Description
I decided to draw something impractical and purely decorative after going though the gallery of *Wen-M . It was rather liberating. As a subject, I unburied a character named Colbain that appeared to me in a dream in 10th grade and, erm, spruced him up a bit. It was great excercise. :3Colbain (c) Rah-Bop

It's fun to do totally impractical and decorative from time to time.

Incredible artwork, though the background is a bit plain, it grants full attention to the main piece. This design isn't overly detailed, so the details that are in it are easily noticed.

He looks like the depiction of the types who do not follow a "white" or "dark" path....but both.

Bloody flippin hells 0.0 That's *good* Like everyone else, love the wings, I also like the way you subtly worked in skull designs on the staff and the black wing ^-^

I too, like the specific detail of the wings, but I also must mention that in all other drawings of black and white wings, the white is usually the feathered one. I personally like that black feathered bit and more broadly the uniqueness of this one; I have seen many other pieces of angels or anthros, but this one really stands out. It is a lovely concept and a wonderful picture. Very well done.

You did a lovely job. I love the wings.
Do you ever use him in stuff. Like stoires or RP. He seems like an interesting character to explore.

Nah. I'm not much of a writer and I don't have any interest in rp. Mostly I just draw him as the mood strikes me.
Thanks for the compliments. <3

Your detail is awesome!

Poor dragon-man. With all the bling, he'll never be able to flap those mismatched wings effectively enough to fly.

i love the detail and contrast in the picture and can see how Wen-M influenced it, and despite the impracticality of it all it still looks freakin' awesome!

Wow that's very beautiful. Love the texture of the wings you've given and the designs of the jewelery make it more interesting and pleasing to the eye. Not to mention your coloring of it.

The wings are so inventive! I've never seen anything like it. And I love all the little details.

Aw, thanks. I try to be constructive, and that was a good day for being articulate I guess. ^^ Actually, my (not so) inner science geek was looking at the clasps on his flight feathers and saying "Well, they're pretty and all, but they'll screw up his lift and everything! How will he fly?!" But the rest of my mind was like "Shut up" and sat on it. This sort of thing tends to happen to me quite often. -_-; I try to ignore it.

A very awesome character design. As someone above me in the comments noted, the color reversal on the angel wing and the demon wing is quite novel. The demon wing has very good details- the structure looks anatomically correct from what I can tell, and the veins are a nice touch. The feathers on the angel wing are the best I've ever seen. Their shape and the way the membrane folds and splits is completely realistic.
The only thing that seems off is the shoulders (they seem like they should be a little wider), but it's hard to tell with the armor.

Wow, could it be? A thoughtful and constructive comment?! I didn't know those existed on dA! I wish I could +fav a person. THANK YOU SO MUCH for such a lovely comment. I don't think I can even properly express how thankful I am for it. You're right, his shoulders are too narrow. I knew about various other stupid problems but I didn't notice the shoulder thing, thanks. :3
