Killing Wave

Liliana illustrates, with little room for misinterpretation, what she thinks of uninvited carolers at her door.

And you know these folks probably had decent singing voices, being angels and all.

I went a little nuts researching bird anatomy for this piece. I’d always wondered just how an angel could be built to actually work. This is the first step, a plausible skeleton. Since then, I’ve been tinkering with designs that would look functional, but not too weird once the skin and such was put back on them. These ones would be mighty pigeon-chested. (I know, corny choice of words. Look, there’s just no better descriptive term. Stop yelling! I’m sorry! Don’t hit me!)
