Fiery Archangel

Description

Yeah, that place called church? The one that my husband tends to sleep through? Yeah. I'm normally a very good, attentive little girl during service, but the second that we start focusing on any messages from the book of Revelations, my attention kind of...drifts and I start drawing.

Man it's been almost five years or more since I really drew any angel characters seriously. Jayson doesn't count, because he's Fallen. But it's been years since working on the Devil's Wish project in high school and researching deep into angelology, and in the time since I've had little desire to draw any angels, despite my love for them.
But I've always found the angelic hierarchy interesting. Someone once posted an amazing picture here on dA with chibi and tinier representations/personifications of the different ranking angels, and despite the fact I cannot find it any more and I don't remember the name of the artist who made it I thought it was incredibly beautiful and fascinating, and the artist followed a depiction of the archangels that I've always read in all my research. Archangels, it seems, have a particular look of supernatural, towering beings of holy fire. Hence, that's probably in part why every single angel listed in the Bible to appear before humans always says "Don't be afraid!" before they deliver any other message. Because dang, I'd freak out.
Mind you, I was saying all this to :iconyezno: and his little brother as I drew this imposing angel, and we jokingly came up with the notion that angels that keep up with the times would probably appear these days saying, "Yo, guys. Chill, it's cool. Calm down." :XD: Yes, I know, I'm terrible.

ANYHOW. Not sure what I'm going to name this guy. I'm pretty darn certain he'll appear in my original writing, though. He seems just too fun not to use, now that I've drawn him.

Awesome design, he's looking very intimidating there and looking very capable of kicking demonic tail if need be.
heh ^_^ For some reason where ever I hear about the Archangels' "Fear Not/Do not be afraid" habit I picture one coming down in modern times and saying that to someone, only to have that someone freak grab a fire extinguisher and hose the unfortunate angel down with it trying to put out the "fire".

Could this be the pic you were thinking of? [link]
