SciFi and Fantasy Art: Nigel and MeresankhThis is Nigel and Meresankh on a balcony-type thing. Nigel… that’s short for NightAngel… he’s Yumeni’s (the angel from the Narcissism pic) brother – you know who you are :P
I’ve been wanting to draw Nigel for a while, but I never thought my first picture of him would be like this. I originally wanted to draw him in his Angel of Death type role: black plate armor, two-handed sword, decimating entire armies single-handedly with mind-blowing Void powers (distorting reality and imploding things like a black hole)… but I couldn’t yet come up with a composition that would adequately capture this. He is a moon angel, and is typically very arrogant, very obnoxious, and very flashy, although oddly enough in a very cool and charismatic way. So here he is acting rather out of character, handing Meresankh a withered flower (stuff tends to die around moon angels).
Meresankh (“loves life” in ancient Egyptian) is an elven Queen of the Pleiades, said to be the most beautiful woman in the galaxy. She is very wary of Nigel at first because, well, it’s hard to trust somebody that annihilated half your armies. You see, Nigel was hired as a mercenary by the Orion Queen, who was at war with the Pleiades. But when he saw Meresankh it was love at first sight and he decided to switch sides because… well… who’s gonna stop him? He was never too big on politics anyway, he was just bored. The Orion Queen was quite irked. The tables have turned, and now it was her turn to figure how to get rid of a being who was, by definition, invincible. That’s a long story, though, and I will tell you she did figure out ways, hehe… but that’s why Yumeni’s there to watch Nigel’s back.
So yeah, that’s Meresankh and Nigel, Light and Dark, Life and Death... whose emotional bond became so strong that Meresankh managed to bring Nigel back from the Void into which he was cast by Orion. Drawn in markers and pencil.
P.S. The stars are so huge and so many because they’re in the Pleiades, which is a cluster of densely packed young blue stars… the sky there must be spectacular *_*
...gotta love anti-gravity hair... | |

| 18 Oct 2003 |  Anya ´broom rider´ Kholodova | I love the picture. It's beautiful. Composition, colors, everything is beautiful, beautiful, beau-uuutiful! I love their poses. And their expressions. I love the picture. At the first glance I thought there are two males  ) (guess I have a problem considering my inclination to see every lovely creature as a male )) And... keep Maedjoe, I'll take your brother Nigel instead )   Nina Eydelman replies: "*glomps Maedjoe* Lol, I knew we could work something out. =D Gotta be careful with them moon angels, tho, they're prickly and highly unstable. Maedjoe aint all that stable either, but then again he IS spawned from a moon angel  " | |
| 23 Oct 2003 |  Anonymous | I have a pretty nursery picture of blocks, a drum and a jack-in-the-box that I bought in south Florida 30 years ago it is signed Marci does anyone know anything about this work? | |
| 28 Oct 2003 |  Emma 'Saoirse' Cuddy | This is cool. Her hair rocks! Yay for antigravity hair!!

| 5 Nov 2003 | Anonymous | It is so pretty. It is like life and death. | |
| 7 Mar 2004 | Chinchilla Queen | There are so many things I could say about this picture. Life and death. Love and hate. Day and night. Pure balance! | |
| 28 Apr 2004 |  Ezra Urk the Gurk Fulford | I think she's laughing at him inside. Nicely, I'm sure. | |
| 2 Nov 2004 | Tempa Spyder | ooh! turn Meresankh 'mortal' so that nigel kills her with viod powers (that he doesn't seem to control), then put a stake through his heart! | |
| 2 Nov 2004 | Tempa Spyder | ways i can think about (give me a list?)
1. put a wooden stake through his heart
2. tell meresankh that he is a lier so that she would dump his (then try #1)
that's about it for now. It's like the peter pan movie (the non-disney new one), or like defeating any of my brother's super heros. | |
| 29 Oct 2005 |  Menilae | Don't put a stake through Nigel's heart at ALL! HE'S TO SEXEH TO DIE! OMG!
I ADORE this picture. Its so beautiful and sparkly. I SO wish I was the girl right now.... | |
