#celestial mutualism

Featuring Raziel, Osias, and Agonai.

WIP for Cemil as an avian angelic boi. Inspired by the design of Howl from Howl's Moving Castle.

So far we’ve got Taryn as a Leafvent Angler:

Cemil as a Sea Angel:

Raziel as a Leafy Sea Dragon

And finally Eris as a Octopus Sea Witch cuz Ursula. She’s a good witch, though!

Angel Hunter Elliot has joined the battle!

I was joking with chat how Elliot could be in the celestial mutualism universe as this vigilante angel hunter. The leech angels wouldn’t be freaking expecting him.

Imagine you’re an angel going out to eat a human snack then a rainbow robot twink strolls up to you and pops a cap in your ass. Nobody expects the rainbow twink. The fact that Elliot is a soulless machine would also mean that the angels can’t just rip out his energy. They got to fight him human style. Get their hands dirty. XDD

I had an idea of a starving Miniel encountering a terrified orphan child. The child watched her parents get their life drained from them in an instant after getting jumped by a flock of ravenous angels. Miniel first tries to rationalize with the traumatized child that Feeding will make them happy forever and asks them not to cry... but their tears eventually overwhelm her with remorse and shame. She even tries transforming in an attempt to have her angelic form soothe/ strike the kid with awe like it normally does to humans who are exposed to her...but the kid just curls up into a ball and sobs even harder as they shield their eyes from her light. Her face crumples and she gently rests her trembling ethereal hands on the kid and soothingly strokes at their aura while they sob. Still trying to console the kid. The kid begins hysterically wailing at her angelic touch and begs her not to consume her soul. Miniel finally breaks, shifting back to human form and slowly leaning down and wrapping the child up in her arms. The kid is pressed so tight to her chest that she can hear Miniel's heart pounding. She reassures the kid that she won't feed from them and apologizes for scaring them. The kid isn't really convinced, but she's much too weak from physical/emotional exhaustion, dehydration, and starvation to run or seriously fight Miniel's grip.

Random sketches along with an introduction to the “Angel Family” and their singularity Eris. Eris runs the trio and feeds them all in exchange for their loyalty, company, and servitude. Eris is a big softie for animals and is eager about having her own little family unit. They all travel as a team.

Different designs for Eris because I couldn’t decide a finite hair color and overall color.
