Description Well, woah. This will look incredibly bad if I don't offer an explanation. This is an illustration for Crown of stars , a Good Omens fanfiction that tells about the Apocalypse. I feel a bit bad about drawing the scene where Michael is killed, but he was pretty evil in the fic. Crowley was initialy the serpent in the garden of Eden, but has been stationed on earth for quite a while now. It was supposed to remind of those medieval pictures where Michael slays the dragon.

I had a tiny heart attack when I saw this because I thought he was stabbing Aziraphale.
Gorgeous though. Going to read the fic now.

The entries containing CoS and its follow-ups are now open; we're very sorry to have had the collabs community locked for so long, but LJ had some nasty policies at the time that we were trying to protect ourselves from! Here's the link, anyway:

Wow this is such an awesome picture. You've really got Crowley's emotions down pat on his face! This is really really good down to every little detail, including the icky blood flying out of Michael's mouth. Erk.

What community on lj is that fic posted in? I tried to go to the link but it said I don't have access. (would really like to read the fic)

Awesome picture!

ok, i really need to read Good Omens now Oo one of my friends was laughing about it maybe a year ago and she said it was awesome.

And isn't Micheal the arch angel of war or battle or something like that? This is remarkable and VERY cool. Well done. ^^

...you know, Linn, there's a series of fanfictions out there that have Michael and Beelzebub paired... if you want, I could send you a link to them. They might inspire you. ^_^

Let me know, eh?

Also, this pic is gorgeous and terrifying, somehow. Maybe it's the look on Crowley's face. Either way, I love this. Beautiful work. ^_^

But, here you go. I hope you enjoy them. ^_^

PS: The Mike/Beel ones are a little further down... the series starts with Crowley/Zira.

Gah! I read Crown of Stars before, but the lj's friends-only now... I have to wait before I can read it again!

But this pic is really gorgeous. Makes me feel a lot better especially considering how depressing the fic got to be in parts... Michael's wings look really pretty, and the look in Crowley's eyes is really well-done.

In this case, unfortunately, Michael is a *bastard*.

(And yes, it's the story's fault. In other words, mine.)

Crowley looks uber....dunno but its gotta be something big. Really good picture though, everything works together to make it...whoa...



on reflection I've decided never to post a comment after not having a decent cup of coffee at quarter to nine in the morning. stupid traffic.

Rain-drop [2005-06-26 00:24:12 +0000 UTC]

Wow. What an intense scene. Are those wings the dying guy sports? Oh my gosh, an ANGEL is dying? That is so sad! And the look on his face - surprise, pain, hurt, etc. - is done perfectly. The guy who's doing the killing looks very evil; the red eyes really add to the effect. I like how you made the background dark and desolate looking; very good for supporting the dark mood. I wonder why there's an area of light around the sword that's piercing the angel's heart? Is it the angel's soul going back to heaven, or what?
Very poetic piece. Very expressive. Love it.

The lighting on his arm is amazing. The way you've made it radiating from his wound is very powerful... and the pose is so graceful. there's a real epic feel about this one. love the strokes in the wings and sky.

Oh, wow. Feel a lot better now that I actually know who's in the image. Beautiful, as always! And you've got the 'dragon slaying' feel right down. Are those Crowley's wings on the ground? Love the light effect where the sword hits. Contrasting the darkness of the rest of the picture.
Lovely!

Linnpuzzle In reply to ref [2005-06-22 23:44:38 +0000 UTC]

It's complicated, but I hope the epilogue will clear stuff up more than I can. It's not Crowley's wings on the ground, sorry if that wasn't clear. It's the ...rest of a different angel. Crowley and Aziraphale are fighting without their wings out to symbolize which side they're on. They're on man's side in this.

I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you! (And thank you even more for commenting over at puzzlebleu)

I think my favorite part of this is Crowley's eyes. They just show so much emotion that they stick out among everything.

I've never read Good Omens, but I'll check it out.. Who wrote it?

Linnpuzzle In reply to Natara [2005-06-22 23:08:13 +0000 UTC]

Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's a parody on all those doomsday books. Quite fun, worth the read.

You create some very nice depictions of Crowley; it sort of elaborates upon his personality where Good Omens left off.

It's a great picture. I like Crowley's expression. He's such a fun character.
