Thanks a lot! I am so happy to hear that you enjoy my little series of archangels. XD I always loved the mythology and legends behind angels as well. They are on of my most favorite magical-races (with Fae/Sidhe and Dragons). XD

I hope I do not offend, but I am not viewing the angels at all from a religious angle nor do I adhere to any form of scripture when I think of "my angels". They're just a fictional fictional race and characters in my world. That said, I love all the angels, though my favorite will always be Michael.

Oh that's fine. Just saying he's one of my favorites. ^_^

Oh yes, very open to guys. In my universe, people don't hate silly things like sexual orientation or identity, race, color etc. It would be silly for a million year old being to care about such little things.
I am happy to hear that you like my Angel characters. XD Thanks so much.

Oh, I do.
I'm feeling very sad. This explains why:
No more!I'm not happy with my friend. This friend has made gift art for his other friends and I have been waiting for mine, and nothing has not happened. And, I discovered that he responded to the other comments on his page except mine and I am very hurt and offended.
If he hates me that much, then why doesn't he just say so?
And, every time I promised him that I would make him something, I don't stall and have him wait forever. But, yet he can't do the same for me. Well, I'm done waiting. I'm no longer gonna waste my time with someone who can't keep a promise, especially when I ask him is there any update and he doesn't tell me anything. I am patient with people, but obviously my patience is being abused! And, that's not okay with me!
I no longer trust him and I don't like him anymore. He has hurt my feelings for the last time.

Glad to hear it.
Oh, I am sorry to hear that you have trouble with your friend.

I'm just trying not to cry

I think I need to not talk to him until I can learn how to talk to other people.

heheh definitely my favourite so far. Both for looks and personality. I will direct my prayers accordingly.
(those thighs though, unf)

Lol! Thanks a lot. And I hope he answers your prayers.
Agreed about the thighs. XD

By the way, how come Michael didn't get a bit of character info to go with the character sheet (and Lucifer only a hint of it)? Will you tell us more about them and their exploits? I'm feeling very... religious all of a sudden
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Honestly? Because I didn't think anyone would care about the sketches. 
I'll go back and post a bit more info on Michael and Lucifer tomorrow when I'll be posting Gabriel.
Do you have specific questions you'd be interested in finding out about either, or Raphael?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm interested in their character flaws, what they do well, and what they like in bed. (oh god being drunk helps me sort my ideas much easier, who would've thought)
Also a bit about their world. What are the stakes? Are they immortal? What is there to fight for? All the good dramatic things

Here are the updates I posted on Michael and Lucifer.
Michael: Despite his youthful appearance, Michael is a brilliant strategist, valiant warrior and a steadfast friend; but he lacks a sense of humor and thus never smiles. He is also possessed of a sense of self-importance rivaling that of his elder brother Lucifer, which makes him difficult to live with some days.
Lucifer: Lucifer is also the eldest of three brothers with Michael and Gabriel being his two younger siblings. He is charming, focused; determined to the point of being single-minded. Possessed of a wicked sharp mind and a sharper tongue —with a lot of self-importance mixed in— Lucifer is the perfect example of a highly functioning-sociopath.
Now Gabriel is also up.
Regarding your other questions;
Are they immortal? In my world, the definition of immortal is a bit different than what is usually used. The Angels are "long lived and hard to kill", but they are not immortal. They can be kill, but they do not age. Immortals are the 5 gods I have. They cannot be killed. You killed them, they instantly are reborn (as infants, but grow to full maturity within minutes) with all their power and knowledge intact. They are the true immortals. Everything else, just has a long life-span, but they can be killed.
What are the stakes? It will be a "slice of life" type of story. No great wars to win, no huge nasty enemy to defeat, no kingdoms to regain. The story will follow three parallel plots with three main characters that will eventually coalesce into one story. Their 'destinies' intertwined. The three main characters will be a half-human-half-god, a lower-class demon and an archangel. The story is set in a world where there are around 20 different races living together, including the gods, demons, angels, humans, elf-like beings, etc. "Heaven" and "Hell" are physical places. And no, no souls go there. Souls go to my version of "hades", which is a separate place from Heaven and Hell. Heaven and Hell are just countries, each with their own names. Heaven is a floating continent (in the sky, but visible to the naked eye when one looks up), and Hell is just deep underground, but there.
But I digress. It'll be a story of everyday struggles, betrayal, friendship, love, loss. No epic story. Just people being people and overcoming their shortcomings (or succumbing to them).
What they like in bed? Oooh. I haven't actually thought about this much. The angels are hundreds of thousands of years old. I don't think there is anything on this world they haven't tried at one time or another.

Ah! Thank you for the extra details! That all sounds very promising. Michael is intriguing as a completely humour-less character. I've always found it difficult to wrap my mind around the psychology of immortal (or near-immortal/extremely old) beings, though. I have a feeling their motivations and priorities would be so different from ours to the point of being incomprehensible. That's probably why I was never very attracted to vampire stories - the vampires are often written too "human" for my tastes. So it would be interesting to see how your characters deal with everyday struggles and such
As for their sexual preferences, I was just looking for some ideas for ... mental fanart. "Whatever catches their fancy" is exciting in its generosity (it would be interesting to think why being long lived makes them less picky - I see some good arguments for that indeed), but I confess I was hoping for details, as they are just more inspiring

Thanks a lot for your opinions.
As for your question; the half-human, half-god character, lives under the impression that they are killable...
As for their sexual preferences.... oh, now I understand what you might be interested in. Like what would be their "type", the traits that most draws their attention, like the size difference thing for me? okay, I'll move this to a PM.

Thank you so much. Two reasons why I asked you to speak English:
1. I understand Hungarian, I can even speak it a little, but English is my main language of choice, always. I never speak Hungarian if I can help it. All my friends are international from different countries. My family lives all over Europe so I speak with them in English too. I read, write and watch TV only in English. I don't even have Hungarian friends. I can't express myself in Hungarian almost at all. So English is the language I love to speak and I consider it my 'mother tongue', even though, technically, I am Hungarian.
Another reason why I asked you to speak in English is because this is an international site. And I think it's only decent to speak an international language, so everyone can understand what we say.
Thanks for your understanding.

Ah, thank you for made it clear to me. Huh you really surprised me with this info and I'm thankful you wrote a little about yourself. I mean I love your works and good to know things about the creator too.
I know it's an international site but I comment to the artist, not to the world when I write under an image. So this is the reason why I used hungarian.
