Hi Hello, You Might Know This Drawing I Did A Bit Ago Of How Cas' True Form Could Look Like.

Hi hello, you might know this drawing I did a bit ago of how Cas' true form could look like.

I'm passionate about this so I wanted to explain my thought process behind it a bit!

First off we have 3 sets of wings. Some people thought that meant I made him an archangel but the sources I found on angels actually described Seraphim as having 3 sets of wings, so I'm sorry to disappoint.

Then there are the strings of grace that are essentially his body. I based these on how grace is portrayed in the show, I liked the Idea of the angels not really having "body's". They are just wavelengths of celestial intent.

Now here is some interesting stuff, people always incorporate animal parts in their angel art. However I wanted to add plant based things, in my mind it made sense.

The hands and the spine are the human/animal component (I doubt that spine is even remotely human). I decided on depicting 3 arms but oh he has way more. Why? Isn't it kind of chilling? This huge creature (he is hunched over in my drawing) hands flickering in and out of view, eyes floating around it.

His face is another of my favorites. I was contemplating drawing many different heads but at this point I had been sketching for 3 hours and I couldn't be bothered, so originally I went with a blank slate. Then I thought about when this depiction of Cas would be set in the show.

So, this is some time after season 9. Cas is cracked. He has fallen every way imaginable. The eye like holes in his face symbolising him becoming more human-like as he goes on. The tear tracks-- well, despair mostly. He has come far from the blank faced soldier he once was.

Ah yes the enochian rings. Based on more biblical descriptions. I was planning on inscribing them with symbolic phrases or something related to Cas. However, again, I had been drawing for 10 hours at that point so I just slapped the inscriptions Cas carved into Sam and Dean's ribs on there, which in itself is kind of symbolic as well, isn't it?

Okay FINALLY, the part that started it all: Puppet Vessel. I kept thinking about this huge, being, packed into this tiny little Jimmy-Meatsuit, until I thought— what if he actually isn't inside his vessel, but simply puppeteering it? He is just moving it around, floating above it all, trying so hard to fit into his new found family, but he's more diffrent than any of them realize. Cas the quirky little dude is just a puppet, held up by the very being, that once was a puppet being held up by heaven. Well, trueform Cas cut his ties to heaven and now has to puppeteer his vessel and himself on his own.
