Sort of a re-introduction post to my art, since it has been a good while since I used to post frequently. Hi, I love angels, astrology, drawing furries, etc so I decided to combine all of those elements into a DIY special interest of sorts that I fondly refer to as "angeliverse".

These are some of the first angels I've ever drawn, I probably started drawing them about 4ish years ago? Maybe?? I don't always draw them with wings (they are now retractable in-lore) as to focus on their designs more, but I make sure to include their halos at least.

Anyways, this is the "aries" group belonging to the fire element, featuring the following angels and their respective subelements: 1 - time angel - electric subelement 2 - trust angel - heat subelement 3 - shape angel - heat subelement 4 - treasure angel - light subelement 5 - drive angel - electric subelement 6 - wish angel - light subelement

I hope to post a bit more soon (both lore and art) in between studying for uni, so I'll see you around!

Part 2 outta 12 of this series, say hello to the "taurus" angelic group and therefore all belong to the earth element as a whole. From 7 to 12, they are as follows: 7 - script angel - stone subelement 8 - land angel - stone subelement 9 - mercy angel - plant subelement 10 - chance angel - metal subelement 11 - energy angel - metal subelement 12 - dream angel - plant subelement

See you next time for the "gemini" group!

Angelic ranks. This isn't entirely to scale, angels tend to be abour 4ft~ and archangels tend to be about 10ft~. I also couldn't fit in the serapth for the time angel line, so I'll post them separately when I get around to it.

The life cycle of an angel is pretty simple- they don't die from old age, so they simply live until they are killed. A new angel will not really have any personality or individuality, but they tend to develop this stuff and change their appearances from the default the longer they live and spend time working on earth.

As for archangels, there's 3 per angelic type (1 for each variant in that type, and 216 total). They are mentors and managers for every angel in their subgroup, and tend to stay in heaven MOST of the time as to not do too much damage to the earth with their amplified power. If an archangel falls, an angel from the same variant is selected to take their place (sort of like bee larvae being selected to be fed royal jelly). All archangels are more humanoid to a degree, however none of them have ever looked the same as their appearance changes to match what values and traits they embodied most strongly. Due to this, when you are looking at religious or historical artwork/literature, you can often tell which archangel is or was in power from the way they are described or drawn. But only an angel could actually tell you more, human accounts tend to be very… vague.

Here's the OLD 2021 version of this, just for archival and comparison purposes. Different angel type too of course (drive angel).

The Blood & Holy Water campaign has ended, and the post-campaign preorder store is now open. I have three more Zodiac Putti pins available for preorder in the store.

Although this series hasn't been very popular, I'm determined to finish it. I'd also like to make custom pin banners for both the Zodiac and Astrological Putti sets so if you've been collecting them all this time you have a nice place to display them. You can expect those sometime early next year!

"Ok, ma'am that'll be $226.03."

I take my wallet out of my pocket and unfold it. It is empty other than a single moth that lazily flies out. The moth lands on the tap point of the card reader. There's a beat, and my payment is processed. The moth flies back into my wallet and I put it back in my pocket.

The kid clears his throat. “You’ve got something on your…”

He points beside his nose. Johnny grunts in acknowledgement, makes a halfhearted effort to wipe the blood from his face, and tries to place the kid’s accent. Nothing American, for sure.

“Fuck you want?” Johnny mutters

My pokémon trainersona Moe (he/him/she/her). I'm doing a platinum run atm because I have the bug to play pokémon at uni, and it helps me play "dollhouse" with my ocs lmao. I use my team as angel oc prompts. I will post more about the angels later with lore, but for now you can have this:

Angel, Archangel, Principality

Since the planets theme was popular in the poll, I've decided to do some alternate colorways and themes a little inspired by the planets, while still keeping the winning cosmic horror theme.

The horns on Angel are inspired by the symbol for Mercury.

Principality's flail references Earth's Moon :))
