St. Michael and the dragon

While this took me a whole lot of time to finish, I am very pleased with the end result, both compositionally and in regard to the colour scheme.

The idea for the ornate, white armour in particular came from an illustration of St. Michael in the book of hours of Henry IV of France, which looks like this:

Also, fun-fact: my hometown celebrates an annual little festival, which as its centre piece features a moving mechanical figure of St. Michael slaying the devil, the colour-scheme of which I also referenced for this painting.

Placed in 2002, the statue, constructed of bronze and gold, stands above the Lach Gates in Independence Square in Kyiv. St. Michael the Archangel is the patron saint of Kyiv and is also at the center of the coat of arms of the Ukrainian capital.

O archangel Michael and all the powers of heaven, fight for Ukraine! Cast down that devil who is attacking us and killing us, bringing devastation and death!

We found these at the estate sale of a local veteran. They were on a paracord, and I wonder if these weren't the medals he wore in combat. I almost hate to split them up and can't help but wonder what he would have wanted.

The medals are in the tags.

LISTEN! I KNOW IM LATE OK! But I just finished watching Hazbin hotel a few days ago and couldn't help but fall in love with it. Sooooooooo.... I decided to make a little AU comic for my little Oc/Self insert thingy (idk what to call it).

Mid way making it I realized, wait a minute, the first few parts takes place IN heaven, more so the upper ranks of heaven. And I also realized Viv hasn't, at least I don't think she has, made archangels or gods character designs. So I got interested in making head cannon designs for my little comic for this.

This is the first of seven archangels, St.Micheal. since due to research Micheal was the one who got Lucifer out of heaven for good I thought it would be interesting to make him entitled like Adam is, and since other angels think Luci is bad they see Micheal as a wonderful Angel and praise him, boosting his ego by a long shot.
