Description I have been trying, basically since I first read the book well over 2 years ago, to do a piece of Good Omens fanart that I am actually happy with, that shows Crowley and Aziraphale as I see them in my head. I never thought that day would come, and yet, it has. I couldn't be more happy. (Well, maybe I COULD be more happy if this had actually SCANNED WELL, but I should have figured out by now that nothing I draw ever scans well. That's half the reason most of my stuff is CG, even when it doesn't need to be. )

So yeah, it's everybody's favourite dark-hair-and-good-cheekbones demon, and seemingly gayer-than-a-treeful-of -monkies-on-nitrous-oxide angel. I love this book way too damn much. Most fanart of Crowley more or less looks like Crowley, since he's pretty well described in the book, but Aziraphale gets NO description, so all pictures of him look pretty different. Most people, fangirls especially, tend to favour a young and pretty Aziraphale. I've always imagined him more like this, although I haven't had the skill to quite get it down on paper until now. I think I'm finally, finally happy where my style's headed. Hell yes. Now if only that hand didn't suck so much.

This is mostly just mechanical pencil, but I got some grey Copic markers at Anime North, so I used a couple of those, mostly just to smooth out the pencil shading that was already there in places.

Crowley and Aziraphale belong to Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, who wrote Good Omens and are therefore way cooler than I'll ever be.

Your Aziraphale is so damn charming! You have a lovely style. Your Crowley has a David Tennant Thing going on, especially in that suit with those side burns. Great job.

Lol, I LOVE that book! You drew theme pretty much exactly how I had imagined them, although for some reason, I always imagined Aziriphale w/ glasses. o.O Awesome job. everything looks perfect, 'cept the hand being a bit too small, and Aziriphale's hair looks a little flat, but it took my about half a minute to even notice those things. Overall, wonderful job.

Thanks. Heh, I've actually drawn Aziraphale with glasses before... it comes and goes, really. I can see him having reading glasses, at least.

yeah, your probably right about the reading glasses, but I always think he looks a little naked w/out his glasses. Like, holy crap, wheres your nerd garments, 'ziriphale? D:

I'm usually more of a Gaiman fan myself, but I suppose I can't disagree, since I've been on a huge Discworld kick lately.

This needs much more love than it has. I never realised that Az didn't have a decent description until you pointed it out. Now it has my little brain spinning with possibilities. At 5:30 in the morning. Damn.

Crowley looks oddly familliar.. and that's a little disturbing.

Good Omens can always use more love in general. Yeah, poor Aziraphale never gets a description, so the variety of differing appearances in fanart is always kinda cool.

Maybe Crowley's stalking you? :3

And thanks for the fav and watch! ^^

Very nice indeed! It's like... realistic, and cartoonie! I like that indeed ^^ You really brought out the character in both of them, and your face anatomy is really well done too !

Thanks. ^^ I've been really working on my style lately, trying to push it towards realism without actually BEING realism. XD

Oooh, very nice I like the guy on the left a lot, he seems to be very... alive? in this picture. Though I think his hand might be a little too small. And I commend you for being able to draw curly hair well o_o

Thanks, I'm pretty sure you're right about the hand - I redrew that hand literally about 15 times, though, so the fact it even resembles a hand is kind of a miracle at this point. XD
