First of all, I can't quite decide if this works for me or not. I Haven't seen the picture, which I think is probably good. I am looking only at the words, the shape as you laid it out, and trying to devine your intent from that.

All of the language seems high-brow, and to some degree unemotional, clinincal in fact, in direct contrast with the meaning of the words. Its a contrast that I think adds a layer of victorian passion which i do like.

I also like the alternating use of glotal, velar and bilabials. It actually makes my mouth feel like it's getting a message as I read it.

I think Quasi-angelic is hyphenated.

Yeah, I don't think this one works for me. I think the form is clever and I see what you're going for, but it's mostly wordy adjectives. I guess it'd take a more solid foundation in a couple different nouns before it'd appeal to me. Maybe the various features. Not sure.
