how many wings 'till you get to the center of an Archangel?

mostly clean lineart of Gabriel the archangel descending to earth after leaving heaven
yes there are two sets of wings there is actually three but the third set is miniature and extends backwards as tail rutters
the wings are different shapes as well because of their different purposes
1st set is made mostly for soaring
2nd set for long endurance flights
3rd set which you cant see act as direction aid.

Was reading fanfiction and have seen pictures of angels and other creatures with more than one set of wings... so I went and started figuring out the muscle structure of it all. because it's fascinating like that!

All together this was kind of interesting because some wiki site said Gabriel had some 600 wings... and I was like wait what? and thought maybe.. not so much as 600 pairs of wings out at a time, more of how many times can a wing be ripped out and regrown? within the 3 separate pairs of wings. :3
Also Gabriel looks a big younger here because of just landing still alittle youthful, 

And this is a crappy picture indeed.
