Nine Choirs

Description

These are symbols for the nine angelic choirs. They'll be used throughout the comic 'Serafine' at regular intervals, so I've put them onto the computer to make my life easier; better than having to draw them every time!

These designs were a blast to design- don't think I did it alone! Elise and I, one day while comic plotting together, decided to go to the library to do some research and got somewhat sidetracked with these designs. Each one is extremely symbolic, and often customized towards certains aspects of the story (the Thrones symbol, for example, references an umbrella, which is a joke you'll have to read the comic to understand). Someone very familiar with Angelic Choirs, their symbols and jobs will understand a lot about these, with the exception of the Messengers symbol.
It's worth noting that Messengers aren't called that in the bible, but are simply called 'angels'. Elise chose a different name for them to avoid confusion.
