Flow in These Veins

Have you ever felt like you were a part of another world? A world so beautiful, so ephemereal it's impossible to reach and leaves you aching knowing that part of you contains it in a place where no one adores such a shining thing. There is no greater monument than the angelic blood that flows through these veins...and no greater sadness knowing you'll never reach that vibrant level just for being born what you are.

...An angel only in part.


A spur of the moment experiment in color pencil and watercolor that came out well enough to show! I do so love testing out new methods on my half-angel, Melakim. I wasn't entirely happy with Broken Chains so I decided to try my hand at Mae's shadow wings again. Watercolor definitely helps to make them more ethereal looking. Mae looks like a pretty boy without his scars showing. The horridly burned side of his face and body is on the right side. It's almost like a reflection of what he could've been....

This piece is amazing and the quote in the explanation cultivated very deep feelings of emotional attachment to the work. =)
