I wanted to draw an ophanim again, as they are my fave type of angels. I wanted to draw one that was above the others, one which could create new angels, so I drew one! I originally envisioned it to have a spherical core, but I’m really glad that I settled on the dodecahedron in the end! I hope you all enjoy! 😃

    If I made a 3d model based on this drawing as blender practice, Would you be ok with me posting a gif of it?

      Sure, I’m interested in what you’ll come up with! I’d like to see the result when you’re finished though! 😃

        Hey, I tried to upload it to Lemmy but I could not figure it out so it had to be via reddit.

        The lighting is nowhere near where I want it to be but I kind of ran out of time because I try to limit how much time I spend on exercises that aren’t original. I did however learn a bunch of new stuff like eye rigging.

          THAT IS AMAZING OMGGGGGGG!! 😭 I love how you did the eyes, I love how one eye is always looking toward the camera like “I’m watching you!” and how you did the little angels coming out of the flame. It really does look like something out a videogame. Thank you for using my funny dodecahedron angel as a reference! Incredible work!

            Thank you! The eyes and the rings are the parts I was am most happy with. I’m going to use the workflow I learned to do some original art with creepy eyes moving around.

      Thank you so much! I love drawing biblically accurate angels since they’re so surreal and also so fun to draw! 👁️

    I’ve seen quite a bit of your art now and I’m always impressed. From my understanding, you don’t use 3d tools for this? Absolutely insane if true and shows a level of understanding perspective I’ll only ever be able to admire

      Thank you so much!! That means a ton to me 😃 I use Paint Tool SAI (+ Photoshop CS2 sometimes for some specific effects which SAI cannot do) and typically spend a lot of time messing around with the sketch until it looks right. I really love it when 2D art has that 3D look, and that’s one of the things I aim to achieve with my style!

    The fact that the arms and the rings are not connected to the main body is kinda annoying, that thing could never be an actual living creature.

    Unless the eye ring is something like clothes. Is it held in place with magnets?

      They are held together with the divine might of our lord. That’s way more powerful than magnets.

      Do you get equally annoyed at giants that can not possibly be both that size and humanoid? It’s all magic my dude.

        Nooooo! What about square cube law? How could there be giants without built-in oxygen concentrator packs on their backs?
