It almost takes me a week. Depending on my energy lol

I don't rly have a defined time because I work on it between days. That's the reason why I only update on weekends, thats when I'm totally free to finish that shit.

And for the asks, it doesn't take me more than 1 or 2 hours to sketch them!

Since Michael is a powerful and a very well known archangel, would he have suitors/admirers?

And if yes, how would he handle them?

Sp. I loove your art and comic🧡

It depends a lot on the type of admirer he encounters, He would be very respectful.

And I can’t unhear Michael too. 🥹it’s attractive

Hi Sunsetlunar.

For the layoutsss uhh my process is actually pretty simple. First, I finish and adjust my script so I know how many panels I need for each page.

That helps me figure out how many panels I need on each page.

Then I draw the panel frames and fill them with really messy sketches. Once I'm happy with how it looks, I clean everything up and keep drawing from there!

Kinda looks like this at first:

Then the rest of the process follows:

The tip I could give ya is to first make a script or write down the dialogues so that u know how many panels u need. Also leave the speech bubbles until u finish everything.

I don't usually use Ibis Paint anymore, but I remember that the app has tools that make it easier for u to design comics.

And we can't lost another of our commanders.

When it should be:

And we can't lose another of our commanders.

Hope this helps! (Your English is very good! I’m just a copy editor IRL so I notice this stuff a lot lol. I noticed a couple other errors but I saw you made note of them in the comments.)

Yes yes yes!!! It was actually very helpful!! 😭

Lately these are more common in my work. Maybe I should be more observant!!

But well, they are mistakes that happen, some of them can be corrected thank God haha

But if it happens again, I wouldn't mind y'all letting me know in the comments. After all, a little help isn't bad at all.

(I say this as someone whose English is not their first language, but fuckk I'm trying!! 🤣)

Also, thank you for letting me know! Sometimes it's funny since I read it and I don't notice anything strange, until I post it. The same happens with my drawings. Sometimes I forget some details, something that I should have colored and I didn't...

OR THAT EMY'S WING IS NO LONGER THERE

Welcome Uncle Michael! (Chapter 6 part 1)

Son??? What are we even talking about?? 😭

My Michael doesn't have a son???

Gabriel has messy hair because he’s hyper active and when he grows up, he flies around too much because of his duties

Question about Raphael

How is he examining patients if his eyes are closed

yesss! This is canonnn! He can never keep his hair styled 😂

And well, Raphael's mask still allows him to see, As I explained before.

(This one) 👇

When he wears his blindfold, he simply already knows what to do without seeing. He only uses it when he is not working

(This one) 👇

have a lovely week! Also your comics are a delight to read so much I love all your designs a lot especially Michael's, metatron's, The mother figure I presume god? And Azrael's designs 💙🖤🤍💜🖤

Oh no no no no.

At least in my story, Metatron is in charge of monitoring and making sure everything is in order. He does not speak for the Creator.

He ensures that the Creator's will is correctly understood and preserved and the one who evaluates Sariel and the virtues.

Speaker Interprets and communicates the Creator's Will.

And Sariel is the one who forms and teaches the virtues, she is not God. He's not going to appear in the comic.

And don't worry! I like to answer questions! It's just that sometimes I'm busy with work or personal projects and I forget to check the ask box 😭

Some of the Virtues have very elaborate halos, others have simple classic halos. Is there a reason for that in-universe, or is that just your preference?

I also noticed Michael and Lucifer are the only ones with six wings in the Virtues. Are they not all Seraphim? And why is Lucifer the only one with wings that don’t match his main color (gold)?

I love the butterfly look of Sariel, she’s so pretty. 🤩 Her and Metatron have fascinating designs- can you go into your thought process for them a bit?

And this isn’t a design question, but something I’m wondering- Lucifer is the only virtue without an -el suffix in his name. (I’ve seen Samael or Helel thrown around in the fandom.) Do you have an in-universe reason for that?

Helou, anonymous!

About their halos, it's really just a matter of design. At least in my Au, it doesn't have any meaning or anything similar, so It's just preference.

And well tbh the idea of the "more wings the more range" is so used, which I find tedious. As if they were Pokémon evolving lol

But actually, they all have six wings. With the exception of Gabriel and Raphael who only have two wings. And Leliel, who can "conjure" his wings with his energy as many as he wants.

About the color of Lucifer's wings I just thought about the design. Michael is a clean blue sky, Lu is a sunset.

For Sariel, I've had her design for a long time, some time before I started posting content.

(I usually make random characters when I'm bored and they're the ones I usually add on the comic!)

She was going to be a virtue at first. But then I changed it when I started designing the other virtues. Leaving her the role of protection and teaching of the lil guys.

When I first showed her in the old comic, I was happy with the design and then I didn't change it again.

(old VERY OLD Sketches)

The butterflies that always surround her are her sentinels. But they work more like her eyes. This way she can take care of the little virtues in the mafte garden.

About Metatron, he was one of those random sketches that I usually do. When I decided to add him to the comic, I changed his hair. I wanted to go for the concept of a meteor shower or galaxy.

That's why his hair is like a portal type. And I didn't want to make him look serious, but I did want to make him strict.

But what I do have to say is that I struggled a LOT with his color palette. I didn't like the Combination, even I started trying variations of blue and purple tones and it was HORRIBLE 😭

Until I just tried black.

... And I liked it.

And finally, the last one.

Welcome Uncle Michael! (Chapter 5 part 3)

🔵 <-Previous

As a child, he used to practice curing plants, whether they were uprooted or withered, He never felt pain. But when he tried to heal one of his mother's butterflies, he felt the pain of that helpless creature.

He sees the pain of others. The pain manifests itself with wounds or cuts on his own body. And these cannot be healed. That's why he covers his eyes. But the mask still allows him to see, it serves to moderate.
