More angels This is Modesto, although others just call him 'Mo.' I based his wings off the white stork, and in terms of clothing, I kept his design plain and white, since I imagine him to prefer keeping things simple, and I associate him with white and the light. Appearance-wise, he conforms more to the stereotypical image of an angel than Ethelwin, but in spirit, he isn't much better than anyone else.

He's older than Ethelwin, and has acted as a sort of brother figure to him, although more often than not, it's been Ethelwin who's had to act like the elder, since Mo often acted childishly and irresponsibly, and was also typically rude and lazy. Still is, actually. Few others except Ethelwin can tolerate him, let alone like him, for despite their differences, they have a rather odd friendship, even if it mostly consists of Mo running his mouth off and Ethelwin calmly but scathingly putting him in his place whilst also kicking his ass into gear.

Since I've started creating more angels, I've been thinking of merging them with the Dadakkan world, to give them a counterpart, and a possible enemy. They'd be nearer to the base of the mountain range, though, where it's not nearly as cold, where there are trees, forests, etc. More world, race and culture-building still needed P: But I've got a name for these angels, just like the Dadakkans have their own - the Serangeli. Since they lived in a more varied environment, colouration in terms of hair, eyes and wings varies more, too. This all still needs more work, though.

Took me a while to realise Serangeli has the word angel in. Ahahahah -_- Cool name though. How do you pronounce it? I can't get it right in my head. Slow day
I love the idea of the Dadakkans having a mysterious enemy below them. Soounds fun. I think it would be fun designing the wings for each of them. Plus you can show off your fancy hair drawing skills with them flying.

I like his yellow eyes. And he's not your stereotypical angel which is cool.

Ser-ann-gel-eye or ser-ann-gel-ee. I'm not sure which actually >> I like both. But then the last one makes me think of jelly, so I think I'll be more inclined to the first pronunciation.

Heheh, it would be INSPIRE ME, NATURE. Although I've been also thinking of giving them tails and maybe markings so they look less human, but... hmm, I dunno.

Lol, fancy hair ~blowing in the wind~ Yeah, that'll be fun XD

One thing I think I want to keep constant for them is to have golden eyes. I dunno why, just something to compare the Dadakkans to, since (nearly) all of them have blue eyes. Plus, it's cool *shot* Maybe gold and silver, though.

Hahah I thought of jelly too....Don't like jelly.

Yes! Glittery golden eyes! xD
Markings would be great! Not sure about tails though... Wouldn't want them to look like a wacky furry. But I suppose if you did them right then would look original. *strokes beard* Perplexing indeed.

DominiqueDuong In reply to OliveArtOlive [2011-08-14 15:55:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I don't like jelly either XD Texture's funny and it's too sweet.

I dunno, tails could have a practical purpose. Like steering and improving flight. Or being prehensile >8) I'm still not too sure about tails, though, but I think markings would be a good idea.

Yeah, you have a point there.

You know I was listening to my iPod yesterday and I came across this song. I couldn't help but think of your characters. [link]
The two main singers at the end have such amazing voices. Although I have never ever heard a woman's voice go that high.

DominiqueDuong In reply to OliveArtOlive [2011-08-14 17:24:16 +0000 UTC]

... Oh, wow, these guys are amazing. Yeah, you're right, that woman's voice is going really high. How are her vocal chords are not breaking? And the song makes me think of a funeral. The music is still awesome, though. THANK YOU 8D *goes to Google these guys*

If I tried to sing that high all windows in a 3 mile radius would have shattered. And many, many ears would be bleeding. >_<
Unfortunately that's just a one off song. They haven't done any others like that. The rest is all screamo-ish stuff.

If I tried to sing that high, I'd tear my throat to shreds >> I couldn't do it even if I wanted to, my voice is weak and quiet. Just reading out loud non-stop for a few minutes will wear my throat out.
Really? That's disappointing What other musicians/bands do you like?

< That's me singing. xD Either that or the people listening.

I listen to loads of different genres so it's a long list. xD Anything I can either sing to or listen to while going to sleep. Right now I'm a bit obsessed with the Gorillaz (it's so funky ) and A Fine Frenzy. Her voice is so gentle and so are her songs.

'LAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- *shatters windows and ear drums*'

>> Don't kill me.

Same here X3 I usually like a lot of genres and artists, and I like instrumental stuff, too. I've heard of the Gorillaz, but they're not really my thing. Haven't heard of A Fine Frenzy, though o.o She has got quite a gentle voice, though.

Nightwish, Kamelot, Michael Buble, Within Temptation, Yuki Kajiura (composer), Kalafina, Secret Garden, Lady Antebellum... I think those are my core favourites. Heard of any of them?

OliveArtOlive In reply to DominiqueDuong [2011-08-15 19:22:01 +0000 UTC]

Fail. xD

But the Gorillaz are so .... druggy-ish! xD

Nightwish and Within Temptation are amazing. Do you listen to Nightwish's earlier or later albums?
I've heard of Kamelot but never listened to them and I don't like Michael Buble. Never heard of the others. *Youtubes*

Oh gosh Yuki's music is amazing. So is Secret Garden's. They're on my iPod already hahah
Kamelot are okay, I just have too many other bands like that already.
I've just fallen in love with Lady Antebellum too. Where have you and your amazing taste in music been all my short life! That's another hundred songs for my iPod. xD
Can't find any music for Kalafina though. >_<

Most of the heavier stuff I listen to has some good female vocalists. I think you might like these if you haven't already heard of them:
Amaranthe: [link] (I could marry her voice. xD)
Epica: [link]
If you like piano pieces Yiruma is amazing aswell.
Okay this is getting long so I'll stop. xD

DominiqueDuong In reply to OliveArtOlive [2011-08-16 16:24:23 +0000 UTC]

Damn it <<

Yeah >> Then again, I haven't really actively listened to them, just heard a few clips a classmate showed us, so I don't really remember. But I dunno, I just didn't like them that much.

I listen to both the earlier and later Nightwish songs. They both have really different voices, but that's the reason I like both Tarja and Anette. I can't wait for Imaginarium <3

Kamelot's pretty good, although I still think I prefer Nightwish. I'd recommend 'Anthem' ([link] ) and 'Love You to Death ([link] ).' They're a symphonic metal band.

You don't like Michael Buble? D: Why not? I remember getting into his songs when I kept on hearing his voice on the morning radio. Same thing with Lady Antebellum when they kept playing 'Need You Now.' If you like Lady Antebellum, I'd recommend Adele as well, particularly 'Someone Like You.' Do you listen to her?

Kalafina's a band put together by Yuki Kajiura, so their music and lyrics are all composed by her, and the blend of their voices is just gorgeous <3 I'd recommend:

Magia - [link]
Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa - [link]
Lacrimosa - [link]
Snow Falling - [link]

Ooh, I've heard of Yiruma as well. We must be... *drumroll* ... musical soul sisters <3 *hugs*

I don't know what it is about Michael Buble it just doesn't work for me.
I don't really like Adele either, I don't like her voice. The only song I slightly like is Set Fire to The Rain.

Yuki is a genius. One of her songs has already almost made me cry. xD
Kalafina's pretty good too. You're right, their voices do go well together.
O_O Kuroshitsuji again. It's back it's back it's back. How come every time I see that kid he's in a dress?! Good song though. xD

I find his voice really dreamy << It's thanks to him I discovered jazz 8D
Adele's not my favourite, but I still kinda like her, although it took a while of being bombarded with her songs on the radio.

Yuki really is a genius <3 Her music is always so beautiful and emotional. Which song are you talking about? So much of them could potentially make you cry XD

*cackles* He only ever crossdressed once, but that dress has become iconic >> More so than anything else he's ever worn.

OliveArtOlive In reply to DominiqueDuong [2011-08-17 20:22:36 +0000 UTC]

Hear Our Prayer is the first one. Makes me picture a kid crying because her house has been burnt down along with her life and her parents. Thats kind of sad but you know. xD

I can see that. xD Is that what he gets up to in his free time?

DominiqueDuong In reply to OliveArtOlive [2011-08-18 15:32:24 +0000 UTC]

Oh my God, I love Hear Our Prayer <3 It is a really sad song, though. Sometimes I'd listen to some of Yuki's pieces when I'm drawing, since her music is so emotional and yet varied - there's something for everything, if that makes sense XD

If by free time, you mean sneaking into a viscount's ball disguised as a girl so he won't be recognised as part of an investigation into Jack the Ripper, then yeah X3

You can say it's part of the effect XD

Lol, Ciel thought the Viscount might be a good suspect for Jack the Ripper, that's why >> He goes about wearing an eyepatch, so his aunt and a business partner dressed him up as a girl with the weird hat and hair covering his eye, since a boy with an eyepatch would be too noticeable as him and the Viscount might've cottoned on.

Oh yeah, and I listened to the Epica video. Wow, that song was aaaawesome <3
