A righteous man

Description

Edit: Updated this. I wasn't digging the grey-blue wings, and I messed with the whole thing a little bit. Better, I think.

A fellow Castiel fan asked for "badass" Castiel, and I mulled over it for a while. Oh, he can be BA, no question. Sometimes just the tone of his voice makes a dude want to quake in his shoes. But when I think about Castiel, I mostly see his slump-shouldered posture in that big old trenchcoat, head cocked in confusion. It's sweet, but it's not badass, and I was having trouble with ideas.

But if you've been following me for a while, you know I've done a handful of Legion fanart, and I thought, hey shit, I sure would love to see Castiel decked out in Gabriel's armor. I tweaked it some to suit him, and I really dig it. You need a nice outfit to go to battle, right?

I realize I made him left-handed, but why not. And I had only the vaguest reference for wings, so forgive me if they're super anatomically off. I mean, we're talkin' about angels, here, so.

I think this armour looks way better than the costumes in Legion. I'm doing a bit of research into them because I want to make an angel costume at some point (after Kili!). The Legion costumes have some interesting elements but overall they were almost savage costumes. They remind me more of bronze age warriors rather than God's greatest weapons.
Castiel looks like a heavenly knight here, I'm almost tempted to cosplay as this exactly. But knowing me I'll always add something along the way. I'm considering working Enochian symbols into the armour and I quite like the cape thing Michael wore in the film, except burgundy or plum velvet rather than flat black fabric.
Anyway, know that you have inspired me!
