Prints now up in inprnt.
#this one took way longer than it should have and it still didn't turn out like i planned so go easy on it#spn#spnart#spn art#mine.caro#trueforms#hael#hael only had one ep and the lines i got the most stuck on were 'what's an angel without its wings'#and 'if you leave me here in this broken girl'. for imagery reasons#and my starting point for hael was that all we know of her is that what she appears to be at first is at best misleading. an act#she's not very developed her as her own character so i went with ways she differs from other fallen angels i've drawn#where gasnsip steve was mostly curved lines with the geometric vestiges of angelhood held to his chest with those pleading hands#hael's are being held up in place by wanting hands. demanding hands. she's not giving up angelhood#where anna's and cas's and (also applies here in some way) lucifer and uriel's eyes had a certain twist to them hael's are normal eyes#they're crying but they're otherwise like cas's were right after he fell bc she's still sticking to angelhood in a way#hence the hands (like the ones anna was pushing out of her grace with) trying to catch the falling grace and failing.catching the crosses#i tried to give off the idea of empty spaces where wings were and bloody stumps where they were ripped out#which leads me to another point which is hael VS cas in the rapture. they're both about containment within vessels#hael's vessel isn't holding her for much longer and isn't her ideal vessel. so while jimmy in his union with cas became just Man#(vine leaf and all) hael's broken girl is a broken girl. no archetype just a person. hael ripping from inside her like wings#there's no animal heads etc from the translation from eldritch celestial to earthly bc hael no longer has much celestial to translate#and that's hael herself. for the 'act' she puts on for cas at first my idea was to overlay two trueforms but i didn't know how#i arrived on the idea of using silver which is a color i've used for wheels and smatterings of grace. and drawing the act with it#my initial idea was to make it more complex and that's partly why the main trueform is so simple. but the paint wasn't cooperating#and filling in the spaces would smudge the solid black. so idk if this way the idea comes across#but it's like. trueform lines drawing out pleading hands reaching out to cas. kinda remind me of those photos of picasso drawing with light#and they're not a closed circuit like actual trueform lines. one end blows up into thin air and the other goes into one of the hands#and i think that's it on this one. not as interesting but the show doesn't give much to go on i guess. but i still wanted to draw her#shame it didn't turn out how it looked in my head but i figured i might as well post it anyways
