Description Concept
The original intention behind this piece was simply to tell a dear friend without words, that I was and will be there for her always. The easiest way to do that is to simply use symbols or people that we both tend to associate ourselves with, or in this case colors that are commonly used by us in rp characters but on an angel and a demon. Why an angel and a demon? Welp, I like drawing wings.

Medium
I'm a big fan of mixed medium to create the texture I need at the time. In this case the skin was pencil. The bat wings are actually watercolor, I was working at the time on seeing how well I could blend together two different mediums to where you can't tell where one begins and the other ends. The red wings are watercolor, as is the girl's red hair, but the black hair is just ink. The background is watercolor.

Awards/shows
Never officially shown anywhere.

Prints
Open edition in a variety of sizes available.

Original
Given to the person it was drawn for.

Side note
Yes this is another older piece. I noticed that it wasn't uploaded in my gallery when I was going through the art for necronomicon. I'm not sure WHY it's not uploaded, but I like this piece a great deal and so opted to reload it. New art will be coming once I move but I hope you all don't mind me reloading the older pieces that seem to have gotten lost to my gallery.

Nothing says awesome like lots of hair?

You and me both. You know,something that's stuck with me for years now is when a really, really, really famous artist who's name escapes me, gave my friend an award at dragoncon. The whole reason she got the award was because of the wings on the piece. He explained how they made him feel, and said it was just.. she wasn't drawing wings, she was using feathers to express movement and flow in the most unique way he has ever seen. I want to be able to use wings to express things as well, without them being 'stiff feathery appendages sticking off of someone's back'. Someday I'll find that way <3

I did always love this piece. I like the contrast between the characters, and yet the similarity in their emotions.

I didn't say you had your act nice and tidy and together. I said you were a beautiful person. There's a difference, y'know?
