In the Book of Enoch, Shemhazai (or Samyaza) was a high-ranking angel who lead a band of 200 angels to earth. Lusting after the women of earth, defiling themselves with them and sharing forbidden knowledge with them, they were condemed as fallen angels.
They were all cast into the earth except Azazel who was 'bound and thrown into the fiery abyss' and Samyaza (Shemhazai) who was 'bound and hung in the heavens as a warning for all to see and remember, as the constellation Orion'.
I think, strictly speaking, he should have six wings, but the band asked if I could draw it with twelve... which is really difficult to pull off without it looking like some kind of ungainly mutant dragonfly :/
No plans right now - I still don't have a tablet and the thought of colouring it by mouse makes me feel dizzy lol
