St. Michael looks almost bored.

"Oh, it's you . . . You want to fight? . . . Are you sure? . . . You know you can't win this, right? . . . Sigh!"

But then again, the devil probably does look pathetic to him.

I really like his wings, though, and the way they follow the "frame" of the drawing. I'll bet they could go on and on . . .

Yes, the whole figure has a somnambulant air to it. It's basically a doodle I did on a scrap piece of paper, so that might explain part of it, though the passivity is also something iconographic in feel.

I really like your take on it, which I think is something I was getting at.

The wings were fun to draw!

You should do a series of ink saints, I saw the Saint Peter and Paul one and it was really beautiful and then this one:) They would do nice bookmarks illustrations...
