Archangel Michael

I thought I'd finally draw Archangel Michael who first appeared in the Devilman Lady manga, not much was shown about Michael aside from him being a willing lackey to God and manipulating events from behind the scenes and being the twin brother of Satan. But I thought it'd be fun to make my own version of Archangel Michael in how he relates to my Devilman fic (Love before its too late) since he will show up in the later chapters. Instead of the full golden armor he wore at the end of the DML manga, I thought I'd give the classic blue and red outfit Archangel Michael tends to have in the old paintings, since I felt like it showed his closer connection to humanity in my verse. Also in my verse Michael's and Satan's hair used to be longer and wavier like how Satan's hair was in Crybaby since it kind of reminds me of a Lion's mane, since in Gnosticism how the Demi Urge in has a Lion's head https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lion-faced_deity.jpg and Go Nagai was clearly inspired by Gnosticism when he made DML (maybe even as early as Devilman or VJ but that's another topic for another day lol) But in my verse when Lucifer turned against his father's orders to destroy the demons, he was captured and punished horribly and Michael cut off his wavy locks since he was jealous of how often his father would go on and on about his twin's beauty. For a brief time Michael became his father's new favorite until in the big battle that ended with the angels withdrawing and the demons winning, Satan got his revenge on Michael by cutting off his hair and scarring his twin's neck with his own flaming sword. Michael was blamed for the failed battle by God and was greatly humbled by the experience, vowing that the next time he fought Lucifer he would not be so cocky next time... that's all I'll say about Michael for now lol, there is more going on with him and you might be able to guess it if you listen to this playlist I made for Michael too cause again the brainrot was really strong XD
