I can't take it anymore, I need more people to see my obsession of a couple of years now.

Have an old doodle.

Personal interpretation of

Lucifer, The Morning Star.

Archangel, Cherub, Great Judge and "Master of Music".

Martha, Mary of Bethany and Lazarus

NIMROD Saturn, son of Cush, son of Ham, son of Noah, began to be strong on the earth. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar, in the 1788th year of the world and the 2174th year before Christ, namely that same year in which Reu was born. While he reigned a confusion of tongues was created in the building of the tower of Babel. Josephus’ Antiquities book 1, ch. 9 [sic; the quotation is actually in chapter 4] cites this saying of the Sibyl: "When all men existed with one voice, someone built a high tower, as if to ascend to the heavens by it: Truly the gods sent out winds, overthrew the tower, and individual and unique languages were distributed: therefore it came to pass that the city was called Babylon, which means “confusion”." See Genesis ch. 10 and 11 and Berossus books 4 and 5.

Judith | 1892 Jules Joseph Lefebvre

"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,/ And said unto them, It is written, 'My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.'"

Matthew 21:12-13 (KJV)

so true Jesus

Don’t normally share my art on here, but I’m too proud of this one to let it go unshared :)

Experimenting with new concepts for an old OC, as well as the overlap between transgenderism, transsexualism, and being intersex, while also portraying those bodies as intrinsically holy.

I may make this the first in a series of saints and angels with trans and intersex bodies.

If you're interested in the whole "humanised depiction of jesus/biblical figures" topic i recommend listening to the album "La buona novella" (Good news, 1970) by Fabrizio de André.

Here's translated bit to give you a taste of the vibe from one of the last songs, "Tre madri" (Three mothers), in which Mary is weeping over Jesus' (and the robbers') bodies.

Blood of my blood, child of my heart,

Those who call you "Our Lord"

In the painfulness of your smile

Look for a glance of Paradise.

Dying creature, you are my son

This womb of mine carried you blind

Like in my belly, now on the cross

My voice is calling you "love" .

Hadn't you been the Child of God,

Now you would still be my son.

You could say that the Lord had left Moses devilishly handsome!😂

Presenting one of my personal favorites.

Haniel.

Archangel of Joy, of the Virtues, caretaker of Chalkydri and Phoenixes, Dominion of the Cosmos.

I'm still working on their colors.

Also have him talking with Lucifer about scripture or something.

If anyone wants to know about the definitions of the titles, I can talk about them, but my knowledge's just superficial.

The REAL cherubims

When HAGAR was pregnant, she scorned her mistress Sarah; therefore Sarah exposed her guilt most harshly and cast her out, since her husband had given her the right. So Hagar made her escape, but she was warned by an Angel, and returned to her master and bore Ishmael.

Gotta write this down before I forget I had an Idea:

Lucifer's (the Morning Star, day bringer) twin isn't Jesus but another, lesser angel: Noctifer (the Evening Star, night bringer)

Delilah. Lot's daughters. Herodias/Salome. Tamar. Jezebel. Potiphar's wife.

The Virgin Mary. Sarah. Ruth. Esther. Rachel. Mary Magdalene. Dinah. Bilhah/Zilpah. Hagar. Bathsheba. The Levite's concubine.

The stories of these figures always leaves me confused and wanting more answers even though I'm not practicing
