Wow, you REALLY sparkled up that shallow transphobia huh?
You couldn't see beauty if it was standing right in front of you kharmii. Honestly, you should be the one popping pills, sounds like they'd change your life for the better!
But idiotic rhetoric aside, let's take a look at this art because this piece is gorgeous. The blending techniques here are heavenly, going from these bright golds to these dark, desaturated browns. They mix together to create the impression of texture, implying the softness of feathers without having to draw each one. Then there's the layering of them, the curve of the wing coming over to fold over the left hand just so. The pose really adds to this sense of grace and gentleness.
And that face! God, look at that beautiful face! The expression is serene, calm and open. There's no shame there, a bit of a smile and a relaxed expression. I can only see it as playful curiosity. 'Oh? What are you doing here, child?' Her nudity is not presented as flirtatious, but as a simple fact. A gentle one, kind and humble.
The darker lines becoming thicker where the shadows would lie is such a clever move too! It's a bit of stylization that works with a more mixed style. The main torso is shaded realistically, with slight shadows under the breast and the love handles, while other parts have harder edges. It's different, but I really like it!
And the light here really adds to the vibe of soft, tranquil beauty. Instead of a kind of... Gaudy gold (like in the second pic), it's this orange, white, almost pinkish gold. Like the color of clouds at daybreak. It feels like heaven.
The detail I love the most is the lines around her head. It really reminds me of some more classical paintings of saintly figures. You know, the ones with rings of lines around their head? Or the ones whose head was circled in light?
It's holy, beautiful, divine. Just as she is deserving of.
