Edge of Thorns 3 - Pt 19Part 19
He seems to have a handle on things, and I can summon back up if it's needed, for now, I think it's best I just stay back.

The writer quickly nodded and moved back, sliding towards the tool shed and away from Alton while the angel threw his second attack. The flames didn't even reach their target, intercepted by the figure's own assault. The emerald bolts of electricity met the blue orb of fire midair between them, exploding in a brilliant burst of light, briefly illuminating the other angel. Nathan squinted his eyes against the blinding flash, but only caught a glimpse of the angel's light tunic and dark wings. Alton, however, see

Edge of Thorns 3 - Pt 18Part 18
She's probably not in the living room, but we should split up to search the other places...

The writer scanned the room quickly. "She couldn't have gotten too far, but let's start on the outside and work our way in. We know she's not in the kitchen, and it doesn't look like she's here." He turned to the other two. "Enya, check downstairs and make sure she didn't head outside."

"On it," she agreed, hurrying through the open door and down the steps.

Nathan looked at the angel. "Micah, if you could take the apartment..."

"I will start start in the bedroom," he said with a slight bow of his head, also noticing it was the only oth

Portrait REDUX: Gabriel Blackby *Cei-Ellem

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Characters / Male

UPDATE: A new version of the hair model I used came out, one that actually fits the model, so I rerendered. Tweaked the colors a little more too, and I must say I'm very satisfied with the results.

UPDATE AGAIN: More lessons in lighting! Because I have to render Gabriel three times (for his hair to color correctly), I had to make sure the lighting settings were identical. That was fun, getting it to look proper with all three different colors. I ultimately used the base render (with black and silver) as a reference point, then tweaked the other two to match. Only photoshopping here was the combining of the three renders and very, very slight color adjustment.

Gabriel got some new clothes! And a slightly different pose from the original. Though I like the mystique of the first version, I love how his warmth comes out here. I still have to make three renders to do his hair (stupid texture), but it is always well worth the effort.

And now Raphael won't stop bugging me about another render...

Your abilities to render depth of character with your ocs is really coming along. (which is too bad, as I personally prefer your drawn characters.) but it'll be interesting to see how they've developed a ways down the line.

Thanks! ^_^ I'd like to hope I'm improving. I wish I had more time to draw, but I don't even have a scanner to get them into my comp anymore.

He looks very masculine here. Well in body type. His face is very androgynous.

He looks awesome though, and he does look warm.

*Cei-Ellem Jan 17, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Naturally, he should look more masculine in his human guise. At some point, I may true doing their angelic forms, but that will take a lot of effort on my part for sure. I'm just glad I was able to keep the androgyny in his facial features, at least.

And Raphael is telling me to warn you: touch at your own risk...

~UltimaMage578 Jan 17, 2013

Yes. He is very androgynous in the face.

Why would I wanna touch death? If I touch death, I die.

*Cei-Ellem Jan 17, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

There's a loophole to that (not counting the guardian one) that I think he's worried you'll try to exploit. Because Gabriel is very pretty...

~UltimaMage578 Jan 17, 2013

I'm not in the story... am I? lols

I try not to touch the angels. Especially Gabriel. Although I like loopholes.

But I am not in the story... even so, I had no say in it.

*Cei-Ellem Jan 17, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Lol not being in the story certainly didn't stop your eyes for Alistair, heh.

~UltimaMage578 Jan 18, 2013

Alistair was so pitiful! And he's more my type. I have a large preference for black hair and blue eyes.

Not the Gabriel doesn't have thing going for him. I'm just very caring. Plus mortal angel relationships don't work out. The angel sacrifices their immortality and job and then like dies three seconds later, or the mortal becomes embroiled in some Heaven scandal, and that's just too much for me.

Plus Raph said do not touch.

*Cei-Ellem Jan 18, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

*snort* Good on you. Actually listening to Raphael. Though I wonder how he will be perceived once he makes his appearance.

And pardon my pun, but playing Devil's advocate here: sans the angelic thing, Alton has the black hair, blue eyes combo too.
