One of my experimental acrylics on canvas panels--an unlikely pair of lovers---a blonde-haired angel possessively holds a pale dark-haired, bat- winged lady with a supposedly tarnished reputation! Just my idea of a 'good guy/bad girl type of romantic entanglement. This was done with very minimal details, yet I think the image I'm trying to depict is portrayed well enough. I've chosen a pale soft blue gray color accented with silver for the angel's colors,  while strong rusts and red oxide accented with copper were used for the bat-wing woman.

I LOVE her wings, especcially (did I spell that right?) the little purple stones, they look SO real!

Yes, in the demon/angel love theme I also have always imagined Demon as a female and Angel as a male2 I like your version of Demon, though: so unusually non-agressive, and clad n the earth tones (against the classical red-and black). So the bad girl is not so bad, and the Angel guy, possessed by quite the earthly emotions, doesn't look too holy either (though he looks good all right, all of your characters do!2)
And of course only you could say "very minimal details" about their wonderful wings!2) Excellent job!

I like this acrylic work, I am always jealous when people can use acrylic and make it blend like this. Wonderful art I think I am getting redundant in my comments, but alas I have to comment when something catches my eye.

Xena and Gabrielle?! How did ya’ll get here? THis is really great! It really reminds me of Xena: Warrior Princess.

i like the way you push boundaries within the worlds your characters live in, as forbidden love is the sweetest tabu, i guess that we would all like to believe that love would defy even the greatest odds

What is it with all this Angel & Devil being in love? I’ve seen a lot of pictures like that on Elfwood. Yours is probably my favorite though. Very well drawn and colored.
