Artist's Comments
~traumerai asked me to draw an angel boy. So, because I don't give a rat's ass of religious symbols and such, I did it my way. Don't you think it's ridiculous that angels are always pictured with separate hands AND wings? That makes them look like some fuckin' insects.
Sketchy, sketchy... HB pencil & scan cleaned with PSP 8. |

I have an unhealthy love toward Pikachu, lately.
And I like Peanut Butter and Ket-chup. o^o
angels having six limbs isn't really all that ridiculous, you know
as far as religion is concerned, christian angels are spirits that supposely can move from one place to another in an instant and so, long time ago artists started picturing them with wings - to symbolise the oability of freely moving through space
as far as peoples' mentality is concerned, even thought people do know that wings are just another set of limbs, they tend not to see them as limbs - meaning that they see wings as "wings" and hands as "hands" - two separate terms. that's why, to most of people, wings on the back of an angel aren't anything strange or ridiculous. to tell the truth, probably the only people who see it as ridiculous are those who seriously study biology. it's similar with people who seriously study chemistry (such as myself) seeing diamonds as scraps of carbon, rather than precious stones.
as far as common sense is concerned, wings on the back of a human body looks better and more plausible than feathers stuck to actual hands. i mean, for christs sake, who'd take seriously a picture of human flapping his hands like some sort of chicken heh
So, it's just speculation for fun.
Haha, I wouldn't take seriously a guy who'd flap around with wings coming from his back. It would look so unnatural. I mean, what is he, an ant? Hm, maybe not an insect, since they actually do have wings separate from their other limbs... Maybe angels would be more credible if they had insect wings instead of a bird's? Oh, but christians would get angry 'cos their beloved God's messengers would look like fairies. XD
What the fuck are we talking about? Seriously... Damn I love to bitch about stuff that doesn't matter.

i don't really think christians would care if their god's messanangers would look like fairies. the problem is that with insect wings angels would look like flys or moskitoes heh
