That title seems like an oxymoron

Anyway, another demon. This one was just an angel before he was reincarnated. Angels in my stories aren't normal angels, that's just the name that humans assigned to them during the war that Telenari was created in the middle of. If they had to be anything, their maker would be more equatable to the devil.

I could write pages and pages on Tele (he's the 'protagonist' of his own story and one of my favorites). Suffice to say that he was bound to the main antagonist in his story, and killed a lot of people.

He's probably the most symbolically represented of all of them, because that's how his mind works. I'm drawing them all in pretty much hanging in some sort of spirit plane, and Tele looks younger than he actually is because he feels younger/lost, his further wing is going to be very blurred, and his clothing is a medley of what he wears as a demon and what he wore before he started training.

He isn't very enthusiastic about the whole teacher thing. And is even less enthusiastic about Zasha, but he was the only demon of that element that had the chance of a snowflake in hell of gaining her respect, mostly because one of the things that haunts them both is whether or not they have a soul (or in Tele's case, a whole soul. It's complicated). And because they both kick ass.

Critiques are , and much much needed. I don't draw wings often and these suck O.o same with his feet, advice would be awesome.

Asbeel Says:

Wings are always tricky; I've been drawing wings since 2000 and I still don't have a complete hang of them. If we go with laws of physics, the wings should be somewhat outstretched as though in mid beat to give the feeling that he is hovering; otherwise the pointed toes appear strange. Here's some great reference sites/images for wings:

My biggest critique is the right arm; because of where you put the bend (the forearm being more forward) it looks awkward. The bicep should be longer (when bent completely, the palm of the hand would be about the same level as the shoulder) or the shoulder should be higher up. The feet don't seem too bad, just a little flat, but those take practice.

Otherwise, you're off to a great start!
