The Angel is Flying

From the start of this design, I didn't want to put a halo on the angel.
First, it would unbalance the 2 character being back to back.
Second, I think is ugly, and I hate HALO.

One of the way for me to show the character being an angel is wings, but with the limited space, there isn't any room for the wings.

The only option left for me to use is feathers.

I just use the same technique for the feathers using strokes and brushes
