"Sulfus is a 15 stars (y/o) angel and the first of his course, taught at an eccentric academy on the Moon! He decided to come down to Earth certain to find excellent material to complete his academic research in the most impeccable way!"
Starting with my favourite character from Angel's Friends comic books, Sulfus!! >:"D
Angel Sulfus in this case, with brief introduction about his role in my au story! I'm currently working on the other characters of the main cast (and their mascots too), but today, enjoy this angel from the moon! 🌜
Characters -> Sulfus - Raf - Kabalè - Ang-Lì - Cabiria - Mefisto
CLOSE UPS
Sulfus is a bit older than his original version and - as you can read - he doesn't attend the stage on Earth like the others, but it's not unusual for eternals, in the comic universe, to study in other parts of the cosmos ahah
It wasn't actually easy to design his look at first, many elements in his original character are pretty iconic! For his angel version, I had in mind to design a more "soft" punk/rock style for him. Then I remembered this panel from comic #11 and... BOOM!! I found the solution!! 🔥
Now, I'm pretty satisfied with the results! ✨ I hope you like him too!

More Orange is The New Black x @gattnk redesigns stuff. Yes the angels had been there the entire time. They're either too scared or not bothered enough to do anything about the noise and frankly I'd be too.
+ bonus Temptel content.
I'm sneaking these posts between class hours or I know I'll forget them lol.
Part 1, Part 2 ⬆️

Raf and Sulfus, Sulfus and Raf.
I finally finished my AF main cast redesigns for my rewrite project! I've had these two for a while, but I didn't want to post them until the rest of the gang was also ready for some reason. Anyways, here's my design notes for the main duo:
I wanted to treat this entire project the way I would if I'd been actually hired to reboot the IP as a professional. With this in mind, I kept the designs simple enough for serialized production while also doing my best to make them "fashionable" like the original material.
The comic's motifs for both characters made me decide on the moon and star as their core design elements early on. I simplified these shapes even further to their most basic form: angels will be represented by/associated with circles, and devils with triangles.
I designed Raf with a crescent moon in mind: she's very curvy but there's still some pointiness to her shapes. Sulfus was modelled after a 5-point star instead: all points, sharp angles and straight lines.
Since both the comics and series had Raf characterized as a go-getter (she's the leader and main character), I dressed her in some casual but sporty clothes to reflect this; I envisioned her as the "speedster" of the group, someone who's quick to jump into action once a goal or "finish line" is set. This Raf likes running and jogging as much as flying, so she sports (ha!) a nice tan as well.
Sulfus is the quintessential bad boy: he listens to heavy music, rides a motorbike, his snake mascot's resting mode looks like a tattoo, he surfs lava just for fun... I took his hobbies into account more than his previous emo/scene or classic rockstar looks from the series/comic, and came up with a healthy mix of functional speed biker fashion with melodic/power metal band influences.
Raf's main colors are blue, gold and white, a high contrast to the red, grey and black colors of Sulfus. Since Raf has a bright red spot in her design, it was only fair to give Sulfus gold eyes and blueish black and grey tones in turn.
Since Raf is more romantic and very sincere, her red ladybug (symbol of luck, new beginnings and love) is very bright and eye-catching, contrasted by Sulfus' soft, cool hues. His ring-necked snake (which is much more subtle than his original green rattlesnake/coral snake) represents Sulfus' more secretive side.
I'd go into more depth about their updated personalities and backstories, but this post is long as it is :V
If any of you is interested in seeing more of this pair in action, here's my AFapril comic challenge thing. If you want to read them in action though? Here's my rewrite fic! If anything happens to AO3 I'll make sure to update this or any future posts linking to it, don't worry. I'll be using the tag IFWY (I'll Fly With You) for anything related to it.
