Description
I've wanted to paint this ever since I read that scene from the "Good Omens" book by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Yeah, the eeryone-knows-it scene with Crowley driving his Bentley while it's burning and - putting it mildly - falling apart. I found that scene both very cool and very deep in an emotional and psychological aspect. I hope I got the colors and shadings right. Crowley rules, as much as Aziraphale, for his incredibly untraditional personality,After much thinking I called it "Damn",because it can mean anything - "Damn,your car's on fire!", or "Damn, how do you do that?", or "Damn you people,damn you hell,damn you apocalypse,damn you car"",or just "Damn" in gereral, as "damned" is more of a professional characteristic of Crowley's. So,there it is, it can't get anymore "damn" than that
P. S. I suck at drawing cars, guns, machines and houses, so please ignore the car.

Eh, the car is always difficult. But the intensity of the expression just blows all that away.

I have to say, if I cared for the car, I might have been able to make it better. Still,I am glad you don't seem to mind. I am glad you like the expression. And yes, the car was burning anyway.

Crowley came out looking a bit like Steven Tyler, which in my opinion just makes it look even more awesome XD
On a side note, I always pictured him in this scene as having this huge feral grin on his face with a crazed look in his eye and laughing maniacally... Kinda like he's realized that all the little niceties that he's tried to preserve all this time are gonna be destroyed no matter what, and so he's going full steam into "I DON'T GIVE A F***!!!" mode lol.

This was a great description you gave of what I imagined in relation to this scene.
Funny how I actually experienced something similar, as an emotion, very recently. It didn't involve flaming cars, thank goodness...

The question is not why you didn't fave this... the question is why it took me so long to reply to this. Well, there were crazy reasons. I'm sorry. And thank you.

"It would take a lot to faze a copper from the Met.
It would take, for example, a huge, battered car that was nothing more nor less than a fireball, a blazing, roaring, twisted metal lemon from Hell, driven by a grinning lunatic in sunglasses, sitting amid the flames, trailing thick black smoke, coming straight at them through the lashing rain and the wind at eighty miles per hour.
That would do it every time."
xD
Damn do I love Good Omens. There's not enough fanart on here.
Awesome pic, captured the moment perfectly. I love his expression, especially the eyes it's like they're piercing right through you. Totally fixed on his goal and not stopping for anything.

"He DOES know that his car is on fire, right? He must know."
One of my favorite things about Good Omens. The poor Bentley. xD

Wow. That is the coolest piece of art done illustrating that scene.
(I know the word 'cool' doesn't cover it, but words fail me yet again.

Wow. Thank you. It really means a lot. I know what you mean, but yes, the main characteristic of that scene is the daring,tense coolness radiating from it... so, yeah,I tried to depict it.
Well,the idea of Crowley in a flaming car is cool.It's the first word that comes to your mind.

i didn't see flaws when I looked at it, I just saw an awesome piece of art

Thank you...Well,the thing is the wheels just can't be in the middle...but yeah,who cares...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
this is drawn professionally, the focus is on the character, so nothing draws attention away from him...it's even better that you draw the car that way
it's only confusing that the steering wheel is in the middle instead of being on the left(right) side... but that's irrelevant anyway...
great picture

I'm so flattered. Really,you don't know how much it means to me. If I had drawn the car differently,I'd hate it anyway cuz I hate cars.
Yeah,I noticed the wheel went all wrong,but if I were to correct it,I had to erase everything else,and I couldn't make such a sacrifice
