Description The first in (hopefully) a series. + amolerouth and I were talking about zodiacs and the like, and it rather suddenly hit me that between mine and ~ PrinceAlucard 's characters, we have the entire zodiac covered. So RJ was kind enough to let me borrow some of his chracters and I set to work on this.

Meet Ori, my second angel charrie. He ties in with Adenydd's sotry, though I won't tell you how. He's an angel with a fire element (where as Adenydd's element is air) and is definately a little spitfire. ...and yes, he does look like a girl. Shh. Don't tell him. And don't tell him that the slits in his robes are far too revealing for any self-respecting angel. He might stop wearing them, and that would take away half the fun! ..and yes, for the record, my angel's wings are randomly flecked with feathers that reflect their element's color. Adenydd has blue feathers in his wings here and there... though usually I'm just too lazy to detail them in.

Yes, he does have a fire element tied to him--it has nothing to do with his zodiac... and yes, Cancer is a water sign, he's still got a fire element. Deal with it.
He is a Cancer with an Aries moon... which means he has the whole hearted devotion to his beliefs as a Cancer, but he aslo has the energy and temper of an Aries.
The background on this WAS silver and green, which is the Cancer's color, but so many people bitched that I'd got it 'wrong' because Cancer is a water sign that I changed it. I'll correct it again in the poster version.

Inked with technical pens, colored in Photoshop. Special thanks to +amolerouth for all the zodiac help.
Reposted because people were really pissing me off on the last one.

Please do not try and lecture me about zodiacs. None of these characters are 100% one sign, just as real people are very rarely 100% one sign. I've spent hours going over this with books on zodiacs, websites on zodiacs, and with + amolerouth , who is pretty much a walking zodiac encyclopedia. You may be well-meaning, but it will just piss me off.

I had to put this in my favorites. Not only do I really like the illustration, and the expression on the angel's face, but this happens to be my birth sign too.

Well, I am a Leo born on the Year of the Fire Tiger...whilst Halley’s comet was in the sky and on the year when there was a total solar eclipse and all the planets allined. Which means I am good in bed

anyway, moving on from bar chat up lines, you should link any other pieces like this to make the series...

Hello,

Oh wow this is a nice peace... and me loving anything with horoscopes and zodiac I had to check it out. Yeah I saw it the only thing I noticed was zodiac was the sign, good job for being creative... the angel doesn't have to match the sign at all it's just the sign that should stay close to its element. But I will only note for future refference not meaning to lecture you but just as a friendly informative note that if you get to Pisces (which is my sign) that it is a water element and the stone for it is aquamarine...a blue gem that is gorgeous. But I'm sure you will do your own thing being as creative as possible with it and I can't wait to see it when you get to it. Some good places to learn history of it are astrology.com and horoscopes.com. Anyways nice job with this keep up the great artworks.

Why'd they get mad about the silver and green background? >__o Cancer is ruled by the moon and the sea so the colors make sense. Oh well, it looks awesome. The only thing that's a bit off are the feet. They're kinda lumpy on top and kinda short. And the wings look floppy. Other than that, it's really awesome. The coloring is gorgeous, as always.

The soft colouring really fits the angel personna and the soft linear really adds to that effect.

Wonderful pose and the design rocks as well.

It might even make for an excellent quilting project some rainy day

Haha, yeah it's been a really really bad few days, so I'm uber-bitchy at the moment. But I think I've calmed down a good bit. Thank you very much for the kind words.
