This artwork was created to represent the characters I have thought about and decided to show it to you.
Very much inspired by God´s Angels and My Beloved, I decided to add 3 things that I love so much:
*Light
*Cello
*Wings
I decided to call them “Cellestials” – a mix from the Cello instrument of course, together with Celestial, I know it’s not the most artistic name, but I like it…
Here goes a more detailed description of this species:
“The Cellestials are very shy creatures, remaining unseen and almost completely hidden from the whole world (and the lucky person who gets to see them, it is said that they will be blessed with something very special in their lives). They are many in number, as many as humans exist on this Earth, so each Cellestial is like a mirror of the kindness in each one of us. They can´t talk but they have the most beautiful way of communication between them, that meaning that whenever they talk or sing, their voice sounds like the Cello, creating the most beautiful melodies ever heard and only understood by them. Their appearance is so close to the humans, with the difference that they have white eyes, white eyelashes/brows, gray/neutral hair and by the touch of light they emit a light blue shimmer (for sure you didn’t expect that judging by my technique of all the works :D). They grow very small wings on their limbs whenever it is necessary, however those wings don’t help them fly, instead the Cellestials float.
Very calm peaceful creatures, they spend their times in lonely, forgotten forests, and when they mate it is only with one creature for their whole life, for they only know true love, honesty and loyalty. When their time comes, they go to their secret forest which is hidden up far after the clouds, a forest with silver/light blue shades, and they don´t exactly die, but they turn into stone statues” – Aelathen

I can hardly begin to describe the beauty emanating from this picture, but I will do my utmost. The body is interestingly positioned. I read the description, and this pose is befitting of a shy creature. The torso is slim, but strong, and the symmetry of the shapes surrounding the bellybutton is perfect...and intriguing. The wings don't look quite as realistic as I myself would prefer, but they definitely do the job well. The antique markings on the chest and hand makes it look as if this creature is old and fragile, but the claws as fingernails suggests that it is not without defense. That is one thing that I don't quite understand, though...the claws. Why would such a peaceful being full of happiness and grace need something so unbecoming? I'm sure, though, that they fulfill their intended purpose. Overall, this is a stunning piece, and I applaud you.
