Hey all!

In the latest Pin-Ups and Adventurers poll you voted for: “Let Catilus decide” for the first time! So, I am  choosing to draw FOUR pin-ups in two months! Here’s the first pin-up girl: Nel, my half-angel shadow sorceress and painter!

I made several versions of this piece. This is the "safe" version, and I posted a spicy one just before, and another one in the Catilus discord! https://discord.gg/catilus

Nel flying free. Safe from persecution, she is now free to explore the world of mortals and enjoy the simple pleasures of everyday life, as well as the occasional luxury!

Character: Nel, Half-Angel Shadow Sorceress and Painter

Nel is a gentle and submissive half-angel who secretly harbors a lot of resentment and hate for oppressors. Regarded as a divine monstrosity from birth, she spent most of her life in a lightless prison alongside dangerous monsters under the watchful eyes of ruthless theomachist inquisitors who oppose the gods.

Her only friends were Red, a rebellious half-demon boy who shared the same fate as her, and an elderly priest who saw past the prejudices of most inquisitors and showed kindness to Nel and Red.

When inquisitors failed to use Nel’s blood in a ritual that called for the blood of an angel, an enraged orc paladin lady saw the evil in their actions and demanded Nel and Red’s release, shouldering the burden of responsibility for her in case she betrayed mortalkind.

Now, Nel is a fugitive, persecuted both by vengeful gods and zealotous theomachist priests, so she hides he true angelic identity with magic, even assuming a different gender from time to time to throw off her pursuers.

Nelchior, the warring god of the night and dark secrets, claims dominion over dark angels and is particularly interested in subverting Nel’s power for his schemes. Between Nelchior’s plans and the monster hunters on her tail, she has precious few friends she can rely upon.

Nel is one of my characters in the Theomachy setting!

About the Theomachy setting:

In Theomachy, vengeful gods fight each other for ultimate control of the universe, while the mortals of Naam struggle for power on a dying world. Divine magic is a force without expressed will that the warring gods hoard and wield against each other, threatening to undo the entire world. Clerics and paladins are either devout followers of the warring gods or theomachists who fight against the gods, liberating divine magic and using it against them.
