Two pieces for you to enjoy, one is traditional charcoal, one is a concept-piece angel design. (had to look up bird wing anatomy for this one)

nice art

Also, if she is an Angel, why is she standing at the beach, naked, glancing over her shoulder in a flirtatious way? I thought temptation was a strength of the other side

I dunno, some may interpret her expression as sadness, but if your immediate reaction is seeing it as flirtatious and a temptation, it tells more about how you are doesn't it? Also if you gonna go there, wasn't man first born naked until the forbidden apple was eaten and all the impurity, temptation, and shame came with it? :D

Stunning skills!

I agree that the angel's expression is sadness or despondency.
Of course the angel you've drawn is not real, in nature two wings are never exact replicates .

Stunning work, liked how you stretched the feathers to create a different patterns in the wing. Also your lightning and focus are top notch as usual.

the wings aren't exact replicates, he slightly reforms the right one after mirroring it
They are way too small to fly with though, even if angel anatomy included bird stuff like hollow bones. And I'm failing with imagining a physical non-technical concept that creates a halo.

@naked
Considering that Adam and Eve only wore clothing after they ate the fruit, it doesn't make much sense for angels to cover themselves. That being said I've yet to see a Christian pre-renaissance depiction that shows them naked.
low gravity, yes-yes!

yah, we know how the big the wing would actually have to be (assume angel doesn't have any levitation or flying skills beyond the wing and is of average human weight). They would be so big it would be kinda ridiculous to draw. actually it could work but the composition would have to be completely different, the wings would reach their feet and maybe wrap around the body like cloth. But good thing we are dealing with angels and physics be gone! lol.

Yeah, with wings vs realism there's always a problem. Either the angel is supposed to be pretty/delicate like yours, so the wings need to be small to give an impression of fragility, or it's supposed to be imposing, which allows for big wings but usually comes with lots of clothing/armor cause naked people are less impressive. Except for the barbarian type, but Schwarzenegger isn't really what you'd want an angel to look like.

But yeah realistic angels would need compromises in physique anyways. Humans are way too heavy and not strong enough to fly, even with big wings.

Do you have a link to the guys who came up with concepts like cloth-like wings? Sounds like a cool concept to play around with.

no it's just an random idea popped in my head, but i'm sure if you search for concept art angel wings you'll find plenty of variety.
