Ohh man it's been a while since I've made an Art. I was a little afraid its been so long I would forget how to draw XD; My fingies have been itching to art something for a while now but all of my creative efforts have been funneled through writing lately haha

This is Nicolas, my cherub angel that guards (a section of) the library of knowledge in Heaven. Any knowledge that was feasibly comprehensible for humans he almost always had at his fingertips. As a cherub, he was a member of the 2nd highest tier of angel under seraphim– making him an angel that’s not just powerful and a member of some of the oldest living angels, but very loyal and unlikely to Fall. Before the library, he was stationed to guard the gates of Eden (with a flamed greatsword). Nevertheless, Nicolas has always had a great fondness and gentleness for humans and earthly things. The human experience fascinated him– the capacity to discover knowledge without it being handed to you is in its own way a very exciting blessing, and he doesn’t often get surprises.
This was part of an exercise on what would it take for Nicolas to Fall. After writing a very painful sequence with it was discovered yep, there would be at least one thing he’d Fall for. Pictured is an event after he sacrificed his grace and betrayed Him so that his unborn daughter could survive. He circumvented knowledge he wasn’t ‘allowed’ to see, and he fell very violently. Because the mind of a cherub is not built to Fall gracefully.
He’s always had a liking for piano because it brings him peace by reminding him of 'home’. After the Fall, he turned to playing piano in hopes it could bring him some solace in the darkest time of his life.
Except the ability to play piano was a borrowed talent and once he fell, that was taken away from him as well.
Some music that inspired this piece:
