My drawings don’t come from the top of my head. I always draw with references, taking picture of myself to do proper anatomy and all that. Without references my drawings are SHIT :joy:

What is everyone’s favorite wing color? Mine are the grey wings.

Easily the silver wings. The ā€œmolten metalā€ dialogue you get for it is probably the most badass thing you can/do get so far.

I… may have gone overzealous and made all of my Gabriel’s :sweat_smile: You have unwittingly created a monster, and thank you so much for sharing this lol

Grey because she can sneak up and scout better, not because the meaning.

Silver. But I think for my next test it will be dark as the fallen fu fu ~

The gray wings I love is a little dangerous because they may think you are a demon but the style is worth the risk. And I hope that being very honest does not turn the white wings

The other day I had a dream about this game…

I was an AROF angel fighting against my brethren because, after being infiltrated in the demon society for so long, I started to see them for who they were. There were your stereotypical evil demons, there were those who committed questionable but beneficial acts and then there were those who were just trying to lead a normal life. Freedom; following their dreams and aspirations, being merry, having children and loving one another beyond the platonic - something the constricting divine society would never allow.

My title and rank among the angels was ā€˜Compassion’. I was a strict follower of the Commandments that guided Angel society and very much into upholding justice and defending the innocent (which not all believed I was capable of due to my ā€˜soft’ nature). My superior was a bloodthirsty douche who wanted nothing more than to continue this crusade against the ā€œunholyā€, a war that laid waste to demons, angels, evil-doers and innocents alike. It was a blind massacre that had lasted for eons and wasn’t going to stop any time soon; angels were dying and incapable of replenishing their numbers like demons, the pride they held so high also being their downfall. There had been several attempts from the demonic side to broker a peace between them, to no avail.

At the end of it all, I realized that what differentiated a demon from an angel was nothing more than their title. When an angel becomes as bad as the worst of demons, can we really trust divinity at that point? And who are we? Where do we stand, when thinking for ourselves earns us the scorn and distrust of our former allies? When we allow ourselves to become so blind by hatred and racism that we forget our principles. I was brought to trial for disrespecting the chain of command and defending the enemy but stood firm in my conviction. Even if I were cast out of Heaven I would still be me, I’d still do my duty and watch over those that needed my protection.

I don’t know how the judgement ended because I woke up after that.

Molten metal dialogue? Where and how did you get that?

@Mxm124 it’s flavor text that occurs pretty close to the beginning, though I can’t remember where. I think it mentions it right when you pick your wings, and then mentions it again later on when you’re in the battle.

The molten metal dialogue is when u choose the silver wings

What do the ROs look like @Dae-kalina?

Does this still get updated?

If you check with the author’s Tumblr account, they seem to be active on the asks. It is somewhat safe to say that it might be working on but no definite time line. Best to be patient and check with their social media accounts if they are still active since we can’t really ask for updates due to this project is mostly made on the spare time of the author.

We have the official cover art (sans title which will be added later). Done by the amazing Erion Makuo (Find more of her amazing stuff here)

@Meira_Litch
The wings look amazing! (All of it is amazing but the detail on the wins in particular is just gorgeous!)

Don’t know if you still feel like answering but I am certainly still curious!

@IvoryOwl
That is quite the dream! And maybe picking up on few of the central themes in game…

@lokidemon007
Check the FAQ at the beginning of the thread! There’s also a masterpost on tumblr that squarelyblue shared here: SoS: The Mortal Coil (WIP) - #1535 by squarelyblue

It has some other posts you may be interested as well.

As I have time. It is not a dead project but it is an extremely long one so updates tend to take a while. And considering I just got the official cover art commissioned, I’d like to think that’s a good indication that I’m here for the long haul :wink:

Thank you for answering! (And she/her is my preference for pronouns jsyk:) )
