Sketched lucifer while listening to the 'angels before man' audiobook and decided to turn it into a complete illustration ✨️
A lot of trial and error when diving into a new thing– But for a first try, I'm pretty happy with this 🙂↕️
(Next time I actually might have to look for some clothing and jewellery references though 😭)

hello!! special edition!
Angels Before Man is turning 2 years old (from its original release) and around 3 from its original drafting! i decided to make a special version with art by the incredible @ikkihuikki , an embossed cover based on the one I made to print the draft for myself, an introduction/retrospective, a bookmark with art by @duckhymn, a random surprise thing, and my siganture! ive never offered my signature before but i figured why not.
you can get it here:
Pre-orders open until I run out. More shipping info to come! I had a good idea but ive been increasing stock! I'll keep all buyers informed though

Michael from @nicosraf s Angels Trilogy 🫶
#I keep thinking about that post about how Michael wishes he was an insignificant angel so he could’ve had the freedom that Baal did#and how the sword of god can only ever be one thing#gon dammin#it makes me so sad#like he can never belong to anyone else#angels and man#angels before man#mine#archangel michael

“This, this here, could be worship. ‘This—’ Lucifer pressed an innocent kiss to the prince’s sweet, divine mouth. This could be religion.”
― rafael nicolás, Angels Before Man
I've been reading Angels Before Man again and it has made me cry just as much as the first time. I think about Lucifer pretty often and the fate he's been saddled with, I figured he's due some righteous anger

I think this is the first time as an adult I've made fanart for a book. So like- you know it's gotta be good.
Pretty please go read angels before man by @nicosraf ! It's absolutely gorgeous and got me down so bad for the idea of ftm Lucifer; also lots of plant symbolism 💖
He's 8.25 x 11.25" watercolor

hello. new book releasing on December 20th
Horns For Hell is a short (150 page) book that takes place in between Angels Before Man and Angels & Man about the demon Rosier trying to find some happiness after falling from Heaven. It heavily features his very troubled relationship with Asmodeus.
Pre-orders for the ebook are already open on Amazon, with other sites to come. The paperback cover will come later, but here's the ebook cover by @/wirovin on twitter! ->
And here's the link:
I know I've posted pretty liberally about this book here, so it shouldn't be a surprise but I hope it's still a little exciting! Content warnings will come in a later post, but they shouldn't be too different from the main book warnings. I really hope people like this book! Thank you!
and if you've ever thought "I wanna see more of Asmodeus and Rosier" while reading the main books in the series, well now you're going to be sick of them

death of the divine ✸
as your flatter talk shivers down my spine i hear the Holy One exposing all the lies (Lord, forgive me, i know my flesh needs to die) x
baal / lucifer / michael from angels before man and angels & man by @nicosraf
close-ups + work progress under the cut
og sketches
cleaned up sketch (i can't perceive my own messy sketch's coherency ok)
1st version. didn't like how thick the lineart and the colour palette isn't clicking with me. is so i scrapped it. decided i want to do frame/illuminated manuscript thingy so i added frame and re-centered michael.
i kind of winged it for the final version, so i don't have progress of me picking colour palette or compositions. idk how i did it, i just did it, it was hard. i had a bad day so i blanked out the entire day to just lose myself in this illustration. and then uh. tada.
now some close-ups:
and some notes:
i know i want lucifer's skin to come across as "gold", so i keep picking his colour in the orange spectrum. bcs yanno--the sun (morningstar). naturally baal is more red leaning, which i think also suits his lion associated imagery well (because lion -> strength card (in tarot deck) -> red. idk, it's how my brain is)
originally michael doesn't wear an armour. i decided last minute to put him in one because fuck it; (1) armour cool and (2) i am a masochist ig
both baal and lucifer wear lipgloss. this is entirely dedicated to rafael's (the author. not the angel.) suffering. they share lipgloss by kissing, you fools.
michael has "jellyfish" hairstyle because. the front bob kinda reminds me how catholic friars/monks in certain schoolings cut their hair in that bob hair? yknow the one?? ya?? anyway it's for that imagery.
both baal and lucifer's legs are caging michael. bcs they're what ground him (vices/temptations) ahahahahaa
i actually asked rafael (author not the angel) and he said he imagined baal is a brunette, which is the same like i had in mind. except that baal asked that he got depicted as a wizened old man/wizard. so now he gets a beard and his hair is white. (he also insisted i gave him a stylish beard)
if u look closely at the jewelries the demons wore; one of lucifer's rings and baal's visible earring have gemstones the colour of michael's eyes
in return, michael's sash is the colour of the demons
baal has a ring with heliodor (yellow) for lucifer, and lucifer has a(nother) ring with red ruby for baal
baal's other gemstones are topaz and lucifer's are yellow jasper
both demons have pearl necklaces. they're supposed to represent michael('s wings ahahahahahaahaha)
my headcanon is that michael's wings are brown like sparrow's actually. BUT during the war, god gave him more power and authority and my understanding is that he got tempered into a perfect sword; so his wings turned white. when book 3 came out and they finally bang (I FUCKING HOPE THEY DO. RAFAEL. THIS IS FOR YOU RAFAEL.) his wings will turn brown againehehhehe
lucifer's coat has wing-like cut at the ends to represent his no longer existing wingsbye
michael is blue because one time i shared this imagery with rafael; michael wearing blue because of the same reason virgin mary is depicted in blue. god's favourites are in blue; fated to suffer and be left behind.
fin.
