A 99% eternal of 13 lightnings (y/o) who arrived - again - on Earth to become a 100% devil. Miki has an impetuous and intimidating nature and she’s the most pragmatic member of her group of friends. She’s a great skater and never misses the opportunity to show it at school, speeding through the corridors and classrooms on her flying skateboard.

It took me quite some time to figure out devil Miki design.. BUT SHE'S HERE FINALLY!!! :D

Ngl, I'm so happy that I managed to complete all the character sheets for the main cast! It's really a milestone for me about this project since - well - the first ones were done in 2023 lol

But back to Miki! ∋━━o(｀∀´oメ）～→

I always imagine Miki as a very strong and edgy nature in this au of mine, and I love her direct character in the original comic, which I kept for her devilish version.

In addition to this, I placed an emphasis on her passion for flying skateboards, which is actually described in one of the short stories of the Angel's Friends books. I thought it was interesting to let Miki character create her own devilish identity on this passion of her ahah

I also wanted Miki to have an especially bold appearance, driven by the youthful grit of a teenager who thinks she can conquer the world. And who could stop a young devil like her? >:D

Now I just have to draw a nice character line up of all the little devils!! Dajeee ψ (｀∇´) ψ

Characters -> Sulfus - Raf - Kabalè - Ang-Lì - Cabiria - Mefisto - Gas - Uriè - Gabi - Miki

CLOSE UPS!

A rather OLD thing I did (like last year lol) while working on some creature concepts! I left this post forgotten among my Tumblr drafts because I wasn't so sure about publishing it, since this scene was further changed in my script.

So now bare with me while I share my notes and an old clumsy animated storyboard .3.

This was an initial idea about how Raf finds out about the existence of daimons, mysterious creatures that belong to the Place Among Dreams* (and that are supposed to be the equivalent—not entirely—of the Riviventi in the comic book). *I talked a bit about this place in a previous post, go check it out if you like ଘ(੭´• ᗨ•`)੭⁾⁾

Basically, strange things have been happening at school, causing chaos among all the eternal students (for example, Kabalè's animated origami seem to have gone crazy and various objects have disappeared, etc...). Raf, already suspicious of Sulfus (an angel student from a school on the Moon who is now on Earth for unknown reasons), decides to follow him, thinking he may have something to do with all this 👀

Now, here are some of the first concepts for the daimons! The ones who gave this au the name "Daimons Lullaby"! :D

Reviewing these studies I think I am on the right track. Although they quite resemble the idea I had in my mind for these creatures, I think I will continue to experiment a bit further on them! However, I wanted to share this post to introduce you to these creatures, so here we go with my old notes :D

Daimons are really strange and unique creatures: native to the oneiric world, but closely related to the earthly one! However, their presence on Earth is a danger, and the eternals can only interpret it as an ominous omen.

But what are these things? Well, they're like, a piece of a soul of living being of the terrestrial world, which represents their unique essence and inspiration! ✨

But why do they inhabit only the Place Among Dreams? No one really knows that! Eternal ones know of their existence and are aware of their power and influence, but other than this, nothing more. Especially since the place where these creatures are found is not easily accessible to the majority of eternals...

It wasn't supposed to be this wordy lol, but for those who have read all this so far... thank you and stay tuned!!✌️

Hey anna! Big fan of your swap au and i have a question about it. Do you plan on changing the humans too? Like is Andrea gonna be really honest? Just curious!

CIAOO! :D

So glad to have received your message, thanks a lot!! 💖🪽

And sorry for the late reply *sigh*

A super honest Andrea! Can you imagine??? XD It's a funny idea to think about, but my main concept is just redesign the main cast of the comic book serie. (I'm still debating myself to extend this idea to the professors as well ngl...)

I have other plans for the human cast tho! We already know very little about them in the comic so I thought this story could be the perfect opportunity to give them more chances to shine! ✨

Maybe I'll add something new to their design but their core and characteristics will remain faithful to the canon as much as possible!

Here! Some ✨ tasty ✨ sneak peaks 👀

I'm currently brainstorming important scenes for the au - while finishing Miki's character sheet -, and I had been working on these drawings for a few weeks ⭐

1 ) Raf and Raoul met for the first time (and Raf discovers that some humans really have no taste for fashion!)

2 ) This baby devil (did you remeber him?) has found something really important and can't wait to eat it!! Sulfus will have to trade it for lots of candy...

What's that thing? Well, I'll post something about it soon, I promise!

Ciao a tutti! 🌟 Some time ago, I came across this magazine, and for those like me who love comics and, specifically, the Angel's Friends series, it's definitely a gem! Between work and projects, I tried to find the time to edit and translate the article because I wanted others to learn more about the 2007 Angel's Friends series! In recent years, I have expanded my collection after finding many beautiful magazines (other than the comics) that I hope to share as soon as possible ✌️

Here is an article on the Angel's Friends comic book project published in issue no. 52 of Scuola di Fumetto (Jun. 2007), an Italian magazine dedicated to the world of comics. Inside, there is an interview with author Simona Ferri, who talks about the creation of the comic book series in 2007 (and very interesting concept art by Giada Perissinotto :D).

[ ITA ]

Tempo fa sono venuta in possesso di questa rivista e per chi come me è amante dei fumetti e, appunto, la serie di Angel's Friends, è sicuramente una chicca. Tra un progetto e l'altro, ho cercato il tempo di editare e tradurre le pagine perché desideravo che anche altri potessero conoscere qualcosa in più sulla serie di Angel's Friends del 2007! In questi ultimi anni ho ampliato la mia collezione, dopo aver trovato veramente tanti magazine bellissimi (oltre ai fumetti) che spero di poter condividere al più presto ✌️ Ecco a voi un articolo sul progetto a fumetti di Angel's Friends pubblicato sul n.52 di Scuola di Fumetto (giungo 2007), rivista italiana dedicata al mondo dei fumetti. All'interno troviamo l'intervista all'autrice Simona Ferri che racconta della nascita della serie del 2007 (oltre a diversi disegni e bozze realizzate da Giada Perissinotto :D).

Note: this is a fan made translation. Thanks also to the person who proofread it for me at times. However I'll update the files if I find other errors or anything else.

You can read the pages in original language and english here:

Proof that I'm not ALWAYS drawing about Angel's Friends lmao

This is just a random idea I sketched out, where I tried to capture the atmosphere of an original story of mine (which I've been working on for some time)! I really like the pose and the energy it conveys, so I thought it was more than righteous to share it here as well!

If you like, consider supporting me on my other socials too! .3. Thank you all so much, as always ❤️

Instagram & Bluesky's post!

I'm moving on to the next level!! 🌟🐲

[anna-naray]

excuse me,

I love your artwork and would like to ask for permission to share it on Lofter (a Chinese fan platform). I’ll:

· Credit you clearly (with your @username & original post link).

· Not edit or use it commercially.

Is that okay with you? If not, I totally understand!

Thanks for your time and amazing art!

Ciao!! 🌸

I dunno what specific artwork you're referring to, but you did right by asking first for permission to repost it elsewhere! :D

Unfortunately I don't know much about Lofter platform's management and policy, especially about artworks. I just know that it would be difficult for me to access the website and follow your repost there. I don't doubt your words of course, but I feel more comfortable to have my drawing shared somewhere where I can more easily interact with!

So I'm sorry but I prefer not to have my work shared on Lofter platform!

But if you happen to see some of my work without proper credits there too, please share my username and the original link of the post! I'd really appreciate it! :3

And thank you for your kind words! 💖

I gathered my courage to come and ask:

Is "Daimon's Lullaby" the official name of the Swap AU? 👀👀👀

It's been on the back of my mind to ask this since new year ahsjskjsab

Ciaoo Romy! It's always so nice to see your messages in my inbox! :D

Kinda!👉👈 The name is still pending, but it's the best idea I've come up with so far!

I think it works well because it gives an idea of the main theme of the story I have planned so far: dreams, the dimension connected to them + the creatures the protagonists will encounter in their adventures ✨

Also, every time I try to find something else, this name comes back like a boomerang! It must be a sign ahah
