...is the meaning of the name of the Archangel Raphael. He is an angel of healing - both physical and psychological.

This is a *belated* birthday present to a friend of mine ;) It came in 2 months late (XD...) because I've got so much schoolwork right now!

This isn't exactly in the RAG series, although the character will be present in the story.

I was trying out a new CGing method in this pic. It's not great, but I'm still learning, hehe. It's still the usual cel-style shading, but with the use of some Blur filters to make it look more like soft-style coloring. Tell me what you think of it.

Ah yes! The flowers look horrid ;P Those detestable things! Guess I should practice those, huh XP Yes, I should! someday...

Using light colors is strange; I guess it works for this though XD

Approximate time: ??? (I suppose I started the lineart around March 10th since I began CGing it on March 15th. Finished that today.. Well, I spent a bit more than a month on this - excluding time at school and exam study periods ;) )

Medium: mechanical pencil 0.5, Pilot Hi-Tecpoint V5 Extra Fine pen, Photoshop 5.0

Layers: 47 (Yes, I counted, for once.)

---

Enjoy!

Hi, My name's Nathaniel and I'm a young graphic designer. I was wondering if I could use this image in a design I'm currently doing for a friend of mine who wants to advertise her healing massages. This is a small job and I'm doing it for free as a favour to my friend Katherine and she really liked this image.

Anyway... just asking. You would of course be sited as the image's original creator.

Let me know.

Yours Faithfully

Nathaniel

Hi. First of all, I would like to thank you for asking for my permission.

Unfortunately, I must decline your request. For one thing, this is an original character designed specifically for my story Revolt Against GOD; in addition, since the image would be used for commercial purposes, it does not exactly fit into personal use and might bring to your friend monetary gains. Because of these two points, I can't give you rights to the image free of cost.

Thank you (and your friend) for taking interest in my art though, I really appreciate it!
