The Mermaid and the Phoenix look great.

The people over at the Duirwaigh Gallery have some pretty nice works. My favourites are Thomas Canty, Ian Daniels and Kinuko Craft.

This is by Ian Daniels and is called Dragonlore. Tell me if it seems vaguely familiar ;)

D2 Angels are all metally: Image but the Archangels are more like humans with wings, and they only plant rods and heal. Damn weird, hope in D3 (no more rod planters) they make them more powerful then an normal angel.

there does seem to be a preference for female angels .... maybe it has to do with beauty of form to match beauty of mind?

A non warrior angel has no place in combat.Only fighting ones should be there.
