Description Full view or I'll poke you with a flaming dinglehopper.

This is another doodle that got out of hand, but I'm such a skilled procrastinator... Anyway, I like Crowley and Aziraphale, flames, swords and epic poses a bit too much for my own good. >u>' I even like the tyre iron since the day I found one in the toolbox. I assume no-one eyer looked at it with such loving eyes, it must have been one of its happiest moments.

Let's say this is set before that last scene at the airbase, when the delivery man takes the sword away.(Why Crowley feels the need to use a cigarette lighter when he's holding a flaming sword is beyond me,btw. °_°) Except, except, it was August, wasn't it? But I distinctly remember coats being mentioned...Ah, well *shrugs*

And here's the meaningful part of this artist comment, in which I talk at length about the mysteries of the creative process, inspiration, expiration, perspiration and so on.

...No, not really, don't get alarmed.
I've realized I subconsciously give Crowley a nose that looks slightly like my old philosophy professor's (she had a nose that could stare you into submission, I used to have nightmares about that snakelike nostrils just...watching me, saying nothing çAç).
I've also realized that that if I'm not careful Aziraphale ends up looking like Alessandro Cecchi Paone* OAO' (while the major problem with Crowley is the tears I shed every time I have to cover his pretty eyes with sunglasses, it wrinkles the sheet...)

Anyway, this was fun, enjoy :'D

Pencil sketch+photoshop
Crowley and Aziraphale belong to Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's distressing to see how often people seem to ignore this fact, like the artist who decorated the pavement of the St Michael's Church in Anacapri in the 18th century with a scene from Eden, for instance. Geez, some people have no respect.

Srsly, this looks just like I imagined Crowley. Don't know if there were any coats mentioned, but knowing Crowley, he probably just made one for the dramatic effect. Love this so much!

Sister-to-the-Queen [2012-02-06 16:11:04 +0000 UTC]

MY GOD BUT THOSE WINGS ARE MAGNIFICENT! (Sorry, first thought coming out.)

Seriously, this is beautiful. I love how detailed the clothes look, and Aziraphale's tartan scarf is mandatory, really. The red scarf on Crowley, and that waistcoat, man! *adores*

And eh... (heh heh) Crowley's really got that Avenging Angel pose down pat, hasn't he. To be expected, really.

The details are most impressive, like those sparks from the lighter, the vein in Crowley's wrist, the different kinds of feathers, and the way the sword burns.

Those expressions make me smile. Really fit the dialogue (which is also hilarious).

I could just keep going, but to sum up? I just love the whole picture.

Hope to see more of your work!

Wow, thank you!! (well, first thought's very much appreciated :'D Although I seriously hate the wing on the left, would redo if I weren't Sloth personified xD)

Thank you so much! The scarf wasn't tartan at first, but it just didn't feel right u.ù

xDD heheh he should give lessons to angels and put it down as Tainting the Enemy with Excessive Theatricality.

Thank you for noticing the sparks! I'm really happy you took time to look at the details and their expressions *hugs*

Thank you thank you thank you for the fantastic comment, I really appreciate it! Yeah, I hope to see more of my work too (for additional info about Sloth, see above) xD

Oh, thank you Becc *_* I should probably point out my debt towards Legolas, who so many years ago taught me that any self-respecting epic pose should have a bent knee somewhere (usually between thigh and leg, but it's not compulsory) U.U

Cecchi Pao--*MUORE* No, dai. Non lo sembra.

Magnifica opera, bellissimi entrambi, Crowley dovrebbe togliersi gli occhiali ogni tanto, ma LA BELLEZZA. Il dialogo, per di più, mi ha strappato una risata. XD L'accendino ho capito cos'era effettivamente solo facendo full view e AW, i dettagli che sono apparsi davanti a me mi hanno fatto provare tanto amore.
Complimenti e...ancora! *grabby hands*

Grazie mille! :'D <3 Sono d'accordo, è una sofferenza dovergli mettere gli occhiali ogni volta çAç Aw, sono contenta, in realtà la minaccia dell'arricciaspiccia era tanto per fare, perchè a me la small view la fa comunque enorme, ma con la full view si vede un pochino meglio la faccia di Az, anche se non abbastanza T^T (mentre le righine del gilet di Crowley nun se vedono comunque D': )
ANCORA!!*CRASH* ...ogni tanto devo farlo...

L'epicita' di Crowley mi colpisce ed esalta. La sciarpa rossa e' un tocco di classe, contanto che al primo battito d'ali fluttuera' elegantemente come una piccola coda di cashemire (o seta purissima). Devo ammettere che a un primo e distratto sguardo (ben prima di visualizzare l'immagine in grande) ho scambiato l'accendino per lo scettro lunare; puoi immaginare l'ilarita' suscitatami dal pensiero di Crawley come sesto membro delle guerriere sailor [che abbandono' il gruppo prima che diventasse famoso].

P.S. No, Azi non sembra Cecchi Paone XD

PPS Ho dimenticato di puntualizzare la cosa piu' importante: e' una figata!

Il suo potere è quello di far svenire le piante con uno sguardo!
