Raziel picture

Spotted this while browsing Hi Fructose mag online.





More of Tom Bagshaw's stuff here. I'm pretty sure I've seen some of his pieces shown locally.

So is Raziel black haired and winged? I dunno why but I had pictured really really dark brown. I'm sure you've said but I either missed it or forgot.

I don't know if I've ever actually written this, but I see her in my mind with very dark brown hair, eyes and wings.

As I think I've mentioned before, I've always pictures angels in these stories as having wings that match their hair color.

Pretty!
I've never even tried to draw her, because I can't get a good fix on what she looks like. Or someone she looks like.

I actually have the same problem. I can usually find an actor who I'd think would play my characters, but I've been sort of baffled with Raziel. I think one of my problems is I wrote her having dark hair and eyes, but she acts like the classic bubble-headed blonde, like Carole Lombard. I watched Clueless a while back and though Alicia Silverstone was very Raziel-esque.

Alicia Silverstone. Yeah. Ow my brain?

Audrey Tautou is pretty close. She's dark and small and kinda kooky:

Did you see Amelie? It's that actress.

[zsomeone.livejournal.com]

Never heard of her (and haven't seen that) but it's good to have a visual.

I think she was also in the DaVinci code movies, but I like to block those out of my mind. I'd recommend Amelie. It started the whole "traveling gnome" joke.

She's been quoted as saying, "I don't want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3," (that is, she doesn't wanna star in a dumb Hollywood sequel) which sounds like Raziel.

Would this be her Court form, or the smaller, tiny form she evolved? Or would that be the new Court form now?

[nugatorytm.livejournal.com]

Oh wait, brain no work...Court forms don't have wings. So this would be her Seraph form? Of course, I'm imagining that set on fire. Maybe I should quit while I'm behind...

[tikific.livejournal.com]

When Raziel is in her Seraph Form, she would have three sets of wings. I've been kind of vague about this, but a lot of the stories say one set of wings covers the feet, and another covers the head. And, no, I have no $#%@#$ idea how this would actually work.

I think this would look something like that small Form, which may actually be what she really looks like. But, I wasn't thinking about it too hard! :D

[tikific.livejournal.com]

Ams confusing!

And now I have implied that Raziel's True Form is actually the smaller one.

Raziel approves of this portrait! She has it above the fireplace!

Sariel does not approve, as he's the tiny guy at the bottom left, holding the spear. HA-HA!

There's so much I like about this picture. He's got a giclee available. It's spendy, but it's so cool. But I'm telling myself it's too weird to put up at work, and I don't really have space at home.

[senoritafish.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I like the artist! And that's actually a little bit how I pictured her. I could not for the life of me figure out what was in her hand on my phone. Now that I'm on the big monitor, I guess it's some kind of mask?

Can't be weirder than what I have around my desk, but maybe when you've been there a bit longer? ;p

[tikific.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what she's holding! It might be a Noh mask - he does a lot of Japanese themes. I originally thought it was a conch shell, but I don't think that's right.

[senoritafish.livejournal.com]

While squinting through these stupid reading glasses, I at first thought maybe a weird gourd with ribbons on it. But that didn't make any sense.

[avalonjones.livejournal.com]

Yeah., that's pretty much exactly how I've pictured her! I like the dragon, too.

[tikific.livejournal.com]

The funny thing is, I had dragons in an early story, and it was supposed to be about that size!
