Description "Raguel is the archangel assigned to watch over the good behavior of other angels. Raguel means "friend of God.
1 Enoch describes him as one of four great archangels who watch, along with Michael, Raphael, and Suriel, and one of the holy angels "who take vengeance for the world of the luminaries." Enoch calls Raguel the Angel of the Earth. He also is a guardian of the second heaven, ruled by the archangel Raphael, which is a penal colony where fallen angels await judgement. There, Raguel is instrumental in meting out judgement to erring angels. Raguel, like Uriel, was another of the seven angels removed from the ranks of the Church's recognized angels at a council in Rome in 745 under Pope Zachary." -angel books strewn about my floor


Yay! another one in the series finished. :3 *gleee*
Raguel is "The Judge" to me, so I wanted to give him certain little symbols of justice on him, but nothing too obvious. if you can pick them out, yay! Though I how his wings came out the best ^.^

I am REALLY proud of the coloring on him. u.u (for the moment at least)

drawn by hand, colored in photoshop 7 blah blah blah.
I'm not sure where I found the brushes I used for the tatoos but if you see them and recognize them as yours, once again, let me know and yee shall be justified.

questions/comments/all around thwumpings welcomed ^.^
Raziel comes next.

Changed my mnd; Raguel has the most awesome-looking wings. EVER. They totally frickin' RULE.

I just love the detail you put into the angels! The shading on the wings, the little elements here and there...I also like that while he's the Judge, he nonetheless appears kindly deposed towards the viewer, just like a proper angel.

Come to think of it, he's kind of got a tribal look there. I still look at his wings and think they look a bit like they could be dangerous, somehow. The feathers also seem vaugely similar to peacock feathers, I think.

I really like this series of angels you've made. I particularly like this one of Raguel and his wings are what I like most about him. The descriptions are pretty helpful, too. Since you seem to be into angels, you should check out Bobbin's gallery if you haven't already. There are some very good angel pieces there.

Pretty damned impressive! 2 tiny suggestions from my infinately limited knowledge about this sort of thing... ho ho
Put some of that increidble detail a bit more into his belly, there's nothing there!
Maybe make the neck muscles less pronouced, it looks like he's having a baby.
Otherwise, feck me. That's an amazing ....thiNG

WOW! This one is great! I am shocked by all the detail on the wings! Outstanding!! You'll pardon me if I don't want to like it. One humble comment ... He looks like he is well built only there is somthing strange about his ab's. maybe a little shadow to show a hint of muscle? Only a thought babe! Come down and see M & I soon. Truly another masterpiece of color and awesomeness :}.

Can't wait for the others... Oh, there's also a matter i'd like to talk to you over aim about.... call it a proposition, and a most plaussible future project for OAP Studios... since after hearing about from Nichole, Liz has desided to claim it for OAP Studios... And I would like you to be apart of it as well. I'll talk to you more about it over aim later.
