Saturday progress on my current Ineffable Wives WIP.

Oh shitttttt look at the details in this, people.

OP your art process sounds painfully familiar, straight down to the playlist on repeat while I work. Great piece.

Hold my head inside your hands I need someone who understands I need someone, someone who hears For you, I've waited all these years For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come Until my day, my day is done And say you'll come and set me free Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

~*~*~

holy hell I think it's done? I don't normally do much fanart but my brother and I wanted to understand why all the tumblr girlies are so obsessed with these day old men so we binged this show which immediately grabbed me by the throat and hurled me into the gay old men fervor and wouldn't let me do anything else until I finished some kind of tribute ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

few more process shots+thoughts beneath the cut ♥

okay so I know you have to be kinda careful about making someone's face all black... but I usually dislike clearly human halves on most monster designs, and red wouldn't work either, so I just kind of tried to lighten it closer to the orangey scales on his snake face and hope it worked out?

you can see the other design ideas I had for naga!crowley in the thumbnail sketch but it diverged enough that actually I'm gonna probably just keep that as a separate design for perhaps a future character, like a tiefling/salamander npc for the next campaign perhaps 🤔

this one took a lot longer than usual due to trying to actually somewhat accurately capture an existing person's face, trying to put more effort into detailing the scales, and a style of hair I don't draw as often haha. wahoo @ being able to rather fittingly apply my monsterpeople habits to some fanart for once :)

I immediately threw together a playlist for them that I keep listening to on repeat and "til kingdom come" is the last song on there, which has been giving me blorbo heart hurty for over a decade now

genuinely felt a tangible kind of relief like 'ahhhh...' when I finished the lines cause this art was all-consuming til I let it out 8') I really really wanna keep drawing these two but feel like a week or two is all I can reasonably take away from commissions at the moment... but if I can power through another real quick maybe I'll allow myself some smorching doodles heehee

Sign me up for the Historical Minisode Mini Bang!!!

This collaborative event invites writers to create your own historical minisodes--or put your own spin on one of the existing canonical ‘sodes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How it works:

Authors will write a short story of at least 3k words revolving around the theme of Good Omens historical minisodes. Then, in December, all authors will be anonymously paired with an artist who will create an artwork based on the author’s story.

Everyone is welcome to join, whether you are a seasoned pro at fandom events or are brand new to the concept of bang collaborations.

For more info, check out the rules and FAQ linked below.

Fem Aziraphale with 🌟actual line art🌟

Oh, this is so soft and lovely. What a wonderful piece of art.

I'm a sucker for The Starmaker's angelic squiggle of curls on top of his head.

a canon event for every oldest daughter is being told “you would be a good lawyer”

A speedpaint I did for a couple of fantastic Redditors over on /r/GoodOmensAfterDark. The request was David Tennant as a an elf from LOTR. I humbly present to you: Davidriel.

literally the first thing i thought of when it happened…. i wish i could make gifs lmao

blood of a reptile, just underneath the skin

DRAMA!CROWLEY, ACTIVATE!

So we meet here again, in front of another flaming-as-anything-ginger Crowley. We can't keep doing this, you know. People will talk.

More info and hi res under the jumpppppppppppp.

I wanted to try my hand at a standalone portrait of Crowley before I jump back into what will inevitably be another Aziracrow portrait---I'm thinking 1920s theme. Flapper Crowley & Aziraphale? But that's for another time.

I wanted to try grey scale under-painting in digital art. A success, I hope? I'm pretty happy with the portrait (for now, give it a week and I'll hate everything about this painting, happens every time!)

I struggled a bit on the eyes in this piece. I normally paint straight color to canvas, so I have a method to my madness with painting eyes. Not so, here! This was new territory. I'm not 100% satisfied, but that just means I need more practice.

ALSO, GOLGOTHA HAIR WITH A BRAID WHAT WHAAAAAT

And because I learned how to paint snake scales for the last portrait, I decide to reprise that theme and torture myself again keep practicing them, this time with iridescence. I wanted to keep the scales low-key, though, almost as if they're just emerging or maybe the viewer caught a momentary glimpse of scales through the veil to an ethereal occult plane. Additionally, I wanted some good creepy claw hands with long fingernails (big fan of creepy, me) for a proper demonic manicure.

About: All digital, all Photoshop. Orig. 7200 x 5400 px. ~1 week of off-and-on painting. Title is taken from Reptile by Nine Inch Nails because I guess I'm still naming art after 30 year old albums? Is this a thing I do, now?

...and if so, can you imagine what I'll have to draw to use lyrics from Hurt in the title?

Every time I draw a Crowley.

i personally think it's so fucking funny that all the gomens artists can't draw aziraphale one to one. like dt/crowley they perfect him instantly, i've never seen a crowley that hasn't looked perfectly like dt. but michael sheen? unknowable. undrawable. he's so shaped and so.... ineffable >:)... that people just have to make up their own interpretations of his face. and it still tracks don't get me wrong! it's still Aziraphale, but it's definitely not one to one with michael boy.

with a name like that, i don't know what he expected

Painting the eyes has always been my favorite part of any portrait. Current WIP. Will probably be the next finished piece I post, unless Something Terrible happens.

Look how adorable these shades are!

hello good omens fandom

*throws fanart and runs away*

Me rn doin the excited hippity hoppity

Bless you for mentioning the jawline indentation, I spent a truly ludicrous amount of time obsessing over it.

help me, you tear down my reason

-------------------------- This is my ransom note to Neil Gaiman love letter to the ineffable idiots and the Gomens fandom. There will undoubtedly be more because I caught the brain rot so bad. More info and high res below the jump.

Scaly semi-snek flaming-like-anything-ginger freckled Crowley because why not? I wanted to mess around with a very pale, slightly creepy color palette for skintones, so this was a good exercise. And anyway, I could draw DT's glorious swan-like neck every day for the rest of my life and never grow weary of it.

Michael Sheen's nose --hell, his profile in general--will be my undoing. He is SUCH a challenge to draw, which I adore. I used quite literally 4x the references for 'Zira than for Anthony Janthony.

About: All digital, all Photoshop, baby. Orig. 4483 x 5391 px. ~2 weeks of off-and-on painting when I got tired of my work art. Title is taken from Closer by Nine Inch Nails because I pretty much exclusively listened to The Downward Spiral on repeat while I worked on this piece, because that's the kind of angsty teenage headspace I'm in??? I'm fucking 34 years old, I thought I was past this.

Felt this in my bones.

Artists confession

When I draw the two ineffable idiots, Crowley either ends up looking like a lesbian or a vampire, and Aziraphale like a baby girl or Daddy.

A portrait of myself that I've started painting to match the portrait I did of my friend and business partner. We're using these on our businesses'eses's website in lieu of photos because fuck having photos of ourselves out there on the internet.

A portrait I painted of my friend and business partner with her cat, Nito (who is the CTO of our business. He's always on top of technology -- mostly laying on keyboards).
