Angels and Angels and Angels (and more angels)
Ah yes, Paradise Lost. Probably my favorite story of all time. It's just got that perfect blend of melancholy and biblical grandeur, man. It's good stuff. Paradise Lost is probably my biggest inspiration, right up there with Dark Souls and the Divine Comedy :^)
Here's a little doodle and a line snatched from Milton himself, probably my favorite line in this book, from when Satan tries to explain himself but Abdiel flames his ass with that divine wisdom.
Sure, angels have potential to be beautiful, but above all the cool things about angels, I love how melancholic you can go with them, and how deeply sorrow is expressed through them. (I swear I'm not a dark person I just like dark things bahaha)
Also this guy had a head at one point but instagram cropped it out, I kinda dig it tho. It suits him
Another cool thing about drawing angels is that you can pose them like drama queens and call it Renaissance
"Y'all wanna buy some bones"
((sometimes I like to draw creepy lil angel dudes, the kind you'd find at Broad and Snyder tryna sell you a cell phone and/or percocets. Or bones, idk. Depends on the day)
Sometimes they don't have wings at all. Maybe he used to
Sometimes it's just a lamentable day for everybody.
I imagine this one's neck flexible like the nozzle of a vacuum, don't even ask me why my imagination conjures up such bogus but here we are :D
"flutter on home"
Here we have our last Paradise Lost doodle of the day. They won't stop coming, I promise, I can't stop myself from drawing then bahaha
Hope y'all enjoyed the doodles, and if you haven't already, totally recommend checking out Paradise Lost, it's 10 books of straight fire I'm telling you
Peace! :^)
