Seraphim

Description

Inspirations from :iconkurokarasu:'s suggestions during a discussion of Teresa's possible awakened form, Teresa and Claymore belongs to Yagi-sama, design of Seraphim belongs to me :3

Kuro colored it really pretty: [link]

The Seraphim as far as I have been aware were pretty much an indescribable mass of wings, eyes and light, here I gave it also elements of the four Holy Beasts upon the throne in Revelations: lion, bull, eagle and angel. The beasts also for some reason represent the gospel-writers Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and can be seen around the Wheel of Fortune in the Rider-Waite version of the Tarot. The central being is the Angel who carries a flaming sword (as I think did Gabriel or one of the other named angels from Judeo-Christian tradition.)

Basically... pretty much a god/dess who strikes with blinding light and the sword of Righteousness, master of all elements and personification of Spirit.

...you don't want to get her angry....

you wouldn't like her when she's angry.


I'd kind of like to do a painting of this.

Also featuring genuine Awakened Boobies (tm) (accept no substitutes.)

Drawing this also reminded me that devils/chief Demons were known in Gnostic traditions especially (and some Kabbalistic or Judaic traditions?? I forget) as Angelic beings who had fallen from God's grace.

Oh my goodness, you made her an angel before the end of the manga.

Do you have the power of prophecy or something?
