As is my wont, I've done an variant colouring / arbitrary mirroring of my angel drawing upthread.

An erinys / fallen angel dressed in black and red, her iron halo casting a shadow over her face.

How do people think this version of the drawing compares with the previous, more divine version?

It's been almost a month, so time for another drawing.

An angel with pastel-feathered wings, dressed in white like a bride, a spiked golden halo floating above her head and a slightly intense look in her eyes. This one was kind of fun. Already I'm thinking about variant colourings.

Comments/suggestions welcome.

I linger before the stone angel, whose bowed figure touches my soul. His sorrow becomes tangible in the cold stone. My fingers wish to stroke the curved wings, offering comfort where none seems possible. In his timeless grief, I find a strange peace. He watches over the past, while I merely pause on my journey to preserve his silent story.

Ich verweile vor dem steinernen Engel, dessen gesenkte Gestalt meine Seele berührt. Seine Trauer wird greifbar im kalten Stein. Meine Finger möchten über die geschwungenen Flügel streichen, Trost spenden, wo keiner möglich scheint. In seinem zeitlosen Schmerz finde ich seltsame Ruhe. Er wacht über Vergangenes, während ich nur kurz innehalte auf meinem Weg, um seine stille Geschichte zu bewahren.
