The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Oct 27

📌

Welcome to my Bsky page! I’m Gabe and I’m a freelance artist and animator!
I work on stories I create and commissions (which are open!) in various styles!

I’m happy to support smaller artists and my general community!

Linktree if you wanna find me elsewhere! : linktr.ee/The_Angels_Den

This was made for one of my finals for college! It’s a fully illustrated artwork showing off my normal style (lineless) with my characters Isaac (left), Glitch (Middle, father away) and Maddie (Right).

This was a gift artwork made for one of my good friends, @meg-da-person.bsky.social of their character ALERT!

A fully illustrated artwork with all my characters that I made back in 2022 for my series Angel’s Destiny! Despite being an older piece, this piece is special to my heart.

Welcome back to a new post for my “Meet the Cast” series, today I’m re-introducing you all to my main villain of Angel’s Destiny, Isaac! (He/Him)

Pictured here is an image of my original character, Isaac. Next to him there is text that reads as follows:

“This is no ordinary demon, once a wolf, Isaac is now a demon Who is hellbent on achiving his master plan and proving himself to everyone. Isaac is not one to be messed with, as he is cunning and powerful. His main rival, Maddie, is the only one who stands in his way, and he’s always scheming to take her down for good. He wishes it didn’t have to be this way, but he can’t let her, or any of her friends stand in his way. Isaac is cold, and sometimes callous, but this is due to his goals,
and the one who influences him to pursue them.”

“Isaac comes off as someone who is nothing but evil, but his Weakness lies in his true nature. When he pushes himself too far, he begins to doubt himself, letting his true nature show, no influence to mask it. He wants to be caring, giving his group a home and jobs, but his kindness is overshadowed by his fear and jealousy, which allowes the influence to corrupt him further.”

While I’ve been, and remain, hard at work for making content, I shall (re)introduce you all to another character!

Welcome back to my “Meet the Cast” series, next up in the Angel’s Destiny series we have the mysterious lady herself, Luna! (She/Her)

Pictured here is an image of my original character, Luna. Next to her there is text that reads as follows:

“This woman is a mystery, no one knows where she came from or why she is here, all we know was that she was traveling under the moonlight with what appeared to be a child, later known as Lucy. Luna prefers the night, finding peace and clarity from it. She is reserved and often keeps to herself, only enjoying company from Maddie and Lucy, and having to tolerate Glitch and their...bold, personality. Luna is no foe, but rather someone who wishes for peace and quiet, but, she takes interest in one person other than those mentioned before.”

“Despite this, she hides many secrets, and often keeps to herself and the many books she surrounds herself with. One of her secrets, though, can lead to her downfall if she isn’t careful. She cares deeply for those who she surrounds herself with, which can cause great harm. Despite this, she learns quite a bit about the world, and secrets that will benefit her, and many others.”

Remember this, don’t waste your talent on someone who doesn’t deserve it and doesn’t appreciate it.
Also, be aware of who you’re drawing for if you’re drawing something for someone else.

The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Sep 3

I don’t care about not having the character, I’m just upset I was essentially scammed out of my time and talent

I made a detailed full scene illustration, and an icon for their character (different than the one I wanted to adopt)
All for nothing.

The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Sep 3

I’m not gonna forget that I once did a draw to adopt for someone’s character, made it extra detailed too just for them, and I was supposed to receive the character.

I never did.

And I just found out it was possibly sold/given to someone else. :]

Hi there, I’m Gabe! I’m currently a college student who has been creating artwork for over 10 years now! I have a bunch of styles I like to work in, and many stories I like to tell with my artwork!

Thank you Neon for the opportunity for people to share their works!

The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Sep 1

Also, with the series I’m working on, you might see some characters have some changes, be it small or big.
The series gives me the opportunity to change some things and make my character’s designs stronger than before

So just keep an eye out for that ;)

The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Sep 1

Moving along in my “Meet the Cast” series, next up in the Angel’s Destiny series we have the lovable little Lucy! (She/Her)

Pictured here is an image of my original character, Lucy. Next to her there is text that reads as follows:

“Lucy’s past is a mystery, one day she arrived to Maddie and Glitch’s residence, alongside Luna. Upon taking a look at Maddie, she assumed the form she takes now, not knowing how it happened or how to change again. Lucy is no fighter, just a kid, but with the help of Jessica she’s learning how to be support when conflict arises. Unlike Glitch, Lucy is incredibly friendly and caring towards people.”

“Lucy is just a kid though, so she’s often left out of conflict so that she doesn’t get hurt, despite the fact she always wants to help. This later on gets her into trouble when she tries to sneak out to help, or when she begins to learn magic behind everyone’s back. Despite this though, she is quite curious and smarter than she looks, helping Oliver and Luna unlock mysteries that will benefit everyone.”

Welcome back to “Meet the Cast!” We’re moving right along and continuing with the characters from Angel’s Destiny!

This next character is Glitch! (She/They)

Pictured here is an image of my original character, Glitch. Next to her there is text that reads as follows:

“A demon who was supposed to suffer for the rest of their life, Glitch wound up getting stuck with Maddie. Everyday she is thankful for this, and is almost always by Maddie’s side, helping her with her mission.
Glitch is a powerful demon and a master with her craft in the way of fire. It’s hard for Glitch to warm up to people, but when she does, she’s a great ally.

With her past, she can be emotionless, or very emotinal. They sometimes seek fights for adrenaline but when forced to fight, she doesn’t hold back.
These traits have gotten her into trouble before, but she’s learning how to deal with these problems as they grow. This eventually leads her to reach a potential that was never thought possible before.”

Starting a new series: “Meet the Cast!”
It’s quite self explanatory, but basically I will be drawing my characters and a bit of their story so that you, the audience, get to meet my characters! I’m starting with my main series, Angel’s Destiny!

And here to start off this, this is Maddie! (She/Her)

Pictured here is an image of my original character, Maddie. Next to her is a brief summary of her and a small bit of her story. Pictures too is her name and her pronouns (She/Her)
Above her left (our right) hand is the symbol often seen in artwork that is made for Angel’s Destiny, the story she comes from.

(The description here is from image above for those who find it hard to read the text):

This is no ordinary angel, once a wolf, Maddie is now an angel Who is trying to stop the world from falling into chaos. Don’t let her fluff and her kind nature fool you though, she’s way stronger than she may appear. With her main rival, Isaac, and other strong foes always around the corner, she is often on her toes, even if she wishes that she didn’t have to fight.
She’s an incredibly kind soul, almost always having a warm smile on her face, and some of her friends she met by saving them and offering them a home.
With her role however, she often pushes herself so that she can protect the ones she loves and cares about. Sometimes, her kindness and her want to not fight being used against her.
She’s lost a lot in her lives, but she’s determined to not lose anyone else, even if it means pushing herself to her limits, unlocking new abilities, and doing what seems impossible.

In the end, I’m so glad I’ve improved in my writing and storytelling so that I can see weird decisions and ideas like this and realize the flaws with them to make my story better <3

The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Aug 27

Personally I think from a writing and storytelling standpoint, to be able to actually introduce each character properly and not have to do a small “flashback” scene once to explain it all, it would be best to have it start at the very beginning, in act one

It makes sense, right?

The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Aug 27

Now to the question:

If I was able to make Angel’s Destiny into an animated show, would it make sense to have it start at the beginning (when she is a wolf still)
Or at the beginning of the second act when we see her in the form she assumes through it? (The form most know)

The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Aug 27

Like, especially now, Angel’s Destiny should start at the beginning (like the comic will be), not at the most random point in the middle of the story. I guess it was, in a way, to introduce Maddie and her role, but it’s still so bizarre.

The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Aug 27

Genuine question that’s going to require context and may be a bit of a small thread

So a long time ago before, I wanted to make Angel’s Destiny an animated show. (I still do lol)
But something bothering me looking back at it? Why did it try to start at meeting Dusty?

Note: if you wanna catch the art I’ve been posting, it’s gonna be on my Insta. That’s the only place I’ve felt safe to post recently. But if you’d rather wait a day or two, I’ll start posting here again real soon.

Thank you again, everyone. <3

The Angel’s Den 🪽 @theangelsden.bsky.social · Aug 18

I don’t know if I’m quite ready to post anything just yet, I might need a day or two more before I feel ready to come back, but I didn’t want to leave you all in the dark.

One again, thank you for all of your guy’s kind words, I really do appreciate them all.
