Sassy Jimmy Novak, and the angel Castiel.

Was sitting around with artfriends and decided I had to do ANYTHING but keep working on freelance stuff (which is where I've been), and one of them said "draw Jimmy/Castiel"

I don't think this is what she meant

but this is what happened.

Jimmy Novak is one of my fave supernatural characters, oh yeah novaks.

I like the miasma of eyes, what a cool idea. Jimmy's flipping him the bird?

I get a biiiiit research-crazy when I write fanfiction for any fandom, and SPN was no exception. So I went on an (ongoing) angel research junket the likes of which no school paper of mine has ever seen. Angelic lore is just so INTERESTING; in the old texts they don't even always have wings (though some cherubs do - wings and bodies of lions or oxen, faces like men, breathing fire. Cherubim are freaky). They're pillars of fire with a thousand eyes; rolling wheels and lightening. So the way I draw Cas's true form is inspired by that (at least he's not a cherub thank fuck). That's really the base of his, er, fiery pillar.

Sassy Jimmy Novak flipping the bird is the best Jimmy Novak. I think my fav Jimmy is in But The Glass Was Perfect, in case you felt the need for a giant angel rant and a fic rec. XD

Hehehe, angel rants suit me fine. I tend to go with the straight up Ezekiel-Bible description of Cherubim as beings of fire with four faces (and one of them's a lion, I was so proud of Zachariah when he said that) but things filled with eyes are always amazing. What other sources were useful for you?

I'll see how I go with the fic rec since I'm apathetic about actually reading fanfic, but it's not because I'm especially against it in general. I did feel pretty weird first submitting my Lightborn entry though since I've never used that dA category before. (Le Gasp).

I love it when they get a little into the angel lore - like Zachariah's lion face! There are so many different ideas over thousands of years as to what angels look like; after a while you just gotta go with one.

My favorite source (have I mentioned this one??) is the book Angels: An Endangered Species. A Dictionary of Angels has also proved pretty helpful.

Haha, no pressure with the fic rec. And I'm probably an idiot for needing to ask, but what is Lightborn exactly?

It's a purgatory comic, by *Kenu. And it's awesome. The art is great and the plot is cool, and it's now turned into a community project :iconlightborn-project:

[link] is the beginning of the comic, I seriously recommend checking it out.
