ZERAPH FUCKING LUMINO :iconfuckyeaplz:

Venen, you may now turn into an ocean ;P

FINALLY IT'S DONE :iconfinallyplz:


So alas, i have done my Zeraph drawing, and just look at the improvement. This installation was originally to display an Explanation for Zeraph's Throne title, yet more changes underwent in the process of design.

First thing's first
A thanks to :iconiantoy: who's Tim Drake Deviation shown below lead to inspiration of Zeraph's pose
Give it some love as thanks :3

Second, physical changes.
I've been at this design for months so it's been a while since you've seen a Zeraph (i have been reminded of it too much ^^; )
But, this is what you have in the changes section

- Hairstyle, not much of a change but still something to get to it, the color schemes here should be all correct here - i'd also like to note that during this production, Angelo too had minor changes to his hairstyle - primarily his black streaks being under the hair instead of above it, his left side (under his natural eye) also has a minor style modification

- Armbands; originally, Zeraph had scarves on his arms. Now he has Armbands with his sign on them, but don't worry, he has a similar suit with scarves, this is just the clothes he wears most often (like Dave's red shirt was his main one but he had the felt and spades suit too).

- Staff; if you did notice, it's just a stick now and doesn't have some weird shape on its tips. The staff is a Chang Gun Staff, but with the material modifications, Zeraph denotes it as a Chengun. His main one has the name The Rasalhague, which is one of the Brightest stars in the Ophiuchus Constellation

Right then, so now you can see the changes, now to know his new Title

Throne of Light
A Throne, unlike many of my friends' depiction of it as a chair leading to calling him Mr Shair :stare:, is an Angelic Hierarchy in Christian Religion and aligns itself with the Wheels to create the Ophanim, which carries God's Chariot.

The Throne Title itself is known as an Enforcer title, and in short is to
'Enforce Justice by the use of Aspect'
Thrones in the modern day are extremely rare, almost as rare as Muses and Lords. Thrones, however, have no gender boundary and are considered a Neutral Class, as it is passive in that it helps others and active in that one must use it to ensure the passive action.
As a rare Class, Thrones are extremely powerful and possibly the class most channeled into its Aspect. Thrones are granted great strength, seer-like knowledge, a sixth sense of knowing when something unjust is happening and healing abilities - that are only active when the reason is Just. Thrones also are able to physically travel through the Medium and can consult with the Horrorterrors and see the Skaian Clouds; how this is possible is unknown.
As Enforcers, their role in completing the game is highly debatable. Ancient myths have depicted Thrones as being a Spiritual medium of positive energy between Universes, and that a Throne must die in order to create a new universe, making Thrones appear as a Sacrificial role, however, many Thrones appear as great leaders, and apply a Soldier like role like the Knights. Only the part about being a Spiritual Medium in the myth, have been proven to be possible.
It is common for Thrones to conflict with the Prince class, mainly due to the Prince's actions being unjust due to their Destroyer role.
A Throne cannot misuse their powers, if a Throne ceases to be humble and impartial in it's justly decision, the class will literally abandon its owner and replace themselves with a more fitting class - which is why Thrones are rare. The class leaves its wielder to protect the natural balance of positive and negative channeled energies, no-one knows if it chooses a new wielder or returns to the universe.

In Zeraph's case, he uses his powers to ensure a balance into my headcanonverse. This 'Balance' that he strives to, is an equality of blood similar to a Pre-Game Alternia, however, he has been outlawed by the Highblood Dictated Government (ran by The Highblood Court; which includes Eridan, Choard Lawsen and Feferi - though Fef is secretly a sympathizer of lowbloods). Zeraph uses his Light powers to get to places quickly, have an immortal like appearance - including Matrix like dodging :la:, be incredibly elusive and create illusions to further aid his use of enforcing Just actions in Vigilante style.

So yeah, i didn't count how long i took to do this mainly because i took time out when it came to shading ^^; but a few months it took on PS Elements 7 :dummy:
Background and Fog was by the most EPIC of smudging (originally i had a cliff near a forest and beach at an early sunrise, but i couldn't get the colors right :iconotlplz: )
And Zeraph himself was colored by tips of a Manga coloring book i have :dummy:

i have been through lowered confidence, losing copies, tablet not working, colors and shadows not working to having to magic select by Pixel, to now a Derpy Mouse :ohnoes: but i can happily say, i'm thrilled with the outcome :iconyayzplz:

And well, ENJOY IT TO FUCKING BITS OKAY :XD:
i'm gonna take some time off after this ;P
