You will probably notice this drawing does not have the same level of detail as my most of my other illustrations in my twine series. And the basic reason is because of the size that I am working with here.
This is another one of my attempts to adjust my twine series into the small ATC format. It always proves to be a challenge for me, as far as getting the detail that I would like, but I believe...through many baby steps, I'm slowly getting there
I just wished I had smaller pen tips that would not clog up after a day or two of use.

Very interesting work. Do you know RedTweny ? He also creates some very striking images.

Ah yes...I've seen him around. I think he is in one or two of the groups I'm in.

I could learn a lot from you. It's weird I made the exact same drawing with the pose, wings, horns, head down and everything; except it was female... just a coincidence doesn't have any real meaning 
You probably took a great amount of time progressing, I admire your work.

Wow...thank you! Your work is very interesting and unusual, and you have good technique. I'm honored by your compliments

Oooo, I just had another thought after I posted this comment. In the background you could have one of your twine winged fellows with a space where his heart is (him kinda clutching the area) with a mortified look on his face

Well, I appreciate the thought and idea, however I don't think it would fit well with the rest of my twine series. The series actually got it's start from a few dreams that I had, and they were a little dark. It's sort of a personal area of my art, a style I developed by twine beings that appeared my dreams, whereas I most likely would not take suggestions because it has to come from within. ( hope that doesn't sound too weird )
What you suggested sort of sounds like a fun and playful idea, but really, my other drawings in the series aren't like that. I think it might take away from the meaning of the other pieces.
Also, I have noticed that I don't really have any block when it comes to my twine series ( at least, not lacking for ideas)...I have an endless amount of ideas where I want to take it, in fact, I'm working on one this evening.
My block usually comes with drawing lighter stuff, and ATCs...or anytime I feel obligated to make something ( which is why I'm taking a little break from ATCs). Raziel is the last one I will do until at least this first drawing in my new set is completed. I usually fair much better when I don't feel any constraints or pressures, and when it comes to this series, I feel free to take my time and do what I like ( I don't have to worry about whether or not it's going to be something someone wants to trade for). I'm in the beginning stages of a very big project with my twine series right now, and it's going to take quite some time to complete it all...probably a year or more at my pace. I will probably do an ATC or two in between these works.
But thank you so much for the thought, and I hope that you don't take offense that I don't think I can use your idea for my series.

Well, I did take the name of the angel from the Sefer Raziel HaMalakh, but this drawing is of an original character. Well, actually, it seems weird for me to say that, because I don't think of my drawings as " characters "...however, this is the way the DA category system is set up.
I just used that name, and I actually chose it after the drawing was complete. It's funny too, because I draw quite a few of these winged beings, but I never really thought of them as angels, heh heh. I don't really know what they are.
Also, there are only 4 subcategories under drawing/fantasy, and I don't think it would fit under any of the other 3 ( animal characters, manga & anime, and sword and sorcery). To be honest, I never really know where these drawings fit in the DA file system.

Ah,I was just interested,because a lot of angel names end with -iel (Lumiel,Gabriel...).
I do understand what you mean-I only used the term "original character" because I couldnΒ΄t think up any better term
It seemed like an angel to me because of the wings in combination with horns + the -iel in his name 
IΒ΄m glad to hear IΒ΄m not the only one-I hate the DA subcategories.Just because IΒ΄m still learning and stylize realism up a bit doesnΒ΄t mean IΒ΄m a manga artist

Yeah, I think they should at least add the " other " option under fantasy. They have to realize that not everything fits under those 4 sub-categories. Sometimes I was tempted to list them under surreal, but I don't know if that is quite the right fit either.

I hope some admin ( or however they call the upper people here) will read this and soon weΒ΄ll get a good laugh at a new category
I list almost all of my drawings under surreal.Crap,I know itΒ΄s not surreal but itΒ΄s neither any fantasy Gandalf dancing on a dragon,so which category should I put it under?Under Culinary arts or what
