“Electric Currents” by Hagihara Takuya ⚡

honestly its so unbelievably lame that modern artists have settled on “plain white” for standard angel wing depictions considering the variety of cool and colorful designs that medieval and renaissance artists came up with.

like check out these blue and gold striped wings!! so sick!!

or the golden peacock feathers

or these rainbow ones! the paint is faded but imagine them much brighter and more vibrant originally

same with the paint on this blue and white gradient wing set

or even these sick goth wings on gabriel over here!!

like god not even going into the sticky moral implications of the whiteness/purity connotation theyre just so much lamer and more boring than they could be like come on
