Description “Then the angel Zachariel got a chance to speak, and she said, “I feel for these poor angels, the ones you have called Fallen. We have all only done what we feel is right. I am the mercy bringer, I only wish for peace, how can we treat these beings, any beings, so badly? They are not above us, nor are we below them, let them feel that no matter how much they hurt, we will only show them peace, mercy and understanding. Not just them; all beings, all the creatures of earth, should have the chance to say, ‘maybe we are not wicked.’ I want to show that nothing is truly alone or dejected, no one is ever forgotten, at least not to me. I want to show them they are important as well, that even the worst can be shown forgiveness.”

“So to her they gave the second heaven, Raquia, and charge over the Fallen angels that were not cast down. And she ruled a quiet heaven, draped in darkness and coloured by pain she felt, where she humbly shelters the Fallen, and all creatures, who were driven by hurt and she covers them in the sympathy and mercy they had need. And no one who came into her heaven with a memory left remembering anything at all."

Ahhh... the second virtue in =yami-caffeine and I's project! Yup, watercolor... they will all be watercolor.

Humility, marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful. The feeling of insignificance, inferiority, subservience to something seen as greater. This is the virtue of tender little Huine, The Enoch's healer. She's the youngest, but undoubtably one of the most powerful of the crew with a heavy arsonal of spells, but she is shy and tender, always hiding away and very conscience of herself.

She had a rough life, so bad that she actually doesn't remember a lot of it and she's a hurt little mystery to most everyone aboard. But instead of being fully shut down by it, it's left her with an amazing sence of sympathy and a need to show mercy. She's a real sweetheart.

Merry Christmas to btw! This is your Christmas present from me!! Toho! You get the original painting. XD because, ya know, Huine/Psyche is your little girl!

Oh, my adopted genius! This is gorgeous, honey! You already know how I love your watercolors, but your *choice* of colors on this is just...magnificent. Yes, the hair is beautiful, but I *love* the wings, and that superb purple-ish bg. Lovelovelove...

Awww!! My awesome foster artist! Thank ya honey!! So far she's probably the hardest paint job I have ever had to do... that background was insane, but her dress was harder ... the wings were just so much fun!!

Also, the emotion that comes across through this. I can't really describe it, but I like it. Well done!

Oooooo... very nice X3 And such a pretty border to compliment it! I also love the different colours in her hair and the way she's running her fingers through it like that ^^ She, as the others, sound really interesting. I look forward to seeing more of them!

miserythedrow [2006-12-15 02:45:34 +0000 UTC]

It really is beautiful. The hair and dress look so smooth and easy while the wings add just the right touch to keep it fantasy/otherworldly. Great work as usual ^_^

Wow, I just went and checked out her site, OMG!! Such beautiful work!! I wish I could watercolor like that T_T must... bookmark... But not where I got my background technique from. The watercolor artist that inspires me the most is Borychan right here on DA, go, look at her work, droooooool over it!

Phyrflie In reply to Blind-Leviathan [2006-12-16 04:44:07 +0000 UTC]

I shall go look her up then.

But yes, I love Amy Brown, her art is SO cute! But even though I love Amy Brown I have to say that Nene Thomas and Luis Royo are better, just in the way hey are able to capture the human physic and facial structure.

And they say, "Why worship you these false gods?
The true faith is awe for power
And begging for your forgiveness."

No, I think, you can't truly believe that.
I know I have invented mine;
They're what I wish myself to be.

So while you fret on the doorstep of death
I hope that I have lived life well.
If not, I know mercy's my lot.


I'm no poet, but there's no way for me to express what this particular concept/painting evokes. It's really a beautiful work. If I'm reading this right, all of these virtue things are actually real paintings that you do ever couple of days? That's quite amazing. )

Blind-Leviathan In reply to iyp080284 [2006-12-16 04:46:35 +0000 UTC]

Wow.... that poem... is so beautiful... If I could, could I please write it on the back of the original painting? That's so lovely and it's so fitting too ^^ And yes, they are all painting, about 4 x 7 except the border - that I do in photoshop.

iyp080284 In reply to Blind-Leviathan [2006-12-17 02:11:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah, you really think so? Maybe I'm not such a bad poet after all, given the right inspiration. ^^ Sure, you're welcome to put that on the back, I'd be flattered.

4 x 7 whats? Feet? Inches? Centimeters? Feet seems too big, but inches and cm seem too small, considering how much detail there is in this. But hey, what do I know? I may deny being a poet out of humility, but I deny being an artist out of experience. )

Oohhh~ Huine is such a little darling. ;w; I adore her. She's so sweet.

And so prettyyyy~ oh mah gahds she looks so gorgeous in this picture. I simply love her hair and her expression ... it's so sad and melancholic but calm at the same time. >: Ah, and all the beautiful folds and wrinkles in her dress, and how it fades into her Heaven ...

And don't even get me -started- on her wings OR the background. SOPRETTYWHAT.<3333 Totally freaking brilliant~

Blind-Leviathan In reply to Abaddon-ShadowAngel [2006-12-17 09:42:17 +0000 UTC]

Wow, ^^ thank you. I really enjoy this little angel, Zachariel just seems so distant and the heaven seems so lonely, I really wanted to catch that in a character, especially the part about not remembering anything once you leave

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Abaddon-ShadowAngel In reply to Blind-Leviathan [2006-12-19 19:38:32 +0000 UTC]

it does have that tragic beauty to it. though if you have no memory of the hevan when you leave how are you to find your way back?
(i also think Zachariel needs a hug )
