Thank you. I think it's one of my better efforts, and all the moreso because I managed to get it done *quickly*.

Wow, the texture on those fluffy wings is gorgeous, as is the way you shaded everything.

Pfft. Whatever. I'm feigning disinterest and boredom to mask feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. Deal with it. I'm out.

That's really lovely. Elegant, graceful, and harmonious just like the holidays. I love the mixture of colors and shading. You did the lighting so beautifully, and that wash? in the background allows the angel to stand out nicely.

rachaelm5 In reply to Salmoyt [2006-12-03 19:38:22 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. That particular elegance is something I try to achieve with this series, specially for the holidays.

rachaelm5 In reply to Bhryn [2006-12-03 16:50:16 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I figure that most of my family probably doesn't want to receive some slavering, drooling monster on their Christmas card, so angelic references are a better bet.

Bhryn In reply to rachaelm5 [2006-12-03 18:40:25 +0000 UTC]

Tch some people are so picky. I would love a slavering, drooling monster for christmas.

ON. MY. CARD.

You mean you wouldn't like a *real* slavering, drooling monster in your stocking? Even a bitty one?

Angels are good

I like how you did the illumination and the feather textures especially

rachaelm5 In reply to JadeThePredator [2006-12-03 16:51:55 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I have positively identified my feather thing as an obsession.

Angels are *wacky*. Good, but wacky. Ask any of them.

dragonmajik [2006-12-02 22:51:34 +0000 UTC]

I like the spiraly-shell like structure of the feathers as the repeating motif there! And you did a faboo job with the lighting on the angel's face and hair.

I look forward to receiving this card

rachaelm5 In reply to dragonmajik [2006-12-03 16:59:50 +0000 UTC]

Thankies!

I seriously doubt that someone could fly with feathers structured this way, but it's MAGIC!

*Angel whapps Rachael upside the head and whips out an illustrated, step-by-step demonstration of Angelic Laws of Physics...*

Oooookayyyy... Like dragons, angels seem to be driven by the *other* laws of physics, and they apparently can fly with fluffy-curly feathers just fine, thank-you-very-much.

rachaelm5 In reply to Raptor-Chick [2006-12-03 17:01:28 +0000 UTC]

LOL - It's definitely a different thing from my ususal toothy fare. But that's part of what makes this series so much fun. Thanks!

Oooo~! this is certainly an interesting picture~!
I like those wings, man!
with all the glow around, and seeing her expression, I'd say the picture looks kind of holy. ^^
nice job!

rachaelm5 In reply to bezzalair [2006-12-03 17:02:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

It's about as close to holy as I ever get, and it makes a nice shift from my ususal fare.

Then again, most of my family doesn't want to receive Predators or skulls on their Christmas cards...
