardian. There's a drawing of him in mah gallery.

I saw the anime a really long time ago, so I don't remember it very well. But I've seen art for it, and its quite pretty. I'll have to check out the manga now though, Uriel seems pretty badass. Thanks.
:iconbleedingwoundedheart:
You're welcome.
He IS pretty badass. My three favourite characters are Uriel, Rosiel/Katan, and MadHatter AKA Beliah.
