ALT - Halo enlarged to look more similar to peacock feathers/fuller - head was too similar to Michael; reduced it to a singular orb with unstable core that echos his unstable form - only angel to have actively spilling light, intensity is mood/excitement based - removed eyes to simplify design - ̶L̶o̶v̶e̶ ̶ kindness is blind - based on Messier 77 photo
ALT -Each archangel is God’s rough draft of humanity, “perfecting” a more humanoid form for every angel created -the order of creation is Lucifer, Michael, Phanuel, Raphael, Gabriel -As the first draft, Lucifer was an amalgamation of God’s visage alongside prior created species (Ruminant - deers/lambs and snakes), in addition to reflecting aspects of the tree of life in his armor (pattern in pauldron, root-like ribbons) -despite his size, his form is unstable and frail; much of his light is used to sustain his form, leading to a smaller halo, rather than a grand star -this is also why he wears armor of porcelain, cloth, and minimal gold, though God’s kindness has little reason for it if he doesn’t fight in the first place -Where V1 is Hell’s toy, Lucifer is its muse; It found itself obsessed when he fell, eager to understand kindness to undo it onto sinners, and soon modeled its demons after the same pure white of his armor in adoration; it didn’t understand why Lucifer despised it
