The traditional piece for my Patreon!  I really need to start doing colored traditional art more. I’m sooo out of practice. 

She’s done in copic, ink, and watercolor pencil! 

If you’re interested in a high res version as well as tons of other goodies, definitely check out my patreon page! (Now you don’t even have to be worried about being charged extra fees! 😛 )

Another mini poster that’s currently available on my etsy page!

Baraqiel, The Living Vessel

https://www.angelarium.net/grigori/#/baraqiel-angel-of-lightning/

The rituals Baraqiel performed were an object of fascination for both
men and Angels alike. He brought to them the gift of tamed lightning.
Despite the widespread appreciation for the fruits of this work, few
volunteered to assist. Baraqiel was known not only for the power he
commanded, but also his lack of respect for it. His fall was the first
to prove that Watchers were not complete in their wisdom or their
immortality.

鲛人/Jiaoren: The Chinese mermaid. In addition to their beautiful appearance, jiaoren are also outstanding craftspeople. According to “In Search of the Supernatural/搜神记”, a 4th-century compilation of legends about ghosts and spirits, jiaoren lived in the South Sea, spent their days weaving cloth, and if they cried, their tears would turn into pearls.
