This is the last piece I will be sharing for this narrative for it is my 11th and final piece. This is also the only piece I have ever done in purely traditional art, for it was also my submission for a project I did in scratch art. I think looking back now I should have done this with the other mediums I was assigned to mess with since we also used paint and ink. Like "BUT HOW CAN I BE STRONG, GUARDIAN ANGEL?" this piece also took inspiration from an art piece involving angels. I think I took inspiration from this one in particular, being ST MICHAEL SLAYING THE DRAGON by Raphael.

Despite not having a religious background [i was raised Buddhist and went to a Presbyterian daycare] younger me had always had an admiration towards angels. Like how I depicted Victoriam and this stronger version of myself, I saw angels as strong, wise, and beautiful winged warriors that will protect others from evil. I guess in some way, it brought me comfort thinking that one day with time and training I would be just as strong as them...figuratively though. Heck, I think the development of Fireseeker might have had that angel influence because not only did she start off as a bit of a self insert but I always depicted her as a winged being. But, as I finished this story and moved on in my art journey, my obsession with angels faded away.. sort of.

Art and characters belong to me.
