This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed ๐ŸŽจ

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Had to upload this in .jpg form because Lemm.ee kept saying itโ€™s too large, I hope the quality isnโ€™t eaten too much!

The hardest part was by far getting the metal rings to look right!

This might sound like a criticism but I promise that its not. I really like how the wings are just behind the angel no matter how the rings are oriented. They work like the halo that is always behind the persons head no matter how they turn their head.

I also like that it's a chain rather than the normal ball off rings. It feels original.

Yess! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I've seen depictions where the wings are always behind the angel like that, and I personally really like that look, even if it may look a little weird! Biblically accurate angels are just weird in general haha, but that's what makes them so great. Thank you so much!!

Wow we see so many depictions of these, but never in combat! Really cool design, I love how you interlocked them.

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you like it! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I had an idea of a wounded angel in my head for a while, and originally it was going to be two or three rings in total but I eventually settled for four since it'd more easily allow for a landscape format, and I love painting things which overlap with one another!
