I love that drawing, I did it on a piece of choir music in high school. Angels have always fascinated me. Their origins in my personal experience have been rooted in Christianity. Messengers of God, they were divided into different kinds by function and number of wings. I don't remember it and if you really want to know you can always Wiki it. Though I still remember the angel as a messenger, and as a guardian. The only angels I can remember are Gabriel and Lucifer. Of course everyone knows how in Christian religion Lucifer was struck down to hell by God for challenging him. This seemed confusing to me because I was under the impression that angels lacked free will. Something I find interesting is early depictions of feathery winged faeries which predates Christianity. Whatever their origins I just love them to death. People of angelic appearance have also been popular in Japanese manga and anime, numerous characters having the ability to sprout wings for one reason or another. Well that's today's thought, I do love angels.
