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!)

For Magic the Gathering. Copyright Wizards of the Coast. Art directed by Jeremy Jarvis.

Angels courtesy of “No Questions Asked Bizarre Engagements Escort Service.” Even though we purchased the premium insurance/replacement package, they were still peeved with the condition we brought them back in.
